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

Gary Goldberg is a master negotiator who works tirelessly for his clients…read more I listed my oceanfront properties with Coastal Properties because they were highly recommended by a number of local real estate professionals. The staff immediately put together a superb campaign, hiring drone operators and photographers to supplement their in-house graphic and marketing experts. For over a year, Gary fielded and winnowed dozens of prospectives before bringing in a qualified buyer. Despite numerous complex financing hurdles in this tumultuous market, he was able to structure a deal that ended with me being paid off early. Gary responded immediately to all parties through literally hundreds of communications , answering and returning calls and emails in the most professional manner. His always calm and respectful attitude made the difference. Highly recommended.

Skyline Property Management: Six Stars - They Deliver!…read more Several years ago, as neophytes to being 'landlords', we took the recommendation of a real estate agent/friend and hired Skyline. Robert & Christy walked us through what we needed to do to prepare our rental, advised us on pricing, advertised and screened applicants for us, negotiated the rental contract and then managed the property once tenants were 'in'. They were professional, thorough and made the entire process EASY! Recently we have also seen Skyline in action from the renter's perspective when our son contacted them about an apartment they were managing. Again, Skyline's Robert & Christy were the consummate professionals. They put my son at ease and were straightforward about the process, the documents they needed, and their expectations once my son qualified for the rental. They have been quick to respond to needed repairs and are always available to answer questions. They are compassionate people who really enjoy their work! I recommend Skyline Property Management to landlords and renters. They are the real deal!

I lived in one of their apartments for my last two years at UCSB. They were great to work with…read more Everything such as payments and maintenance requests were done online. They never took more than a day to respond. When the heater burned out, they switched it out the next day. The apartment was better than most places in IV, and the price was around the same because internet and cable was included in the rent. They also returned pretty much all of the security deposit. (They took a preset amount for cleaning fee, but it was mentioned beforehand and actually cheaper than many cleaners). I recommend Koto to all my friends living in IV now!

If more people were keen on just how scandalous this managment is, Koto would not be in business…read more These people treat their tenants like trash, case in point below. Unless you're in a desperate situation where timeframes will not allow, avoid renting from Koto at all costs, I've read the other reviews and they align with mine. It appears that being a ruthless scammer is a required criterion for getting hired at Koto, if you're a person with a moral conscious you wouldn't work for Koto, but the people who work here are unable to place themselves in other people's shoes and empathize/imagine that if this happened to them they would likewise be infuriated justly so, and at this point I hope karma is served. Koto creates "karen" tenants by their own actions. I am an introverted person that minds my own business, I pay my dues on time never a missed payment, but if you walk all over me and dismiss my concerns then I will not be quiet and go away, my current situation. Koto will at first dismiss your valid concerns as if you're a mosquito in their ear, then, they will unlawfully try to bully and intimidate you into submission. DO YOUR RESEARCH, they try to pull many illegal tactics, do not trust what they say in any correspondence and DO trust they will try to retaliate. Their "legal team" either doesn't exist or is completely inept, otherwise their staff wouldn't be attempting to enact a 30-day notice change of terms on my fixed lease term. My wishes with anyone that has dealt with them or will, your own out-of-pockets costs are likely to ensue.
