About Stan Tabler

THE FIVE KEYS Beginning his real estate career in 1980 with a "Rookie of the Year" award, Stan was named his Santa Barbara firm's "Top Dollar Associate" just five years later. He was consistently among the upper 1% of Coldwell Banker agents nationwide and was a three-time recipient of the firm's "Top 100" honor. Stan is excited to now be associated with Compass, a technology-driven real estate company which is now nationwide. That ongoing, uninterrupted success is commendable, but it is the keys to that success that are important to Stan's clients and define him as a respected and successful real estate professional. Those keys are his commitment to untiring communication and service, masterful marketing and negotiation skills resulting from extensive experience and research, a superior ability to anticipate problems and solve them, and unsurpassed ethics and professionalism. Stan's clients also value his way of listening to their goals, objectives and concerns, which he then uses to create an honest, realistic plan that will alleviate any concerns and allow the most efficient realization of those goals and objectives. THE FIVE CREDENTIALS In addition to Stan's college degrees in Business and Environmental Studies, and the Young Californian Medal for Bravery he received as a high school student after pulling an elderly man from a burning car, there are several prestigious credentials he has earned in order to better serve his clients. Within three years of obtaining his real estate license, he went on to gain a Real Estate Broker accreditation. Subsequently, he graduated from the Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) and earned the coveted Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation and the Green Designation. Fewer than 6% of agents nationwide have earned the right to use all those titles. He has also received the respected title Architectural Properties Specialist for his focus on selling distinctive homes. Stan considers those and his many other honors and achievements to be vital in his ongoing commitment to provide his clients the best possible representation in their quest to buy or sell their dream properties. THE PREPARATION Although Stan grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, he spent most summers and holidays living in Yosemite National Park where his mother worked. After high school, he spent even more time in Yosemite where he worked to pay for college, developed a passion for rock climbing and remained for five years after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Environmental Studies. During those formative years, he learned the value of enthusiasm, effort, perseverance and hard work. Subsequently, Stan moved to Santa Cruz where he earned his Realtor's license and began his real estate career with one of the largest firms in the Santa Cruz-San Jose area. Within three years, he had gained his Real Estate Broker license and was selling homes while operating a property management company. Falling in love with California's Central Coast while attending the University of California at Santa Barbara, Stan ultimately made "The American Riviera" his home. He considers its natural beauty and moderate climate to be the perfect setting for enjoying his love of hiking, camping, jogging, tennis, and car shows. Stan remains one of Santa Barbara's most successful and respected real estate professionals. It is no wonder that Stan was named Realtor of the Year in 2015!

I've known him for close to a decade and I can safely say Stan is absolutely the best real estate agent I have ever had the privilege of working with. He is always willing to go the extra mile to help you find the right home for you and your family. He has an incredible amount of knowledge about real estate and the greater SB area. He always maintains an extremely polite demeanor, even when dealing with difficult parties on the other side of a transaction. I cannot recommend Stan enough!

I worked with Stan beginning in 2016. Since then he's represented me in four transactions in Santa Barbara. Over the years I've worked with quite a number of realtors in both Washington and California and Stan is far and away the best. His decades of experience in the Santa Barbara and Goleta markets bear fruit when one needs accurate and honest assessments of property condition, neighborhoods and valuation. Stan is detail oriented well beyond what a buyer or seller may reasonably expect. His local resource connections run deep: contractors, landscapers, inspectors, pest control, handymen. In all four of my transactions he was able to pull them in precisely when and where needed. If you're planning a residential purchase or sale in the Santa Barbara or Goleta areas I highly recommend you contact Stan Tabler!

I've known Stan Tabler since 2002, when he helped my wife and me purchase our home. More recently, in 2022, he helped me purchase a condo for my parents. I couldn't be happier with Stan's service as a realtor. He makes everything easy for you through every step of the process. In addition to helping us find the properties and completing the necessary paperwork, he was also super helpful in scheduling all the necessary inspections, etc.. In some cases, he met with the inspectors by himself, when I couldn't get away from work. He also helped me to find agents to sell my parents old home, which is located over 300 miles away, and pointed me toward contractors to fix some of the issues with my parents' new condo: installation of a central heat pump unit, electrical repairs and some pest remediation work. Stan is always very quick to respond to communications, whether they come via phone, text or email. In my experience, it was very unusual not to hear back from him within minutes. Even when he was on vacation, he would get back to me quickly. Over the last 20 years, I have contacted Stan several times for recommendations for contractors to help out with repairs/renovations at our home and other questions somewhat related to real estate. He has always been happy to help out, even when he has no obligation or financial incentive to do so. I will absolutely be using Stan for any future real estate needs that I have and I highly recommend him to everybody else as well. I would be very surprised if there is a better realtor in the Santa Barbara/Goleta area than Stan Tabler.

We had a great working relationship with Stan. Buying a house in Santa Barbara is not the easiest, especially when you do not live in the area. Stan would go to view available houses with his trusted camera and take videos for us. He never pressured us, and when the time can to make an offer on a house, Stan was an awesome negotiator. Once in escrow, Stan went above and beyond to make sure everything went as seamless as possible. After we closed, Stan took care of getting of everything ready for us to move in as we were still out of town. We definitely recommend Stan for any real estate transaction.
