Morton M.

As first-time homebuyers in a challenging market (Santa Barbara, peak pandemic), I can't overstate the importance of having a reliable realtor to advocate for you through the process. Mort worked tirelessly for us and I fully credit his tenacity in getting us into our home. With our public sector salaries, we were definitely operating on a budget. Mort helped us find a home that we can afford and didn't compromise on the most important aspects to us (neighborhood, outdoor space, even architectural style.) When it came down to actually getting an offer accepted -- what would have otherwise been a daunting process for us first-timers -- Mort leveraged his expertise in negotiating a deal that was beneficial to us. It was also clear throughout the process that he has garnered the respect of real estate professionals throughout the region; simply being a client of such a highly-regarded individual will open doors for you!

Our family has worked with Mort on multiple home purchases over the years and he is fantastic. Mort always seems to know what we want before we do and makes the process as easy as possible. He is very responsive and has a vast knowledge of Santa Barbara real estate - we highly recommend his services!

Mort helped me and my wife sell our property at 606 Calle Palo Colorado. The house sold (April 2024) after receiving 5 offers within a week of the listing. The sales price was significantly above the asking price. Our preparation for the listing was not expensive. Mort always communicated with great clarity and efficiency. He was steady as rock for us as we navigated this new experience of selling a home.
