Hello, Ryan worked very hard for my husband and I when we were looking to to buy a different house in Santa Barbara. He is honest and straight forward about things. I was always able to reach him to ask questions. I would highly recommend Ryan if you are looking for a good realtor. Sincerely, Kathy Baynton-Cox, Barker Pass Rd. SB
I have worked with Ryan on both a sale of a home (2014) in Santa Barbara and a purchase(2016). At the time of the sale, my brother and I did not live in Santa Barbara. Ryan handled every detail and kept us apprised each step of the way. All went smoothly. Eight months ago he again made a normally stressful transaction easy. I am now living in Paradise and have Ryan, in big part, to thank. He is thorough and competent.
We had a very positive experience buying our first property under the representation and guidance of Santa Barbara Brokers and Ryan Malmsten in 2013. During the looking process, he was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we were interested and had very quick response times to emails and in coordinating showings. When it came to writing offers, Ryan was never pushy and we came to trust his opinion and guidance.
We chose to use Ryan again in 2015 when we decided to sell our property and buy a new property at the same time. Ryan was experienced in this process and was able to guide us through the transition of staging/showing our current property while visiting new properties. After our property was in escrow and we were ready to write an offer for our new home Ryan was aggressive in his representation of us, making sure we were writing the offer we needed to secure the home while ensuring we were getting the best deal for the property.
We have chosen to use Santa Barbara Brokers for all of our buying/selling needs in Santa Barbara because they are knowledgable, trustworthy, and get the job done.
Ryan helped us find a house with a view of the ocean for a great price. We decided we wanted more square footage after a while and we called Ryan. He found us a buyer with out having to put it on the market -no open houses, no sign, no other brokers coming through. It was so easy. He then helped us buy the house of our dreams. We are so happy with his work ethic and patience. We would highly recommend his company.
Ryan did an amazing job for us! He represented us as both a buyer and a seller. He negotiated fair deals on both sides and was prompt in responding to the many details needed to close the sales. His style is relaxed, but he was very active in marketing our home in his large network. This resulted in a very quick sale at a fair price. We highly recommend him!
Not sure it could have gone any better. Worked with sellers on a private transaction, paying a fair price and closing in less than a month after hearing about the opportunity. There were a lot of hoops to jump through to make that happen. They have my highest recommendation.
Ryan has represented us as both buyers and sellers. His research and follow through is extremely helpful in facilitating successfull and stress free closings. We highly recommend Ryan and his team at Santa Barbara Brokers.
A pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable of the Santa Barbara area. Works well with his peers , always very professional . We always felt he had our best interests in mind. Highly recommend!
