I recently purchased a home in Santa Cruz County and the agent I was referred to was Kasey Hinchman who works at David Lyng Real Estate. The referral came from a good friend of mine who had recently completed a sale with Kasey and was very impressed with his work ethic and professionalism. From the beginning to the end of the transaction, Kasey has been there to guide me through the sometimes frustrating process of buying a home. I made a few late night/early morning calls, worrying about this or that but he never complained or made me feel like I was bothering him. His knowledge of the local real estate market and lending procedures really helped calm my nerves. His wife, Brooke is also an agent and together they make an awesome team. Brooke, has lived in Santa Cruz County her entire life so she has an extensive knowledge of the area. Their Broker, David Lyng Real Estate, was very helpful co-ordinating and getting things done as soon as possible. The David Lyng Real Estate /Kasey & Brooke Hinchman duo means you are working with the best real estate combo there is. If you are looking for a real estate agent in the Santa Cruz/Monterey Counties who is a go-getter and has the knowledge they need(with a proven track record) to complete your transaction as smoothly as humanly possible. Then I would highly recommend Kasey & Brooke Hinchman for all of your Monterey Bay Area real estate transactions. Update 2: 10/17/2014 I have completed a couple more transactions with this couple. I can honestly say that they are the most dedicated and hardworking people I’ve worked with in a long time. In 2013 Kasey won the coveted«Agent of the Year» award for being the Top Agent at David Lyng that year. All I can say is, Wow!
