Candance did an amazing job assisting us with the sale of our home. She was very knowledgeable in all aspects of home sales. She made awesome recommendations for home improvements prior to our listing to maximize our home value. She assisted with staging and collaborated with the photographer for very professional and beautiful marketing of our home. She was extremely knowledgeable, accessible, and conscientious. She also communicated well with us, and provided us with excellent referrals. We could not be happier with her, and we are very pleased with the outcome of the sale of our home. We highly recommend Candance for all of your real estate needs.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Candice on selling my property, and I can confidently say she is an outstanding real estate professional. From start to finish, Candices local expertise, friendly demeanor, and thorough approach made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and incredibly successful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. 1. Local Expertise Candice's knowledge of the local market is second to none. She knew exactly what buyers were looking for and provided valuable insights into pricing, neighborhood trends, and timing. Her deep understanding of the area helped me make informed decisions, ensuring that my property was priced right to attract serious buyers. 2. Friendliness & Communication From our very first conversation, Candice was warm, approachable, and genuinely interested in my goals. She took the time to answer all my questions, always keeping me updated and available for any concerns. Her positive attitude made the entire experience enjoyable, and I felt like I was working with a friend who truly cared about my success. 3. Thoroughness & Attention to Detail Candices thoroughness in preparing my home for sale was impressive. She provided clear, step-by-step guidance on staging, marketing, and even minor repairs that would maximize the appeal of my property. She ensured that every detail was covered, from listing to showings, and made sure the property was presented in its best light. 4. Making the Process Easy & Getting Top Dollar What impressed me most was how Candice made the entire selling process easy. She handled everythingaEUR"from the paperwork to coordinating with contractorsaEUR"so I could focus on other aspects of my life. The result? My home sold quickly and for more than I expected. Candice knows how to position a property to attract the right buyers and negotiate to get the best price. In summary, Candice made the selling process seamless and successful, all while being an absolute pleasure to work with. Her local expertise, friendliness, thoroughness, and ability to get top dollar for my property made her an invaluable partner. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent, I highly recommend Candice!
Candice was amazing. From before the beginning, during pre-walkthroughs all the way through prep, staging, and sales Candice was there giving spot-on advice. She knows the area better than anyone else we talked to and I would recommend her to anyone selling or buying in the area.
What can be said about Candice Signa that hasnt already been said aEUR| Beyond FabulousaEUR|!! Candice Signa is wonderful in every way, starting with an exceptional person who is easy to connect with, to an outstanding realtor with a wealth of knowledge, and to having a genuine love for the community of Buellton and Santa Ynez Valley that she lives in, and for the homes that she assists people with buying or selling in. When it came time to sell our home we were very fortunate to have Candice by our side and guiding us every step along the way. She is very astute and with a keen eye for details, not only identifying minor repairs, but ideas for paint, flooring, landscaping, etc., and she was able to quickly draw on the required personnel; and then act as aEURoeTeam CaptainaEUR? to make sure that everyone stayed on point with a very tight schedule. Having everything in tiptop shape, she was able to orchestra the open house for a week-end that brought nearly a hundred people on the first day and by day two, we had two offers in hand! We are truly pleased and gratified that Candice made us feel like friends and made the whole process feel easy, and a stronger recommendation could not be made!
My wife and I have family in the Santa Ynez Valley and have been visiting for years. We wanted a condo of our own. We retained Candice to help. We specifically were looking for a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo. With Candices help, we looked for almost a year without any luck. Out of the blue Candice called and suggested we look at a 1 bedroom condo in the area we were interested in. I was reluctant because we really wanted a 2 bedroom. Candice persisted and had us take a look. The condo had been completely remodeled, had a 2 car garage, an end unit, no one above or below us. We loved it. Candice had called us 8 minutes after the condo went on the market! Outstanding! We made an offer and closed within 45 days, all with Candice assistance. We couldnt be happier with the condo or Candice! Thanks Candice. TJD.
We chose Candice because she seemed to be really on the ball from the start. She understood what we were looking for, and provided leads that were not readily accessible by a simple internet search. She showed us a house that we wanted, and we made a bid with her guidance. We were out bid, but that didn't stop her. Candice didn't give up, and through some special circumstances, got us the house! She went way above the call of duty, and pulled it off. Our situation was unique in that the escrow process was extended (due to seller), but Candice stuck it out. We were always confident that she would seal the deal because she was on the case, and aggressively advocated for us throughout the entire process. We love the house. If you are looking for a house in Santa Barbara County, give her a call. She knows the area very, very well.
