This section is designed to give you some ideas as to the level of service as a Santa Barbara Realtor that I provide. I service the communities of not only Santa Barbara, but also Montecito, Hope Ranch, Goleta, Carpinteria, and Summerland as well as all of the South Coast,  Santa Barbara County, CA.  

My business is built on referrals!  22 years so far and going strong!  Personal references provided if you want!

Thank you very much for your August 15 letter and the enclosed data...I have been buying and selling homes for the past 25 years and have never had a realtor put together such a well-orchestrated program.

We have had the great good fortune of having Kathleen represent our house in Santa Barbara during its recent sale...our house was on the market during a real estate slump, but Kathleen's energy never flagged. She was creative, positive and hard-working through the whole process...I have recommended her to our friends and recommend her to anyone looking for the highest-quality real estate representation.

Dr. and Mrs. Peter St. Louis

Many thanks again for the fine job you did in handling the sale of our property...your responsiveness to our many requests regarding the handling of the sale went far beyond what one could reasonably rexpect from one's realtor. Needless to say, we will want you to handle the sale of future properties!

Dr. and Mrs.James O'Roark

Many thanks to you for all the effort you put into the sale of Katherine's house. We were very impressed with your knowledge and professionalism as well as your up-beat and cheerful demeanour. It was a pleasure working with you and should we need a consultant in the future we'll call on you.

My clients and I searched the RE/MAX.com website and found a cute little cottage-style home on Stanford Place. The listing belonged to Kathleen Barnato of Prudential California Realty. Since Kathleen knew that I was not a Realtor from the area, she was thorough in educating me and my clients about the home's surrounding neighborhoods, schools, and other important features. From our first meeting all the way through the close of escrow, Kathleen was very professional and courteous. And once we closed escrow on my clients' home, Kathleen was also very helpful when it came to referring several great contractors. In the future, I would definitely recommend Kathleen to anyone I know who may need real estate services in the Santa Barbara area.

We recently purchased a home with the assistance of Kathleen ... we recommend her services to anyone wanting to purchase a home. We found Kathleen to be responsive to any concerns we raised, quickly relaying them to the sellers in our transaction and helping us arrive at a mutually agreeable solution...Purchasing a home can be a traumatic experience; Kathleen's professional knowledge and easy-going demeanor made it easier for us.

You are certainly free to use my name as a positive reference as you assemble the comments of satisfied clients. In dealing with the ultimate purchaser as well as the tenant your business like approach left little to be desired. All in all I was thoroughly satisfied with your services and would recommend you to others without hesitation.

David M. Yager, Attorney at Law

We are writing this note to thank you for everything you did to help us sell our duplex on Montgomery Street. As you know, we did have it on the market before with other agents, but with no success. We were pleased with the fair and careful way you handled things for both your client (the buyer) and for us. Thank you for your attention to detail that helped us sell this investment property so that we can enjoy our upcoming retirement.

Frank and Maria Pineda

Kathleen was very patient, explaining in detail the intricacies of the selling process, and why each step she took needed to be done. She always suggested, rather than insisted and was extremely tacful and sensitive, not only with me but also with agents and clients. Her training as a teacher was evident...I hope you realize what a gem of a sales agent you have in Kathleen.

A satisfied seller,
Ursula Selyem

It's coming up on a year since you helped me get my place and I want to thank you again. I am so happy with it and so happy when I am at home. Your generosity and help have made a huge difference to my life and well-being.

Cathy O

Kathleen represented us very well as we are out of town owners, and at times access to the property was difficult. A professional sale with full knowledge of the market, buyers, and potential returns in the local real estate market.

Thank you again for all of your assistance with this transaction. Selling and moving can be difficult and stressful, and so much more so when you are older and have been in a home for 40+ years. My entire family, and especially my aunt and I, really appreciate how smoothly this transaction came together and realize how much more difficult it would have been on all of us if we had had to put the property through a typical marketing campaign. Frankly everyone is still amazed that it all came together so quickly and so well.

Sincerely,
Nancy and Nancy Gaines

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have Kathleen as our realtor and our friend.

Bill & Christie Hopper

Thank you so much for your hard work selling my Dad's home. It would have been a difficult and even frustrating experience for me, being so far away, with so much work to be done to get the house ready. But I felt like I was there because you took care of everything, large and small, just as I would have. That's a rare experience for me! Your knowledge, judgment, diligence and sales skills all were more than we could have asked for. We were so lucky to find you! For Deb, Carrie and myself, Thank You!
