Aptos Real Estate Trends

With spring right around the corner and warmer weather on the horizon, we asked the Strock team about their favorite Santa Cruz County wineries.

Amazing to Work with a Truly Professional Team.” “I interviewed three different Real Estate firms before selecting Ben Strock and his team to represent my family as we set upon selling my Mom’s home in Aptos. I was sold by the fact the owner/broker and one of his top agents attended the interview, they didn’t need props or lists to cover everything in the presentation, and before even seeing the market evaluations for the home I had selected Ben and his team to list our home. It was amazing to work with a truly professional team who worked like a well-oiled machine and got us top dollar on the sale of our home. If you are selling or buying a home I would strongly advise allowing Ben and team to represent your interests as you will not be disappointed.”
