I highly recommend Rose. Rose is an impressively straightforward, patient, knowledgeable and responsive buying agent. She made the home search and buying process both enjoyable and satisfying. She took extra time to tour neighborhoods with me so I could envision living there. She worked hard to find the right home for me. I greatly appreciated her honesty and advocacy.

Rose was an invaluable resource as our family navigated buying a new home. She is honest and professional and has an ability to 'peek around corners' for items that might impede the process. She is calm and thoughtful and had a ton of insight into our specific location. When she didn't know something she reached out to her wider network and was always able to find an answer. We were lucky to get matched up with Rose, she is warm, friendly and we recommend her wholeheartedly!

I hired Rose Wood Aug 2019. I just purchased a home closing June 2020. I have been working with Rose now for months and it is difficult to put into words how satisfied I am with Rose as my realtor. Not only did she prepare for every meeting we had so that my time was valued, but we were very productive each block of showings. Rose really listened and paid attention to my wish list, thoughtfully and throughly. Rose took her job seriously and knowledgably told me the pros, cons, possible risks as well as ideas about how to improve a property. Rose took care to do her research so that I felt she had my back. Her preparation included weeding out properties that she would not consider buying herself. As Rose worked with me she was able to show me properties closer to what I was looking for, saving me so much time and energy. I trust Rose implicitly. Whether it is about the contract, the home inspection or referrals for reputable craftsmen, Rose's caring and competence shines thru. She asked the right questions and planned the necessary due diligence in a timely manner, making the buying experience so much less stressful than I expected. I could go on and on singing Rose's praises. I am a 62 year old woman who is involved in real estate and has bought 5 homes before this. I have never felt more confident and have never had such a stress free experience as with working with Rose. Finally, I am not the type to write reviews-I just feel so strongly about Rose's knowledge and professionalism that I can't recommend her enough.

We worked briefly with Rose while looking for a vacation home around Aptos. Rose was very flexible, shared her unique knowledge about the area and was very responsive. Her attention to detail was outstanding in pointing out aspects of homes we looked at that we wouldn't have found otherwise. We highly recommend working with Rose.

My husband and I took many months to find just the right house so I can say from a long-term perspective that Rose was always 100% calm, patient, kind and yet also gently persistent. She was extremely flexible with us, but also 100% conscientious. We finally found (and just bought) the house meeting all of our high and somewhat contradictory expectations, and she did an excellent job leading us through a tough multiple-offer negotiation. We felt incredibly supported by Rose every step of the way. Thank you, Rose!

Rose was on point with every criteria we set as important to have in our new home. She never wasted our time showing us homes that did not meet all of our wants. Her knowledge of the market/availability as well as what could be coming in the future was exceptional. She was always readily available and met with us often. Once we found our perfect home, she was a strong negotiator on our behalf. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother, pain free process. Rose and her agency are top notch and we highly recommend her.

What can I say about Rose Wood? Yes- she’s a great agent, but so much more. She made my home purchase fun, seamless, easy and efficient. She took care to understand the house and the property- it’s history, the boundaries, easements, and potential issues. She was honest and forthright. She worked tirelessly and answered all my questions (even the silly ones). I felt well-cared for from beginning to end. Thank you Rose!

Rose is amazing. Super professional, very caring, and just a great person to work with. She was very understanding of my situation and hopes/dreams, and executed everything quick and efficiently to make sure it all came together! Rose and Gina made a great team. Timely with paperwork, would text to make sure I saw emails to sign documents, and relayed all my Q&As to appropriate parties. absolutely would work with Rose again. 100% stoked on my new place!

She asked a few questions, paid attention during our meetings, and found exactly the house we wanted. We never thought we would be able to get everything in a house that was on our list.

We worked with Rose on the purchase of our second home on the Santa Cruz coast. We interviewed quite a few agents from different agencies and we wanted to work with someone who had the knowledge and experience in the area, and that would help us in a tough and competitive real estate market. Rose was exceptional and without her we wouldn’t have been able to close a very complex deal with lender delays and a ambivalent seller. Rose is not only pleasant to work with, she has a strong understanding of process, nuts and bolts, and what it takes to get a deal done. Her knowledge of the area is unparalleled and she truly takes the time to get to know her clients needs. She follows through on everything and was able to advise and support us throughout all the twists and turns of our transaction. She is thoughtful and kind as well and we are happy to have gotten to know her through this process. Can't recommend her enough.

I can not say enough good things about Rose. From the very beginning, she was involved, knowledgeable and responsive. We felt cared for and enjoyed working with her. Highly recommend she and her team.

Rose is the best, most thorough, professional, and absolutely fantastic to work with! The Strock team was a great experience to work with as well. The process went smoothly. Rose and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. We can’t speak highly enough of Rose as our Realtor. Her knowledge, honesty, integrity, and hard work ethic were very much appreciated and respected. Her commitment is reflected in her attention to detail. She is very knowledgeable about the whole process and provides great resources. She was easily accessible and communicates clearly. Most importantly, Rose really cares about her clients and their needs when it comes to helping them find a home. We highly recommend Rose to anyone looking for a home. Anyone who works with Rose is lucky to have her on their side.

Rose is outstanding and no one knows Santa Cruz County better! We were moving from the east coast to Aptos, and Rose listened carefully to what we were looking for but also helped us understand the market and guide us in possibilities that we hadn't considered. She worked hard to find us the perfect house at a time when inventory was very low, and she found us a wonderful house that was not yet on the market. She continues to be extremely helpful "post-sale" with recommendations for service people for all that we need. She is responsive and engaging, and just a pleasure to work with.

We loved working with Rose! She made the entire process so easy and as first time home buyers, we had LOTS of questions. Everything went so smoothly from initial offer to close of escrow. We highly recommend Rose Wood for any real estate purchase!

We worked with Rose Wood on the recent purchase of our home in the lower westside neighborhood of Santa Cruz. For those of you in the Santa Cruz housing market, you know that supply is limited and much patience is required. She stuck with us for 1.5 years of house hunting, multiple offers, and much learning as new home buyers. Throughout it all, Rose treated us with the utmost care, patience, and support. She was trustworthy, transparent, thoughtful, highly skilled, deeply knowledgable, and the perfect fit for us. We always felt that Rose had our best interests at heart and was an amazing advocate and teammate throughout. As first time home buyers, Rose would answer every question we had, no matter how big or small. She is incredibly good with people and also incredibly smart and gifted at her job. If we ever texted Rose with a question, she'd promptly respond with a phone call to make sure the question was answered and that we understood all the angles. If we wanted to see a house, she'd show up in-person to walk through it with us and in the rare event she was unavailable, she'd make sure we were very well cared for. Every listing agent we met would ask, "who's your realtor?" and when we'd say we work with Rose, they'd all look impressed and say, "oh, Rose is the best!" I'm embarrassed to admit, but we actually felt an undeserved pride just in our association with Rose, like we had won the realtor lottery. We know Rose has other clients, many of which were probably "bigger fish" than us, and yet, Rose always made us feel like we were the most important ones to her. When we finally found the right home, Rose deftly navigated the behind the scenes conversations inherent to hot homes with multiple offers and got us across the finish line in first place. After we closed, the listing agent even wrote us to say, and we quote, "Hats off to your realtor. Rose is top-notch, you picked a good one." We could go on and on about Rose, but suffice to say that we loved working with her, and would rate her 11 out of 10 if that was possible. We could not have hoped for a better experience with a realtor and if we ever are in the market again, Rose will be our first call.
