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!

We had an outstanding experience working with Jessie Sessions as our realtor. She helped us find…read morethe perfect home. 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.

Jessie clearly knows Santa Barbara block-by-block, and her guidance helped us find the home we always dreamed of. We were very happy with her during the escrow/closing period as well. She had a list of inspectors and contractors we were very happy to work with. On top of all of this, Jessie is a delight to do business with. If you are looking to buy or sell in Santa Barbara, I would highly recommend you go with her.

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.

Thank you Paige Kaye for your exceptional job in selling our Farm House property in the Santa Ynez…read moreValley. After working with 2 realtors that couldn't get the job done, I am so grateful we found Paige. Immediately, from the get-go she formulated a selling strategy specific for our property that made sense. She gave me a punch-list of suggestions that were itemized in importance for us to consider and her marketing plan was executed perfectly. Before we knew it we had a multiple offer situation right out of the gate. Most realtors will just plug your home on the MLS and just pray something happens. Trust me, that's not how you sell a home. You need a plan, a strategy and professional working for you. Paige worked very hard, from helping me prep the property for sale to keeping me informed daily on the progress of the open houses, buyer interest, offers, negotiations, contracts, etc.... Since we had multiple offers, which is what you want, we also needed professional guidance as well and she delivered all along the way. It can be challenging once in a contract with a buyer/seller/agent but Paige made us feel at ease with her confidence and expertise. I highly recommend Paige Kaye for your real estate needs.

I contacted the company when I became interested in a home they advertised on Trulia.com. They informed me that the only way to view the home (and similar homes in my area) was to join their membership based website which would provide me with the contact information of the sellers of many more homes in my area that fit my needs. I stupidly believe them. Once I paid the $40 membership fee, I was presented with a list of viable homes in my area. The only contact information available for these homes was to the banks which owned the property. After contacting the bank of over 10 properties, I learned that, not only was I unable to contact the sellers (as advertised) but the properties were not even available for sale or rent. When I contacted the company about the discrepancy, they person who sold me the membership (Isaac) became rude and indignant. I was told that the only way to receive a refund would be to submit a written request via mail, and that they probably would not refund my payment. I am stunned by the actions of this company and feel much less trusting of the real estate industry because of them.
