You *Otter* Be Excited About this Weekend
Two festivals in one month – Capitola is on fire! We’re especially looking forward to the Capitola Beach Festival this weekend because our squad will be out there representing Strock Real Estate. We’ll be enjoying the live music between 4-6pm – stop by and say hi! Other than seeing us (which is reason enough to come) you’ll want to see the amazing sandcastles, lighted boat parade, and chalk art. Watercolor by Sally Bookman

This year, Scotts Valley’s FREE music event will be held at Siltanen Park rather than Skypark, due to repairs. Come out on Sunday to enjoy live bands and to support local school music programs.

Joing the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History for Sea Otter Awareness Week at Lighthouse Point! They will have spotting scopes so you can get a closer look at these furry friends.

Set on two beautiful acres, this private custom estate hordes a piece of the gorgeous hills all for itself. With four bedrooms, three full baths, an office, an outdoor kitchen, AND a secret game room (with a trapdoor!), there’s plenty of space for the fam to enjoy. For quiet time, you’ll love the sunny windowseat in the living room, the outdoor fireplace, the cozy breakfast nook, and the soaker tub in the master bath.


If the three most important rules in real estate (location, location, location) read “beach, beach, beach” for you, then this is your dream home! From your large deck to the secret beach path around the corner, you’ll be getting plenty of vitamin sea at this sunset stunner. Not only are you walking distance to one of the best beaches in Santa Cruz – you’re also around the corner from Marianne’s Ice Cream. You probably don’t need any more reason than that.


At this beautiful custom home in Day Valley, you can expect timeless architecture married with modern elements, classic lines with unexpected curves. It’s designed by local architects Marty and John Fiorovich of the Fiorovich Group, and the custom finishes show the attention to detail. Beyond the elegant layout, 3 large bedrooms means there is room for the whole family, & the convenient location gives you easy access to everyone’s activities. You’ll love this elegant home for its form; you’ll want to stay for its function.
Thank you for your kind words. We loved working with you!
“Strock realty dominated the whole process. On point, responsive and top quality in every facet. LJ was incredible and we could reach him at any time. The sale of our house was beyond our imagination of how great a process this was. There’s no way there’s any realtors around who could exceed Strock realty and super agent LJ Gagnier. Not only will I ONLY use them in any future real estate transaction, I will aggressively recommend. Strock realty and LJ Gagnier to any prospective buyer or seller.”
