★★★★★ “Buying my first home felt overwhelming and daunting, but the entire process was made so much easier with the right guidance and support. I first met Nancy at an open house, knowing nothing about the process or even having a realtor. She was so warm and kind and quickly took me under her wing. Every question I had was answered with patience, and I always felt informed and confident about each step. From finding the perfect home to closing day, the process was fast and furious, but Nancy led me step by step through the process, never making me feel like an annoyance with my millions of questions or repeated requests for clarification. Being completely naïve to the home buying process, I truly appreciated the dedication, communication, and commitment to making my first home-buying experience a positive one. Nancy made me feel like she’d known me forever, her genuine interest in getting to know me and finding the perfect house for me made me feel special and thankful for her support. I cannot thank Nancy enough and would highly recommend her as a realtor, especially for first-time home buyers looking for someone they can trust.”" -Megan C.
★★★★★ "Boy, did I hit the jackpot when I ran into Nancy Gieringer at an open house. I was wanting to make a move from Dublin, CA to Santa Cruz to be close to my daughter. I wasn’t quite ready to make the move but the perfect house came on the market, and Nancy was there to help me every step of the way. She had a great team and recommendations that made my dream come true. I didn’t realize that moving from a home I lived in for 32 years was going to take such an emotional toll but it did and thank goodness for Nancy. She not only helped me navigate the real estate side of buying a home but also offered emotional support when I needed it. I don’t think this would have happened if she wasn’t there to let me know everything was going to be okay when I was overwhelmed. I’m so grateful for that. I would not hesitate to recommend Nancy to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She was more than just a real estate agent and that made all the difference for me." -Debra Ataman, New resident of Bonny Doon, CA
As a Principal Agent at Compass, I bring a passion for serving people, building long-term, trusted relationships, and exceeding client expectations to my real estate business.
Born in California and raised in Aptos, I have a deep knowledge of the Santa Cruz area where my family has owned homes in Aptos, Rio del Mar, Scotts Valley and Seabright for more than four decades. After moving away to attend UC Berkeley, and meeting my husband, we settled in the East Bay to grow our careers and raise our two daughters. Missing the coastal climate and scenic beauty of living by the coast, we gradually made the transition back to Santa Cruz and have called the Seabright Beach neighborhood our home (again) for more than 20 years.
I bring a strong foundation of delivering trusted client service to real estate after a successful 25-year career in senior sale roles in management consulting and “tech,” and am honored to have worked for or served some the largest, trusted global companies and brands including Deloitte, Google, Apple, Meta/Facebook, and Accenture.
My husband and I have a shared passion for real estate and have personally bought, listed and sold more than twelve residential and investment properties in California, Austin, TX, Washington D.C and Hawaii totaling more than 25 real estate transactions – I’ve been in your shoes!
When I am not helping my clients pursue their real estate goals and dreams, I enjoy cooking, exploring the coast, getting together with family, shopping at one of the local farmers’ markets and taking my rescue pup on a neighborhood stroll or to one of our beautiful beaches.
