About Maureen
With deep knowledge of Santa Cruz County’s unique communities, from coastal neighborhoods and luxury properties to mountain retreats and sought-after residential areas, I help clients understand market conditions, identify opportunities, and move forward with clarity.
Strategic Home Selling Guidance
Selling a home in Santa Cruz County requires more than placing it on the market. It takes thoughtful preparation, accurate pricing, elevated marketing, and skilled negotiation. I work closely with sellers to position their property for maximum exposure and the strongest possible result, highlighting the setting, lifestyle, and features that make each home special.
Buyer Representation & Portfolio Growth
As a buyer’s agent, I guide clients through every stage of the purchase process, whether they are seasoned homeowners looking to expand their real estate portfolio, searching for a second home by the beach, exploring investment opportunities, or purchasing their first home. I help buyers evaluate neighborhoods, pricing, lifestyle fit, long-term value, and negotiation strategy so they can buy with confidence.
Relocation & Local Market Expertise
For those relocating to Santa Cruz County, I provide insight into neighborhoods, schools, commute options, coastal and mountain communities, and the lifestyle differences that make each area unique. My goal is to simplify the process and help you find the right fit for your next chapter.
Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or simply exploring your options, I’d be honored to be your trusted Santa Cruz County real estate resource.
Let’s connect, I’m here to help you navigate your next move with confidence.

I literally cannot say enough positive things about working with Maureen on our house purchase. We randomly met (and loved!) her in an open house then she worked tirelessly for two years to get us our dream home. With little available inventory out there she was able to find us an off market deal solely because of her tenacity and responsiveness. We are so grateful we met her that fateful day two years ago and couldn’t recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough about Maureen Kendall. She is truly a spectacular agent and person! We collaborated with Maureen on the sale of our home and the purchase of a new home in a competitive post-COVID market. Maureen managed to sell our house for the price and time frame we needed and helped us get into our new home. Our dream location was out of the question in my mind, everything outbid and selling way over asking, but Maureen negotiated a lower purchase price twice, in addition to concessions, and we purchased a home in the location we desired. Maureen went above and beyond in both the selling and buying process of our homes. She worked with the agent for the seller to negotiate and finalize the transaction swiftly and connected us with a lender who did an exceptional job. She listened to us and truly cared about our needs. She continues to be a great source of support even after closing. The passion she has for her work shows! We definitely felt more like family than clients. We could not be happier! We highly recommend Maureen. Thank you again, Maureen! We are so happy we did this with you. Thanks for dreaming with us!

Maureen is the best real estate agent I have found! In looking for a home she was the third agent I worked with and I stayed because of her promptness, attention to detail, and genuine care in helping me find the right home. As a first-time homebuyer, her instincts on market movement and advisement were unparalleled. I fully trusted her expertise and felt safe in making this big financial decision with her professionalism. She was always enjoyable to work with, combed through inspections and pointed out important details I missed, and always protected my best interests in the process. She was very patient with changes in the process and kept me calm during a very stressful process. I would fully endorse her to any home buyers!
