David is incredibly professional and goes the extra mile in every step of the real estate process. We worked with him to purchase a new home and sell our old house in SB. David is also very well connected in SB, and this really helps in a town that values local connections so much. I would highly recommend David and his team and will work with him again if there ever is a "next time".

If you're buying your first home, need a mortgage, and still want to stay competitive in the…read moreincredibly tight Santa Barbara/Goleta housing market, look no further than Kendrick. Kendrick is exceptionally responsive, thorough, and knowledgeable about the local market. He's also very well connected with other agents, which proved to be a huge advantage throughout our home search. Finding a home in the $1-1.3 million price range is highly competitive, but Kendrick helped us secure a beautiful home without spending months searching. His relationships, market knowledge, and offer strategy were instrumental in putting together a competitive offer that was accepted within a day of the home hitting the market. What we appreciated most was that he always had our best interests in mind. If he noticed issues with a property, he pointed them out. If he felt a home was overpriced, he told us honestly instead of encouraging us to overpay. At no point did we feel pressured to make an offer. We always felt he was helping us make the right decision. Working together with our mortgage advisor, Kendrick helped us navigate the entire process seamlessly. From our accepted offer to closing, we completed everything in less than 20 days. We highly recommend Kendrick to anyone looking to buy a home in the Santa Barbara or Goleta area.

Kendrick Guehr has consistently proven himself one of the most professional, attentive, and…read moredetail-oriented real estate agents I've had the pleasure to work with over the years. As a home inspector and owner of the largest home inspection company in Santa Barbara, I am involved in a high volume of real estate transactions, and the quality of the agent makes a noticeable difference in how smoothly a deal moves from listing to closing. Kendrick is exceptionally proactive and thorough. He consistently reviews inspection reports, anticipates potential issues early, and works closely with all parties to ensure nothing is overlooked. From coordinating access and timelines to following up on documentation and details, he stays ahead of the issues that commonly delay real estate transactions. What truly sets Kendrick apart is his team of trusted contractors and handymen. When repairs or improvements are needed, Kendrick is able to mobilize his team at rocket speed, getting work completed efficiently and correctly, often faster than I've seen any other agent accomplish. This level of responsiveness and execution is rare and makes a significant difference in keeping escrows on track. Having worked with countless real estate agents throughout my career, Kendrick Guehr is someone I trust and highly recommend to anyone buying or selling real estate in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta or Hope Ranch. His professionalism, organization, and ability to get things done quickly truly set him apart in the local real estate market.

Ali Evans is the absolute BEST! We would not have found our beautiful house in Goleta without her…read more We were conducting our house search from Los Angeles, and we relied on Ali to provide information about neighborhoods and street noise for different houses on the market. Ali previewed properties for us, either using Facetime from the property or taking a series of narrated videos for us. With every house she saw or we drove up to see, Ali would ask for our feedback - what we liked, what we didn't like - so she could learn about our specific needs and wants in a new house. And then, 8 months into the process, when we happened to be up in the area for a little getaway, Ali discovered a house about to go on the market in one of our target neighborhoods in Goleta. She was able to get us in to see it the same day, advised us through the offer process, and helped us buy our new home. Ali was so responsive during the whole process, always responding quickly to texts, calls, and emails. When things got overwhelming as we were in escrow in Goleta and putting our house on the market in LA, Ali jumped in and took things off our plate - making phone calls, scheduling appointments, taking pictures and videos for insurance, etc. She has tons of resources in the local area (inspectors, insurance agents, contractors), and she has stayed in touch with us even after closing escrow. We highly recommend Ali as a realtor! She really wanted us to find the right house, not just a house, and we never felt any pressure to put an offer in on something that wasn't right. We are so happy in our new home!

While selling a house is a stressful process, selling it from another town is even more stressful, but Ali and Lauren made the process smooth and easy. A lot of the reviews for Ali & her team are from home buyers so I wanted to share my experience as a home seller with Ali. She took the lead in a way that was incredibly supportive for an out of town seller, gave guidance and supporting data on how to price the home, and was integral in getting the house to present in the best light. She and her team are great communicators, always answered all questions quickly and were really kind and professional throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a trusted hard working realtor who gets the job done with a smile, Ali and her team are for you!

Alisa is someone who has all the qualities you need in a realtor like strong market knowledge, negotiation strategy, and attention-to-detail, as well as people skills that we really appreciated like being patient, transparent, and kind. She was patient and transparent throughout the process. She patiently listened to us when we were flooding her with first-time buyers questions, never pressured us to make decisions, and remained supportive during a particularly long lending process with our chosen lender. We went to at least five open houses with her, and for each she pointed out both the strong points as well as potential downsides. It always felt like she was genuinely representing our interests rather than pushing us to close a sale. Her attention-to-detail and organization really stood out during the escrow and document signing process. Despite going through a drawn out escrow process (due to issues with the property) and having to sign so many documents, we never felt overwhelmed. She gave us a proper timeline of things, explained each step along the way, and gave us only a few things to do at each stage. This made us very relaxed and in control during the whole process. We couldn't recommend her highly enough!
