Cecilia has completed 9 transactions for me in SB. She has always been professional but also easy and fun to work with. There are many choices in Realtors as we all know and I chose to work with Cecilia again and again. I have found her always knowledgeable about the current market in SB. We also have a common bond in our love of animals and our commitment to adopting rescue dogs. - T. H., Aspen, Co

Cecilia, with Don helping her, just sold our home at 52 Olive Mill Road and my husband and I want you to know how pleased we have been throughout the whole process. We interviewed three prospective agents and knew Cecilia was the right person soon after our conversation started. We were looking for someone who was not just an agent, but who would be our advocate during the whole process. Since we moved to Dallas in 1974 we have bought four different homes. Before that it was one in Jackson, Miss. and before that Galveston, TX. As you can see, we have some experience with home sales. However, this home was something special. Not only did the Olive Mill property represent more than just a piece of real estate to me, selling in CA proved to be an incomprehensible process that she navigated like the pro she is. Without her and her reassuring manner, we both would have had a breakdown. I’d like to return to the word 'advocate'. The other agents we interviewed gave the impression they just wanted to sell our home for what the last comp was, move it fast and be done with it. They didn’t seem to hear me when I said “this place is special”. Cecilia saw immediately the uniqueness of our unit. She saw that our patio was very large (compared to the others in our little development), she realized we had wonderful mountain to sea crosswinds, she noticed that our views were of the mountains and of lovely landscaping, she noticed the light. In short, she pick up on all of the details (not to mention our upgrades) that probably made our unit the most desirable unit. She got the contract and kept advocating for us until someone came along who had seen another unit. When they saw ours, she had a sale. We can’t thank her and Don enough for their patience and perseverance over the length of the contract. I can’t say we were easy to deal with, as we were away from Santa Barbara most of the time and when we were there, we had restrictions on open houses etc. Their optimism never wavered and we never heard a cross word. They worked like a well oiled machine, even doing tasks that were not in our contract. They rearranged our furniture, referred us to professional helpers, and made our lives easier in every way. Believe me, they earned every penny of their commission plus a bonus. - Elaine and Melvyn Lerman
