"We would recommend Chris without hesitation! He's honorable, thoughtful, and truly cares.
We were connected to Chris via a professional referral from the east coast. Since our initial conversations all the way through to our recent transaction, Chris has demonstrated expert competency on all fronts. He's patient, listens well, and is very particular about construction quality etc. He also has an extensive local network of experts that can help you quickly ascertain any renovations or further studies of as built conditions. We toured many homes throughout our search, and it was clear listing agents have tremendous respect for Chris and that translates in any local market, but is especially important in Santa Barbara.

"Conscientious, Responsive, Experienced
Chris Hunt is one of those truly passionate individuals who is able to lock in on the needs of his clients and see all sides of the equation. His conscientiousness and attention to detail were a huge asset in ensuring we got the best deal on the purchase. This purchase in particular had many unique factors involved and I am so grateful to have had Chris in my corner to help navigate through each aspect. His depth of experience was very clear during the purchase process. Another key factor is the insight Chris has on this region in particular. It's a good feeling to have the confidence in your agent on that level. Always responsive, ready to go at a moments notice, always on point. He's a great asset in the real estate world. I couldn't recommend Christopher Hunt more. He's my go to agent.

"Chris is an excellent agent to work with whether you are buying or selling a home!
We have worked with Chris since 2015 when we decided to return to Santa Barbara after living on the east coast for 12 years. When we flew to California, Chris helped us find a home and get a home inspection in 1 week, while we were in town. We flew back east, but he stayed in close contact with us throughout the purchase of the home. He also interviewed potential renters, found a suitable renters, and managed our property until we were ready to relocate to Santa Barbara. When we decided to sell this home we called Chris and he, successfully, marketed our home so it would sell in a timely manner. While he was managing the sale of our current home, he was also handling the purchase of our new home. As always, he handled all unforeseen matters that came up, with great professionalism, skill, and the years of knowledge he has as an agent! We highly recommend Chris Hunt to any of our friends if they need a great real estate agent!" -Mark & Lee (Seller)
