Pete's satisfied customers

“Pete is a great realtor…he was able to get us into our first house with a very smooth transaction. Fast forward to now. We just bought our third house with him. He has sold two houses for us. Both houses we sold were on the market for less than a week. Pete is very personable, he's honest, well connected in the community, extremely knowledgeable, and he used to be a contractor which is a plus.

We have developed a good friendship over the years, he makes it a point to keep in touch and often drops goodies by. If you are looking for a realtor Pete will definitely be a great choice. I wish him the best!”

“Pete was an absolute professional and a great person to work with as our agent. He helped us sell our home and buy a new home. He responded to all of our emails, text, and emails in a timely and helpful manner. He helped us understand the landscape of buying a home. He set up appointments with a variety of professionals to help us with getting our home ready to sell. For us as people who didn't have a lot of experience in the buying and selling of homes it was great to work with Pete. He guided us 100% of the way. And he's just a very nice guy - nearly every professional we met along the way at open houses or to help us fix things knew Pete and confirmed his excellent reputation in Santa Cruz County.”

“Working with Pete was an absolute pleasure. He was recommended to us by a trusted source and he came to the office late one evening to chat about the home buying process and what we were looking for. He walked us through all the paperwork and we left feeling positive about the experience moving forward. We were really looking for a few months and each time I found a home, Pete did everything in his power to get us in there to see it. Even off hours and weekends. When we finally found "the one", Pete wrote us an amazing offer and provided advice on securing the home. We did and he was on top of everything every day.There was no pressure and he was so friendly and always available - given his busy lifestyle. I would highly recommend Pete. He even worked seamlessly with our broker who lived 3 hours away. Win win!”

“Pete recently helped sell my home in Santa Cruz. Early in the process, he gave me advice on repairs I should do with a singular focus on having a positive ROI from the sale. Once these repairs were complete Pete explained the current state of the market to me, and laid out a strategy to make sure that the home sold quickly at a price that was appropriate for the home and the location. Petes strategy worked like a charm, with the house selling quickly with multiple offers over taking. I couldn’t be happier with the way this sale worked out, all thanks to Pete!”

“Pete is helpful, honest, and hard working. He assisted me when I was faced with selling my father’s run down property. Pete was flexible while also taking charge of a very overwhelming task. He made all the arrangements for the many repairs, checked on the house numerous times, and looked out for my best interests throughout the process. His guidance and expertise lead to a positive outcome for all involved. I highly recommend his services!”

We would use Pete again in a heartbeat for any real estate transaction in the Santa Cruz area.”

“Pete and his associate Tarah helped us with the purchase of our home. I cannot imagine a realtor that is more professional, responsive, and trustworthy. Pete and Tarah were incredibly patient and accommodating with us. When we found the property we wanted, Pete went out of his way to resolve some issues that arose along the way, making the purchase possible for us. He is great at follow-up and at providing timely information, we never once were left wondering about the status of our offer, paperwork, or work to be done. If you need a mover, handyman, HVAC professional, locksmith, gardener, etc., Pete can recommend a local business that he has worked with that would do a great job and be reasonably priced. Thank you Pete and Tarah for what you do, you really made a stressful process a lot more manageable and enjoyable.”

“Pete was awesome to work with. His experience as a contractor and knowledge of the home buying process was extremely valuable. He is a great communicator and sincerely wants to see his clients in a home that fits their needs. He knows just about everyone in this town which goes a long ways when trying to secure your home.”

“I am a realtor in Palo Alto and was asked to list a home in Boulder Creek. Since Boulder Creek is outside of my typical selling area I decided to co-list the home with Pete. Pete was amazing!! He managed all the home prep, connected the seller with excellent/affordable vendors, and knew all the local laws and customs. This allowed me to manage a very nervous seller and together we sold the home at a price that well exceeded the sellers expectations. Pete is an amazing agent and is my go-to realtor for any needs in Scott's Valley or Santa Cruz!!!”

- Carol Yaffa Borison

“Pete Cullen is a consummate professional. His background in construction and development helps set him apart from other realtors due to the mere fact he can see things the rest of us cannot. Pete is also skilled in the art of negotiation and has the experience to manage and conquer obstacles quickly. I highly recommend Pete for all your real estate needs in the Santa Cruz area.”
