TESTIMONIALS

  • "Despite the many address changes, one thing remains the same: the best agents we have ever worked with are the Riskin Partners Estate Group. Whether helping us find jewel box properties before they hit the market or selling special, significant estates that we are ready to part with, they have exceeded our high expectations at every turn."

    ELLEN DEGENERES

  • "Riskin Partners is without doubt the preeminent Real Estate Brokerage in Santa Barbara. We have had the pleasure of working with them on the sale and purchase of two homes in Santa Barbara. They have been professional, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable in every nuance of Real Estate, especially as it pertains to Santa Barbara."

    PETER SMILLIE

  • "We have worked with Riskin Partners three times over the years—first when they represented the owners of a house we bought, second when they represented us as sellers of that house, and most recently, representing us as buyers of a new house. Every time it has been a joy. They are all intelligent, delightful, genuine people—never once have we thought they had their own interests above ours. And their market expertise is astounding. We can't recommend them highly enough."

    ERIK TORKELLS

  • "Really cannot say enough about this team of professional realtors. Not only did they see us through the “finding a home” phase, but they went beyond what would be expected of a realtor. When we finally found our “perfect” home, they took over everything for us from the beginning to the end of the process."

    PEGGY FINEFROCK

  • "From the 1st meeting to the close of escrow the entire Riskin Team exceeded my expectations! With the importance of bringing a finished product to market to the small details of a long escrow the group showed the expertise, guidance, attention, and patience that is key in a successful real estate transaction. I can’t praise this group enough for the experience that I had with them."

    BRIAN HARDT

  • "Dina, Jasmine and the entire Riskin Team are incredible! They found a new home that was not on the market and worked hard with us to close escrow in two weeks. Our family is very grateful to Riskin Partners."

    JIM MCFARLANE

  • "We sold a large property in Santa Barbara through them. Throughout the process they were professional, knowledgeable and extremely honest (which is very important to us). I have had multiple dealings in buying and selling homes since moving to California in 1978. Riskin Partners was the best I have dealt with at every level."

    ROBERT FELL

  • "What we discovered is that their partner model means any of their realtors can assist if and as needed in all facets of a transaction. Even more importantly we came to realize that Riskin really, truly -- and no mere cliché --puts client ahead of everything. They want nothing more than their client’s happiness and will spend countless hours making sure dreams are met, stresses banished."

    STEPHEN GORDON

  • "The Riskin Partners team was absolutely incredible. They excelled at all aspects of the transaction. From pricing to marketing, negotiations and post-sales support…all their services were superior. Their expertise was critical at all points. They were on top of every detail and handled everything flawlessly right through our last piece of furniture leave the house and handing over the keys. They kept us informed every step of the way and provided on point advice and recommendations all along the way. I would highly recommend Riskin Partners if you are looking to buy or sell in the Santa Barbara area!"

    GLENN DOSHAY

  • "We used Riskin Partners to sell our Montecito home as well as purchase a new home in Montecito. Their organization is professional and easy to work with. Both transactions had their share of complexities and all were handled well. We recommend them without hesitation."

    BRENT DILL

  • "Robert and his team of outstanding realtors deliver everything you could hope for when looking to purchase a home. They're warm, friendly, experienced, professional, thorough, tireless and know the market better than anyone. We never felt pressured or pushed to make a decision. Robert and his team are respectful and patient while being straightforward throughout. An absolute delight to work with, there is simply no one better in Montecito."

    RAWSON THURBER

  • "I had the great pleasure to work with Riskin Partners on the sale of a property in Hope Ranch to benefit a local environmental nonprofit. Sarah, Jasmine, and everyone on the team did an outstanding job to bring in buyers and maximize the value of the property WAY beyond expectations. This was an older property, but the staging and presentation were absolutely transformative and generated a lot of interest. The team has the highest level of expertise on the nuances of this market, and they bring a ton of creativity, insight, integrity, and toughness to negotiations and everything else they do. They are great to work with and have in your corner. "

    ALEX KATZ

  • "We had the pleasure of working with Riskin Partners again, specifically Sarah Hanacek and Samantha Joyner. Sarah listened to our list of "had to haves" and found us an amazing property that checked all the boxes. Most importantly, Sarah and her team made the home buying process easy and enjoyable. Sarah and Samantha were always available and on top of every little detail. After searching for a long time for the perfect Montecito ranchette, we are still pinching ourselves that Riskin was able to make our dreams come true! Thank you to the entire Riskin Team."
