Our Story

360 Real Estate Professionals is a boutique luxury real estate team in Santa Cruz County, Los Gatos, and Coastal Monterey Bay. We help people buy and sell homes — from first homes to luxury, equestrian, vineyard, and rural land — with local expertise, careful negotiation, and clear, candid advice.

We start with your story: What do you love about where you live now? What would you like to experience in your next home? What does your perfect timing look like? The answers shape the homes we consider and the strategy we put in place, whether you're buying, selling, relocating, coordinating a sale and purchase that depend on each other, or completing a 1031 exchange alongside your advisors.

Our Approach

We start the same way every time — by listening. Exceptional service begins with understanding, and anticipating, each client's needs before they ask. Every client has a unique story, vision, and circumstances, and taking the time to understand yours is how we craft an experience as distinctive as the home you're seeking. Malaka Thompson brings a hospitality background built on anticipating what clients need before they ask — the spirit of Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara. Jennifer Sullivan Gilberg brings 21 years of residential real estate, guiding buyers and sellers through every kind of market with steady, knowledgeable care. Together, we're here to SIMPLIFY the real estate process and AMPLIFY your real estate experience. What's YOUR STORY?

If you hear yourself saying, "I'm not ready to do anything right now" or "I don't want to waste your time," that's exactly when a conversation helps most. A conversation about real estate rarely translates into an immediate transaction, and it shouldn't — we need time to learn what you need to curate tailored solutions. We care deeply about your happiness, and want your home to provide you with peace and security.

Malaka Thompson brings a hospitality background to real estate, shaped by corporate events and Presidents Club clients, and inspired by Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara — anticipating clients' needs before they are asked. As the daughter of an architect and a contractor, she looks at homes through both lenses — how the light moves through a room, and how a floor plan feels when people gather. She helps clients buy and sell, coordinate a sale and purchase that depend on each other, relocate, and complete 1031 exchanges alongside their advisors.

CLIENT VOICES

Jennifer was an absolutely amazing realtor in every way. She went above and beyond to not only help us with the sale financially but on a personal basis when difficulties came up as well. I could not recommend her more. She is a savvy businesswoman who is good at reading people and knows how to sell a house, and she is backed by an incredible team. She is also a good person, and there aren't a lot of tho...

CLIENT VOICES

Malaka helped us sell our home and buy a new one simultaneously. She was so helpful, thorough, and knowledgable. I really feel like we got the most we could out of our old house and bought our new house for the absolute right price. Most importantly, she was so kind to our family. Malaka calmed us down through the offers/counter-offers by giving us sound advice. She was so fun with our young children and...

CLIENT VOICES

Malaka perfectly balances professionalism with client connection and care. Her go-getter attitude and commitment to our satisfaction is undoubtedly the only way we were able to have a place to call home in time for Christmas Eve.
