Best realtor and person we could have ever found!!!

Jeff Oien is not only the best realtor we could have found to help sell my mother’s home—he is also an extraordinary person. Jeff became a true gift in our lives, both professionally and personally. He sold my 90-year-old mother’s home in about a month. While we joked that it might have been partly divine intervention, I know it was truly Jeff. His interpersonal skills, deep knowledge of San Vicente Mobile Home Park, and extensive real estate experience made this sale possible. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he did for my mother, myself, and our family. We are forever grateful to Jeff.

Absolutely the best!

I've known Jeff Oien in the Santa Barbara Real Estate community for many years, but never had a chance to work with him until I sold my manufactured home. I chose Jeff as my listing agent. Jeff provided me with valuable insights as to what I could expect and his knowledge of manufactured homes is unsurpassed. Jeff's knowledge allowed him to price my home at exactly the right price, which we got full price! Thank you, Jeff!

Highest Level of Professionalism, Customer Service and Ethical Standards

I worked with Jeff Oien and Garrett McCaw as a team on the sale of our long-time family home. I initially engaged with them ahead of being ready to sell the home, as I had planned some improvements prior to deciding to list the home. From the outset, Jeff and Garrett were very responsive to my questions, and they willingly provided input as to whether my planned improvements would provide the highest return. They never put on a hard sell to get the listing or pushed me for a date as to when I might be ready to list. When I did decide to list with them, I received the highest level of customer service and support. Jeff and Garrett are professional, honest and knowledgeable about the market, and they have the highest ethical standards. They have a deep understanding of the intricacies of a transaction and were calm and pragmatic throughout. Additionally, they put together a fantastic narrated video presentation of the property that helped sell it. The results were immediate: we sold the home quickly, receiving multiple offers. In addition to being exceptionally competent and trustworthy, Jeff and Garrett are highly enjoyable to work with.

Excellent beyond description. Could not have been better.

Jeff Oien is an excellent, trustworthy, problem-solving, knowledgeable agent. I doubt that anyone else could have sold the space I owned on Cacique St any faster or at a better price. He knows the local market from long time experience and his professionalism and tactical skill is beyond comparison. He was helpful from the beginning by finding people to remove the contents of the house and working with the Park Management to follow their rules and regulations. He also helped locate the right people to do repairs and kept a close watch on the place while it was empty so that no harm could come to it. He's quick yet thorough and provides detailed advice as necessary. I could not have asked for more.

A True Gem

Jeff was recommended to me via word of mouth and I'm so glad I took the suggestion. He truly went above and beyond for us with selling our home! Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable and communicative throughout the entire process - from preparing the property, to staging, and negotiation of offers. I truly appreciate all of his support, he is a true gem in his field. Don't think twice - just choose him and you won't be disappointed.

Jeff - excels in all areas - knowledgeable, professional, all wrapped in excellent service.

Jeff represented me in three residential property sales in past 4 years, including a condominium rental, a personal residence of 30 plus years, and an estate sale of a family home. In each transaction he provided an extremely in-depth market analysis before pricing, a pre-marketing plan including several inspections, so every potential buyer had full details on the property they were considering, and then personally handled the open houses and negotiations. His strategies were adjusted for each unique transaction and were met with very successful closings. He diligently walked us through every step of the process. I was especially pleased that he personally handled all of the showings and open houses. I highly recommend Jeff - he is very competent and committed - to every detail.
