Hyko Roppel

Sales Associate • CA DRE 01152133

When people hear or see my name, they do a double take. They’re constantly asking, “How to do you pronounce your name again?” and “Where are you from?” Born in Germany and raised in Australia, I am a thirty year resident of Santa Cruz County, fortunate to live in this paradise. I am married to Alicia Escobar, a retired local elementary school principal, and have two grown sons, a stepdaughter, and two grandsons.

I have been a licensed REALTOR for nearly two decades and can help you navigate the complexities associated with any real estate transaction. I specialize in residential and income properties, serving all of Santa Cruz County from beachfront estates to mountain cabins. The sale of your home is as important to me as it is to you. My business is built on the principles of outstanding client service, outstanding negotiating skills and a keen eye for detail. I care about the outcome of your transaction, I care whether you find the house that fits your needs, I care when your home gets sold and the price it sells for. I know that moving involves more than just paperwork and signing on the dotted line. It involves you and your family, something I can relate to as well. That’s the reason I go the extra mile to make sure your goals are accomplished.

Call me for an outstanding move in Real Estate today.

Satisfied Buyer

Buyer

‟Hyko helped me find and negotiate buying my first home. He asked the right questions to get me focused on what was important to me in a home. He would take me around to potential places and then we would analyze my likes and dislikes of them to get a clearer picture of what I wanted. This was immensely helpful. He listened well, along with addin … g his insights and expertise. I was intimidated by the whole process and he not only helped me to understand everything but made it enjoyable also” Read More ▾
