    Jim Callahan of Compass Real Estate recently worked with us to sell a home in Los Alamos. His expertise was helpful during each step of the process. His marketing plan was professional and structured to reach out to the most likely buyer bases for this location. He was well informed about local sales and had been assisting buyers from L.A. interested in the Santa Ynez Valley as well. His photographer was skilled in capturing the most effective interior and exterior views. A professional floor plan was also created. Importantly, Jim was always available for consultation often in person. We highly recommend him. A successful transaction was completed in a few weeks. Kimmis and Jill Brady

    If you're looking to buy a condo in Santa Barbara, I highly recommend working with Jim. He recently helped me purchase my first condo and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Jim was knowledgeable, professional, and extremely responsive. He took the time to understand my preferences and needs, and was patient and supportive throughout the entire process. Jim was always available to answer my questions, offer advice, and provide guidance when needed. He also had a great network of contacts that made the whole process much smoother. When it came time to make an offer, Jim's negotiation skills were top-notch. He was able to get me a great deal on my condo, and I couldn't be happier with the price I paid. Overall, I can't recommend Jim enough. He's a great realtor who truly cares about his clients and will go above and beyond to help you find the perfect home. If you're looking to buy or sell in Santa Barbara, Jim is your guy!
