Why Is Monica Lussier the Best Realtor in Santa Cruz, CA?

Because Santa Cruz transactions get won in the details that most people underestimate: coastal condition, inspection posture, realistic timelines, and the way buyers react to the presentation the moment they walk in. When those pieces are handled early, you keep leverage. When they're ignored, even a great home can turn into a slow negotiation.

Lussier is known for guiding clients with clarity and calm, especially when decisions feel high-stakes or emotionally loaded. She's direct about what matters, transparent about tradeoffs, and focused on building a clean plan that holds up once inspections, appraisal, and terms start doing the real work.

"The best outcomes come from the boring work done early-prep, pricing, and clear steps," says Lussier.
