We had the pleasure of working with Deborah Samuel, a Senior Specialist Realtor in Santa Barbara, CA, over the past six months as we searched for the perfect retirement condo—and we couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance. Deborah demonstrated exceptional patience, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the Santa Barbara and Montecito real estate market. We wrote multiple offers, and she remained steady, strategic, and encouraging throughout the entire process. What sets Deborah apart is her understanding of the needs of senior homebuyers. She listened carefully to what mattered most to us and kept us focused, even when the process felt overwhelming. There were moments when we felt discouraged, but Deborah never gave up on us—her persistence and optimism made all the difference. Her construction background and attention to detail gave us confidence in evaluating each property, especially regarding long-term livability and potential maintenance concerns. When we found the right condo, Deborah’s negotiation skills ensured a smooth, successful escrow. She also connected us with trusted local professionals, making the transition seamless. If you are buying or selling in Santa Barbara, Montecito, or Goleta—especially as a senior or downsizing—we highly recommend Deborah Samuel. We are now happily settled and grateful she helped us find the perfect home.

2508 Calle Montilla Santa Barbara
This is my 7th home sale over 45 years and was an absolutely fantastic experience, thanks to Ryan. He knows the market and exactly what to do to maximize the sale price with the minimum required investment. He general contracted the primarily cosmetic work we did to freshen up the house, and had great ideas for relatively small things that really brought the house into the present. Ryan is a consummate professional with excellent communication and people skills, which are of course essential to make this process work. The market had been really slow, but we sold in 10 days for well over the asking price with multiple offers. The return on our investment in updates was at least a factor of four.

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.

This is the second house I’ve sold with Chase. Each time it’s been a very positive experience. She obviously knows what she’s doing and is in tune with market dynamics. She’s very professional and takes care of the important things that need to get done. Overall, I highly recommend her. You cannot go wrong with Chase. Five stars.
