Ace Woods
DRE # 02028183
I am a 2nd generation top Realtor in Santa Cruz and the founder of award-winning Dream Catch Properties and Revest Homes real estate agencies in Santa Cruz. I went to Cabrillo College and then graduated from UC Davis in 2010. Prior to real estate I worked in financial and legal consulting in San Francisco. I was the 2022 Women’s Council of Realtors President and in 2019 I was honored to be voted runner-up for "Best Realtor in Santa Cruz." I also served on the Board of Directors for Modern Real Estate Professionals and am a member of Local Government Affairs at the Association of Realtors. In 2021 I successfully advocated for significant changes to the Santa Cruz County Measure J program, and was welcomed into the Centennial Club at the Association of Realtors for my efforts to protect private property rights of homeowners in Santa Cruz. I consider matchmaker and problem solver, and love bringing people (and houses!) together.

I am passionate about housing with 10+ years experience with property management, and 6 years in Mental Health Housing in Santa Cruz. I was part of the 2023 Santa Cruz Housing Element as a stakeholder involved in the next phase of our community housing plans for the next 7 years. I love a challenge and helping people reach their goals! I have a background in Social Work with huge network of community resources and partners. I was a property manager at one of the largest commercial and residential locally owned real estate companies, 200+ doors and 2M+ in monthly deposits. I'm a mom with three amazing kiddos and live with my husband in Watsonville. I'm a Santa cruz County homeowner in the process of growing my real estate portfolio to build generational wealth for my family. I enjoy writing and am a monthly contributor to FastExpert for real estate blogging. The weekends (when I'm not showing houses) I'm enjoying the bounty that Santa Cruz County has to offer: beaches, redwoods, hiking, and enjoying fine dining.

From Santa Cruz originally, I spent much of my life in the U.K. and exploring different countries across five continents. Before becoming a Realtor in Santa Cruz, I managed a local construction company and also worked as the marketing director for another top real estate agency in Santa Cruz. I studied design at UC Davis with an emphasis in interior design and architecture, where I developed a keen eye for detail and a love for renovating old spaces. When I’m not busy showing homes, I enjoy spending time with my family, going on hikes, and weekend getaways in Lake Tahoe!

I have lived in the SF Bay Area since 1964 and worked in technology/engineering starting in 1984. I went to Willow Glen and graduated from De Anza Community College and SJSU. I started managing privately held properties in 2010 am familiar with everything that goes into managing properties - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I also helped manage a close friend's properties during a personal catastrophe and helped him avoid foreclosure. I raised my son and daughter alone since 2010. It does sound corny but it has been the best time in my life. I may not look like a soccer mom, but I am a rugby dad, swimming dad, and archery dad.

I’m California born and raised. I grew up in Mt. View and moved to Santa Cruz after the birth of my daughter in 2011. I started my professional career in tech working for companies like Adobe Systems and Apple computer. I realized that I wanted to do more to help take care of my community and transitioned in to a life in EMS and spent 17 years on an ambulance responding to 911 calls. Realizing I longed for more personal connection, I decided to leave the EMS industry and pursue a career as a certified life / health and wellness coach. Helping people who were looking for answers to create the steps needed to attain their biggest goals has been a passion for me. I now bring that same caregiving mentality into the Santa Cruz real estate industry. I apply the detective tools I’ve learned in EMS with the listening and problem solving tools from my years in coaching to truly hear the needs of my clients and take care of them while they make one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
