188 real estate agents in Santa Barbara

As a first-time homebuyers, we were a bit overwhelmed going into the process, feeling like there was so much we didn't know. Gabe and Kelly made our experience so much smoother than we ever expected - it was honestly seamless from start to finish. What impressed us most was how responsive they were. Every question we had got a quick, thorough answer. They were also incredibly proactive in their communication, getting ahead of things we didn't know to ask about. We never felt like we were being kept in the dark, and had clear direction the whole time. They clearly know this market inside and out — they helped us understand which neighborhoods / homes balanced our dream lifestyle and budget while giving us realistic expectations every step of the way. By the time we got to closing, we felt genuinely confident rather than stressed. That's a huge thing to say about buying a home (especially our first)! We'd recommend working with them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy in the area.

We have been through multiple real estate transactions over the past 20 years. Our experience with Kelly and Gabe far surpassed any of these prior transactions. Kelly is not only well versed in the diverse real estate market of Santa Barbara, but was also able to help us navigate a legal issue attached to our property. Both Kelly and Gabe were readily available through our entire process, from showing property to closing, and even helping us find contractors to help with our house. Given how busy everyone is these days it was refreshing and inspiring to deal with a team that was there for us every step of the way. Santa Barbara is a very competitive real estate market, watching how Kelly and her team navigated this, showed us that she and her team are operating at the highest level of this market. I cannot emphasize how truly happy we were and are with our experience with Kelly. Many thanks to both Kelly and her team.

Our transaction was beyond complicated and the knight team thoroughly thought through the process and guided us with intelligence and grace. There were many moving parts that needed to be addressed at many given moments that had to be handled quickly and with precision. The team was essential in guiding us to make the proper decisions.

Alisa Pepper of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices was exceptional throughout our home-buying journey. She expertly identified properties that matched our goals and helped us develop a winning strategy to secure a home in a highly desirable area where opportunities rarely become available due to long-time residents. Alisa was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated, investing significant time to guide us through every step of the process. Thanks to Alisa's persistence, market insight, and dedication, we ultimately found the perfect property, one that will serve as our retirement home for years to come. We never felt rushed or pressured. Instead, we felt supported by a trusted advisor who genuinely cared about helping us meet our goals. She also connected us with trusted mortgage brokers, contractors, and other key professionals, making the entire experience seamless. We are deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate professional.

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!

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!
