What First-Time Home Buyers are Saying about working with Dianne and Brianna Johnson:
“Brianna & Dianne are truly exceptional realtors, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had them on our team as first-time homebuyers. They are a joy to work with and from our very first meeting, I felt completely confident in their knowledge and guidance in buying a home. They know the local market inside & out and are so well-connected in the area. Brianna & Dianne made the entire process feel far less overwhelming and I trusted them every step of the way. They put a great deal of time and care into their work, and made us feel like they had all the time in the world to help us. This allowed us to breathe knowing that not only were they experts but they had our back with every step, from searching for the perfect home to the transaction of buying a home. Their attention to detail, organization, and timely communication helped everything run smoothly, and their genuine care gave us peace of mind through the process. They celebrated our wins, supported us through the stress, and made the journey joyful. We are so grateful for their expertise, dedication, and the heart they bring to their work. Highly recommend working with Brianna & Dianne!” - Meaghan Y.
“Dianne & Brianna were everything we could have ever wished for when we bought our first house. Their knowledge is second to none, they’re so fun to work with and they made the whole process so easy. I will recommend them to everyone I know. We can’t thank you two enough!!” - Ryan V.
“We had a great experience working with Brianna and Dianne. They were always quick to respond and set up showings for us. They were patient with us as we were rather selective, and they managed to find the perfect home for us off market. We particularly appreciated their help during escrow. They arranged for several inspectors to come out the first two days of escrow and met with all of them. We managed to close in 10 days and couldn't have done it without them.” - Christie O.
“First time home owner here! Bri came to me as a referral and I couldn't be happier to have gone through my first home buying experience with Bri and Dianne. They went above and beyond for me, especially during a difficult market (i.e. mailing 200 letters to home owners in a development I was interested in!). Their patience, responsiveness, market/industry knowledge, and positivity helped ease the stress immensely. They helped me navigate every aspect of the process and was very constructive with their feedback, which made me feel confident that I was making the right decisions along the way. I will recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in the area.” - Aya M.
“Dianne & Brianna were incredibly helpful in assisting us with our very first home buying experience. They were patient with our questions, thoughtful in their explanations, diligent in their coordination, responsiveness and in helping us negotiate to get the deal done. With their combined experience in Real Estate, you truly can't go wrong working with them. They are trustworthy, helpful and efficient. 10/10 recommend, thanks Dianne & Bri!” - Katie V.
"Dianne and Brianna Johnson helped us to find our dream home and it’s not just an eye-catching phrase. We were looking for houses in Santa Barbara for about 3 years and the market was never friendly - we were disappointed multiple times. When we were ready to give up on our search, the opportunity presented itself, and Dianne and Brianna helped us a lot to make everything happen. Being a first-time home buyer in the tight Santa Barbara market can be stressful: everything is not cheap, there are tons of paperwork, but most importantly as a buyer you don’t know what to pay attention during the buying process – and that’s where having a good agent with local knowledge is crucial. Dianne and Brianna are great in that regard, they were very patient, have a lot of knowledge, and would answer any question in a detailed way, be that about the escrow, inspections, the state of the market or anything else. They scheduled the necessary inspections within a day after our offer got accepted, which would otherwise have taken weeks if we would search all the providers and schedule on our own. Furthermore, we have really enjoyed our interactions with them – Dianne and Brianna are always timely, polite, and very pleasant to have a conversation with. Everything went smoothly and as a result we are happy owners of our own home in Santa Barbara. We can’t thank Dianne and Brianne enough for this and would highly recommend working with them!” - Andrey A.
“Dianne and Bri were so pleasant to work with during this major milestone in our lives. They helped us find our home, showed us the property, and within a couple of days we made an offer were comfortable with. They briefed us on what to expect during the process, made helpful recommendations/suggestions throughout, and were always available for any questions or concerns that we had. Their years of experience and knowledge of the local market made us feel confident we were working with the right agents. We could not imagine buying our first home without Dianne and Bri and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their property!” - Dante G.