From our first meeting, Candice made sure that we were taken care of. This process can be very scary at times, and this is why you need someone like her by your side. She made sure we were able to understand every step of the process, receive guidance when needed, ask questions whenever we needed to, and have peace of mind that we had somebody fighting for what we needed and wanted. I cannot recommend Candice enough, she will make sure that this emotional process produces the results that you are hoping for, she is extremely knowledgeable, caring, responsive, attentive, and most importantly; relentless in getting you what you want and need. Thank you Candice! We could have not done it without you!
In late 2021, my wife and I came to the realization that we were finally financially prepared to buy a home-- at 2018 prices. In about three years, it seemed the Santa Ynez Valley had gone from a market where one could find a move-in ready house for $750,000 to a place where fixer-uppers were creeping toward the $1 million mark. Moreover, in the spring of 2022, when we finally got our down payment ducks in a row, mortgage interest rates were on the rise and threatening to price us out of a market that had limited housing inventory. We did not want to leave the Valley, as it had been our home since completion of graduate school and the place where our eight-year-old son had lived his entire life. But, even as we met Candice to tour the few homes that approximated our target price, we felt that we would likely remain renters if we hoped to remain local. Nonetheless, through the entire house-hunting process, Candice never steered us toward homes that were outside of our parameters (an affordable three bedroom in the valley, preferably with a yard). And the second that houses came on the market (and sometimes before they came on the market) we were sure to get texts or phone calls from Candice to inform us. She was equally quick to respond to any questions we shot in her direction. Particularly impressive about Candice was her extensive knowledge of market conditions, home construction, and the Santa Ynez valley in general. She raised her kids here, and we could tell that her knowledge of the area stemmed from the community roots she had established. After responding quite competently to my many anxiety-driven questions for about two months, Candices tenacity paid off. We toured a home that needed work but met almost all the items on our checklist. It had three bedrooms and an amazing yard, which came with fruit trees and a spectacular hillside view as bonuses. The asking price, however, was a challenge. After consulting with Candice, we threw a Hail Mary offer for $100,000 less than the seller was asking. The sellers agent asked for more, but Candice proved herself to be tough negotiator and stuck to our asking price, never coming to us with a counter offer from the seller. In early May, the home was ours. For the past few weeks, we have been working in the yard, cleaning, installing flooring, and painting. Pretty soon, this fixer-upper will be move-in ready. In months to come, it will be the home of our dreams. We have Candice to thank for it.
Candice is made out of sunshine! From the moment I first spoke with her on the phone, I knew we were lucky to have found someone as warm and genuine as her. We found our dream home for sale but didn?t think there was any way we had a chance at getting it, as we were just browsing and not yet prequalified. She worked tirelessly to keep us calm, informed, and to make sure it was ours. What?s more, she mirrored our excitement and joy throughout it all! She showed a great deal of love and respect for our small daughters and always made us feel that we were her top priority. She felt like family from day one. Her incredible expertise, patience, guidance, and kindness truly go above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. She continued to reach out long after closing escrow just to let us know she was here for us. Candice has our highest recommendation - and we are thrilled to be her new neighbors!
Selling your home comes with many emotions. I was scared, nervous, didnt know a thing about all the legalities that came with selling a home, but I was also excited to start my adventure in a new state. I wanted a realtor that I could trust to handle 100% of all aspects. A realtor that when I called with a question or just needed reassuring that everything was going to be ok, Candice was there all the way. With her 25+ years experience she will get you top $$$ for your property. Not only did she sell my home, she also went above and beyond to do research and talk to the realtor I was working with in my new state. She wanted to make sure I was being taken care of honestly and professionally. If this is your first time working with Candice, I can promise you, that you will walk away with a new friend. I love Candice.....and you will too
We have nothing but praises for Candice Signa. Candice helped us purchase our first home. She guided us through the process with kindness and honesty. She made herself extremely available throughout the entire process for any questions or discussions we had. We felt very comfortable working with her and happy with our experience. We highly recommend Candice!
