Alisa Pepper

We didn't really know what we wanted when we made the decision to move back to Santa Barbara. Alisa was very patient as we changed our home criteria many times and she helped us find a place we're very happy with. Alisa went to many properties for us as we house hunted from another state. When we planned a trip to view houses in-person, she prepared by going to many of them ahead of our visit. She is extremely professional yet very kind. We are so grateful our friends recommended Alisa to us and we definitely recommend her as well! She will go above and beyond and you will not be disappointed if you choose to work with her!

We were lucky to have Alisa Pepper as our realtor, particularly as first-time home buyers in a difficult market like Santa Barbara. 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!

After working with Alisa, there is no doubt in my mind that if I ever have another real estate transaction, I will call her first. From beginning to end, the process of selling a home was seamless and handled with complete professionalism, attention to detail, and attentiveness to our concerns. I am so impressed with Alisa and really grateful for having gotten to work with her!

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Alisa Pepper with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in Santa Barbara, California as an exceptional real estate agent for your home selling journey. Alisa recently guided my wife and I through the sale of our home at 184 El Sueno Rd in Santa Barbara and the experience was outstanding. Alisa was professional, friendly, and always answered our questions, no matter how complicated they were. My wife and I couldn’t decide on an agent but something told us Alisa would be the best person to manage the sale of our house. From the outset, Alisa showed incredible knowledge of the local market and neighborhood and offered invaluable insights, ensuring we understood property values and market trends. We’re so glad we turned to Alisa and asked her to be our realtor. From staging advice to professional photography, to the use of a drone, she managed everything with expertise. Additionally, she provided a list of trusted professionals and coordinated with the various contractors needed when it came to completing any inspections and repairs to prepare our house for sale. Her hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off, our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. After we put our house on the market, we had five offers within nine days. In less than two weeks we were able to put our house under contract at 7% ABOVE the asking price thanks to Alisa’s excellent marketing and negotiation skills (it felt good to have people trying to outbid each other over our asking price). Furthermore, her ability to explain and simplify the closing documents to us was invaluable. Alisa’s help didn’t stop there because after we closed on our house we moved to Texas and she continued to help us with questions about the purchase of a new home. We can’t recommend her enough!

I’ve never seen an agent go so far above and beyond and work with such integrity as Alisa. I feel truly fortunate she was recommended to me by friends that had similar experiences. It is clear Alisa truly cares, first and foremost, to put you in the right home…not to simply buy or sell. She is extraordinarily competent and caring. If you want an agent who is thoughtful, knowledgeable, resourceful, and positive - you can do no wrong choosing Alisa.

Alisa Pepper had been highly recommended by friends and it immediately became clear why. She is thoughtful, thorough, enormously helpful, responsive, very easy to communicate with, and extremely insightful about the market. Most importantly, she truly listens to your needs and enthusiastically serves them without any kind of agenda, except for us to find exactly what we were looking for. She was a pleasure to spend time with, and she helped us identify and acquire our dream home. We loved working with Alisa, and her fantastic partner Bill, and hope others are blessed with the same opportunity.
