Ultimately, Real Estate is a people business and pixels don’t sell homes, people do. Sellers have different, and sometimes conflicting, priorities: getting the highest possible price, a quick or a quiet sale, a tax deferral, coordinating a move or another purchase. Meanwhile, Buyers may be juggling the desire to buy with concerns about affordability, inspection findings, avoiding risk/surprises, investment interests, timing pressures, the admonitions of relatives, and more.
Sellers: Let’s leverage the super-power of Coldwell Banker’s global reach by making sure impressions of your property are gorgeous, enticing, timely, correct and targeted.
Buyers: It’s a common perception that Realtors sell Real Estate. But with professional and patient guidance, I find Buyers sell themselves on the right home or investment. What I DO sell is YOU (and your offer) to Sellers who have multiple offers to choose from. There are so many things we can finesse to increase your chances of winning.

With so much information at our fingertips, it’s easy to underestimate how important it is to have a human with local expertise and connections guide you through the complex sale or purchase process. Over the past 18 years I’ve worked through transactions small and large, distressed and prestigious, tricky and charmed – all right here in Santa Cruz County.
I've made friends and settled clients in almost every Santa Cruz neighborhood and built a network of experts we can call when we need them. I’ve also earned a reputation for professionalism and trustworthiness among my Colleagues. Sometimes a client’s success could depend on my ability to collaborate or get an inside scoop. I’ve found it helps to be nice!
The sales process is a complex collaboration that requires trust, focus, finesse, expertise and communication on the part of Sellers, Buyers and their Agents. What are you wishing? Let’s team up to make it happen!
I would highly recommend Katrin Tobin to anyone looking to purchase a home in Santa Cruz County. Our situation was complicated; 1) Our purchase was contingent on selling our current home 2) We had a very short time frame in which to sell and buy 3) Our requirements for the new home were "set in stone" 4) My wife and I each work 40+ hour a week Katrin is very …

Katrin managed the offer process efficiently and effectively for us, keeping us fully informed via email, messages and phone. We even signed the offer document on-line. I cannot compliment her enough for the professionalism, knowledge and clarity she displayed through our unusual process. Katrin is an extremely decent, warm and wonderful human being. She listens and …

I’ve heard some people say that, in Santa Cruz, it doesn’t matter who your agent is because houses here sell themselves. I almost believed this when you got us three above asking price offers after the first weekend. But when things got rough and two consecutive buyers dropped out of escrow I was so happy to have you there to see things through. We wouldn’t have …
-Greg S. , Client
Katrin carefully navigated a short-sale for us, adding the extra touch that allowed us to win our bid, and we couldn't have been happier. What we also appreciated about Katrin was her follow-up once we owned our new home. We cannot recommend Katrin highly enough. We have worked with her on two separate properties and every time she delivered exceptional results. Katrin …
-Natasha P. & Aaron H., Client
