Kendrick is exceptionally responsive, thorough, and knowledgeable about the local market. Hes also very well connected with other agents, which proved to be a huge advantage throughout our home search. Finding a home in the $1aEUR"1.3 million price range is highly competitive, but Kendrick helped us secure a beautiful home without spending months searching. His relationships, market knowledge, and offer strategy were instrumental in putting together a competitive offer that was accepted within a day of the home hitting the market. What we appreciated most was that he always had our best interests in mind. If he noticed issues with a property, he pointed them out. If he felt a home was overpriced, he told us honestly instead of encouraging us to overpay. At no point did we feel pressured to make an offer. We always felt he was helping us make the right decision. Working together with our mortgage advisor, Kendrick helped us navigate the entire process seamlessly. From our accepted offer to closing, we completed everything in less than 20 days. We highly recommend Kendrick to anyone looking to buy a home in the Santa Barbara or Goleta area.

We had a fantastic experience working with Kendrick with our recent home purchase in Santa Barbara. We started working with Kendrick a year ago when we lived out of state and considered moving to Santa Barbara. He helped us begin to understand the different neighborhoods in Santa Barbara and get clarity on what we really wanted. Over the last year, while we focused on getting our home ready for sale, he kept us updated on listings that fit our parameters. When we listed our home for sale, the search became serious and Kendrick stepped up with prompt feedback on our questions about properties of interest. He gave his personal analysis of each property we considered. He cautioned us about specific locations with information we would never have known such as proximity to a busy intersection. He went to listings and took videos for us to better understand what we were considering. He prepared us for the competitive Santa Barbara market. When we arrived in Santa Barbara and began our search we had a good idea of what we wanted and where we wanted to be. We found the perfect home in the first week. When our offer was accepted, Kendrick connected us with a team of specialists to prepare for closing. They were as dedicated, knowledgeable and helpful as Kendrick. Kendrick was always available to answer questions and guide us through the process. He skillfully negotiated with the seller and saved us money. We closed in less than a month after arriving in Santa Barbara. After closing, Kendrick remained connected and continued to assist us. He introduced us to workers who could quickly complete the necessary work before we moved in. Our experience working with Kendrick truly exceeded our expectations. We have worked with good realtors before, but Kendrick raised the bar well beyond what would be considered a great service. He was committed to helping us find the right home. He knows the Santa Barbara market and knows how to prepare and execute to close the deal. We feel so fortunate to have connected with Kendrick and we recommend him without reservation.

Let me start by saying Jebb is the best agent I have ever had.I've been working with agents since1980 we build and sold houses and I will say again he is the best agent I ever worked with. he was always quietly efficient always helpful and responsive to my needs. very good experience working with him and i am grateful with appreciation,

Jedd and his team took care of us from start to finish. The buying process can be full of complexities, but Jedd made it simple, personal, and fun for our family. He also saved us time, money, and effort by investing much of his own into our experience. Above and beyond.

Kendrick handled the sale of our Santa Barbara property from preparation through close, and I would work with him again without hesitation. His opinion of value at the outset was well supported and, as it turned out, accurate aEUR" we closed at the top end of the range he gave us. The pre-market plan was thorough, and he was transparent about scope and cost before any work began. His estimates were accurate throughout, which made budgeting straightforward. Where he distinguished himself was strategy and negotiation. He positioned the property well, and when an offer arrived ahead of our launch he laid out the tradeoffs clearly, negotiated it up, and structured the terms to protect us. We were in contract within a day, above list price, and it is the highest sale in the area to date. He is knowledgeable, accommodating, exceptionally responsive, and willing to give a direct opinion without pushing. He also managed much of the process while I was unavailable, which required trust aEUR" and he earned it. A strong recommendation for any seller in the Santa Barbara market.
