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.

Buyer of 925 West Victoria Street, Santa Barbara
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.

Dave helped me through the entire process with the ups and downs of the sale. He was always there keeping track of every detail and making sure that each task got done quickly. It was an emotional experience for me, because it was my moms house, and I don’t know how I could have gotten through it without Dave. He’s professional, does his research on the market and will get you the best price possible. Thank you so much Dave!