Candice is a fabulous realtor and a wonderful person! I can?t say enough about her attention to detail, enthusiasm and knowledge of the home buying process. She helped us find an amazing home in a very difficult market. We are still very surprised and so pleased that we were able to find just what we were looking for. Candice also helped us through a lengthy mortgage process with a difficult seller. She was always there for us, even during those frustrating moments. We appreciate Candice for her professionalism and for the fun that she interjected into our home purchase.

Candace is a realtor you trust and rely on. She was always available for any questions or concerns we had and returned our messages promptly. She seamlessly guided us through the process to close is escrow on time and without any hiccups. Candace is an expert in her field and also a very good person! She really embodies the Aloha Spirit. Mahalo Candace!
Candice was not only our realtor, she was a friend, a therapist and a mother hen over our transaction from beginning until end. We had to sell our current home and purchase another. We had a very difficult time with the buyers of our current property. Many times I would call Candice in tears and she would talk me off the ledge. She always remain calm and positive throughout the entire transaction. She also has a huge amount of knowledge with regards to the areas in which she work. She recommended contractors, restaurants, Pet Sitters, our home loan people and places for us to stay in the meantime. Every single time I asked Candice a question I received an immediate answer. When showing us property she was incredibly honest. She never tried to force us into a purchase. As a matter of fact with one particular house she pointed out the noise level of the street. I found her to be very genuine and forthright. She was there for me completely. Always returned calls promptly and or texts. She never once left me hanging. I truly believe that without Candice we wouldve never made it through this difficult transaction with the buyers of our property. When beginning to look in the area for a home she sat down with us and asked us exactly what we wanted in a home. She drove us around to numerous areas just to try to get an idea of what we were looking for. She nailed it and we found a beautiful home that had everything we were looking for. I would highly recommend Candice and will recommend her to anyone I know who is buying a home in the future.
Candice listed and sold our home for exactly the price we wanted to receive. She was very responsive and has great knowledge of the local market. She gave us great advice on how to get our home in condition needed to list, took great photos of our home for listing, and staged our home beautifully. Candice was the prefect fit for us and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire home selling process.
Candice was THE BEST realtor we could have asked for! As first time homebuyers, she made the entire process extremely low stress, fluid, and was extremely thorough. I would recommend Candice in a hot second! She is extremely knowledgeable of both real estate verbiage and how the process works, as well as the area! Thank you, Candice, for helping us purchase our first home.
Do yourself a favor and hire Candice! She walked us through a challenging home buying situation while working to sell our home quickly. Her knowledge of the area, relationships with other realtors and experience are invaluable. She is patient, thorough and gives sage advice.
Candice is the most knowledgeable, organized and responsive realtor we have ever had the pleasure of working with! Selling a home can be an extremely stressful experience but thankfully Candice was there every step of the way providing advice and answers to all our questions and put any concern or issue to rest! Candice has many years of experience and her knowledge does not go unnoticed. She knows just what it takes to buy/sell a home. She had 2 offers (over asking) on our property within the first 24 hours of listing (before the photos even uploaded)! She goes above and beyond to make her clients experience smooth and unforgettable. We can not recommend Candice enough and are so grateful for the experience we had selling our home with her!
Candice sold my moms condo within days of us signing up with her. The process was smooth and drama free, and we are 1,500 miles from the condo now. Candice is professional and always ready to help. I highly recommend her!
Working with Candace was like making a new and very helpful friend - one who could be relied upon day and night for guidance and sound advice. As a first time buyer, I need someone just like her. She was willing to explain and re-explain when I couldnt connect all the dots or understand the rationale. Her knowledge is vast, her patience is unwavering, and she is prompt to a fault. She worked with the seller to negotiate a fair price and connected me with reliable parties in the community who could be trusted to help me with various aspects of the purchasing process. Candace made a big, scary, challenging, new experience fun and manageable. She sipped tea and took time to get to know me during the inspection and offered to be there for the appraisal when she was definitely destined for bed instead. I dont know if I should mention that there was a tin of cookies at my door when I came home from work on closing day, but I would have to say that this kind act sweetened the deal.

Candice is an amazing realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Candice was patient with us as we explore ALL of the options. Candice always took time to answer our questions and concerns. We highly recommend working with Candice and will use her services again when the time comes.
