360° Real Estate - Scotts Valley, California

Stephen - Tony Valizan

Simply put: Malaka Thompson at 360 Real Estate is an awesome realtor. When we first relocated to the Santa Cruz area a few years ago, she helped us find a perfect landing place. It was a smooth and positive experience, and we were happy to be able to work with her again when we decided to start the search for our “forever home” this year. She is a great listener, and we felt she took the time to really understand what our family was looking for. Malaka has an intimate knowledge of this housing market, which is famously challenging and we feel we could never have navigated it without her guidance. Buying and selling a home is not usually considered to be a stress-free experience, but Malaka is calm and confident in her approach. She thought of every detail (and there were lots!) and helped us move smoothly through the many steps of a contingent sale, from preparing the listing to guiding us through evaluating and making offers. Malaka is one of a kind, and we wouldn’t work with anyone else!

Malaka is a top notch realtor who puts her heart into getting the best homes for her clients. She makes the buying process as easy as possible and is such a pleasure to work with. She helped us purchase our dream home four years ago and just helped us with the purchase of a home for my in-laws. She comes with a wealth of knowledge and great recommendations for contractors, electricians, plumbers, etc for any work that might be needed. I’m so thankful for all of Malaka’s hard work and the skills she brings to navigating the purchasing a home. If you need a realtor, I highly recommend Malaka! She is a gem and you will love working with her.

Malaka Thompson at 360 Real Estate was absolutely amazing to work with as my realtor and I highly recommend her. Selling my family home was such a difficult decision. It was a house that I designed and built with my mother. Malaka explored and offered guidance with all options with me and I trusted her with the decision to sell. If you want a top notch realtor that also is an incredible project manager with an A+ rated network of contractors, stagers, and overall team of professionals with the highest level of customer service and integrity, Malaka is your realtor. Everyone on her team that I met was kind and incredible to work with.

Malaka never left any stone unturned and was always two steps ahead of every aspect of selling my home and was constantly looking out for my best interest. Not only was Malaka very knowledgeable with real estate strategies, she was one of the most compassionate realtors I've ever met. The market when selling my home was a buyers market and when difficult decisions had to be made, Malaka explained everything so clearly and genuinely and always had my best interest in mind.

If you're looking for the very best realtor, that's incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, organized, that works with a fantastic team of professionals, look no further and hire Malaka Thompson with 360 Real Estate.

Malaka was absolutley fantastic. Not only did she get us get into a perfect home for our family, she worked with us every step of the way from getting pre-approved, to negotiating a great deal (a total shark here), negotiating repairs, and even helped us with our home warranty after the purchase. She was also very patient in explaining all of the ins and outs, and worked with us at our pace every step of the way. Cannot recommend Malaka enough.

Malaka Thompson is the best agent I’ve ever worked with. She helped me sell my condo and did a spectacular job! What amazing service! She handled absolutely everything. After walking through the property she consulted with multiple contractors and obtained the best bid to complete necessary repairs while keeping costs at a minimum. She worked with stagers to make the place look amazing (so much so I almost didn’t want to sell it)! She worked with the HOA to navigate CCR’s. She held open houses. She scoured comps to determine a price point that would produce a quick sale in a buyer’s market and ultimately got us a great price for our investment property. And she did all this despite being remote thanks to her amazing work ethic and strong network of partners/contractors 360 Real Estate Professionals employs. We could not have been more pleased with Malaka’s performance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you Malaka!!

Buying a home was harder than we thought! Before we started working with Malaka, we had a limited overview of the market and the home buying process and were far from ready to make a commitment on buying a house. Malaka was really good in knowing what we were looking for and what our hesitations were to make a commitment on a house. She did everything to make this process easier for us from entertaining the kids when we walked through open houses over showing us around the neighborhood, even to introducing us to people in the area. Malaka seemed well connected and provided us with off-market offers and other first-hand information. She showed us great properties that were not even on our radar helping us get a better picture of the market. Malaka was always there to answer questions and explain to us every detail of the process. She had great remodeling ideas and could give cost estimates.

Malaka helped us get a clear picture of what we wanted in a house and made us feel comfortable to make an offer on a house. I highly recommend her as a realtor!

Malaka was amazing throughout the process of finding our new home in the Scotts Valley area. We met her in-person at an open house shortly before the covid-19 pandemic struck, and boy were we lucky we did! She helped us navigate the twists and turns of changing moving dates and a changing market over the course of the next year, keeping us up to date and on top of things until we were finally ready to move. We were worried that it might be tough to find a home in the tight Santa Cruz market but Malaka guided us through the process with ease. She was super available and helped us coordinate everything about our move, including working with inspectors, loan officers and even setting us up with a painter and carpenter once we found our new place. Not to mention her wonderful and honest advice during the process of making the offer. In short, Malaka is a gem! She excels at what she does and really cares about her clients and their families. Thank you Malaka
