We are beyond thrilled to have had the pleasure of working with Natalie as first-time homebuyers in Santa Cruz County. As newcomers to the area, we thought we knew what we wanted and where we wanted to live, but Natalie's deep expertise and knowledge of the local market helped us find a home in a neighborhood that we weren't even considering originally. Needless to say, we couldn't be happier with our decision, and we owe it all to Natalie's guidance and intuition. As a real estate agent, Natalie demonstrated immense patience and understanding as she worked tirelessly to help us find our dream home. Whenever we had time to visit homes in person, she went above and beyond by arranging a packed schedule of viewings and taking the extra time to familiarize us with the neighborhoods and their surrounding amenities. When we were out of town, she was more than willing to conduct video tours for us, at our convenience. We never felt rushed or pushed into making a decision. Instead, Natalie made sure that we were always up to date on offer deadlines and off-market listings, allowing us to make a well-informed decision at our own pace. When it came time to make an offer, Natalie walked us through the process with expertise, helping us to determine a fair and competitive price without exceeding our set budget. In the end, we purchased a home that was not only a perfect fit for our needs but also much more affordable than we had anticipated. During our physical contingency, Natalie's attention to detail truly shined as she made sure we were aware of every potential issue, no matter how small. She seamlessly coordinated with the sellers and contractors, ensuring that every concern of ours was addressed. In short, Natalie made our first home buying experience beyond our expectations. Her patience, attentiveness, and genuine passion for helping us find the right home have left a lasting impression on our family. We are forever grateful for Natalie's guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone searching for their dream home in Santa Cruz County.
