Kendrick Guehr

Kendrick represented us on the sale of our Santa Barbara property this summer, and the result speaks for itself: listed at the end of July, in contract within days, and closed in August at a record price for the neighborhood. What I valued most was the preparation. Before we ever went live, Kendrick had a clear plan for staging, walked us through which repairs were worth doing and which weren't, and brought in bids so we could make decisions quickly instead of guessing. That work is why the offer we accepted came in clean — all contingencies removed, no loan contingency, 21-day close. I was managing this sale on behalf of an entity and an out-of-area owner, which adds layers. Kendrick and his team stayed on top of the title report, HOA documents, and disclosures, and he flagged scheduling changes before they became problems rather than after. When a last-minute addendum came up days before closing, he was responsive and the deal never wobbled. I'd work with him again without hesitation.

Kendrick handled the sale of our Santa Barbara property from preparation through close, and I would work with him again without hesitation.His opinion of value at the outset was well supported and, as it turned out, accurate — we closed at the top end of the range he gave us. The pre-market plan was thorough, and he was transparent about scope and cost before any work began. His estimates were accurate throughout, which made budgeting straightforward.Where he distinguished himself was strategy and negotiation. He positioned the property well, and when an offer arrived ahead of our launch he laid out the tradeoffs clearly, negotiated it up, and structured the terms to protect us. We were in contract within a day, above list price, and it is the highest sale in the area to date.He is knowledgeable, accommodating, exceptionally responsive, and willing to give a direct opinion without pushing. He also managed much of the process while I was unavailable, which required trust — and he earned it.A strong recommendation for any seller in the Santa Barbara market.

If you’re buying your first home, need a mortgage, and still want to stay competitive in the incredibly 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 is a top-notch real estate professional. He was the listing agent for my Santa Barbara home, which I had owned for 20 years.When I decided to sell, I interviewed Kendrick along with several other agents and was immediately impressed by his professional presentation, his knowledge of the market, and his ability to identify the upgrades that would best prepare my home for sale.During the six-month process of getting my home ready, Kendrick coordinated and oversaw construction and design details while communicating with me in a timely and professional manner throughout. He returned calls and texts within minutes. He truly goes far beyond being “just a realtor.”By the time my home went on the market, I was so happy and proud of how it looked. I simply could not have done it without Kendrick. He also handled multiple offers skillfully and kept me well informed throughout the negotiation process.I highly recommend Kendrick to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated real estate professional.

After my mother's passing, I needed to sell her home in Santa Barbara. Unfortunately I lived over 200 miles away. I interviewed several agents, conducted extensive research, and picked Kendrick to represent us as the sellers. Boy, what a fantastic choice! The home needed several improvements which Kendrick recommended and professionally performed with his trusted tradesmen. We had several small repairs to make, new front and rear landscaping, interior painting, cleaning, staging which were all handled remotely and with efficiency and speed. Kendrick was incredibly responsive day or night usually within a minute of my text, call, or email. If he was not available immediately, he would let me know when he would be, and never failed to call back. This was extremely important being that we were located so far away. The process proceeded like clockwork. The marketing was the best I have seen including all the major internet real estate sites, videos, local papers/mailers, etc. He held an open house one weekend and immediately we received multiple offers. The house sold and closed in 7 days well over the asking price! I don't think we would have had the same result without Kendrick. If you want and agent who will handle everything from start to finish with outstanding results, look no further than Kendrick!

I rarely write reviews, but Kendrick deserves one.In preparing to sell the family home we interviewed several realtors. They all seemed competent, but Kendrick answered our questions sensibly and thoroughly, advised us in important ways to make our property more attractive, and proposed a complete plan to prepare the property for sale. He then did everything he said that he was going to do, including proactively assisting with contractors and staging, and was highly responsive throughout the process. The people working with him were all professional and fast. His approach to marketing our property was right on point and within 1 week of listing we had multiple offers resulting in a sale well over our asking price. Well done, Kendrick! I would highly recommend Kendrick and his team to others.
