Working with Maureen McDermut over the past year has been a great experience for our family. Finding the perfect home in Santa Barbara was a significant decision, and Maureen’s thoughtful, diligent approach made all the difference. She truly listened to our needs, was incredibly patient throughout the process, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and informed at every step.

Maureen’s years of experience were evident in the way she navigated the market, giving us invaluable advice and negotiating skillfully on our behalf. Her integrity, honesty, and commitment to great communication were apparent from day one, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about helping us find not just any home, but the right home for our family. We couldn't be more grateful for her expertise and kindness throughout this journey.

We highly recommend Maureen to anyone looking for a trusted, knowledgeable real estate professional in Santa Barbara. Her dedication is unmatched.

I found Maureen McDermut online and decided to engage Maureen and her team to sell an home that was in an estate. After listing the home Maureen was able to put us in touch with a local contactor who did fantastic job preparing the home for sale. Maureen marketed the home very well while the work was being done so when the home came on the market there was significant interest and eventually 23 offers for more that the asking price. Maureen and her team were always responsive to all my contacts with her office. I am very satisfied with the service that was given during the sale. I would certainly recommend Maureen to anyone who is looking for a quality realtor to sell their property.

We had the pleasure of working with Maureen & Team to purchase our first home in Santa Barbara. From start to finish, Maureen demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to helping us find the perfect home.

Throughout the entire process, Maureen was always available and responsive to our questions and concerns. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and diligently searched for properties that aligned with our criteria. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident in the selection of homes that she presented to us.

Additionally, Maureen & Team were incredibly organized and efficient in handling all the paperwork and logistics associated with the purchase. She went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction, coordinating with all parties involved and keeping us updated every step of the way.

I would highly recommend Maureen to anyone in need of a real estate agent. We are thrilled with our new home.

I can't say enough about Maureen McDermut. Maureen is an excellent, seasoned and responsive real estate agent. Maureen is highly personable with an engaging warm personality - she truly cares for her clients and wants only the best for them.

We never felt neglected or unimportant. Maureen did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs. She knows greater Santa Barbara like the back of her hand. Nothing happens in SB real estate without Maureen knowing about it!

Maureen is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to move again she will be our first choice in real estate agents.

We met Maureen by chance in 2008 at an open house in Montecito while contemplating a move from LA to the Santa Barbara area. We knew nothing about the market, but a year later, when the right house came along, she handled a very challenging process that resulting in us owning our dream home in Montecito. At the time, we felt that we would not have succeeded without Maureen's knowledge, skill and determination. We have met many real estate agents in our 11 years in Santa Barbara and now know both the market and the marketers. So, when we decided it was time to down-size in the Summer of 2020, there was no hesitation in choosing Maureen to represent us again. The skills were always there and have only been honed in the intervening 12 years. But what we have come to appreciate even more is a level of integrity, commitment and caring that is unsurpassed in the Santa Barbara real estate community.

Cindy and I engaged Maureen to sell our house in Montecito this fall and she did a fabulous job marketing the property (sparing no expense). She was able to produce a qualified buyer almost immediately. While we continued to get action from other buyers, Maureen deftly managed the buyer as they went through their due diligence knowing in the background there was genuine interest in the house. Maureen has a great feel for what is "market" pricing and was right on target predicting our pricing outcome.

We were looking for a realtor to sell our house and were introduced to Maureen McDermut by a referral from a friend and couldn't be happier with our choice.

At our first meeting Maureen most graciously entered our home and inquired what our goals and expectations were. She gave us suggestions as to what we could do to increase our home's value and what inspections and repairs to have done before listing our property. It was really good to have a fresh pair of eyes looking at our place and it was just what was needed. Maureen and her assistant Nichole were very attentive to our concerns and our progress.

Maureen stragistally timed and marketed our place and as a result the activity was over the top. All the preparation and inspections that were done ahead of time really paid off for a seamless escrow. Without a doubt we picked the right agent and firm to represent us. Our goal is complete, and couldn't be happier!

Sincerely,
Gary Trevor
