Richardson Real Estate Services

Our journey with Mike and Kyle started with a dream to move to California from two east coast boys. Not only did they help our dreams come true but they are always there for us as we settled in and in fact anything we needed during the last 10+ years. We are now lifelong friends. Highly recommend them - integrity and trust. Thank you both for everything.

Dear Kyle and Mike, Thank you for helping us find the perfect home for future generations of our familyaEUR"a true piece of paradise to call our own. We are incredibly grateful for your assistance throughout this process. You represented us with integrity and negotiated the contract with expert care. You are truly the best in the industry, combining professionalism with a personal touch that made us feel like family. The Sharps

We rented a duplex in Montecito managed by this company and expected a higher level of professionalism given the $13,000 monthly rent. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The home was advertised as newly remodeled with brand-new heating and AC, but we later discovered there was no air conditioning at all aEUR" only heat.Maintenance was inconsistent and at one point the grass wasnt cut for over six weeks and grew up to our knees. When we requested more frequent service (once a week seemed reasonable), they refused. We also asked for a second garbage bin since there were two separate units on the property, but that request was denied as well. When the owner passed away, management informed us they wouldnt renew our lease because they were planing to sell. We understood and cooperated fully. They told us we could stay until the 3rd of the following month to complete our move aEUR" a gesture we appreciated aEUR" but then deducted those three days of rent from our security deposit without ever mentioning that would happen. We left the home spotless, even paying for professional cleaning and paint touch-ups on all walls. Despite that, they still took $600 out of our deposit for a few small scuffs on the ceiling aEUR" not even allowed for normal wear and tear. We paid on time every month and took excellent care of the property, but the way we were treated felt unprofessional and unfair.

My wife and I have only the highest respect for the Richardson Team. From our first meeting, we were extremely impressed. Not only did they display detailed knowledge about the Santa Barbara real estate market, but they came prepared with research about our home to the extent that they know more about the history of our home than we did. Moreover, they took the time to learn about our unique situation and tailored their approach to fit our needs. During the entire process, they remained upbeat and worked diligently to find a buyer for our home. We truly enjoyed working with Mike and Kyle and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Santa Barbara. Thanks Mike and Kyle!

Kyle Richardson just found us a house that matches exactly what we asked him to look for! Kyle is a fantastic agent who we have gone to multiple times when searching for a home. Ever since we moved to Southern California 15 years ago, we have always gone with Kyle as we know we can expect the same professionalism, tireless searches, and incredible correspondence outlining EVERY detail of the houses we are considering. I always have A LOT of questions and Kyle answers them almost instantly via email or phone call. He doesn't only do excellent work for my wife and I, but he has helped my other family members as well find new homes. This time around he spent so much time with my family and me that I don't know how he keeps up with his other clients! He made the escrow very understandable for me as well as this was a rather complex purchase/refi situation. He is well versed in the financial aspect of real estate and has always gone beyond the call of duty for us. He even came over after our most recent purchase to teach us how to work the televisions and how to set the new fangled AC/Heater automatic system. It was invaluable to get a list of the vendors he trusts so that I didn't have to do any work locating the best electrician, plumber, and general contractor. There is no need to look any further than the Richardson Realtors.
