Buying or Selling – Choosing the Right Realtor

Over the last 30 years, our average buyer and seller representation has been closely split at 60% sellers/40% buyers. Most top agents represent sellers at 70-80%. 

As Santa Barbara and Goleta real estate agents, we want to explain why these statistics are very important when choosing an agent – you want realtors who often represent either side of the transaction as this makes finding the right home, or the right buyer, that much easier, gleaning a keen awareness of changes and nuances in home trends and market demands from both perspectives.

• Because we work with buyers day-in and day-out, it is second nature to help identify the needs of a buyer during a showing of one of our listings. We are quick to identify objections and find opportunities as we personally tour our listings with prospective buyers.

• We are full service listing agents and are present for every showing, unlike our competition, who many times have their assistants do the showings. Our team of photographers, stagers, repair people and landscapers make the listing transition easy.

Beyond Real Estate

Honesty, trust, and integrity:

• Our buyers know that we always have their back. It’s not unusual for us to try to talk them out of a purchase if we feel it is counterintuitive to what they have said they wanted.

• Our sellers know we have a vast nationwide network and our diligence in vetting prospective buyers will ensure that each property is exposed and represented in the highest light both visually and professionally. 

Our team of photographers, stagers, and repair people make the listing transition easy. We help your buyers connect to local businesses and introduce them to the lifestyle of Summerland where we are members.

As Santa Barbara and Goleta real estate agents, we answer every phone call and pre-qualify every buyer. We take time to drive buyers down to the Hope Ranch beach through its private access gates and identify the bucolic trails that meander throughout the ranch.
