"We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Bailey! She stuck with us for YEARS as we searched for our first home, and we genuinely could not have asked for a better realtor or person to go through this experience with!
We were not the easiest b… uyers in the sense that we would get excited about house hunting, get discouraged after being outbid, and then take long breaks before deciding we were ready to try again. But every single time we were ready to jump back in, Bailey was right there, just as enthusiastic, supportive, and patient as ever. She never pressured us, never made us feel like we were wasting her time, and always made us feel like finding the right home was worth waiting for.
One of the things we appreciated most about Bailey was her honesty. Anyone who has tried to buy a home in Santa Cruz County knows how discouraging and downright desperate the process can feel. There were so many times when my husband and I would walk into a house and start convincing ourselves that we could compromise on certain things just to finally get into a home. Bailey was never afraid to put her foot down and tell us, “No, you’re not going to be happy with this,” or “This could turn into a money pit.” She has an incredible eye for things we would have completely overlooked, and we NEEDED that brutal honesty! She wasn’t just trying to sell us a house. She genuinely cared about making sure we ended up in the RIGHT house. That honesty was one of the most valuable things she brought to the entire experience.
And thank goodness we listened, because patience really did pay off! Bailey ultimately worked her magic and found us an OFF-MARKET deal on what is quite literally our dream home! We still can’t believe this is our house, and we know it wouldn’t have happened without her. After years of searching, getting outbid, and wondering if we’d ever find the right place, we ended up with a home that we absolutely love without having to make all those compromises we once thought were necessary.
Throughout the entire process, Bailey went above and beyond. She has incredible connections throughout the area and helped us navigate everything from inspections to finding the right people to answer our many, MANY questions. She was always available, even when she was on vacation, and somehow managed to answer all of our random (and sometimes ridiculous) questions at just about any hour of the day. As first-time homebuyers, having someone so knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in us made all the difference.
But beyond being an incredible realtor, Bailey is just an all-around wonderful human being. We genuinely looked forward to every house showing because we knew we’d get to hang out with her! She made what could have been an incredibly stressful and frustrating process fun, and now that we’ve finally found our home, we actually miss our house-hunting adventures together!
We are so incredibly happy in our new home and so thankful that Bailey was part of this journey with us. If there’s one thing we learned, it’s that buying a home in Santa Cruz County takes patience, but having a fantastic realtor who is willing to be real with you, tell you what you need to hear (even when it’s not what you want to hear!), and truly advocate for your best interests makes ALL the difference.
If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, connected, patient, hardworking, refreshingly honest, and genuinely a joy to be around, Bailey is your person. We cannot recommend her enough! ❤️"
