About Lance
A fourth-generation Santa Cruz native, Lance was a professional musician before heading into the family business of property tax consulting. Representing many blue-chip Fortune 500 companies, Lance steadily navigated corporate and government intricacies while determining and implementing the most winning strategies for his clients. Lance has always worked in different facets of real estate but was eager to move from the high-pressure corporate arena to the one-on-one transactional kind. He began by working with investors and slowly transitioned into handling all types of deals, a juggling act with which he was familiar and comfortable.
Lance is a founding member of the top-producing Kroft and Hulsey team and a co-founder of Sol Property Advisors. He believes that being a better agent makes the industry a better place for all, and his mission is to provide professional and ethical service to clients and colleagues alike. As a former productivity coach, Lance is ever-mindful of the high-level coaching he once received, and he pays it forward by sharing his knowledge and insights with other agents to help them grow their businesses, productivity, and successes. Lance also holds several industry designations, including as a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) and Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR®).
When Lance isn’t selling real estate, you’ll often find him making music solo or collaborating with his musician friends. Lance is also a huge soccer and Formula One racing fan. He is married to his beautiful, German-born wife, Julia, and has two equally beautiful twin daughters, who are both competitive equestrians! Lance is passionate about giving back to his community through his company’s Heroes Housing Assistance program and by collecting food donations on behalf of local organizations. He’s also a member of the Women’s Council of Realtors®, which helps to empower women in real estate.

Lance has been a great help in guiding me through the Santa Cruz real estate market. I live out of town and he has been great on the phone and when we visited in person. I trust Lance and would highly recommend him. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the different parts of the county. Cannot wait to work with him again.

I have worked with Lance over the last 5 years and find him hands on, realistic with a niche of having local knowledge most agents don't have. This knowledge coupled with his experience turns into an unbeatable team when listing property or making offers. They always say, put your best foot forward. Lance always does. I will continue referring him friends and family that want to buy and sell real estate. BTW...he also has some great strategies in lowering ones property taxes...Another value add!
