Summer K.

Selling my home in Goleta with Summer Knight from Sun Coast Real Estate was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She was easy to work with, extremely organized, always on time, and clearly very knowledgeable about the Goleta and greater Santa Barbara markets. From our first meeting, she laid out a clear game plan, followed it, met every deadline, and kept me on track at each step. Summer brought in a top-notch team for photography, staging, cleaning, transaction coordination, inspections, title, and escrow, which made the property shine and kept the process running smoothly. She also knew many of the local buyers’ agents, yet was careful to avoid dual representation, which made me feel she was completely focused on my best interests. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me a lot of confidence throughout the sale. We worked together to set a strategic listing price designed to generate strong interest and encourage competitive overbids. After one weekend of open houses, we received seven offers, most of them over asking. Summer was extremely helpful in reviewing the offers, guiding me through counter offers, and ultimately selecting a strong cash buyer at $90,000 over the list price. Once we were in escrow, everything went smoothly. Summer expertly guided me through disclosures, inspections, and all of the paperwork, explaining what mattered and what to expect at each stage. I always felt informed, supported, and never rushed. I would absolutely hire Summer again, whether buying or selling. With her deep knowledge of the different Santa Barbara and Goleta neighborhoods and her organized, methodical approach, she is exactly the kind of agent you want on your side in this market.

We bought our first home with Summer and she was excellent for us. She was very patient and responsive explaining the process of making an offer and completing all the escrow steps. Additionally, because we were living outside the area while exploring the market, we really appreciated her help viewing houses for sale through video calls. Once we were in escrow, she was also very helpful in setting us up with inspectors to make sure the the house was up to our standards. Overall, Summer made the complicated, confusing process of buying a house feel simple and accessible, and we'd recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the Santa Barbara area. She was the greatest realtor we could have asked for for our first home purchase.

Summer is dedicated and professional. She was very easy to work with and her knowledge of the Santa Barbara realty market was invaluable. She helped me through every step of the process including setting a competitive price, providing ideas for staging, walking me through the paperwork and even helping me find boxes for moving. My condo sold to the first person who looked at it! Bottom-line…Summer is a very likable person (you’ll enjoy the time working with her) and she really knows her stuff
