Kind Words from some of Dianne and Brianna's Out-of-Town Selling clients:
“Dianne and Brianna were with us every step of the way in the sale of our family beach condo. Not only did they give us expert advice on prepping our unit that would give us the biggest gains, but they also have a relationship with local contractors that were able to meet our needs quickly and professionally. The staging they did for us totally created the "Wow" factor, and created a ton of interest and a quick sale!!” - Georgia B
“I really can’t say nice enough things about the work of Bri and Dianne Johnson. As a first time seller, I was a bit unsure going into the process, but they made the entire experience so easy. They were very responsive to any questions I had, maintained professional communication, and could not have been more kind. I was selling an investment property from afar and they handled everything in town wonderfully. They organized a beautiful staging of the home, listed with stunning marketing, and we received multiple offers within a few days. They helped facilitate a 14 day escrow flawlessly and I could not be happier! I highly recommend Brianna and Dianne to anyone looking to buy or sell their property.” - Meghan M
“Super satisfied with D&B Johnson! They helped me sell a property from 1,800 miles away! The house had been a rental so it needed a LOT of work before we could put it on the market. D&B found painters, cleaners, gardeners and flooring installers for me and supervised all the work. They kept me apprised of everything with pictures and texts. All the paperwork was handled seamlessly. We had an offer within 30 mins of hitting the MLS and multiple offers by the end of the weekend. If I could give them 10 stars I would! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!” - Lisa R
“I knew of Dianne Johnson from her work in the neighborhood of my townhouse. Dianne was involved with her own homeowner association and helped with getting some neighborhood improvements. Dianne and Brianna were incredibly helpful with every aspect of the sale of my townhouse. My townhouse was in need of many things and Dianne and Brianna assisted me with what would be worthwhile improvements for getting it sold. They selected the paint color and helped with getting a painter, they helped with the flooring selection, they selected light fixtures for the kitchen and bathroom and frames for the bathroom mirrors that suffered from corrosion along the edges. In addition to helping with the improvements, they staged the property beautifully. Everybody that saw the townhouse raved about the staging. They made what was a simple townhouse absolutely gorgeous. They assisted with the listing price by having associates from their office to the townhouse to give their ideas. Once the improvements and staging were completed and the listing price determined, Dianne and Brianna marketed the property immediately. Professional photos were taken for both print ads and internet ads that showed the property to perfection. Newspaper ads, the brokers' open house and the public open house were all scheduled within a week of setting the listing price. The townhouse received lots of attention and sold within a week of hitting the Multiple Listing Service, with multiple offers. It sold so quickly that a full-page ad in a local newspaper that ran a couple of days later wasn't really needed. After I had already decided to have Dianne and Brianna list my townhouse, I found out they had helped some acquaintances. They had the same success with the others, a quick sale of their homes because of the impeccable marketing of their houses at a proper listing price. Dianne and Brianna followed through from the beginning. Although my townhouse was a simple property, they treated it as if it was worth millions. I can definitely recommend them to anybody looking for terrific agents.” - Craig M
“I highly recommend the real estate team of Dianne Johnson and Brianna Johnson from Village Properties in Santa Barbara. I sold a Spanish Revival house that has been in my family since it was built in 1933. I live in Orange County and even though I have spent a lot of time in Santa Barbara both as a child and as an adult, I didn’t know anything about the real estate market in the area. I interviewed three qualified agents, and ultimately chose Dianne and Brianna because I felt that they would do the best job for my family, and I have been highly satisfied with not only their professionalism but with their attention to detail throughout this process. They have educated me on how the home would be sold (marketing, staging etc.), kept me well informed and guided me expertly through the process. Dianne recommended what she felt the house needed in order to put it on the market, and she has been very proactive in preparing the house for sale from getting up front inspections to recommending staging the house and landscaping. Dianne and Brianna’s marketing skills are exemplary. I have learned that so much of selling a property today starts on line, and that staging the house and beautiful photos are of the utmost importance in presenting the house to potential buyers. Their photos of the house were fabulous, and really brought out the charm of the house. I felt very prepared as the house was put on the market. This is a family home that my grandparents built, that my mother grew up in and as kids we spent a lot of time in. Dianne and Brianna captured that in preparing the house for sale and were sensitive to the fact that the house holds a lot of memories. The house sold in just days, and we received multiple offers. Thank you to Dianne and Brianna for their professionalism and their expertise.” - Cathy R
