What clients say

Buyers, sellers, and investors across Santa Cruz County — in their own words.

★★★★★

"Working with Lance felt like having a calm, strategic guide in a stressful process. He explained every option in plain English, stayed ahead of deadlines, and negotiated firmly without creating drama. What stood out most was the follow-through — nothing slipped, and I always knew what was happening and why."

— Karen E.
★★★★★

"Lance Hulsey is one of the best agents in the Santa Cruz area. He helped me sell my townhouse in Santa Cruz and purchase a new house in Felton — all during the crazy winter storms, on a contingency. He kept me calm and everything worked out great. His extensive knowledge of the mountains means you don't make a mistake up there."

— Karl Thomas
★★★★★

"Lance is truly a blessing. We lost our home in the Altadena fires and were in shock and devastation. Lance truly was a light in the dark for us — he helped us get the home even with other competitive buyers, connected us with an amazing lender and subcontractors, and was always available. A true professional with the utmost integrity."

— Leila F.
★★★★★

"I now see the tremendous benefits of hiring a team. No matter what obstacle was presented or what problem needed to be solved, one of them had the answer — and one or both were always available. They went above and beyond, and their service didn't stop at closing. Hire these two; they will not disappoint you!"

— Steve W., sold & bought in Santa Cruz County
★★★★★

"Lance took on the sale of my property at the most traumatic time in my life. He was tenacious, empathetic, genuinely caring and responsive. He went above and beyond and held my hand through the entire process. I felt like I had a family member helping me, rather than a realtor."

— Charlene L.
★★★★★

"If everyone were as customer-service oriented as Lance Hulsey, complaint departments would be eradicated. He will tell you what needs to be said even if it means killing a deal — if it's in your best interest. Don't waste your time with anyone else."

— Joe S.
★★★★★

"We interviewed 6 different agents. Lance and team won our business because they are so completely straightforward and so completely themselves. They delivered on every aspect of the process — even when the pandemic shut down the whole world, they sold our home with grace, intelligence, humor and perseverance. All achieved long distance."

— Caroline D.
★★★★★

"He worked tirelessly to find the perfect home for my son and new wife at a very fair price. It was obvious from the start that Lance is a man of integrity — homes with flaws were eliminated at the outset, and we never felt pressured to buy. Brokers of his caliber are few and far between."

— Bonnie R.
★★★★★

"Lance and his team made purchasing our investment property unbelievably easy — right through to their kind gesture of having the home professionally cleaned before our tenants moved in. His price-research and negotiation skills are stellar."

— Barbara M.
★★★★★

"Being new to the area, we chose Lance for his deep and thorough knowledge of both Santa Cruz and the home buying process. He was always available, often responding within the hour. His honesty and transparency made it easy to trust him. His positive attitude made the entire process fun and stress-less."

— Katie C., first-time buyer
★★★★★

"They advised us on every property we viewed — the integrity of a mountainside, foundation, plumbing, water, and septic. We looked at a lot of homes and not once did I feel them getting impatient. A big thank you!

— Julie S., bought a mountain retreat
★★★★★

"Owning a home near the ocean has been a lifelong goal, and I got in my own way more times than I can count. Lance never made me feel bad about that — he was just there, ready, every time I came back. I'm now the proud owner of my beachy little dream home in Aptos, and I'm already working with Lance again."

— Tam T., bought in Aptos
