I think the fee for service was very reasonable. They were able to provide me a way to securely upload my documents for processing. They prepared our taxes quickly and called for clarifications prior to sending them to us for approval. I was super impressed with everyone and this company and how quickly they worked. I did contact them early and filing late February probably helped. I would definitely recommend contacting them if considering a CPA or Tax preparation service. Thanks!!

We absolutely loved working with Christine Bergman of "Styled and Staged". Her "reading" of our…read moreSanta Barbara area West-Indian themed home was so insightful. The requested partial staging was fairly priced and the results just stunning. Not only beautiful enhancements, but small thoughtful touches to add warmth and a sense of "home". Especially in a time of sudden and drastic changes in the RE market (pandemic), her gorgeous furniture and accent pieces very definitely made our home "shine" to best advantage and greatly helped us to sell. We highly recommend Styled and Staged to any wishing to sell their homes--to do so will be a huge advantage. Thank you Christine & Team for being so wonderful at your job and so delightfully easy to work with!

After months of building, patching, painting, installing and generally remodeling the whole house,…read moreit's time to sell. Now you want it to look it's best! The house will be listed in 3 weeks and I need someone to stage the house; to add the finishing touches. I interviewed several staging companies. The last person I called before making a final decision was Christine Cowles Bergamin at Styled & Staged Santa Barbara. Of all the staging companies that came to my house she spent the most time. Christine and her husband Mauricio are a terrific team. They spent time measuring rooms, taking pictures and really getting a feel for the house. I was very impressed and decided to hire them on the spot. Within a day I received a detailed written estimate. She recommended which rooms were most important for staging and what I could do to save some money. I decided to do more than less and she got to work. A few days before my property went on the market, Christine and her husband got to work. They spent two full days "dressing" the house. Christine obsessed over every tiny detail. Furniture came in and then came out, pictures in pictures out: It was a frenzy of activity, finding just the right pieces for the space. Staged & Styled SB converted my house from a nicely remodeled house into a high end luxury home. A professional photographer, a great agent and a fabulous staging company and my home was listed on a Thursday. The next day I received multiple offers and accepted the best offer Saturday. All this before the open house on Sunday! A professional staging company is a must. The property shows better in the MLS listing and creates a real "buzz". There's more interest, more offers and it sells fast! Thank you Christine and Mauricio. I couldn't have done it without you! Brian P. Goleta

Told Ken that was too excessive and would be going elsewhere next year. He said he understood, and that he was losing a lot of his customers. I've since retired and had to go to Ken for a previous business year adjustment that he was familiar with. He said the new owners realized they were losing customers and adjusted their pricing. So, I decided to go back for my retirement taxes, Ken knows his stuff. Well, they went back to their old pricing. I was charged me nearly double from the previous year. They won't see me again.
