As the owner of a local home inspection company with over 20 years serving the Santa Barbara…read morecommunity, I've had the opportunity to work with Kyle Richardson and The Richardson Team on hundreds of real estate transactions over the years, and they are among the most knowledgeable and professional real estate teams in Santa Barbara. One of the things that stands out most is the generational depth of experience behind their work. Their understanding of the Santa Barbara market comes from decades of professional stewardship serving local real estate clients, and that depth of knowledge shows in the high-caliber guidance and strategy they bring to each transaction. I've been involved in many of their transactions over the years and have seen firsthand how much they prioritize transparency and truly advocate for their clients. They take the time to ensure buyers and sellers fully understand the condition of a property and the decisions they are making along the way, always advocating for their clients' best interests at every step. The Richardson Team represents the very best of professionalism in our local real estate community. I'm always glad when we have the opportunity to work together and would confidently recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in Santa Barbara. -- Shelby Hendrix HouseMaster Home Inspections

I asked what that meant and he yelled at me saying "I'm not going to do a market analysis for you" three times. Everytime I said "I didn't ask you to". I clarified the third time that I'm a home owner and in the medical industry and do not know what he meant when he said I could to a market analysis. I said I'm not a landlord and do not know what that means. He continued to argue. What a jerk! Literally that was so unnecessary that I never yelp review but this interaction deserves to let renters know these people are unprofessional. So, rude! Way to chase away potential renters willing to pay above market value when a vacancy is available. If he would have stopped talking over me like the arrogant man he was, he would know we are flexible with an open timeline in the next six months. What a fool. Good doing business with you, never.

I cannot say enough positive things about Goodwin & Thyne Properties. From the first meeting at…read moretheir offices I was confident I had made the right choice. I had some legal questions due to a possible foreclosure if the property did not sell quick enough and John Thyne was there to ease my mind. Anthony Bordin met with me, did a home walk, then set me up with the perfect realtor for my condo/area, Stu Morse was attentive, informative and straightforward. Stu knew the area and was well versed in the benefits of the area. The photo's of the condo as well as the amenities looked great! He kept me informed every step of the way. I received an emailed report after each open house as well a personal report from Stu. When offers didn't immediately pour in, he explained my worries away. In the middle of trying to beat the foreclose deadline, my best friend got seriously ill and subsequently passed away. During this time I had let Stu know I was either at the hospital or work so when signatures were needed he came to me. There was a problem during the home inspection so Stu called me to let me know what I had to get done-he paused, then said 'let me handle this for you' and he did. He was a blessing in disguise. When all was said and done I felt as positive as I did the day i walked into their offices. And yes! They were able to hold off the foreclosure and get my property sold!!! i recently ran into Anthony and he asked how things were going with my circumstances. He remembered specifics details and had hoped that all was well. Mind you, this is months later and he still remembered! As with most busy people, we procrastinate about getting some back burner items done. Seeing him reminded me that i had wanted to write a review about this fantastic real estate company, its staff, and mainly Stu Morse.
