Where do I begin? We chose Lorie based on a personal recommendation, and we can't imagine a better experience. She was professional, personable, prompt, and every other positive trait you could desire, from first phone call to closing. And beyond! She's continued to help and advise us on any number of questions, and we feel like we've found an invaluable advisor -- and friend -- for life. All of which is even more impressive when you take into account that our budget certainly wasn't as high as some of her other clients. Despite that, she never made us feel like we were on her back burner in terms of her time and attention. Lorie didn't just want to help us find a house; she wanted to help us find the PERFECT house, based on (in our case) a wish list that was very specific and somewhat unusual. Can you imagine making an offer on a house while you're in Mexico City for a wedding? We couldn't either, but with Lorie at the helm back in Santa Barbara, we did it. And thanks to her experience and her cool, calm and collected vibe, it was no big deal. Although it actually WAS a pretty big deal -- because we got the house!

Beth was everything we were looking for in an agent to represent us in the purchase of a home in Santa Barbara. She was very knowledgeable about the market climate and the variety of neighborhoods that we considered. She never made us feel pressured despite the hot sellers market, but at the same time she had a strong grasp of what it would take to win a bid. She was extremely responsive, usually getting back to us in less than an hour. And last, but certainly not least, she is a very kind and likable person and just a pleasure to work with.

This was my first time working with Chris in a real estate transaction. I have been through this process with 3 homes and a few very large business leases. This particular escrow of a commercial store, house and ranch all in one was far more complicated than anything I have ever been part of. Chris handled every stage of it with professionalism, patience and speed as we needed to get the deal closed. After endless steps to close something with this many moving parts, I do not know how we could have done it with out him. Thank you Chris and thank you to your amazing team!

What a great experience working with Chris on a one of a kind property with many unknowns. He did an amazing job coordinating surveyors, geologists, legal, planners, etc to take us from something that felt right, to something we know was right. Thanks for all the hard work and great communication. This was much more than making and offer and signing some docs, couldn't have done it without you Chris!

Working with Beth was an absolute dream. Our purchase was very complicated, involved a 1031 exchange, several twists and turns in the timing and purchase. Beth was always calm and thoughtful. Her advise and patience was invaluable throughout the purchase. We truly felt she had our best interest in mind and not just the sale. Beth is very knowledgeable in the Santa Barbara market place. It was key in our securing a very special property. We highly recommend Beth to everyone who wants an amazing real estate agent!

Jacob is a phenomenal agent and I would recommend him to anybody on either side of the transaction. Not only did he sell our house above asking within one week of listing, he made the closing process simple, easy and quick. Everything went extremely smoothly and we are so happy we chose to work with him.What really sets him apart is that he's a "good news" guy -- he knows how stressful the process of selling or buying a house can be, and he does everything he can to make sure he only takes away stress and doesn't add any. He helped us find and coordinate with professionals to address the issues we needed to, he helped us clear things out of the house when it was time, and he took care of us extremely well the whole time. Jacob is a great person and an excellent agent. I recommend him wholeheartedly!

Growing up in a real estate family I've had the benefit of being around top realtors my whole life and I feel like I'm an expert in identifying a good realtor from a great one. Elisa is a GREAT REALTOR! Being an active real estate investor in the area I've had the opportunity to meet and converse with many of the most high profile realtors around over the years and I can say without a doubt that Elisa belongs right there with the best of the best. Her background in law, running her own business and being a mom gives her a unique perspective that set her apart. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

We lucked out in finding Beth. We had been watching the market for almost two years and Beth was patiently there for us whenever we had questions - never rushing us but helpfully and consistently checking in.When we finally decided to make a move we suddenly had high urgency and Beth was instantly at the ready. She met with us, clearly laid out the process, and helped us build a relationship with the seller's agent. Beth has an incredible sense for the market and her guesstimate of the final sales price was spot on. She has her own "secret sauce" for estimating and it totally works! We got the one house we really wanted on the first try.I've already recommended Beth to two friends looking for a house and I can't say enough good things about her.

Beth was a wonderful partner in our search to relocate to Santa Barbara from San Diego. She had an instinctive talent to know when to engage and when to leave us to process things on our own. This skill was particularly helpful as we were dealing with very challenging personal issues at the same time we were planning our move. It meant a lot to us that she was intuitive, caring and helpful.During the search process, Beth never tried to steer us to or away from any properties, so she showed us houses that she knew wouldn't be just right for us, but she let us reach our own conclusions. In the end, we were able to identify a property through a friend that wasn't yet on the market. Once we started to pursue the house we ultimately bought, Beth was invaluable to the process. First, she got us into the house before anyone else even knew it was going on the market. She then worked with the sellers agent to find a suitable price and terms for our purchase. Once these were set, Beth arranged for all the inspections on the same afternoon and let us conclude the process with ease and efficiency. Subsequent to making the deal, Beth has continued to be a very effective intermediary with the seller and her agent to make the deal go smoothly.We couldn't be happier with Beth's part in this process, and her knowledge, effectiveness, and kindness. We're fans for sure!

From our first meeting with Chris my husband and I were impressed with his positive outlook and ability to assess our needs - sell a house in Los Angeles, purchase a house in Santa Barbara and sell a condo in Santa Barbara. Lots of layers of timing, organizing, learning where to even start the entire process and Chris was on top of it all! He steered our ship effortlessly. Any time we had questions or concerns, he was very responsive. If he hadnt heard from us, he was sure to contact us to see how we were doing and ask if we had any questions. He has tirelessly worked on our behalf and looked after our best interests. Even after we purchased our home he continued to help us navigate our way through remodeling/construction needs we had. He was always attentive and made us a great deal with the purchase of our new home. He is a treasure!
