“Joe and Garrett are great. Super helpful and very knowledgeable about what they do. Front the back, they do the work needed to make the transition easy and less stressful.”
“I arrived in Santa Barbara, feeling the weight of my inexperience and trepidation at the daunting tasks of physically dealing with the family home (many years of delayed maintenance, and also well into the spectrum of the hoarder continuum) and of stepping into a “new and foreign language” of the intricacies of how to sell a house. With your help, kindness and guidance (not to mention seemingly thousands of trips, schlepping heavy bags and boxes of things out of the house and into waiting bins to be hauled away) you made it possible for me to get done what I needed to do, and to feel confident in the process and in my decisions. Every part of the process with you was professional, clear and understandable, and not least of all it resulted in a sale well above asking price! The house presented so many physical challenges for me to get it ready. I would not have been able to get through it all without you. You gave me the kind of help one may only hope to get from a good friend… caring about me as a person, not just a client. Thank you both so very, very much, and well done to all of us”
“Garrett has been incredible to work with! We have been searching for the right home for years, and he was right there with us the whole time. And when we finally did find the right house, he was instrumental in not only closing the deal to our benefit, but also helping with things after closing as well. Truly a gem!”
“Garrett helped my wife an I purchase a home recently in Santa Barbara. He was knowledgeable and extremely helpful about the many complicated details of our entire transaction. He responded quickly to our many questions and was proactive with necessary communications with the seller's agent, the inspector, the pest control company, etc. And he saved us 7000 dollars by noticing an error by the escrow company! I was surprised by how many details and paperwork it takes purchasing a home, and we couldn't recommend him (and his wife) more highly. It's a competitive market out there finding the right real estate agent and there is a lot of hype and glossy advertising for your real estate needs but we feel we found the perfect person to represent us and take us to the finish line and we only wish the best for anyone buying or selling their home.”
“I worked with Garrett McCaw and Jeff Oien as a team on the sale of our long-time family home. I initially engaged with them ahead of being ready to sell the home, as I had planned some improvements prior to deciding to list the home. From the outset, Garrett and Jeff were very responsive to my questions, and they willingly provided input as to whether my planned improvements would provide the highest return. They never put on a hard sell to get the listing or pushed me for a date as to when I might be ready to list. When I did decide to list with them, I received the highest level of service and support. Garrett and Jeff are professional, honest and knowledgeable about the market, and they have the highest ethical standards. They have a deep understanding of the intricacies of a transaction and were calm and pragmatic throughout. Additionally, Garrett is a technology whiz who put together a fantastic narrated video presentation of the property that helped sell it. We sold the home quickly, receiving multiple offers. In addition to being exceptionally competent and trustworthy, Garrett and Jeff are highly enjoyable to work with.”
“Garrett McCaw was wonderful to work with. He is extremely knowledgable about the housing market in Santa Barbara and Goleta. I feel that he really listened to what I wanted and needed in a new home and supported me throughout the process of locating and closing on my new home. He is very friendly, professional, and patient. He was easy to communicate with and followed through promptly. I would highly recommend him as a realtor.”
“Garrett McCaw was absolutely fantastic to work with! As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He’s incredibly down to earth, patient, and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Garrett walked us through every step, always explaining things clearly and making sure we felt confident in our decisions. He’s a true straight shooter — honest, genuine, and clearly looking out for his clients’ best interests. If you want a realtor who’s professional, transparent, and truly cares, Garrett McCaw is the one. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!”
“Repeat customer of Garrett's and he's great to work with and cares a lot about his clients. He knows Santa Barbara and has been doing this a long time, so he has a lot of expertise in the process.”
“Working with Garrett was a pleasure! He had a great knowledge of the market and was extremely hard working and attentive in handling both large and small details. Garrett always went the extra mile for us and we would highly recommend him!”
“Garrett was excellent to work with from start to finish. He graciously navigated our unique schedules and answered our multitude of questions with patience. He was knowledgeable about the area, kept us informed throughout the process, and was genuinely invested in helping us find our forever home. He made a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
