I recently worked with Gary Gangnes and the Real Options Realty crew to sell a high-end condominium in downtown Santa Cruz. While it was a "seller's market" during the time my place was being sold, the market for condos was softer, and there were a number of factors complicating this particular sale. Throughout the process I found Gary to be an excellent representative of my interests in the transaction, and resource of knowledge and advice on the decisions and work I was responsible for.

Gary was an effective and agreessive negotiator, while still being able to keep the discussions on a higher, "win-win" level. His personal integrity, professionalism, and depth of experience raised the level of the dialog for all participants in the transation without compromising my interests at any time.

Gary brought integrity and professionalism to a complicated and potentially contentious transation. I would strongly recommend Gary and Real Options Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Santa Cruz area.
