As the owner of a local home inspection company with over 20 years serving the Santa Barbara…read morecommunity, I've had the opportunity to work with Kyle Richardson and The Richardson Team on hundreds of real estate transactions over the years, and they are among the most knowledgeable and professional real estate teams in Santa Barbara. One of the things that stands out most is the generational depth of experience behind their work. Their understanding of the Santa Barbara market comes from decades of professional stewardship serving local real estate clients, and that depth of knowledge shows in the high-caliber guidance and strategy they bring to each transaction. I've been involved in many of their transactions over the years and have seen firsthand how much they prioritize transparency and truly advocate for their clients. They take the time to ensure buyers and sellers fully understand the condition of a property and the decisions they are making along the way, always advocating for their clients' best interests at every step. The Richardson Team represents the very best of professionalism in our local real estate community. I'm always glad when we have the opportunity to work together and would confidently recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in Santa Barbara. -- Shelby Hendrix HouseMaster Home Inspections

Kendrick is exceptionally responsive, thorough, and knowledgeable about the local market. He's also very well connected with other agents, which proved to be a huge advantage throughout our home search. Finding a home in the $1-1.3 million price range is highly competitive, but Kendrick helped us secure a beautiful home without spending months searching. His relationships, market knowledge, and offer strategy were instrumental in putting together a competitive offer that was accepted within a day of the home hitting the market. What we appreciated most was that he always had our best interests in mind. If he noticed issues with a property, he pointed them out. If he felt a home was overpriced, he told us honestly instead of encouraging us to overpay. At no point did we feel pressured to make an offer. We always felt he was helping us make the right decision. Working together with our mortgage advisor, Kendrick helped us navigate the entire process seamlessly. From our accepted offer to closing, we completed everything in less than 20 days. We highly recommend Kendrick to anyone looking to buy a home in the Santa Barbara or Goleta area.

We had a fantastic experience working with Kendrick with our recent home purchase in Santa Barbara…read more We started working with Kendrick a year ago when we lived out of state and considered moving to Santa Barbara. He helped us begin to understand the different neighborhoods in Santa Barbara and get clarity on what we really wanted. Over the last year, while we focused on getting our home ready for sale, he kept us updated on listings that fit our parameters. When we listed our home for sale, the search became serious and Kendrick stepped up with prompt feedback on our questions about properties of interest. He gave his personal analysis of each property we considered. He cautioned us about specific locations with information we would never have known such as proximity to a busy intersection. He went to listings and took videos for us to better understand what we were considering. He prepared us for the competitive Santa Barbara market. When we arrived in Santa Barbara and began our search we had a good idea of what we wanted and where we wanted to be. We found the perfect home in the first week. When our offer was accepted, Kendrick connected us with a team of specialists to prepare for closing. They were as dedicated, knowledgeable and helpful as Kendrick. Kendrick was always available to answer questions and guide us through the process. He skillfully negotiated with the seller and saved us money. We closed in less than a month after arriving in Santa Barbara. After closing, Kendrick remained connected and continued to assist us. He introduced us to workers who could quickly complete the necessary work before we moved in. Our experience working with Kendrick truly exceeded our expectations. We have worked with good realtors before, but Kendrich raised the bar well beyond what would be considered a great service. He was committed to helping us find the right home. He knows the Santa Barbara market and knows how to prepare and execute to close the deal. We feel so fortunate to have connected with Kendrick and we recommend him without reservation.

Ali Evans is the absolute BEST! We would not have found our beautiful house in Goleta without her…read more We were conducting our house search from Los Angeles, and we relied on Ali to provide information about neighborhoods and street noise for different houses on the market. Ali previewed properties for us, either using Facetime from the property or taking a series of narrated videos for us. With every house she saw or we drove up to see, Ali would ask for our feedback - what we liked, what we didn't like - so she could learn about our specific needs and wants in a new house. And then, 8 months into the process, when we happened to be up in the area for a little getaway, Ali discovered a house about to go on the market in one of our target neighborhoods in Goleta. She was able to get us in to see it the same day, advised us through the offer process, and helped us buy our new home. Ali was so responsive during the whole process, always responding quickly to texts, calls, and emails. When things got overwhelming as we were in escrow in Goleta and putting our house on the market in LA, Ali jumped in and took things off our plate - making phone calls, scheduling appointments, taking pictures and videos for insurance, etc. She has tons of resources in the local area (inspectors, insurance agents, contractors), and she has stayed in touch with us even after closing escrow. We highly recommend Ali as a realtor! She really wanted us to find the right house, not just a house, and we never felt any pressure to put an offer in on something that wasn't right. We are so happy in our new home!

While selling a house is a stressful process, selling it from another town is even more stressful, but Ali and Lauren made the process smooth and easy. A lot of the reviews for Ali & her team are from home buyers so I wanted to share my experience as a home seller with Ali. She took the lead in a way that was incredibly supportive for an out of town seller, gave guidance and supporting data on how to price the home, and was integral in getting the house to present in the best light. She and her team are great communicators, always answered all questions quickly and were really kind and professional throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a trusted hard working realtor who gets the job done with a smile, Ali and her team are for you!

From the very beginning, she truly had our best interests at heart and represented us thoughtfully and professionally throughout the entire transaction. Jessie's knowledge of Santa Barbara neighborhoods is exceptional, and she guided us with confidence and clarity as we searched for the right home. She also connected us with top-notch inspectors and trusted professionals, helping us feel confident that the home we chose was solid and well vetted. Since we're new to town, it's been especially helpful that she continues to share great local referrals even after closing. What really sets Jessie apart is her genuine care. After we moved in, she even checked on us during a large storm to make sure the house was doing okay--something you don't often see once a transaction is complete. Jessie is smart, personable, and incredibly easy to work with. There was never any pressure--just steady guidance, honest insight, and a sincere desire to help us make the best decision for our family. As a professional home stager who works with many real estate agents, I don't say this lightly: Jessie is truly top of the heap. We feel very lucky to have had her on our side and would recommend her without hesitation.
