Santa Cruz County Real Estate - Beach Home Listings & Coastal Properties

CJ’s Success Speaks for Itself

About CJ de Heer

As his clients will attest, CJ’s status as a top selling agent for coastal properties is no surprise. Driven by his commitment to his clients’ success, CJ continually seeks out innovative ways to provide better and better service.

“I attribute a lot of my success to working with only a few clients at a time. When I can devote my full attention, my clients are more successful.”

Many of CJ’s clients look to him for his expertise in coastal properties.

“The coastal market in Santa Cruz County is unique. There are many micro-neighborhoods, each with its own distinct personality and features. By focusing my market knowledge on these areas, I provide my clients more value than a generalist. For example, I publish a weekly list of new and reduced-price oceanfront listings and the county's only coastal market statisticsno other agent offers this information.”

Working with Coldwell Banker, Santa Cruz County’s most respected and successful brokerage, CJ has access to state-of-the-art resources, legal training, and property-marketing tools to give his clients a competitive edge.

To better serve his clients selling luxury properties, CJ has also earned the prestigious Previews Property Specialist designation, awarded only to a select group of agents who meet rigorous luxury-home sales performance requirements and who complete specialized training in marketing luxury properties.

In 1988, CJ completed degrees in Architecture and Japanese Studies at UC Berkeley. He currently lives in the oceanfront neighborhood of Seabright in Santa Cruz.
