Client Testimonials

  • “Kevin was there for us always. A great negotiator, his knowledge of the market in Santa Barbara and steady hand helped any issues we ran up against. His advice regarding the preparation of our home for sale not only helped us sell it quickly, but we also fetched top dollar. He is extremely resourceful, his knowledge of local contractors, staging companies, inspectors, annual sales trends and what a typical buyer for our type of property might be looking for proved to be instrumental in our transaction. After living in Santa Barbara for some years and being acquainted with many real estate agents, Kevin really stands out!”

  • “From my first conversation with Kevin about selling our 4-unit Goleta complex, I knew we’d chosen the right Realtor®. Kevin and his team guided us with professionalism and expertise. Their marketing was outstanding! Within days of listing, we had four offers, entered escrow, and finalized negotiations at $100,000 over asking. Escrow closed just two weeks after listing. The property had been owned by a lifelong Santa Barbara resident for 50 years, making it a difficult decision to sell—but Kevin and his team delivered flawless results.”

I look forward to Kevin and his team’s property management in the years to come.”