Candice is an incredible person, and helped us sell our house just recently. We had some tight dates and deadlines to meet, and Candice met them all! I couldnt have been more happy with her services.
Everything about our experience with Candice was outstanding. She proved to have the knowledge and experience to handle the sale of our home. She was always professional and added a dimension of care, compassion and understanding to all aspects of our real estate transaction. I would highly recommend her to any client needing her services.
Candice is a life saver. Our transaction was ridiculously complex and not for any of the normal complex real estate reasons. Our all cash offer was accepted with a 90 day escrow. The real fun started while in escrow. I can?t even begin to go into detail on the nonesense but I?ll say this; there is no way we would have completed this transaction with out Candice?s vigilance and perseverance.
Candice is absolutely wonderful! She has helped me (and my husband) in the purchase of three homes over the past 20 years. She is an expert in her field but beyond that she has proven to always have our best interest in mind. In our most recent transaction Candice helped us with the purchase of a first time investment property. She has gone so far above and beyond in assisting us with not only the purchase but in guiding us through the process of becoming fist time landlords as well. I can honestly say that I trust Candice like I would a family member.
Candice was a blessing to me and my husband. Being new to the area (and 5 months pregnant) I started off stressed not knowing where how when to buy a house. Candice guided us on our whole home buying journey and made it the most stress free experience. Her knowledge of the central coast is impeccable, her honesty is admirable, and her general demeanor is just so pleasant that I looked forward to seeing her whenever we had to stop into our potential home. She had our back during negotiations and was diligent about checking in with all people involved during the loan and escrow process. I can?t say enough about how wonderful Candice is. She is the best real estate agent. Ever.
When we started our first home purchase we already had a good deal of knowledge, having worked in the mortgage industry for several years. However, being on the "other" side of the deal as a buyer we quickly realized how emotional and complicated it can become! With Candice it was easy to reach out with questions and get immediate answers, and if she wasn't sure she was happy to hunt down what we needed to know. We had a challenging situation that her expertise and professionalism maneuvered beautifully. One of the things I appreciated most about our experience with Candice was her genuine nature, and her care for our family. If we were getting frustrated she would help us remember to reset and recharge. If we wanted to plow ahead and see a million homes on a Saturday, she would line it up and be there...every time! Thanks to her knowledge of the industry, understanding of our unique needs, and expert negotiating skills, we not only were able to walk away from a house that was wrong for us, but we found our dream home and were able to negotiate some extras that sweetened the deal even more. We couldn't have done this without Candice, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else - she is the BEST!

This is my second time using Candice as a realtor, and again she surpasses all expectations. Candice makes you feel like you are her only client, and clearly makes you feel that you are a priority for her. She takes you through the entire buying process step by step, and is always available for further explanations and follow-ups. Candice is extremely knowledgeable about the entire Santa Ynez Valley and their properties. Anyone looking for a realtor, I highly recommend using Candice as I have full confidence that she would work hard for you whether you are selling or buying.
Candice Signa assisted me in in both listing and selling a home and purchasing another home. Her greatest attributes are her knowledge of the area and process along with a can do attitude. After the purchase was equally impressive as her knowledge of the area and local vendors for various household repairs was fantastic and has allowed me to find contractors that were true skilled craft persons. Working with her does not end once the purchase is complete, as I have seen with other agents. She is a great point of reference and makes herself available for all questions and concerns long after the sale. I highly recommend her as an agent!
As a veteran of 35 years in the real estate field as a manager of real estate offices, escrow and title offices, it was my pleasure working with such a professional like Candice Signa. Her attention to detail was amazing. She has incredible knowledge of all aspects of country properties. Her relationships with all important players in the real estate field are extensive and excellent. I give Candice my highest recommendation and shes a really nice and caring person. Kindest regards, David Kerr
Candice has now helped us with four home transactions. Every time she has been outstanding! There seems to be two sides to a Realtor, the professional and the personal. The professional is the competence in real estate practices, laws, etc., the personal is the ability to relate well with people. In our past experience with other Realtors youre hoping to get one of the two but with Candice you clearly get both. Candice clearly knows her stuff and there has never been a time when we doubted that we were clearly in good hands the entire way through our transactions. On the personal side, Candice was not only available at almost any time to answer questions or deal with issues as they came up, but clearly cares about her clients and their families, not just professionally but personally. Candice sold our first CA home in 3 days and our second CA home in just 1 day!!!! If you are new to the area and youre looking for a good Realtor (this was us) or if you have been in the area and would like to work with the best, we would whole heartedly recommend Candice, we think she is great!
