We had a fantastic experience working with Kendrick with our recent home purchase in Santa Barbara. 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. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Kendrick as our realtor, and I can't recommend him enough! From the start, he was incredibly responsive--always quick to reply to messages and keep us updated. He made sure we never missed out on a potential home, sending us new listings as soon as they became available. Throughout the entire process, Kendrick was a true professional--always on top of things, providing valuable insights, and expertly guiding us through the negotiation process. His attention to detail and dedication to finding the perfect home for us made the experience seamless and stress-free. Even after closing the deal, Kendrick continued to provide exceptional service. He went above and beyond to help resolve an issue with one of our vendors who had mishandled the scheduling. Kendrick truly stands by the vendors he recommends and even took the initiative to clean up after one who left a mess in our recently closed home. He personally oversaw all the work of the handyman, communicated our entire list of tasks, and offered helpful suggestions for improvements and small changes we could make. As someone who thrives on being super organized and efficient, Kendrick's support was invaluable in making that a reality. He takes great pride in his work, and it shows in every detail.

After my mother's passing, I needed to sell her home in Santa Barbara. Unfortunately I lived over 200 miles away. I interviewed several agents, conducted extensive research, and picked Kendrick to represent us as the sellers. Boy, what a fantastic choice! The home needed several improvements which Kendrick recommended and professionally performed with his trusted tradesmen. We had several small repairs to make, new front and rear landscaping, interior painting, cleaning, staging which were all handled remotely and with efficiency and speed. Kendrick was incredibly responsive day or night usually within a minute of my text, call, or email. If he was not available immediately, he would let me know when he would be, and never failed to call back. This was extremely important being that we were located so far away. The process proceeded like clockwork. The marketing was the best I have seen including all the major internet real estate sites, videos, local papers/mailers, etc. He held an open house one weekend and immediately we received multiple offers. The house sold and closed in 7 days well over the asking price! I don't think we would have had the same result without Kendrick. If you want and agent who will handle everything from start to finish with outstanding results, look no further than Kendrick! read more

His negotiation skills are top-notch, securing our dream home even with a contingency on selling our other property. Kendrick's support didn't stop there - he attended every single inspection and even went the extra mile during a storm, crawling on his hands and knees through our crawl space to ensure the house was in good condition!

We hired Kendrick to sell a property in Santa Barbara, and the experience was about as smooth as a transaction like this can be. He walked us through the plan and the costs before any work started, and his estimates held. The improvements he recommended were the right ones -- nothing unnecessary, nothing skipped. He was clear about what he thought we should do and why, and direct without ever applying pressure. A good deal of the prep happened while I was out of the area. Kendrick coordinated the vendors, handled what came up, and kept me current the entire time. He answers his phone. That sounds like a small thing until you are in the middle of something time-sensitive. The outcome: in contract in one day, above asking, at the top of the range he had estimated for us, and the highest sale in the neighborhood to date. Knowledgeable, accommodating, and very good at the part that actually matters. Easy recommendation. read more

We are so happy we chose Kendrick to represent us with a home sale. We met with Kendrick several times before listing and took his advice on some small upgrades and paint. His knowledge of the market was spot on. He made himself available all hours of the day and had accurate answers to all of our questions.
