SOME CLIENT REVIEWS

Every once in awhile you come across someone in life that truly stands out at what they do. For us, that person was Paul Hurst. Relocating to a new area brought excitement as well as fear. From the onset, Paul eased our concerns. He spent countless hours searching for properties that fit the profile and price point we were searching for. His local knowledge of the real estate market, his trustworthy and reliable attitude, and his genuine concern to help us find our dream home, made the process the most positive experience we've encountered. Paul Hurst is someone that we are honored to recommend to anyone searching for an agent in the Santa Barbara area. Our experience was perfect right through the closing process. We cannot thank him for all he's done for us. - Jim & Donna Hartman


I've been in the real estate development and management business for over 25 years. My wife and I met Paul at an open house he was sitting. We knew right away there was something special about him. When we shared with him what we had in mind he was able to supply us with all the information we needed to know to begin to make a quality decision. Paul decided to think out of the box and showed us some homes we hadn't even considered, and not long after, we were in negotiations to buy. During the entire process, Paul was an exceedingly capable and competent negotiator and counsel. We made our deal at a fair price, and couldn't be more delighted with our new home. Throughout the process and to this day, many days past the close of escrow, Paul has been there to offer assistance and help us. I can only say that with Paul you are getting an advocate who not only knows the market and what's on the market but also a consummate professional. Today we count him as a friend, not just our real estate broker. Thanks for all your help Paul. - Jim & Glennis Malcolm
