We were fortunate to have met David Morrell through my Mother who knew him. When my Mother passed away unexpectedly we called David to help sell the house and property. We appreciated his professionalism, knowledge and cheerful attitude; and especially his constant communication and patience answering all of our many questions during the entire process of preparing and selling the property.
We can see why my Mother said that when the “time came” she wanted David to be the one to sell the house. It was a pleasure working with David and we would highly recommend him to others.

Charles and Martha Patterson, Sellers of 517 Gharkey Street, Santa Cruz

David and his entire team do a fantastic job. His knowledge about the local Santa Cruz real estate market is second to none and he has a massive network of local realtors and other professionals which you’ll need in either listing or buying a home. We chose to work with David after reviewing his positive reviews and transaction history online. In this area it’s very important to work with real estate professionals who know the local area as each home and neighborhood has its own characteristics. We were in a situation where we wanted to sell our existing home and buy another home in the area at the same time. David guided us through the entire process, and ultimately helped us get in to our next home. There were multiple offers on the home we wanted to buy and David guided us through the negotiation process over the span of several days in order to make sure we got the right property for our family. 
We’ll be working with David when it’s time to conduct our next real estate transaction in the Santa Cruz area.” – Buyers of 3063 Terrace Drive, Santa Cruz

David was a referral from my realtor in San Diego so I went with it…and GOOD THING I DID! David was the my life line to the transaction! I was an out of town seller and did most of the transaction by phone, email, and fax. David answered my calls and emails within minutes and is an excellent communicator. We had 2 other sellers in the transaction which he took many hours of patient time to call, meet and explain thing to. He is very well respected by other realtors in Santa Cruz and I can see why. He was so honest and respectful to everyone and made the entire transaction easy and understandable.

David is one of those rare professionals that balances top-notch abilities with a humble personality. He always made us feel like his only client. We had a rare and very specific set of requirements for our dream home and he had those in mind every time he suggested a property.
Once we found our dream home, he did a fantastic job of negotiating with the seller and walking us through the various concerns with city ordinances and the like. On one occasion he drove me down to the city to make sure all of my questions were answered. Yet another benefit that I would have never even thought about is his strong and loyal network of people in related industries in the area. From the home inspector to the escrow agent David brought in people of a very high caliber that pushed hard to make our dream a reality. – Buyers of 714 Lighthouse Avenue, Santa Cruz

I just can’t begin to tell you how pleased my wife and I are to have such a great Real Estate Agent such as David to represent us in the sale of our property. David is truly a professional, a credit to his profession with total integrity and loyalty to his clients. David went over and beyond what I have experienced in agents in the past; I was overwhelmed with his communication skills, his dedication to details and his knowledge of the real estate market. I have in the past bought and sold many properties and homes and ended up doing most of the agents work not to mention the lack of showing my properties. I think David should teach Real Estate School to instill the kind of technique, loyalties and integrity that agents should have. – Seller of 2350 Bean Creek Road, Scotts Valley

Mr. Morrell is a man of integrity, honesty, and sincerity. At every set of the way my wife and I were guided through the intricacies of buying a home with a gentle and extremely professional hand. Having this be our first home buying experience, Mr. Morrell’s knowledge proved invaluable as well as very comforting when any bump in the buying process occurred. He was always available to answer our calls and was extremely good at keeping us up-to-date with all the proceedings on the house purchase.
