What clients say about this agent....
Working with Mike and Kyle was an absolute dream. They are the best of the best. We are out of state buyers and they made us feel so at ease during the whole process. They took care of things that we couldn't because we weren't there. We closed on the house in December and they are still helping us handle certain contractors. They truly go above and beyond to help their clients. I am as picky as they come and have never been so impressed with a team. Some of the most kind and dedicated professionals I have had the privilege of working with.
We've been clients of Mike Richardson's for seventeen years.A His slogan "Integrity * Knowledge * Experience" sums up what it's been like for my wife, Dinah, and I to have Mike as our Realtor.A Mike, assisted by his son Kyle, finished co-ordinating our most recent move, from Santa Barbara to Ojai. Thanks to their efforts we are going to move directly from our Santa Barbara house to our new home in Ojai.This is our second slam-dunk experience with the Richardson team. Eight years ago Mike coordinated the sale of our home on the Mesa and purchase of our home in San Roque. It was a seamless move from one house to the other.Mike and Kyle, youre the best!John & Dinah Mason
Mike and Kyle smoothed the way for the purchase of a new home on the Mesa in myriad ways. They coached us as to the proper amount to offer in garnering the property, with 9 other offers on the table. Every step of the way went well, all the minor repairs that needed to happen, they negotiated expertly for us. Improvements we wanted to make were also streamlined by their team of painters, electricians, plumbers, etc. Every time I called Mike or Kyle, I got immediate response, and prompt action. Every single time. We could not be happier with their professionalism, their authentic caring about us, the process, the outcome. I could not recommend Mike & Kyle Richardson more highly. So grateful to them.
We worked with Kyle to sell our house (which he previously helped us purchase) in August of this year. Kyle did an amazing job attending to each detail. Our situation was exceptionally difficult as we were stuck out of state due to the pandemic and we unable to ever physically be at the house. Kyle made the process easy and fought for us each step of the way ultimately getting us top dollar for our home. I would highly recommend Kyle and Mike to anyone buying or selling a home in the Santa Barbara area.
Michael and Kyle Richardson are the most professional real estate team I have ever worked with. Michael helped me with the smooth short-sale purchase of a home in Santa Barbara many years ago. Michael and his son, Kyle, have helped me sell a home here more recently. All went flawlessly in just 25 days, even with government lending involved! As a team, they are just wonderful people to work with in every way. Their personal handling of so many aspects of complex sales, and their genuine care for the welfare of their clients is unmatched in my experience. I have recommended the Richardson team on many occasions, and would always do so again with great pleasure. When it comes to Santa Barbara real estate, I'm not sure how anyone can outshine this team.
I can't be praising Mike Richardson, Realtors and Kyle enough for their services. From the day I reached out and we got first connected, all the way to walking inside my new home, Kyle has been nothing but extremely helpful. This was my first home purchase, and Kyle made this experience seamless and straightforward, helping me with every details along the day. I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking to buy the home of their dreams. Thank you again so much Kyle!!

This was a reflection of the two of them as they have the same qualities. Mike and Kyle are a great team. Their ability to market and sell the property was greatly appreciated.

"As first time home buyers, we had so much to learn and the process seemed overwhelming at first. We are very grateful for Kyle's expert guidance, which made the process much easier. He was always available for us and walked us through every step. More than that, Kyle was patient, flexible, and creative along all the twists and turns we encountered. It was clear to us that Kyle genuinely wanted the best outcome for us, and he never rushed or pressured us to make a decision. His advice was crucial in so many important decisions, and he helped us get the house we wanted and save a lot of money. We cannot recommend him enough!"
I just completed a rather long and complicated purchase of a beautiful property in Santa Barbara and Mike and Kyle Richardson are the reasons it was so successful. The combination of tremendous expertise about the Santa Barbara market helping me evaluate many alternative locations, exceptional professionalism in guiding the complex purchase negotiations, unflagging follow through on a myriad of closing process details, and totally over and above support in addressing a whole host of inspection spawned, post close issues is what marks these two as the best real estate professionals I've ever met. They were always available, always prepared to make in person visits happen on my schedule and able to point out important aspects, both positive and negative about properties that interested me. There was no question about divided loyalties - they were there to support me. There was never any pressure or subtle tactics to encourage a purchase decision. They were simply there to help me any way I needed them to do. I give them my highest rating and an unqualified endorsement to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent in the Santa Barbara area.
If you are looking for a real estate team to help you sell or buy real estate in Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, I would like to whole-heartedly recommend Mike Richardson Realtors. My mother knew Mike and Kyle Richardson for years, not only as the top Realtor on the Mesa in Santa Barbara, but also as a trusted neighbor and friend. When the time came to sell her home, she knew there was only one agent she would list with. That was Mike and his team. Without a doubt, she was right.From the first meeting to discuss selling strategy through the close of escrow, Mike and Kyle were exemplary professionals every step of the way. I have had a fair amount of experience with RE agents buying and selling properties through-out my adult life, but no one even comes close to the level of service, integrity, knowledge and experience that Mike and Kyle provide.Moms place was a forty-two year old home. Although it had good aEURoebones,aEUR? it needed some help to make it into a desirable, competitive property. Mike and Kyle knew exactly what needed to be done and who should do the work. Since I did not live in Santa Barbara, I needed an agent who had this kind of know-how and can-do attitude. Mike was not a stranger to a client like me who needed someone local to make this all happen. He and his team coordinated everything to get the home looking great and in ship-shape order. Plumbing, roofing, pest control, interior and exterior painting, landscaping, carpeting and floor buffing, power washing, estate sale, clutter removal and staging aEUR" he had the contacts to get the job done quickly and efficiently by honest hard-working people who charged very reasonable rates. They took an average decent looking home on the Mesa and turned it into a aEURoeCream-Puff.aEUR? This transformation amazed our whole family! This needed makeover allowed us to get aEURoetop-dollaraEUR? for the property and kept the aEURoedays on marketaEUR? to a minimum. But what impressed me the most was that Mike considered that coordinating makeover project as part of his job as the listing agent. Ive never expected or even heard of such aEURoebeyond the call of dutyaEUR? level of service from any real estate agent.Then, Mike and Kyle put together a first class advertising campaign including a website complete with professional photos and videos from inside, outside and above the property. Even during the challenging times caused by a pandemic, Mike and Kyle Richardson sold my mothers home in a relatively short amount of time. Throughout the entire process, Mike kept in touch with me, updating me as to the process of the make-over, listing and sales transaction. Ive been a part of almost two- dozen real estate transactions in my life and I have never experienced such a fantastic level of dedication like this. Once you have hired Mike and Kyle Richardson as your Realtor, I'm confident that you will come to the same conclusion that I have -- Mike and Kyle are the finest real estate professionals to help make your transaction a pleasurable experience and an unmitigated success.
