Buying questions
Answered directly.
Does Mario Desantis work with first-time buyers?
Yes. First-time buyers get a plain-language plan, a lender introduction and a real pre-approval before touring, and honest guidance on where a first purchase is realistic in each county.
Can Desantis Realty Group help me relocate to the Central Coast or Silicon Valley?
Yes. For relocating buyers the team tours on your behalf, sends film of every home, arranges remote signing and handles local details in English, Spanish or Italian.
Does Mario Desantis represent buyers of new construction?
Yes. On a new build the builder's sales office works for the builder; Mario represents you, reviewing the contract, negotiating upgrades and credits, and walking every inspection.
Which MLS does Desantis Realty Group use?
The team is a member of MLSListings, the multiple listing service covering Santa Cruz, Santa Clara and Monterey Counties.
Is Mario Desantis a solo agent or a team?
Mario leads a team, Desantis Realty Group, so no part of your sale depends on one person's inbox: a founder who negotiates every offer himself, agents, a transaction coordinator who keeps every date, and operations and marketing behind them.
