About Cassie

A second-generation Realtor® who knows these homes firsthand.

I help Los Gatos and Los Gatos Mountains owners sell homes that need more than a sign in the yard. I have been a Realtor® since 2006, and I come from a real estate family as a second-generation Realtor®.

I know these homes because I have lived in them: on Massol Avenue in downtown Los Gatos, and in unincorporated Los Gatos on both the Santa Clara County and Santa Cruz County sides of the mountains. I know what buyers of an older downtown home will ask, and how septic, well, road and fire insurance questions change from one side of Summit Road to the other.

Much of my work involves long-held homes, trust and estate sales, and properties with character that need careful preparation. I am the Realtor® on every listing, from the first walk-through to closing, supported by a trusted team of stagers, vendors, title and escrow professionals.

For Sellers

Selling a home that needs more than a sign in the yard.

Long-held homes, trust and estate sales, and properties with character deserve a careful plan. Here's how we'll approach yours.

  1. 01

    Preparation

    We walk the home together and decide what is worth doing before market — and what isn't. I coordinate trusted stagers, cleaners, landscapers and vendors, and help you think through disclosures and their timing early.

  2. 02

    Pricing

    Pricing starts with recent comparable sales and the questions buyers will actually ask: wells, septic, road agreements, fire insurance, and which county's rules apply to your parcel.

  3. 03

    Marketing

    Professional photography and thoughtful descriptions, on the MLS and across online and social channels, with open houses scheduled to give buyers a real feel for the property.

  4. 04

    Negotiation

    I am the Realtor® on every listing, from first walk-through to closing. I review every offer with you, negotiate the terms, and keep escrow moving with clear timelines and fast communication.

Los Gatos

Many Los Gatos owners have been in their homes for decades. Selling one can involve a trust, family to coordinate, and repairs to weigh. Having lived on Massol Avenue, I know what buyers of an older downtown home will ask.

Santa Cruz Mountains

Mountain homes sell differently. 95033 crosses the county line, and septic, well and permit records are handled differently on each side of Summit Road. I've lived on both sides and help owners find the questions before buyers do.

Testimonials

In clients' own words

“I highly recommend Cassie Maas as a real estate agent. She recently handled the sale of our home in the Santa Cruz mountains and did an excellent job. She knows the area and the differences with mountain homes (septic tanks, wells, etc). She also is very experienced and knows the ins and outs of a real estate transaction. I felt that I was in excellent hands with Cassie. She was very responsive and always seemed to have the answers to my questions at her fingertips. She was also a great negotiator and got us a good price for our home (a little above the asking price) and made the overall transaction run smoothly. We closed on schedule with no problems. She is a true professional and also has a calm personality that is helpful during the stress of selling (or buying) your home and moving. Great job! Thanks again, Cassie.”

“A mortgage broker I know recommended Cassie and I have already recommended her to a friend in a similar situation of needing to sell the home of a deceased parent. I found her extremely helpful in guiding us through the steps to preparing the house for sale; her contacts for staging, landscaping, and cleaning were all top-notch. Although we lived outside the area, she always arranged her schedule to allow for face-to-face meetings when we were in town. She had a great strategy for marketing the house, utilizing both the traditional MLS and various social media outlets. Once we had an offer exceeding the asking price, she continued to negotiate on our behalf to ensure escrow would close satisfactorily. I can recommend her without reservation and would not hesitate to list with her again.”

“Cassie represented my property for sale in Los Gatos CA in the latter part of 2014. The property had been marketed on and off for several years with different agents. I am a State resident, and although available by phone and email, not able to be there at any given moment. I found Cassie to be very knowledgeable and aggressive in her negotiating skills and ability to make things happen regardless of the obstacles. In the process of the sale, there were many hurdles. Cassie was always responsive to calls and made it much less difficult to cope with being far away and unable to address issues personally. Cassie even installed earthquake strapping on water heaters and smoke detectors to be sure we made deadlines. I can honestly and comfortably say that in my years of experience, and with a multitude of Realtors®, Cassie is one that you can be confident with and trust you will be accurately and respectfully represented.”
— Ed · Sold in Los Gatos
“After interviewing three very qualified Realtors®, we hired Cassie Maas to sell our home in the Santa Cruz mountains. We had owned the home for over forty years, and it had been completely rebuilt over time. This raised some complex questions about disclosures and their timing which Cassie helped us think through. With Cassie's help, we made extensive improvements to get the house ready for market. It was a very unique and beautiful home, and Cassie got some wonderful professional photos that really showed it off. She is also great at internet marketing. Cassie quickly scheduled three open houses. Some neighbors who weren't really actively looking for a house came to the first open house and loved it. They called Cassie the next day, told her they had been thinking about the house all day and asked to see it again. Cassie called us to ask how we felt about her representing both buyer and seller. After discussing the pros and cons, we agreed to the dual representation. The buyer's made an all-cash offer very close to the asking price, and after a bit of negotiation was sold for 1,220,000 cash in less than two weeks on the market, leaving both the seller and the buyer very happy with the transaction.”
— Jerry · Sold in the Santa Cruz Mountains
“Cassie did a fabulous job finding a home that met all my requirements for the size and condition of the home, the area, and the cost. It turned out to be a short sale property and I found her to be an expert with this type of property. She guided me through the process, helping with the offer, and coordinating the other agent, the home owner and the banks involved with the short sale. She was also very pleasant to work with and I look forward to doing other real estate transactions with her.”
