We bought a single-family home in Goleta, CA in the spring of 2021.Our experience working with Stan was outstanding! His work style is impeccable. Stan is an expert in what he does, very resourceful and a pleasure to work with. And most importantly Stan wants you to be happy with your new home!It took six weeks from the time we started working with Stan to the time we closed on our house. Within that short time, we were able to tour multiple houses, develop a clear understanding of the market, align financing, get an offer accepted, and close in a record time. I am not sure if it gets better than that in the spring of 2021.We bought a house while living out of town. Stan continued to care for our house for weeks after the closing. He helped with contractors, checked on work, made sure everything is taken care of until we moved in, even beyond.We would not work with anyone else but Stan if we had to in the future.

I recently used Stan to purchase a home (condo) in West Beach. Years ago, Stan listed a home for me in Hope Ranch. In both transactions, Stan was prepared, self directed to get the job done, and extremely professional. I would not have used Stan a second time if I did not feel that he would do a thorough and professional job in representing me in my purchase. I can recommend Stan without hesitation and will use him yet again in the future on additional transactions.

Stan is the best real estate agent in Santa Barbara, bar none. He knows the market, the sellers and the buyers. He listed and sold for us 475 Woodley Road for over $5 million. During 2020 to 2021, during the pandemic, he helped with two other private non listed sales for over $3 million and $4 million, respectively. We wouldn't use anyone else.

Purchasing a home in Santa Barbara is not a trivial financial investment. You need the support of someone who is current on the local laws and practices, has a deep understanding of the local market, and an keen eye for detail. You need a highly experienced professional who takes their work seriously to help you avoid making mistakes. Stan Tabler is that professional. Stan provided thoughtful insight throughout our home buying process. There is nothing that escapes his eagle eye. I credit his skillful negotiation with the fact that we are now about to move into our dream home. Stan also has the best network of craftsmen and tradespeople I've met. Stan will NEVER push you to go see houses that are out of your price range to try to tempt you to go beyond your budget. He will NEVER guilt you about not hiring his friends/associates (if you ask, he'll give you a reference, but he won't push people on you). He will NEVER push you to go beyond what you're comfortable with on a bid - he'll help you focus on what the house is worth to YOU. Stan's ethics are impeccable and his work ethic is unparalleled. He is the person you want at your side when making the biggest decisions of your life.

I had a great experience working with Stan. I had a modest budget and a tight time frame. I was living out of the area, so I also had a limited knowledge of the local market. Stan helped me find the perfect place to meet my needs and interests, and more importantly he helped me make a competitive offer and negotiate effectively. I expected that Stan's work was done when my offer was accepted, but he continued to provide me with support by connecting me to high quality vendors to complete my desired improvements. I had a wonderful experience working with him and I recommend him without reservation.

Stan was wonderful. We had a bit of an issue with a realtor and Stan came in and saved the day. His knowledge, demeanor, responsiveness, care, and honesty were exactly what we needed in the moment, and all brought a great sense of relief and ease to the process. As a realtor, excellent. As a human being, phenomenal.

Since 1997 Stan has represented us in 9 buy or sell real estate transactions in Santa Barbara. The most recent two being last January. My wife and I are both attorneys and my wife is also a licensed real estate broker in both Colorado and California (although she always worked as an attorney, not a broker). We have also done 31 buy or sell real estate transactions in Colorado (homes, second homes and investment properties) and have worked with good and very good brokers. Thus, we have a lot of experience to call upon in evaluating Stan and Stan is by far the best broker that we have worked with. First, Stan has an excellent knowledge of the market and great relations with other brokers. We were able to buy two properties before they even came on the market, because Stan knew that they were going to come on the market. With Stan's advice we have always gotten top dollars for properties that we have sold and are confident that we have not over paid for those that we have purchased. Secondly, we appreciate Stan's attention to detail, especially because most of these transactions have closed when we were in Colorado. It is not just his attention to detail, but the fact that he handles all the details (including details on loans that we have taken out to close) and we don't have to. Third, as a trial attorney who negotiated for a living for 35 years and has taught negotiation strategies I would give Stan an A+ for his negotiating abilities. I have always felt comfortable letting Stan take the lead in negotiating for us. We highly recommend Stan!

Stan is awesome! We have worked with him on multiple transactions and recommend him to all our friends.This year he helped us fixup, market, and sell our current home. He also took us to numerous properties, including several trips to a corporate development where he knew he would not get a commission. He helped us locate our dream property before it was ever publicly listed, negotiated it to a price we were happy with, and even reviewed all the architectural plans to advise on the little things (extra outlets, night time lighting, sprinkler heads, aEUR|) wed want.He makes all the paper work easy. He knows everyone in town. He is honest and easy to work with. He kept things calm and stress free, even when unexpected situations come up. With Stan, you can tell he truly wants to find you a home that you and your family will be happy in, and not just make a quick sale. Stan is a great guy!

Stan has represented us in the purchase and sale of four residential properties. Stan loves his work, and goes far beyond what would be ordinarily expected of a real estate agent. He is meticulous, proactive, and forward thinking in his approach; exhibits exceptional knowledge of the local market; demonstrates great integrity; and genuinely listens to a clients thoughts and concerns. We cannot think anyone who could have been more professional and competent, and would unhesitatingly recommend him with the highest praise and without qualification.

Stan helped me buy an investment property through a 1031 tax exchange in Santa Barbara. Since I live in Brooklyn, I relied on him for everything. He did video walk throughs and gave me thorough reports of each property. When I was ready to place an offer, he provided me with a comparable sales report so I was confident my offer was an informed one. After accepted, he handled all of the inspections and obtained professional quotes so that we were able to receive some credits. The biggest win here was a check for a costly sewer line that needed replacing. After closing, he recommended an excellent contractor, gardener, electrician, pest control service and more. Once ready, he secured great tenants who are loving living there. I highly recommend Stan and his team of professionals for all of your real estate needs.
