Desantis Realty Group

To whom it may concern; We have had the unique experience of being represented by Mario both as a buyer and as a seller. Residing in our Monterey County home for almost 30 years, we were not actively looking to move. But the only constant in life is change. We casually talked about what we could do to our home to improve it even more. We even considered exploring areas outside of our comfort zone. Over the past several years we even attended dozens of local open houses throughout Santa Cruz County and the surrounding areas. One day a spectacular home in Day Valley presented itself. We went and realized this was going to be our new home. Mario is not a "yes man"; he is in fact a "can do" man. When considering likely the largest investment you will ever make, you want a professional; not an acquaintance with a realtor license. Mario is focused as a raptor and as transparent as a hillside stream. Consistent, but not rushing. Deliberate and invested as if it were his own decision. That's rare. Several months later, now living in our home, we are truly thankful to Mario for largely making our new home a reality. When you're selling your home, it's personal. But the bottom line is the location and neighborhood. Mario and his team assimilated a broad marketing campaign which showcased and trumpeted all of the features of our little slice of heaven. He went as far as connecting us with contractors and home stagers to make our home the best it possibly could be. He even coordinated inspections and appraisals. There were no surprises left to chance. His team held many open houses and welcomed several dozen groups to see our home in person. In the end we capitalized on buyers that fell in love with our home and will likely love it as is and make their own memories there. Mario's signature action has to be his consistent positive attitude; and open communication throughout the process. When someone loves what they do like Mario clearly does, the results speak for themselves. The McSweeney's

I found this house on Zillow and got connected with Mario. From the very beginning, he did his bestaEUR"he carefully checked every detail about the property and made sure everything was right. Mario is very attentive to customer rights and always makes sure you get the right place. He truly tries to help you win when making such an important purchase. He is professional, kind, and always thinks about your best interests throughout the entire process. I have spoken with many agents, but honestly, Mario is the only one who never pushed me to buy something. Instead, he guided me and supported me. He genuinely cares more about your happiness than his commission. I 100% recommend him to anyone looking to buy a property. I truly appreciate everything youve done for us, Mario. Thank you for everything!

Mario & his team are excellent to work with. They are professional, responsive, positive, kind, and helpful in every way before, during and after the sale.

Mario was introduced to us by a family friend, and from our very first meeting, we felt completely at ease. He took the time to truly understand our needs by asking thoughtful questions and having us create a clear checklist of must-haves and nice-to-haves for our future home. Mario then personally guided us through the neighborhoods we were interested in, taking the time to explain the pros and cons of each area. Throughout the entire home search, he was incredibly responsive and made sure we never felt alone in the process. As a family man himself, he thoughtfully included our kids and showed us family-friendly spots in the areas we were considering aEUR" something we truly appreciated. We met several realtors during our search, but Mario stood out in every way. Not only is he professional, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy, but he also genuinely cares about his clients. What started as a professional relationship quickly turned into a friendship. Mario is humble, smart, and works tirelessly until his clients find their dream home. We couldnt have asked for a better realtor. Thank you, Mario aEUR" youre truly the best!

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Mario DeSantis and would recommend him without hesitation. From our first conversation to closing day, he was patient, responsive, and genuinely focused on helping us find the right home. One thing that I really wanted to shout out is that Mario found us an off-market property we would have never have stumbled on by ourselves which ended up being a perfect fit and our eventual home purchase. It wasn't even publicly listed which just goes to show you the kind of experience and hustle he brings to the table. Speaking of hustle, he was also an excellent negotiator. He really went to bat for us, including working out concessions for some repairs the home will need down the road with many things we might not have thought to ask for ourselves. His communication was clear and consistent throughout, and he kept things productive between us and the sellers, which made the whole process feel a lot smoother. By the time we got the keys, we felt confident we'd made the right decision and were extremely excited about our new home. We can not recommend him enough!