Buying and selling is an exhausting experience and I dont know how she does it but Candice is an expert at making things happen, keeping everything going and keeping everyone calm. I would not buy or sell without her and I appreciate her expert knowledge and her kind & caring spirit.
Candice began working with me approximately three years ago. After our initial personal meeting, she began sending listings via e-mail as I lived about four hours away. Every few months we looked at homes and finally this past September, with her assistance we were able to find and purchase the house. With her amazing persistence and expertise, we have our home. She continues to be an important person in helping me adjust to a new community. I cannot thank her enough.
Candice went above and beyond to explain every detail of the buying process to us. She didnt miss a beat! She returned emails, texts and phones quickly - within minutes!! She is amazing and I highly recommend her. I dont plan on moving but if I did I would use her again
Candice was simply amazing. We were new to buying a home and Candice was always available to give us answers. She made the process smooth and even when things were crazy she was there to provide explanations. She goes above and beyond! Thank you
We are so fortunate that Candice is our realtor. We just bought our first new home in Oct 16, and while it was an emotional rollercoaster, Candice was there every step of the way. At the start, she really listened to us and was able to fully understand all that we wanted in a house, even if we werent clear in our explanation. She was always available via text/phone/email to answer our myraid of questions. When we would look at properties, she would point out features and details that we would never have thought of, making our decision process so easy. Once we found our dream house and made our decision to put down an offer, Candice knew exactly how much to bid so that we did not overpay. Once our offer was accepted, we had no idea how confusing and intricate the escrow process is, nor how many people went into the mix. Whenever we felt flustered, Candice was there to explain what was happening and to help fix what was not right. Her incredible experience, patience, and professionalism helped make the impossible possible. WE NOW HAVE A NEW HOME!! Thank you Candice, you are awesome!!!
Candice Signas real estate expertise and knowledge of the Santa Ynez Valley market is outstanding. With over 20 years of experience in local real estate Candice has a deep knowledge of market trends, neighborhoods, schools and community amenities. She excels in providing guidance and support every step of the way from initial consultation to final close. When it was time to sell our rental property Candice handled all aspects with dedication and great attention to detail. We give Candice our highest recommendation.
Words cannot express how thankful we were to have had Candice Signa as our realtor while buying our first home. We stood in awe of her vast knowledge, exceptional experience and professionalism, and most of all her unwavering calm and patience while dealing with us nervous first time home buyers. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you, Candice. You are AWESOME!!! Sincerely, Chris and Leanne Ackler
This year for the fourth time we have called upon Candice to take care of our family and once again she went above and beyond to help us. We challenged her with selling our house and helping us find a home that would work for a multi-generational family combined home and she highly exceeded our expectations. Candice is the perfect blend of personal and professional and does a great job communicating all that we need to know. Everyone we worked with had nothing but positive things to say about Candice, from contractors to realtors and escrow officers. We were thrilled when our house received multiple offers after the first weekend on the market, and she helped us to secure a wonderful home to move into that worked within our budget.
Candice sold my home in 2 weeks. She helped me every step of the way, helped me to declutter, stage, update and paint the home to look its best, and took fantastic photos and posted them on the Internet. She would be a fantastic choice to sell any home.
Candice worked tirelessly during our search for a home. She listened to what we wanted and would throw in some stretches just so we were well informed as to what the market had to offer. She worked well with other professionals in her field during the process. She took the stress off us in the whole process of buying a home, selling a home and moving more than around the corner.
Candice is more than a realtor, she becomes your best friend that will hold your hand during this entire process, she is your cheerleader and most importantly your voice. She has contacted city attorneys, reviewed many contracts, scheduled showings within minutes, scrubbed and vacuumed the floors of the house my son and I now call home. I know we wouldnt not have gotten our home with anyone else. I am so lucky to have had her guide me through this process.
I honestly dont think I coukd have purchased my home without Candice!! She was ALWAYS there to answer ANY question I had, and as a first time home buyer, that was very important to me! I will definitely be calling Candice for my next home or investment property!!
