Karen Spechler

These lovely ladies were so patient, professional, and honest. My guess- theyre one of the best in all of Santa Barbara when it comes to real estate. And boy, do they know their stuff! Especially for those of us new to CA ownership, they will walk you through the many steps it takes to close on an offer, from the type of inspections one would need( and they have a long list of people they can refer you to, if necessary), to working with a title company, to how to address unexpected costs/ repairs that might be needed.Highly recommend!

Very friendly and patient in answering our questions. Although we decided to wait for three weeks until my tenant moved out for a better showing, once that happened, my unit sold with a week!

We received newsletter from Karen every quarter since we moved into our home years ago. Her knowledge and professionalism are truly impressive. When it's time to sell our home we knew no agent can beat her. Karen and Erin together literally walked us through every step of the process. They are always there to answer our questions and help us communicate with the buyers. Their judgement and instinct of the market are simply superb! The whole process from listing to closing went smoothly because of them. We are really impressed by their knowledge, responsiveness, and ability to give great advice.

We are so happy that we had Erin as our realtor! We were new to the area, and she searched all over with us to find our home. We got a place that fit and matched everything that we wanted. Not only that, but she also helped us with general knowledge as first time home buyers. She was a built in friend through the process. Highly recommend Spechler and Beck!

Karen & Erin are the best agents! They are highly knowledgeable, experienced, informative and available. I really appreciated how well they listened to our needs, were respectful, but also able to give us solid advice. They were both really easy to reach, quick to respond, and handled all aspects of our sale with grace & ease. It was obvious to both my husband and myself that their number one goal was to be sure we were happy and taken of, and they succeeded. We sold our home in record time, with little or no complications or issues.We highly recommend Spechler & Beck Real Estate Group for any and all aspects of House purchase or sales and would use them again for sure!

Erin Beck, always upbeat, always available to help, always delightfully and proactively guiding you through each little step of the process, is always going to be a great choice for your real estate agent. You won't be sorry.Her partner Karen Spechler also deserves high praise. I call Karen Spechler and Erin Beck the Dynamic Duo. Karen Spechler's vast knowlege of real estate from around 40 years of experience can be relied upon. Yet, when Karen worked with she made it all feel fresh and interesting. And... she plays the cello... Omg what an interesting person to work with.

We were first time home buyers and would not have been able to wade through this unknown without Erin's help. We were always a bit hesitant to make that first offer, but Erin was incredibly patient with us and we never felt pressured into anything. And after the offer was made, Erin was a huge help understanding the contracts, negotiations, deadlines, amazing communication with sellers, and keeping us calm throughout. Erin's honest and knowledgeable advice was always welcome. Thanks Erin!

We have worked with Karen on several occasions as both the buyer and seller. Karen has a keen understanding of the Santa Barbara market and works to ensure her clients interests are fully represented. When we purchased outside the area Karen recommended an agent, but continued to check in and offer help as needed. When with buying or selling in Santa Barbara, Karen is the best!

Karen was wonderful to work with. From the start I told her what I was interested in and she took me to two properties that she knew I'd like. I bought the second one! During negotiations Karen helped my get the best buy possible. She knows when to give and take- as I made a small concession that allowed the buyer to accept my offer. Karen also allowed me to view the property many times even after the offer was accepted- which helped me line up contractors, furniture size, etc...That was much appreciated. Erin worked in the background for me making sure I was accurate in my paperwork and keeping me within contingency periods- a very important role. I love my new home, but if I need another, I'm calling Karen and Erin.

We have worked with Karen before and I'm sure we will again. She knows real estate in the Santa Barbara area as well as anyone in town. Erin was also very helpful during the process, although we worked more with Karen. If you need a professional who can find you the right property, you can trust Karen and Erin.
