Great Prices NOW for Ocean Front Homes in La Selva Beach and Pajaro Dunes Santa Cruz CA

My clients get my first hand videos and pcitures of any home that they are interested in. I recently had some customers call me that wanted an ocean front home in Santa Cruz CA. They wanted a quiet peaceful setting away from the busy town and people. I immediately thought of La Selva Beach and Pajaro Dunes.

They only wanted to pay under one million dollars so I knew this was going to be quite a challenge. Then I noticed a home listed  for $649,000.  This is an amazing price there must be something wrong with the home. I set out to go investigate for my clients. I always take first hand pictures and videos to show my clients exactly what it feels like at the house and ocean. There was another ocean front home that was twice as bid listed for $1,595,000 and after talking to the realtor I realized that it was reduced to $1,300,000.  I also take pictures and videos of the homes around it that are also for sale so that my clients have all the facts and can compare. Here is the series of videos I took.
