We were fortunate to meet Genie Lawless and work with her to sell property in Santa Cruz. From the very beginning, it became obvious that she is very experienced in the field of real estate. She has a deep understanding of the psychology of the business and is a strategic planner with great attention to detail. Examples: her efficiency and the way she looks ahead to see any potential glitches and comes up with potential solutions in advance (just to mitigate the possibility of delays in progressing toward the goals). We found her to be relatable, reliable, easy to talk to and very accessible when we needed to reach her. Another striking characteristic is her great personality. We were lucky to find Genie. If we could give more than five stars on the rating, we would give 1000 …
Genie is the best! Her depth of knowledge and experience equipped her to expertly guide us through our condo sale, and she did it with such good humor and affability. Clear and timely communication is so important during the process and she was always responsive and quick to help. Her negotiation skills are superb. She went above and beyond in everything. We couldn't be happier!
Genie is an outstanding, professional, and personal agent. We own eight properties and have bought and sold others through our life. Genie was one of the best agents I've worked with; and we think of her when we discuss agents that we liked and became friends.

Genie Lawless is a wonderful real estate agent. She helped us get top dollar for our home. She has more than 20 years of real estate experience, and it shows. The transaction between our buyer and us went smoothly. She worked around our schedule for any showings or necessary inspections. She is always available to email, text or call. She actually makes the home buying and selling process fun.
Genie is an outstanding, caring, and responsive agent. You always feel supported and know that she is on your side. She dealt with the very difficult bank that the buyer was using in a helpful and professional way.
Genie's wealth of experience and good negotiating "chops" helped us better understand our selling options in dealing with a variety of buyers. Having her as our advocate gave us great peace of mind. She went to bat for us time and again, was very hard-working and a pleasure to work with. We also appreciated Katie, her associate, for her help and upbeat presence. David Lyng's marketing materials were very high-end, and their marketing outreach was extensive. Great experience!
Genie was our selling agent and we couldnt be happier. Genie is the total package, knowledgeable about ever aspect of the selling process. We did everything she suggested to prepare our home for sale. She has a great team of people to work with. She had the best strategy for marketing and the house showed it's best. And she is a great negotiator. We got the best price possible. All of the people she works with are top professionals. She has such a great attitude! She took the stress out of selling our home. We are so glad we trusted Genie with this most important transaction.
Genie is amazing! One thing that really stood out was how quick she was to answer emails, texts, and calls. She was always available and answered any and all questions I had through the process of buying my first home. I would recommend her and I will be using her again in the future.
