I am incredibly lucky to be living in beautiful Santa Barbara now for over twenty years. I moved here after completing college in San Francisco and then a year abroad teaching English in Latin America. For 15+ years I worked in graphic design, web design, multi-channel marketing, e-commerce, art direction and management. As a side hobby, I bought, sold, built and remodeled homes in Santa Barbara. Ultimately, being in and around real estate proved to be my true passion.
Kit goes above and beyond. Working with her was so easy and she actually made the process of buying a home fun and relatively stress free. She's the best! If I ever need to buy or sell again in the Santa Barbara area, she will be the first person I call.
Kit did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our house. In the house search process, she was very supportive in her encouragment, and was also very intuitive as to what our needs/wants were. Her expertise in the market's geographic area was instrumental in determining what a good house value is. Kit was very involved in all aspects of the closing, and was very friendly, straightforward and responsive throughout. She always gave great advice, and helped recommend contractors for when we moved in and wanted to make home improvements. We'd work with her again in a hearbeat, and have already been recommending her to people we know looking for stellar agent.
After a lot of soul searching, we decided to sell our home of 26 years. It wasn’t just a huge financial decision, but an emotional one. Kit’s affable nature, positive attitude, and comprehensive market assessment assuaged our concerns. She brought in a stylist to improve the look of our space, and set up a steady stream of advertising, showings and open houses to get potential buyers in the door. Her proactive, honest communication style clearly paid dividends with her many agent relationships. Kit was the trusted partner we wanted, exceeding our expectations and getting our home sold at a fair price with minimal complications.
We wanted to go with best of what Santa Barbara/Goleta had to offer, and Kit delivered in all fronts. She was aware of the process and got the punch list prepared on what needed to get done and helped us set all of that up as we were not living in in the area anymore. She kept us in the loop all along the way, discussed anything encountered and needed to be addressed. The process was smooth. This is what you get when you select someone who is experienced and highly known in the market. She and her team are hardworking, diligent and drive results for you. I would recommend them anytime.
Kit is absolutely amazing! We worked with her over the course of several months in the highly competitive market of Santa Barbara and in one of the most, if not the most, saturated buying segments here. Through the whole process, she continually demonstrated her decades of knowledge and experience in this market and was gracious with her time. Kit was never pushy or impatient with us. It was clear that our happiness was her priority. We couldn't have hoped for a better agent! There's a reason she's in the Top 0.5% of Berkshire-Hathaway agents nationwide.
My wife and I chose Kit after considering several agents when we were looking to buy our first house in Santa Barbara. We are extremely pleased with our decision, as Kit consistently exceeded our expectations. Thanks to her deep market insight about the Santa Barbara area, we were well informed throughout the search and buying process. Like the rest of the country, the SB real estate market was going hyper-competitive and challenging for buyers. We are grateful that Kit was patient and helpful with us. She worked hard always responsive to give our offers the best chance, encouraged us to keep moving when ours were outbid, and told us when a deal was not the right one for us. We consider Kit among the top 5% professionals whom we had had the privilege to work with as their clients. She always put our best's interests first. In the end, she helped us purchase the condo that we have been extremely happy with, at a price below the market value. She also played a major role in getting the deal closed quickly and successfully.
Kit Peterson has been an outstanding leader in the quest and acquisition of my new house. I literally couldn’t have moved forward with my dream of being a home owner in Santa Barbara without her tremendous expertise and eager guidance to dig in and find all the answers to make everything go smoothly for me and my family. She was always there for us with great advice and contagious enthusiasm. We are forever grateful to Kit Peterson who made it all happen.
Kit helped us find our dream home in Santa Barbara in a competitive price range. She educated us on all the different neighborhoods and walked us through many, many homes. What we really appreciated about Kit was her knowledge, her patience, and her flexibility. What we thought we wanted in the beginning of our search changed over time and she adapted to continuously meet our needs. Plus, Kit is well connected in the community and she connected us to many local resources. I would highly recommend working with Kit Peterson.
Kit went above and beyond to help us find a home that would meet our needs in Santa Barbara in a highly competitive market. We did most of our home tours virtually with Kit's help. Not only would Kit send us information on homes she thought would be a good fit for us, she was extremely knowledge about the various communities in Santa Barbara. In addition, she responded to our many questions in a timely manner. Kit was professional throughout the home buying processes and was extremely personable and a pleasure to work with.

I have bought and sold several homes in the Santa Barbara area with several different Realtors. By far Kit was the best we have ever worked with. We had a complicated escrow which required a lot of changes. Kit was so responsive and calmed our nerves on many occasions. Kit not only handled the purchase of our new home professionally, but she has been so much help with her knowledge of the area and her contacts. She has put us in contact with Movers, Architects, Contractors etc.. Kit definitely goes above and beyond to ease the stress of purchasing a home. Thank you Kit for everything!!

I met Kit when she was selling a condo I was interested in. She was helpful and friendly from the get-go. The market in Santa Barbara was wild when I was looking and I had a modest budget and was outbid on two separate properties. Things looked pretty hopeless, as properties were limited and went fast. But Kit hung in there with me and encouraged me and eventually got me into a condo complex I had my eye on since I first started looking. I appreciated her diligence, knowledge and willingness to walk me through each question I had. I wouldn’t own property in Santa Barbara if it weren’t for Kit So, if you want to buy or sell real estate in Santa Barbara, I highly recommend you use Kit. She’s the best!
Kit has in depth knowledge of the greater Santa Barbara area, particularly concerning the many factors that affect the overall quality of life such as school quality, noise levels, etc. She therefore has great skills and intuition for evaluating the monetary value of a home. She is also very well known, respected, and liked in the industry which ended up being a key component in our negotiations.
Kit is the best! Wish we could give her 10 stars. From start to finish, our journey through buying a property in Santa Barbara was excellent thanks to her. Kit has a keen knowledge of the local area and market, she's responsive and respectful and smart. Kit is also just a complete pleasure to work...
Kit is very knowledgeable of the SB market and a pleasure to work with. We looked for quite a while and bid on a number of homes before we finally got a deal done, and she was patient, encouraging and upbeat while also keeping us apprised of opportunities. The purchase was handled well and Kit...
