"We had a fantastic experience working with our Realtor, Sandy Lipowski, while purchasing our summer home in Montecito. For many months before we even made the trip to California, Sandy stayed in close contact with us—sending listings weekly and keeping us informed about the local market. She was incredibly responsive and patient, and we really appreciated the ongoing dialogue. We even bonded over football along the way—while we’re Eagles fans and she’s a Bills fan, we still managed to root for each other’s teams! When we finally arrived in Montecito, Sandy showed us around with no pressure at all. In fact, my partner Phelan and I had agreed we were just going to look, not buy—but somehow, thanks to Sandy’s guidance and insight, we found and purchased a beautiful home. We trusted Sandy completely to negotiate on our behalf and look out for our best interests, and she absolutely delivered. Even after the purchase, she has continued to be a valuable resource, especially when it comes to recommendations for subcontractors. We always enjoy seeing Sandy when we’re in town, and if we ever decide to sell, she will be our first call without hesitation. Highly recommend! Cyndi & Larry "

"Steve and I have known Sandy Lipowski since 2004 when she found us our dream home in Montecito. We gave her our wish list and specifications and within no time, she had completed her task, guided us through the escrow process, and welcomed us into the home. Her attention to detail and knowledge of real estate is outstanding. And she was right there when the mudslides occurred. As a year and 7 months have gone by since the mudslides, Sandy has not wavered in her concern for us. We decided not to rebuild and instead, she was able to find us another dream home in Montecito that we purchased last October. Then, she was able to sell our distressed property and close in 21 days! Sandy is tenacious, unwavering, and has a high degree of business acumen and honesty. Sandy is a superstar in the cosmos of real estate agents."

"I have just concluded my sixth very successful transaction with Sandy. Three purchases over time, and three sales, as my needs changed – each time Sandy delivered excellence in closing complicated transactions. Sandy educated me about the different neighborhoods in Santa Barbara, showed me the inventory over a number of months, and ultimately found me a house — not on the market — where she knew the owners would entertain an offer. I highly recommend Sandy for her level of client service and market knowledge. Several years later I needed a different home to accommodate an elderly parent and once again Sandy identified a property before it came on the market, so my offer could be submitted the morning of the broker open house. She expertly guided me through the seller-delayed-escrow process and the sale of my previous home. We then sought a larger home and Sandy was able to navigate a complex probate sale and we successfully closed on the house we wanted. And now with some mixed feelings we have sold our home and moved away from that beautiful town. Sandy’s market knowledge and marketing approach delivered a successful and quick closing at an attractive price. Both we and the buyer are satisfied with the entire process."

"There is no better feeling – when going through the sale (or purchase) of a property, than to know you are “well” represented through the process. In terms of my transaction (sale), Sandy really exceeded all expectations and made it a painless and seamless deal. In a highly sought-after location (Montecito), she not only came out of the gate with an outstanding listing and pictures on the MLS, but she managed an entire team of people (myself included), without a single hiccup. Once on the MLS, we were in escrow lickety-split, successfully closing without any issues whatsoever. She is highly regarded by her peers, which says a lot in our highly competitive real estate industry, especially when there is constrained inventory availability. She is super friendly and easy to work with, and so pleased I chose her to be my representative. Sandy was able to garner the highest value for me for my home, and I am truly grateful for all the diligence and behind-the-scenes hard work done by not only Sandy but all on her team. I absolutely recommend using Sandy, no matter where your property is located. She doesn’t just list your property passively- so goes out of her way to over-exceed any expectations you may have. She is the superstar of the real estate industry. Ask anyone who knows her or has worked with her!"

"Sandy is hands down, by far the best real estate agent in town. She met all the challenges of my sale with ease and grace, going above and beyond the duties of a broker. Because of Sandy’s absolute expertise and professionalism, I was able to trust her to get the job done as quickly as possible, and she did! Sandy understands the complicated and very emotional process of buying and selling a home, and she handles it all with superb humor, assurance, and aplomb."

"Sandy Lipowski orchestrated the purchase of my new home in Montecito. Sandy was professional and very thorough in all aspects of the sale. The property was very complicated due to it location. Sandy worked very hard with all the agencies to push the sale through. I also was able to contract an architect, builder, termite, landscape and handyman etc. all through Sandy’s contacts. I felt Sandy was definitely in my corner through the entire sale."
