Founded by local real estate experts Jayson Madani and Maaret Forst, we’re a boutique real estate agency serving buyers and sellers in the Santa Cruz area where Jayson was born and raised and has sold properties since 2004. With over 330 closed transactions in 2022 alone, we’re consistently ranked as the area’s #1 selling real estate team and #11 Top Mega Team in California ranked by volume as recognized by RealTrends The Thousand, published in WallStreet Journal. Our team members know the local neighborhoods and communities like the back of their hands, and our clients benefit from our agents’ knowledge, experience, and deep network contacts. Room Real Estate: raising the bar on the Santa Cruz County real estate scene.

Jayson Madani was merely a middle schooler at a job fair when an attending real estate agent told him unequivocally that “everyone should own a home.” As the founder and leader of the Madani Team, Jayson’s dedication to that realization is the foundation of his team of leading agents. Specializing in the Santa Cruz areas where he has lived his entire life and sold properties since 2004, Jayson has gained a deep knowledge of the area and is able to sell the lifestyle these fascinating neighborhoods offer.

Cutting-edge, creative marketing often targeted specifically to Silicon Valley buyers has played a large role in Jayson’s success story. Jayson knows what the Silicon Valley homebuyer wants and is able to present the properties in the right way. From those hard-to-sell listings to those hard-to-find buys, Jayson’s expertise goes far beyond the cut and dry of tract home sales. When it matters that your agent understands the ins and outs of building permits, flood zones, and well water quality, Jayson has the expertise to guide clients through the complexities of any property purchase or listing with exceptional, client-centered focus.

Jayson prides himself on his consistent effort to turn transactions into relationships, which means that when the unexpected, post-close question arises, he’s as happy to help as he was on day one. It’s his available and committed outlook that results in returned clients and consistent referrals. With Jayson, end of escrow isn’t the end of the relationship.
