Kendrick was excellent to work with from start to finish. In a tough year with little personal interaction, he established a friendly rapport from the get-go by setting up an introductory meeting and keeping phone and text contact a constant throughout the process. I was hugely impressed by his response times, there somehow wasn't a single instance when he was unavailable. It was easy for me, a first time home buyer, to find common ground with Kendrick, and his patient and friendly demeanor was a huge help to keeping stress to a manageable level.
Kendrick is very knowledgeable about the market and the different neighborhoods of Santa Barbara, down to the property level, where he usually had some details ready to go on any given listing that appeared.
Kendrick was also a great resource in selecting local mortgage and insurance brokers, should you be looking for advice there, as well.
Once we found a property I wanted to pursue, he exhibited phenomenal negotiation skills. We were able to work together to customize offer packages that were creative and well tailored to the listing. He was able to successfully navigate me through an offer, and a couple counter-offers to secure entry into escrow. I am confident that both myself and the sellers are very happy with the end result.
While in escrow, Kendrick kept himself up to date, checking in with me at critical times to see if I had any questions and usually to put my mind at ease. He coordinated flawlessly behind the scenes with the listing agent to set up inspections (he booked some of these for me himself, a huge help), walkthroughs, and requests for seller credits.
The professionalism and helpful manner hasn't stopped there, Kendrick has continued to follow up with me after closing, helping to coordinate between myself and the previous owners, offering up good advice at every juncture.
Thank you Kendrick!
