Report
I cannot say enough about how wonderful an experience we had with Louise as our realtor. She knows the market, knows how to price your home to get a great response and gave excellent advise on what we needed to do to get our home ready to show. We live in CO so we had to rely on Louise to step up and assist with meeting everyone involved in the process: painters, carpet installers, inspectors, appraisers and the list goes on. She never complained about the extra work she had with us being out of state and always had a happy caring demeanor. She contacted us daily throughout the entire process.

Louise and I are from different brokerages in different counties. My parents live in her county and wanted to sell their Montecito estate. I felt the best representation I could give them was a solid realtor in their area. After extensive research, I could not deny that Louise was the best candidate for this sale. She is professional, personable, responsive and knowledgeable of the market! As I stated above, we are from different brokerages, and I absolutely trust her as my Santa Barbara area referral! Look no further!
