Working with Friday Construction was a true pleasure, from the beginning to finish. Dale has a great attitude and plan to get projects moving forward; I have done three with him so far. What I found most impressive, perhaps even more so than the excellent quality of work, was the fact that projects began and ended when he said they would no month-long delays.

We were house hunting one weekend in Santa Cruz (moving from Oakland) and found Brenda and Dale by happenstance at one of their open houses. They were both so personable and kind that I asked for their card and held onto it. I had met with another local realtor earlier in the year, but I just didn't feel comfortable, we didn't click. When we were ready to formally pick our realtor, I knew Brenda and Dale were our only choice.
And I'm so very glad we went with them. Their service is exceptional. We were only able to come down on the weekends to look at houses, and Brenda always made herself available to us. She would have our day planned so we were efficient and saw as many places as we could. She was always fun, informative, and easy going, which we really appreciated with our 2 year old in tow. I'm an architect, and thought about buying a lot to build out. Dale was incredibly helpful through the process of inquiring with the planning department (though that lot didn't pan out).
I was so impressed by his willingness to go above and beyond what any other realtor would do. When we found our current home, we were disappointed in how the previous owners left it. Again Brenda went beyond the call of duty to work with the selling realtor to make sure that the house was clean when we moved in. Every moment of our experience with Friday Realty was simply delightful and easy.
If we ever sell this home, we will gladly use Brenda and Dale again, hands down. Now we consider them our friends, and we like to go to their First Friday Art Events, stop by on their open houses just to say hi, and run into them around town. They continually make our lives a little brighter, and are part of the community that makes Santa Cruz a little slice of paradise.

Brenda is one of the nicest and savviest realtors I know. She helped us find an incredible house in Live Oak. Built in 2002 it's practically brand new, and we couldn't have scored it without her. Her service is exceptional, and she always went above and beyond for us. I met her at one of her open houses (while we were out house hunting on our own), and knew right away I wanted to work with her.
She's very connected within the Santa Cruz area, and has a vast knowledge of both the properties and the in's and out's of negotiations in the Santa Cruz market. That was the wisdom and guidance we needed coming from Oakland, which has a totally different way of going about the market up there. Every moment of working with her was such a positive and seamless experience. She's very on top of her game, and handled two Type A's flawlessly. I cannot recommend Friday Realty enough!

Dale and his team were exceptional in the selling of our home in Capitola. The went above and beyond to help us prepare and educate us when we had questions. They are professional, genuine and very in-tune with the area. My family was more than please with our entire transaction and would highly recommend Friday Realty!

On a five star scale, Friday Realty is a six! In a remarkable twist of good luck, we encountered Friday Realty. Our experience with them was wonderful. If you are looking for something more, and more personal than the usual, give these folks a call. Dale was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, attentive, and resourceful. We needed help because we live 700 miles away, and mother's home had not been on the market for 50 years. Dale solved everything that came up and his knowledge of construction and local resources was incredible. Thank you Dale and Friday Realty!

Dale is an awesome, respectable person. He just helped us buy a short sale in Felton. He is knowledgable about construction and is able to visualize potential. He will also tell you when he thinks a property isn't such a good idea, which is honorable. He was dedicated to helping us find the "right house" for us. Thanks, Dale. We love our new house!

Dale is as good as it gets. He helped me on several deals and pointed out things that i never would have seen. His background as a contractor really came into play when i had questions about certain aspects of properties. With his attention to detail, great attitude, and breadth of knowledge.you can't go wrong with Friday Realty. Best realtor i have ever dealt with.

Dale helped us buy a house in the Pleasure Point area of Santa Cruz. We tried a few other real estate folks, but were underwhelmed with their knowledge of the area and the housing market. Dale exceeded our expectations - it was especially helpful that Dale was a contractor and could tell us subtle points about good vs bad house construction. Given that the house was for our multi-generational family, there were so many factors to consider, which Dale anticipated and found answers.
After the sale, Dale continued to stay involved and helped us locate contractors and good, local, businesses to work with. I highly recommend Friday Realty for everyone - it is such a pleasure to do business with a knowledgable and personable person like Dale!

Dale went beyond the call of duty when he listed and sold our long time home in Santa Cruz. It was an emotional sale to say the least and Dale made us feel comfortable with the process as well as getting us far over asking! He even helped get the house and grounds ship shape. More than most would do. I can not recommend Dale more highly as an honest hardworking upstanding guy, whom I am pleased to call my friend. Thanks again Dale!
