I just had the pleasure of having Chris Clayton as my realtor for the purchase of a home. Her expertise and hard work helped the process go extremely smoothly. Her connections and good reputation with inspectors, contractors, chimney specialists, pest control people, etc. made us able to quickly overcome many hurdles. She has a wealth of knowledge and guided us well. She accommodated our schedules, quickly returned our calls, and truly went above and beyond. She knows her stuff, and she is good at it! Plus, she is just a delightful person to work with. I enthusiastically recommend her.

Chris just helped my husband and I purchase our first home. She was referred to us by a friend who spoke very highly of her, and I am very thankful for that recommendation! She is so sweet and knowledgable, and she tactfully fought for us when we needed her to. She really helped us understand the home-buying process and included us every step of the way.
We came into this with a relatively low budget for the area, but she was persistent in the hunt for our perfect home (even when we felt hopeless), and all her hard work paid off. It was a pleasure working with Chris and we will continue to pass on high recommendations to others looking to purchase a new home!

Chris is a stand-out realtor! She is not only 100% professional, but she is thorough! We wonder if Chris ever gets any sleep because she has been constantly "ON" with us whether it was looking for houses or checking up on work that needed to get finished properly on the home we purchased. She is top-notch and has an excellent rapport with everyone in the real estate business she comes into contact with! We feel so fortunate to have found Chris as our realtor, and now, to call her our good friend!

I give Chris the highest rating possible. She was more than instrumental in closing our home purchase despite unusual circumstances and difficulties. One could not ask for a better representative for real estate purchase or sales. She is detailed oriented, thorough and tenacious in getting any issue resolved to her clients satisfaction. In addition, she is a delight to work with, pleasant, friendly and willing to go way beyond the call of duty to resolve issues and provide a sense of comfort to her clients. She is an exceptional person which translates to exceptional performance. I highly recommend her to any friend or acquaintance.

Chris Clayton is an amazing woman. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She is always available for her clients, even now, well after we sold and purchased a new home. She helped us five years ago buy our first home, and we went back to her when we sold that house and bought a new one. I would highly recommend her! She knows Santa Cruz, the people and areas in the county and work diligently for her clients.
