Meet Mario Desantis
Mario Desantis is a risk-taker who knows how to deliver results. Raised in Altamura, Puglia, the heel of Italy’s “boot,” Mario moved to Santa Cruz, California, at the age of 19 after visiting for vacation and falling in love with the city, the redwoods, and the community. Upon arriving in Santa Cruz, Mario dedicated himself to learning English and Spanish and improving himself through education. Now, as a real estate agent, he brings that zest for life and progress to all of his clients.
Mario became excited about real estate after buying his first home in 2018; he wanted others to experience how amazing it feels to own a home. He began studying the industry and became even more passionate about helping clients find their dream homes. Mario works with buyers across the board — from first-time homebuyers to empty nesters ready to downsize. He speaks English, Spanish, and Italian, and can help people who are relocating from outside the U.S. find their home in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Mario is dedicated to his community and his family, and he loves traveling around Europe and the U.S. to learn about other cultures. The husband and father of one also loves playing soccer, running in the beautiful redwoods, reading books, and meeting new people. He and his wife, Morgan, enjoy cooking, hiking, and traveling the world. Ciao!

I can honestly say he was the perfect realtor for us.

During the 8 months we got to spend with Mario, I can honestly say he was the perfect realtor for us. We were not in a rush to buy and our taste in homes was not easy to pinpoint. He was never pushy and always recommended we take our time….

I’ve been looking at a house since it came onto the market at the beginning of January 2021. Mario helped make sure we were first in line to see the home once it became available which wasn’t until April. This was our first home purchase and Mario was an excellent…
Mario made the purchase of my home a possibility.

Mario made the purchase of my home a possibility. His connections, negotiating skills, research, and drive, were the reasons we beat out everyone else and made an offer that stuck. He’s a miracle worker and I couldn’t be happier in my new home. I highly recommend him if you need…
