A Seller’s Dream

As a seller in a distressed market and probably the worst time of year for real estate I decided to put my house on the market. After interviewing many of the top real estate agents in Montecito and getting a lot of negativity I choose Maureen for her enthusiasm, her positive attitude, and her energy. Within a matter of weeks, in the worst market in real estate, Maureen brought me a qualified buyer and made selling my property as easy as she could for me. I can’t recommend Maureen enough. She truly is a seller’s dream.

Sincerely,

Joyce Brock

We Trust Maureen!

Without the patient guidance of Maureen McDermut, we would not now own the home of our dreams. Not only has Maureen demonstrated tremendous skill during one of the most difficult real estate markets in history, but she has also shown extreme patience in finding us not only a house, but our ideal situation.  She listened to us and paid attention, providing sound advice along the way.  After nearly two years of looking for the right opportunity, it would have slipped away save for Maureen’s keen sense of the decisive action necessary to close the transaction.  As a professional investor, the “art of the deal” is something that I am intimately familiar with.  When it comes to finding, assessing and making the right “deal” in Santa Barbara real estate, there is no one we would trust above Maureen McDermut.

Maureen Taught Us!

We learned a lot from Maureen when we sold one house and bought another in Montecito in late 2008. She taught us that selling is about preparation, presentation, right-pricing for the real world, good marketing and closing with the right buyer. Buying is about careful comps, the right property, good cultivated relationships with the sellers’ agents, and smart offers and counters. Maureen listened to what we wanted, suggested what we needed, and led us through the campaigns. Optimistic but no Pollyanna, tough in the trenches, organized, hard-working, and helpful in all sorts of unexpected ways, Maureen was an ally in the challenge and became a friend to our family.
