Abel’s Concierge Page
★★★★★
"Abel helped me find my 2nd home and now my 3rd home. Both times were a great experience. Abel is highly knowledgeable and very personable. He knows his job extremely well and I was definitely impressed. Buy and selling a home is a very stressful process but Abel handled it like a champ. He never let me worry about the process, he told me that was his job. He was always there to answer any questions or concerns I had. His communication with me throughout the whole process was excellent. He made sure I was kept to up to date with any and all information he had. He cares about the needs and wants of his clients. The happiness and satisfaction of his clients is his first priority. He went above and beyond for me and I appreciate him very much. I think realtors these days come a dime a dozen but Abel is truly amazing and stands out from the rest. He sets the example of what every other realtor should strive to be. If you want a realtor who cares about what you’re looking for in a house then Abel is the man! He is highly knowledgeable and personable. I would never turn to anyone else but Abel and his team. Abel continued to communicate with me even after the process was over. He made sure I was happy with my new house and asked if there was anything that I needed. I would absolutely recommend Abel to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you Abel for your hard work, endless patience and understanding." - Adriana

"Abel and his team went above and beyond to help me purchase my first home. I gave him specific items of what kind of home I was looking for. I was searching online and found nothing near to what I was looking for. After talking with Abel, just once, he found me four homes “to the T” of what I was looking for and within days. The last home I seen, I fell in love with. He even abliged me by showing it to me multiple times. We ended up going in to escrow when I was out of state and he took care of everything for me. I don’t think I could’ve had any other first time experience with any other realtor. I still recommend him to everyone I know whether they are buying or selling. I love my new home and so does my family. I couldn’t ask for a better blessing. Thank God for Abel... Five stars!!!" - Michelle

"Abel is by far the most knowledgeable and hardest working realtor you will find - we found our dream home and sold our previous home in 4 weeks with minimum stress. He absolutely knows his stuff and stays on top of every aspect of buying and selling so you never have to worry about a thing. He is a dream to work with - I seriously cannot recommend him enough. He is a class act all the way" - Naomi

"Abel was great! He was tentative, knowledgeable, and "went the extra mile". He sold my house while I was out of state and he took great leadership by informing me on everything that was happening, answered all my questions right away, and even did house touch up fixes. I felt I got the best deal I could selling my house and I truly believe it's because I had Abel on my side." - Ross

"Abel exceeded all expectations I had for working with a real estate agent. He's professional, reliable, fast and has so many resources at his fingertips. Abel helped me get my first house with my first offer and made it an amazing experience. He's the BEST in Santa Barbara, hands down. I've already recommended him to friends and family." - Briana864

"From the first conversation I had with Abel, I knew we wanted to work with him. He had been hand-picked for us by the realtor who handled a family member's estate in Los Angeles, and she sure got it right. During our initial phone call, I felt immediately at ease because the person on the other end of the phone was warm, down-to-earth, and a great listener. I instinctively knew that we could trust Abel to steward our best interests as we delved into first-ever home-buying (in a very tough market for buyers).
Throughout the experience, Abel proved to be diligent, attentive, responsive, kind, and extremely knowledgeable! He is incredibly hardworking but makes it all look easy with his sweet, easygoing nature. He was always ready to meet us for a viewing, even for homes that we were not realistically considering, because he believes it is valuable for clients to bring a fuller perspective to their home-buying. He always made it look like he had all the time in the world for us, when I know for a fact he is an incredibly busy professional and family man. He never pressured us; he listened for what we wanted and supported us fully to make it happen. He is as ethical as they come, and that comes not only from a professional code but also from the kind of person and community member he is. Santa Barbara is so lucky to have him!
Abel is so well-liked among locals in the real estate industry in Santa Barbara, and the advantage of his reputation to his clients cannot be overstated. Abel was instantly able to line up a fantastic team of people to help make our purchase happen, from the mortgage broker to various inspectors. Everyone wanted to get it done for Abel, and they were all outstanding. Even the seller's agents had a great relationship with Abel, and that worked to our advantage and DEFINITELY helped our offer get accepted in a highly competitive market. I believe that without Abel as our realtor, we would probably still be looking as I write this review. Working with Abel optimized our opportunities at every step of the process. And he stewarded us through the process painlessly--it was like having a friend who is a realtor help you buy a home.
We wholeheartedly recommend Abel to any buyer or seller in search of a realtor. Abel will be your greatest asset!" - CindyJWheeler4

"Abel is a fantastic realtor and we would've been lost without him! My husband and I moved out of CA across the country and Abel was such a huge help in navigating the sale process. He went above and beyond to help us with additional tasks outside of his standard job description (sending packages to our new place after we had left, coordinating things with contractors for repairs, etc). He seems to care about his clients and is very personable. Definitely recommend him for your buying/selling needs!" - Brittany Lee Stevens

His knowledge, excellent communication skills, and quick response to your needs makes him a standout. He worked diligently in all aspects of the sell to make sure I wasn't stressed or inconvenience. I highly recommend Abel." -rsatnick18
