After interviewing three very qualified Realtors®, we hired Cassie Maas to sell our home in the Santa Cruz mountains. We had owned the home for over forty years, and it had been completely rebuilt over time. This raised some complex questions about disclosures and their timing which Cassie helped us think through. With Cassie's help, we made extensive improvements to get the house ready for market. It was a very unique and beautiful home, and Cassie got some wonderful professional photos that really showed it off. She is also great at internet marketing. Cassie quickly scheduled three open houses. Some neighbors who weren't really actively looking for a house came to the first open house and loved it. They called Cassie the next day, told her they had been thinking about the house all day and asked to see it again. Cassie called us to ask how we felt about her representing both buyer and…

They called Cassie the next day, told her they had been thinking about the house all day and asked to see it again. Cassie called us to ask how we felt about her representing both buyer and seller. After discussing the pros and cons, we agreed to the dual representation. The buyer's made an all-cash offer very close to the asking price, and after a bit of negotiation was sold for 1,220,000 cash in less than two weeks on the market, leaving both the seller and the buyer very happy with the transaction.
Cassie represented my property for sale in Los Gatos CA in the latter part of 2014. The property had been marketed on and off for several years with different agents. I am a State resident, and although available by phone and email, not able to be there at any given moment. I found Cassie to be very knowledgeable and aggressive in her negotiating skills and ability to make things happen regardless of the obstacles. In the process of the sale, there were many hurdles. Cassie was always responsive to calls and made it much less difficult to cope with being far away and unable to address issues personally. Cassie even installed earthquake strapping on water heaters and smoke detectors to be sure we made deadlines. I can honestly and comfortably say that in my years of experience, and with a multitude of Realtors®, Cassie is one that you can be confident with and trust you will be accurately…

I highly recommend Cassie Maas as a real estate agent. She recently handled the sale of our home in the Santa Cruz mountains and did an excellent job. She knows the area and the differences with mountain homes (septic tanks, wells, etc). She also is very experienced and knows the ins and outs of a real estate transaction. I felt that I was in excellent hands with Cassie. She was very responsive and always seemed to have the answers to my questions at her fingertips. She was also a great negotiator and got us a good price for our home (a little above the asking price) and made the overall transaction run smoothly. We closed on schedule with no problems. She is a true professional and also has a calm personality that is helpful during the stress of selling (or buying) your home and moving. Great job! Thanks again, Cassie.
A mortgage broker I know recommended Cassie and I have already recommended her to a friend in a similar situation of needing to sell the home of a deceased parent. I found her extremely helpful in guiding us through the steps to preparing the house for sale; her contacts for staging, landscaping, and cleaning were all top-notch. Although we lived outside the area, she always arranged her schedule to allow for face-to-face meetings when we were in town. She had a great strategy for marketing the house, utilizing both the traditional MLS and various social media outlets. Once we had an offer exceeding the asking price, she continued to negotiate on our behalf to ensure escrow would close satisfactorily. I can recommend her without reservation and would not hesitate to list with her again.
