Testimonials | Genie Lawless

Fabulous work Genie! ✨
“Genie was incredibly professional and helpful in guiding us through the sales and marketing process. She provided wise counsel in updating the property and staging and ultimately we secured a sales price 13% over asking and sold the property after ten days on the market with a ten day close.” -Charles C.
Testimonials | Dan McDonnal

Great work Dan!
“Dan did a great job in finding us a home in a very competitive market. He was dedicated to our future home needs and negotiated with the seller and selling agent to get our offer accepted over many competing buyers, including some with all cash offers. We highly recommend Dan and would use him again in a heart beat.”- Jessica M.
Agent Spotlight | Julie Hansmann

This Agent Spotlight goes to Julie Hansmann, one of our David Lyng Top Producers! Julie has a wealth of knowledge and years of experience in real estate. She has had a busy year, working hard to help all of her clients sell and buy their dream homes! We love having Julie here at David Lyng!
Here are some facts about Julie:
I grew up in San Diego riding and showing Western Quarter horses. I learned about hard work, discipline, and persistence from this competitive sport.
I met my husband Steve Hansmann in 1977 and moved to Santa Cruz and have been in the “home business” ever since. I went to San Jose State and obtained my degree in Business with a minor in Real Estate. I obtained my Real Estate License at age 20 and began selling real estate.
Steve, is a general contractor and he and I built our first spec home at age 21, and we have built or remodeled 11 homes together over our 42 years of marriage.
I addition to residential sales, I was also in commercial real estate and was mentored by J.R. Parrish himself.
I took some time off from sales to raise my 3 beautiful children, John, Jacqueline, and David. During that time, I assisted Steve with Hansmann Construction, as his bookkeeper, marketer, and overall right-hand gal.
I re-entered real estate sales 6 years ago and I am pleased to be associated with the very professional and high caliber company David Lyng.
I enjoy helping sellers fix their homes up for sale and giving them my color, improvement, and landscaping advice. I also enjoy helping buyers with their “major life decisions”, whether it is first-time home buyers, an investor making an investment, or clients that are retiring and downsizing.
When not working, which I am a lot, I love to seasonally decorate, cook and entertain friends. I relax on the weekends by planting and caring for flowers in my yard. I am a 30-year Westside resident and I love to walk and talk along West Cliff Drive with girlfriends and appreciate the coastline’s natural beauty.
My family and I enjoy boating at Lake Shasta every year, and snow skiing at Lake Tahoe, and the competitive side of me has to say, I can still beat my kids down the mountain.
I love living in Santa Cruz and am enjoying living in what will be our last house that we built in 2018.

Testimonials | Teresa Huntley

Wow, amazing job Teresa!! ✨
“Teresa was great to work with. Her positive attitude and endless energy was very uplifting and encouraging. Our whole experience with her was actually completely magical. We met Teresa and clicked immediately and within less than two weeks we owned the property she showed us. Everything she did moved the buying process forward in light speed. This enabled us to win a bidding war even though we were not the highest bidder! How did she do this you might ask? Well, all I can say is if you met Teresa you will understand. She is one of those rare people that glows with an effervescence and makes everyone around her happy with her sincere and contagious bubbly personality. Oh yeah, She is also whip smart! This woman shines while she works incredibly hard. We appreciated her prompt communication and updates during our whirlwind relationship! She’s got the magic! You’ll see…” Sara H.

Testimonials | Kim Bradburn-Gonzales

“Kim was great. She made sure to find us what we were looking for. We wanted to stay local because of my job and in the area we love. We had a VA loan which are quite difficult to work with, much more so in Scotts Valley, add on to that COVID. Kim was amazing, stayed on top of everything, and kept in touch with our VA home loan specialist. We had a hard time finding a place, but when we found it she did everything possible to get us into our home. Our first home, and here we are 2 months later happy homeowners all thanks to Kim and her dedication. ” -Osiris and Kyle A
