Welcome to Room Real Estate! Founded by local real estate experts Jayson Madani and Maaret Forst, we’re a boutique real estate agency serving buyers and sellers. 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. Our ultimate goal is to continue building our team and business while sacrificing none of the stellar client service we’ve become known for. 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, the backbone of his business is undoubtedly client referrals. Specializing in the Santa Cruz region, Jayson firmly believes that a referral is the best gauge of his effectiveness, and as a business operating on a seventy percent referral basis, that effectiveness is solidly proven. Cutting-edge, aggressive, and creative marketing has played a large role in Jayson’s success story. 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 means that he’s not only ready to aid you in acquiring the property that puts you in your dream neighborhood, but he’s equally ready to line you up with the quality contractors that can transform your hopes into a real home. It’s his available and committed outlook that results in returned clients and consistent referrals. With Jayson, escrow isn’t the end of the relationship. Raised in the region where he’s now raising his own family, Jayson is a third generation member of the Santa Cruz community. Jayson is committed to giving back to his community, which he does through donations and fundraising for multiple local charitable organizations, with Big Brothers and Big Sisters and Second Harvest Food Bank being two of the beneficiaries of his philanthropy. When he’s not working, Jayson enjoys spending time with his wife and children. Looking to the future, Jayson’s plans are simple: to continue building his team and growing his business, while sacrificing none of the stellar client service that has become synonymous with his name.
