Deborah S.

We are so grateful we had Deborah to help us purchase our first home! Deborah was a fantastic coach throughout the process, listening to what we wanted, giving us her real advice based on experience, and being incredibly proactive and responsive. As first-time home buyers, Deborah took the time to explain each bit of paperwork our first go around and even stayed up very late a few times to write us offers on highly sought after properties. We felt completely confident Deb had our best interests in mind and when telling other agents at open houses who are representative was we’d commonly get responses like “Oh good for you Deb’s the real deal.” We also just enjoyed hanging out with Deborah, hearing her inspiring story, sharing pieces of our lives, and we had lots of fun with baseball puns along the way 😊 Can’t thank you enough Deborah!

I had an outstanding experience working with Deborah Samuel, a Senior Specialist Realtor in Santa Barbara. Deborah and her team went above and beyond to help me prepare my longtime home for sale. At our first meeting Deborah asked me numerous questions to understand my reasons for selling my home and I asked for her ideas about selling my home. She clearly presented her multi-faceted plan. She also accurately identified the likely age of the buyers and the size of their family. Her SBSOS downsizing team coordinated trusted local vendors and helped organize everything needed to get the house ready for the market. Everyone who works at SBSOS is polite, efficient, hardworking, and knowledgeable. Deborah’s creative, high-end marketing strategy generated immediate attention, including a broker open with a coffee bus that brought more than 80 real estate professionals through the home on the first day. The results were incredible — my home sold in just three days with multiple offers and over the asking price. She also guided me through the complex paperwork and escrow process, making everything smooth and stress-free. If you are selling a home in Santa Barbara and need an experienced Realtor who understands senior transitions and downsizing, I highly recommend Deborah Samuel and her SBSOS team. Jim Whipple

Working with Deborah made managing the sale of my property from 3,000 miles away much less stressful. She and her team handled all of the details, kept the process moving, and were always willing to answer my questions. Having someone local who could coordinate everything on my behalf gave me peace of mind during a complicated process. I appreciate all of the time and effort Deborah and her team put into making the transaction as smooth as possible.
