Client Testimonials
Lauren helped us to sell our home, and it was a true pleasure to work with her! She helped prepare our home for sale (staging, truly professional photos, appropriate inspections in advance, etc.), reached out to her many close contacts, and had multiple offers for us within days. She helped guide us through a multi-offer process and the typical (yet always unique to each sale) steps to close. We were very pleased with Lauren's professionalism, her responsiveness and her being just a very nice person! We highly recommend Lauren and believe you will enjoy working with her just as much as we did.
When we decided to sell our home of 24 years, Lauren was recommended to us by a trusted friend. We began a 6-month process of renovation and marketing that was more like a partnership than a client relationship. Lauren was always a pleasure to spend time with, highly professional, and had a huge Rolodex of painters, plumbers, carpenters, and stagers. Because we are still in the neighborhood, and even though the market is "hot," we were looking for a special sort of buyer. Lauren was able to market our house superbly and found us highly-qualified "local" buyers while still reaching the top of the market. Lauren earned every penny of her commission and is the jewel in the crown of Santa Cruz area realtors!
My fiancé and I recently had the pleasure of working with Amy Jeske to purchase our new dream home. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure! From our initial conversations and throughout the whole process, Amy was professional and supportive. She is highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure we always felt like a priority. At each step in the whole process, Amy came through with her commitment to excellence. She also went out of her way to ensure every detail was taken care of – from arranging inspections to researching potential issues with a property. Throughout our journey, Amy demonstrated immense patience and understanding of our personal situation as first time homebuyers. Whether we needed additional explanation or more information on something, she was there to help with patience and understanding. She even went out of her way to provide us with extra resources and various service provider recommendations. We truly loved the way she made us feel throughout the whole process and she really is everything you could ever want and or need in an agent. She’s compassionate, unbelievably kind, smart, dependable, honest, friendly, as well as a good listener. We can’t recommend her and her services enough and I promise you she’ll become part of your family as she has ours.
Lauren recently sold our home of 35 years for us. The process, as is common with house sales, was not without unanticipated glitches. Lauren calmly and efficiently navigated any issues that arose with great intelligence, skill and kindness. She is very thorough and well organized. She and her associate had excellent advice about sale upgrade preparation such as inside and outside painting, electrical and plumbing improvements, inspections and interior staging. Lauren also had recommendations for reliable professionals for performing these tasks. We were unable to stay in our home for the sale period itself and she and her associate were the on-site project directors for some of these final tasks completion. We are completely satisfied with Lauren's performance and give her our unqualified recommendation for outstanding service. In our opinion you could not be in better hands.
Lauren is incredible. When I inherited a house that needed a ton of work before it could sell, she knew all the right people to call. From getting the house cleared out, to hiring an electrician and a roofer. And she has a working relationship with a great contractor. All her suggestions for how to improve the house were spot on. She really acted as a project manager and not just a realtor. I'm not in Santa Cruz County and I really relied on her to handle all the details. She did it all with grace and wisdom and was never pushy or overreaching. I never could have done all this without her. The house was staged beautifully, and the photos were perfect. It was truly a pleasure working with her and I highly recommend her!!
