Maureen McDermut

This is the second Santa Barbara house that Maureen has sold for us. The success and ease of the first sale left us with no doubt that we would use her for selling our current home. At our first meeting it was clear that she had already researched the aEUR~comps for our area, understood the current market and was ready to work with us to price the house appropriately. Within a few days of that introductory meeting, Maureen had scheduled a staging crew and professional photographer to get the publicity ball rolling. The house was presented at its best for on-line showings (on its own website) as well as in the local newspapers. Information about the home was also widely shared with agents at all of the local real estate firms. As a result, there were numerous in-house showings where Maureen listened to the potential buyers needs and then emphasized the homes attributes to meet them. It should be noted that Maureen did a wonderful job scheduling the showings back-to-back to minimize the disruption to our schedules. When a contract was received, Maureens negotiation skills were evident, insuring that the sale price and conditions were what we wanted and there were no issues getting to a 14 day close.

Our family had an excellent experience working with Maureen on a very complex situation. I was representing my 97 year old Dad in the sale of his home after the death of his wife during the COVID pandemic. Maureen was expert in listening to issues arising from conficts with the step-family and keeping the process moving forward. I was coordinating the upgrade and repair project from the Bay Area. Maureen set up a busy day of meetings with local vendors and I hired DJ Wetmore to do the landscaping and the painting. He became our project manager, and with Maureen, her staff, and the stagers, we finished the project in record time. Maureen held a weekend of showings and we received 4 good offers. After a 14 day escrow, we closed with a price well over asking. I highly recommend Maureen.

Maureen is an excellent agent who comes with wisdom from years of experience. She represented us as the selling agent on a property we sold during the COVID-19 shut down. It was emotional and difficult for us, but Maureen provided us with the confidence and the results that lead to a successful sale of the property. If you want an agent who will keep you calm, does her research and provides results hire Maureen McDermut.

We had a fantastic experience working with Maureen. She worked with us on both a purchase and sale simultaneously, navigating two complex transactions seamlessly and getting us a great result across both. She proved to be a great listener in making sure we achieved our needs, and a savvy negotiator in getting us the best possible value for our home. Her depth of experience was very valuable through our process, and she has a great sense of humor to boot! We would wholeheartedly recommend anyone in the Santa Barbara area to consider working with Maureen.

Maureen listens to her clients and puts their wishes and timelines first. She is always attentive and quickly learned my affinities. She is knowledgeable about pricing, neighborhood pros and cons and provides wise counsel. I went through several changes in what I was looking for. Maureen was so understanding and responsive. She devoted entire days to me and even checked out opportunities ahead. In this way I saved countless hours by not wasting time on non-starters. On top of it all, Maureen is so much fun that the home search is truly enjoyable. Maureen is a superlative realtor whose reputation and energy precede her.

Maureen is the definition of a professional. Honest, responsive, and intelligent, Maureen handled the sale of property that had been in our family for 54 years. I could not have asked for a better experience in selling a treasured property and I would not hesitate to work with Maureen again. If you are looking to buy, sell or lease property in Santa Barbara, I don't know why you'd go to anyone else.
