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

The staff immediately put together a superb campaign, hiring drone operators and photographers to supplement their in-house graphic and marketing experts. For over a year, Gary fielded and winnowed dozens of prospectives before bringing in a qualified buyer. Despite numerous complex financing hurdles in this tumultuous market, he was able to structure a deal that ended with me being paid off early. Gary responded immediately to all parties through literally hundreds of communications , answering and returning calls and emails in the most professional manner. His always calm and respectful attitude made the difference. Highly recommended.

Skyline Property Management: Six Stars - They Deliver!…read more Several years ago, as neophytes to being 'landlords', we took the recommendation of a real estate agent/friend and hired Skyline. Robert & Christy walked us through what we needed to do to prepare our rental, advised us on pricing, advertised and screened applicants for us, negotiated the rental contract and then managed the property once tenants were 'in'. They were professional, thorough and made the entire process EASY! Recently we have also seen Skyline in action from the renter's perspective when our son contacted them about an apartment they were managing. Again, Skyline's Robert & Christy were the consummate professionals. They put my son at ease and were straightforward about the process, the documents they needed, and their expectations once my son qualified for the rental. They have been quick to respond to needed repairs and are always available to answer questions. They are compassionate people who really enjoy their work! I recommend Skyline Property Management to landlords and renters. They are the real deal!

They never took more than a day to respond. When the heater burned out, they switched it out the next day. The apartment was better than most places in IV, and the price was around the same because internet and cable was included in the rent. They also returned pretty much all of the security deposit.
