Coldwell Banker

jerry logan is our real estate agent. He has complete and total knowledge of the market. Jerry has had open houses every weekend and touches base with us at least every other day. When leaving our house after the open house we receive a phone call giving us an update. In my opinion you can’t get any better then this real estate agent. He is one of a kind.

Cara De Simone works out of this Coldwell Banker office and if you are in the market to buy or sell your home, she is the person you should call. Period.
When I started looking for my first home, I asked a friend who has been in the real estate world (although not as a realtor) for a recommendation. First she told me real estate nightmares about people who don’t know what they are doing. She pointed out that in a town where the average home is well over half a million dollars, a lot of people want to get in the real estate game because they think it is a get-​rich-​quick kind of job. Then she told me to call Cara.
I know, there are a lot of real estate agents in Santa Cruz and there’s a lot of people already knocking on your door saying, «Use me! Use me!» And I’m sure your cousin’s neighbor or your dentist’s wife is a really nice person, but honestly when it comes to the single biggest purchase (or sale) you will make in your lifetime, don’t you want to go with someone who is experienced and well-​respected? There are many potential pitfalls in any real estate transaction and you need someone who is going to be your strong advocate and who is an absolute professional.
One of the cool things about working with Cara is that when I would go to an Open House and the host would ask if I was working with a buyer’s agent, when I dropped Cara’s name their demeanor would totally change. «Oh…» they’d say, like you just drove up to a casino in a Ferrari. Her reputation preceeds her, and I think she was absolutely key in helping me get a screaming deal on a great property.
