As first-time homebuyers in Santa Barbara, my partner and I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Kyle and Mike. From day one, they made the process feel approachable and supportive. Kyle took the time to walk us through the pros and cons of every property we visited aEUR" even the one we fell in love with and eventually purchased. He never tried to push us into a decision and always gave us the full picture, which helped us feel confident in our choice. We also went through a few counter offers, and Kyle was a steady hand throughout aEUR" helping us understand our options, strategize, and stay grounded during what couldve been a stressful process. Partway through the journey, we ended up switching lenders, which came with its own challenges. Kyle stepped in without hesitation and supported us through the transition. After closing, there were some small renovations needed on the house. Kyle went above and beyond by connecting us with trusted vendors and sharing helpful pointers. Theyre not just great realtors aEUR" they feel like family now. Were so grateful to have had them by our side for such an important milestone.

Working with Mike and Kyle was easy and a pleasant experience. They were both honest and upfront with information, they welcomed and answered all of our questions, and they were very knowledgeable - especially about the process, the local area, and buying in the Mesa neighborhood. They provided us with excellent references for contractors and vendors. They were friendly and nice and seemed genuinely happy and excited for us. We would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in Santa Barbara.

The Richardsons provided us a really great service in selling our house. They explained everything carefully, and handled everything personally. They always responded quickly to messages and phoned us evenings, weekends, whenever they had any news for us. They couldn't have gone to more trouble and were a pleasure to deal with. Everything was brought to a very satisfactory conclusion. Couldn't recommend them more highly!

We 100% recommend Kyle and Mike to anyone in need of real estate services. Theyre simply the best. It has been fantastic working with Kyle and Mike to sell our property in Santa Barbara. My family moved out of state so the house during the process (from preparing the house for sale to closing) were left entirely in their capable hands. Their frequent updates and professionalism gave us complete confidence that the house was being handled with care. The advices from Kyle and Mike throughout the process were very sensible and valuable. In preparation for sale, we followed their suggestions on flooring, painting, and staging, and were so happy that we did. These improvements transformed the house in the best way. They have great taste, and theyre exceptional at what they do. They have a network of contractors and handymen that can address everything a house needs at a good price.

Review for Kyle and Mike Richardson (Richardson Real Estate Services) It took at least a year for my sister and I to reach the difficult and emotional decision to sell our parents home. When we talked with Kyle and Mike, we immediately had a good feeling about them, and they proved to be empathetic, safe, and trustworthy people to work with during an emotionally fraught time. With their offices just a few blocks from our place on the Mesa, they already felt like neighbors, and being a family business, we sensed that they understood our family dynamics, and indeed like a family, they helped us bring it all together. They professionally guided the whole process, and were always respectful of our various opinions. They were easy to work with, and really did go the extra mile in all aspects and created a strong bond with us. Theyre just genuinely good people. It was clear that being a multi-generational business gave them a historical perspective on Mesa community well and had seen how the mesa was changing. Since we were out of town, Mike and Kyle guided the house preparation work aEUR" painting, landscaping, repairsaEUR" expertly and at a reasonable price; they shared in ideas for colors, and made good recommendations that all paid off in the end. Then they went the extra mile, regularly checking on the place and making sure the new shrubs were taken care of. In terms of the sale, their marketing materials, both on the web and the booklet, really hit on the strong points of the house. They were super helpful in working through paperwork and disclosures. They were always available to talk, and kept us informed. In the end they helped us sell the house at a price we were happy with, and enabled the escrow process smooth and drama free. As you can see we recommend Richardson Real Estate Services, better known as Mike and Kyle, one hundred percent wholeheartedly.
