Recent Client Review for the ZiaGroup

I just received a review from the out of state client who purchased the home discussed in my last blog post. Thank you Aileen!

"My wife and I met Daniel a few years ago when I was looking for a summer rental in Santa Barbara. I thought he was so kind and generous with his time-for just a rental. We fell in love with Santa Barbara and always toyed with the idea of purchasing a summer home there.

An unexpected opportunity fell into my lap in September 2009. I am now officially the owner of a property purchased through Daniel, with the transaction taking place while I was in the comforts of New York, in less than 30 days. As luck would have, Daniel sent an e-mail to us and we pretty much took his word on the condition of the property. He emailed us photos immediately and followed through exceptionally well. Whatever we didn't know, Daniel did. His no pressure attitude, in conjunction with his confidence in himself and the property he had found for us, was undeniable. He was forthcoming with even the smallest details about the property. His honesty and his attention to detail were apparent from the beginning. We put great faith in him, as this was a long distance purchase on a property that we had not seen. I really could go and on about his professionalism. There was not one question that stumped him during this very untraditional purchase. He did his research and kept us abreast to all progress. His professionalism and knowledge were paramount.

Let me say that finding Daniel Zia was an absolute gift to us! He facilitated me purchasing my dream summer home in a matter of 30 days and he has continued to offer his services post transaction. He has checked in on the house since we are not there. Knowing he is still available to me really puts my mind at ease. He puts his heart and soul into his work and you would be very fortunate to have him on any side of your real estate transaction!" -Aileen Zemel

The ZiaGroup team located this home for an out of state client close to Butterfly beach. This beautiful beach remodel was updated throughout with exceptional attention to detail including granite counter tops, custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a large pantry, wood plank floors throughout the downstairs, an outdoor living area with a patio, water/pond features, BBQ, a built-in spa and fireplace. It is truly a phenomenal property.

The property had an exceptional amount of interest from buyers and is an example of how much activity has picked up over the past three months. If you are currently searching for residential real estate in Santa Barbara, know that properties priced well are frequently selling for 5-20% above the asking price as seller’s are motivated and they know they will attract the attention with a “low” ask price. REO properties are priced well and are favoring cash buyers over buyers with higher bids that require financing.
