Schooner Realty

Celeste Faraola Perie at Schooner Realty came highly recommended to me by a close friend. In addition to Celeste’s in-​depth knowledge of the of the Santa Cruz market, she referred me to a local mortgage broker and helped me negotiate a substantial savings on my contracted price! I knew what I wanted and she helped me find it fast and have fun in the process!

When you get ready to search for your beach house in Santa Cruz, I highly recommend using Schooner Realty. Celeste at Schooner Realty was born and raised in Santa Cruz and can make the buying experience seemless and fun.

My husband and I decided to buy a house when the interest rates were really low earlier this year. We met Celeste at the first open house we visited (she was the listing agent) and from that moment on she helped us find our perfect house! It was a tough job because the inventory was low and there were a lot of people looking to buy due to low interest rates. We visited A LOT of houses and in the end, we found the right house. She helped us find the right offer number and negotiate the final price and then helped us navigate the escrow process. She worked with our loan officer to get us where we needed to be and met every deadline we had! I have only great things to say about her!!! To top if off, she has the best contacts for contractors (building, plumbing, inspections, etc) and got us connected to everthing we needed!

Celeste Faraola @ Schooner Realty has done a fantastic job managing my rental property in Santa Cruz. I did it myself for a few years and then decided to give Schooner a shot. I am SO glad I did! The last 4 years have been trouble free, my rental income increased, and I have had 2 (yes two) days of non-​rental in the past 4 years. It is great to work w/​a company that is both small enough to give you that personal touch, and good enough to get the job done well. When/​if I decide to sell I will use them for that also. Thanks Schooner!
