David is incredibly professional and goes the extra mile in every step of the real estate process. We worked with him to purchase a new home and sell our old house in SB.

I would highly recommend David and his team and will work with him again if there ever is a "next time".

He's not a throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks, he's methodical, patient, smart and intelligent. He's forthright and judicious.

In each case, Dusty presented exceptional knowledge of the Santa Barbara luxury home market, provided excellent guidance, and most importantly, was really attentive to our needs, our input, and our timelines. Dusty is top notch in this business.

If you're buying your first home, need a mortgage, and still want to stay competitive in the…read moreincredibly tight Santa Barbara/Goleta housing market, look no further than Kendrick. 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.

As a home inspector and owner of the largest home inspection company in Santa Barbara, I am involved in a high volume of real estate transactions, and the quality of the agent makes a noticeable difference in how smoothly a deal moves from listing to closing. Kendrick is exceptionally proactive and thorough. He consistently reviews inspection reports, anticipates potential issues early, and works closely with all parties to ensure nothing is overlooked. From coordinating access and timelines to following up on documentation and details, he stays ahead of the issues that commonly delay real estate transactions. What truly sets Kendrick apart is his team of trusted contractors and handymen. When repairs or improvements are needed, Kendrick is able to mobilize his team at rocket speed, getting work completed efficiently and correctly, often faster than I've seen any other agent accomplish. This level of responsiveness and execution is rare and makes a significant difference in keeping escrows on track. Having worked with countless real estate agents throughout my career, Kendrick Guehr is someone I trust and highly recommend to anyone buying or selling real estate in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta or Hope Ranch. His professionalism, organization, and ability to get things done quickly truly set him apart in the local real estate market.

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!

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

She is extremely knowledgable and understands both the buyer and seller perspectives and is a whiz at bridging both. She's very consultative rather than the many "service oriented" agents who yes, behave as little extra helpers who might flush toilets or provide a nice plumber but really don't know the nuances or have influence within the real estate domian. Nancy is connected to the inner circle and magically gets things done. Be careful when selecting an agent - It's an important decision, who to use, and Nancy is smart & capable. Good luck out there.

I was living out of state and needed to sell my rental, that unfortunately wasn't as loved by the renter as it was by us. Katie immediately assessed the situation. She coordinated cleaning, repairs, new paint, window treatments and flooring. She worked with staging taking space that I didn't know how to use and turned it into something only a visionary could see. She turned our desert backyard into an oasis by working with a gardener. The whole time she had such a clear vision of what needed to be done on a budget and executed it like a superstar! The offers immediately came in over what we had hoped for because we trusted in her expertise. Throughout the whole process she was my life coach, talking me through the stressors without breaking a sweat. She knows this business. She understands people. She empathizes with the stress of buying and selling a home. You can't do any better than Katie and you will not regret working with her for a second.
