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.

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.

What a pleasant surprise a real estate agent that is honest hardworking and kind. Our experience was wonderful she knew exactly what to do to sell our home quickly and at a fair price Forget the rest Jamie is the Best!
