LNF specialist agents are available in Santa Cruz
Our licensed real estate agents specialize in “multiplayer housing”
A standard agent sells houses. Live Near Friends coordinates lives — we understand the complexity of moving a group and the financing that makes it work.
- Group coordination experience most agents lack
- Financing strategy tailored to multiple buyers
- Expertise in ADUs, duplexes, and compounds
- 20 hours of post-purchase consulting to help you settle in
What is Live Near Friends?
We help friends and family live within “baby-monitor distance” — close enough to share meals, childcare, and everyday life — and we find (or build) the homes that make it possible.
