“Walter lead us through searching for and buying the perfect house for our family.”
He knows the Santa Cruz area like only a native son could. He jumped through hoops for us, got us connected with the right mortgage broker for our complex needs, and has stayed in touch as the month have passes to check in on our upgrades. Kudos to Walter.
“Walter was terrific as a buyer's agent!”
I'm sure it's no surprise that the Santa Cruz housing market is very difficult for buyers but Walter found a great home, that fit many of my key criteria, before it even hit the MLS. This gave me a huge advantage in finding my dream home for a surprisingly reasonable price. Walter also is very familiar with the area and gave me some great advice on areas to focus on. My home search took just over a month, much faster than I'd hoped.
“I highly recommend Walter Stauss for anyone looking for a real estate agent.”
Walter was so dedicated and available that I felt like his only client, although I wasn't by a long shot. As I began searching, it was clear he has an exceptional reputation in the community among fellow realtors. Numerous agents who asked me if I needed their services told me I was in good hands when they learned Walter was my agent. His reputation helped when I finally bought my home. I got into a competitive bid on a townhouse and Walter's expertise, advice, and incredible responsiveness enabled me to secure the home. I could call and text Walter anytime with any question and know I would hear back from him quickly and with thoughtful and helpful answers. He was with me every step of the way and his expertise helped me navigate some rocky waters safely. Walter is an organized, caring, and incredibly competent and talented real estate agent. And on top of all that, he's a very nice guy.
“We appreciated his professional yet approachable personality.”
We chose to work with Walter because we appreciated his professional yet approachable personality. He was upfront, honest, and genuine, and he offered professional opinions while listening to our requests. We were quite specific in the type of contract we were looking for and we could not have been happier with the contract that Walter negotiated for us --- and it happened within the first week our house was on the market.
