Meet Malaka Thompson

The human element is what drew me to real estate and what makes the work meaningful to me. I've always been drawn to the story behind a move. 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? I ask those questions early because the answers shape the advice I give, the homes we consider and the strategy we put in place.

As the daughter of an architect and a contractor, I grew up hearing how a home takes shape, from the first drawing to the final detail. I still look at homes through both lenses. I notice how the light moves through a room, how the floor plan feels when people gather and what it might take to make a space work differently. I bring that perspective to my work as a REALTOR® with 360 Real Estate Professionals at SERHANT. CA, serving Santa Cruz County, Los Gatos, Monterey Bay and Pebble Beach.

Surviving breast cancer changed how I think about time and what I want to accomplish. It made me more deliberate about how I experience time and deepened my appreciation for the trust people place in me during periods of change. Helping someone make a decision that gives them space for the life they want is one of the most meaningful parts of my job.

I bring that same care to the practical side of real estate. Whether I'm coordinating a sale and purchase that depend on each other, helping a client relocate or working alongside their advisors on a 1031 exchange, I pay close attention to where one decision affects the next. You can expect candid advice, resourcefulness when plans change and steady follow-through on the details that matter most.

The relationships I value often begin long before a home is bought or sold, with a conversation about what comes next.
