Real Estate Agent
Walter is an excellent realtor. He represented us as the buying agent for both our previous house, and our current house; we liked him so much from the first experience, that we went back to him once we were looking to move from the first house to a larger place as our needs grew. He was very patient with us during a protracted home search for the first place, where we didn't really know for sure what we wanted, and he helped us refine our search. He has extensive knowledge of the area, and experience with the market. He really listened to us, and when we would provide feedback after seeing a place, he would use that information to develop a running set of criteria to help hone in on the right place. Even after he found the perfect place for us, he continued to be invaluable during the offer, disclosures, inspection, lending, title, escrow, and walk-through process. In addition to a vast repertoire of knowledge, he also has extensive contacts with professionals that can help during the process. I can very highly recommend him to anyone searching for the perfect home in the area.

We were lucky to connect with Walter, who did a fantastic job for us. His calm polite demeanor helped us in dealing with a difficult seller, who was also the selling realtor. We looked at houses all over the Santa Cruz Mountain area for about 6 months, came close on a couple, and then finally nailed one that is perfect for us. Walter was there for us every step of the way with great suggestions, always willing to meet and show, he has great knowledge of the area, the market, and the home types. He was good a advising us on homes that he thought might have problems, and bringing to homes that fit our needs and desires. He has great communication skills, he was always available to text, chat, talk about possibilities. We high recommend him.

Walter helped me with a 1031 exchange so I know him as both a buyers and a sellers agent. In both roles he was amazing! He not only understands the local market, but also is well-connected with a network of professionals (inspections, repairs, staging, financing, insurance, etc.) However, most importantly, he is honest and straightforward, thoughtful, reliable, and dedicated to meeting his clients goals. I am extremely grateful for Walters dedication and support and recommend him highly!

He was always very courteous, helpful, efficient and friendly in all of our dealings with him. We were very happy with the timeliness and results of our sale. Things went much faster than we could have hoped, with a price as good as we could have hoped for.

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.

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 chose to work with Walter because we appreciated his professional yet approachable personality. He was upfront, honest, 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.
