"If you need a good real estate agent, I want to recommend Cara Gamberdella, She has worked tirelessly for us in selling my father’s house. I don’t know how she remembers everything, but she does. She oversaw very detail of preparing the property for market, kept us up-to-date on market conditions and comparable property listings, anticipated possible pitfalls, explained complex paperwork and forms, and generally walked us through what could have been a much more stressful process. Her patience and confidence was much appreciated.Cara also worked for my wife in selling her parents home two years ago, and the great experience she had then was enough to send us to Cara again.Cara’s experience, knowledge, and care as a realtor shows, and we could not have had a better one."

As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous and overwhelmed by the idea of finding and purchasing our first home. Luckily, we had Nicole by our side, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide throughout this process! From the very beginning, Nicole took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and budget. We attended one of her home buying seminars which was incredibly helpful for us understanding the home buying process and the market at the time we were looking.
She was incredibly patient, answering all of our (many!) questions and explaining every step of the process in a way that made us feel confident and informed. We found a home we loved pretty quickly, and once we found "the one," Nicole went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth closing experience. From negotiating the best deal to coordinating inspections and paperwork, her attention to detail was unmatched. We were on a tight closing schedule and she got everything done in record time. Thanks to Nicole, we’re now proud homeowners, and we couldn’t be happier! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive real estate agent, we wholeheartedly recommend Nicole. She truly made our dream of owning a home a reality!

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Cara as we purchased our first home. I really can't say enough great things about her! She was extremely patient with us as we searched for over a year to find our perfect house. We felt so well taken care of and never doubted for a second that Cara always had our best interest in mind. Cara has a great wealth of knowledge to offer about the Santa Barbara/Goleta area as this is where she grew up. Every question (and there were many) we had for her throughout the process was always promptly answered and if she didn't know the answer off hand she would find out and get right back to us. I would highly recommend Cara as your agent - she will take amazing care of you as you make what will probably be the biggest purchase of your life!"

Nicole was an incredible agent. We met in October and closed in January. It was my first home purchase and Nicole was able to make it a lot less intimidating from the very beginning. She learned my needs and help steer me in the right direction every step of the way. In fact, it was Nicole encouraging me to visit the home I eventually purchased as she felt it would be a good fit. I wouldn't have visited otherwise. Aside from being super nice and friendly, she is incredibly proactive and responds immediately. Nicole's signature line reads, Your Friend & Realtor, and I would have to say that the friend part is definitely true, and that is what I've appreciated most throughout the entire process. A friend will make the whole thing a lot easier, and dare I say, FUN. Thank you, Nicole.

"Cara helped us find our dream home in Santa Barbara. We were extremely time constrained and had limited finances. Cara gave us undivided attention and worked miracles in terms of showing us a great selection of properties in a short window. She is knowledgeable and well informed of the SB community and offers balanced views and information of the various areas. She handled the negotiations with incredible skill and managed numerous details and unforeseen challenges. Cara goes above and beyond to research and attain the complete and fully disclosed answer to any issue. She is a true professional who will always be our go to agent in SB."

Nicole's Home Buyer Seminar was just what I needed to feel more confident/ knowledgeable about what it takes to buy a home! I went in with little prior knowledge and was unsure of where to start. Nicole and Elvin Wesley broke things down in such a thoughtful way. I highly recommend Nicole's services and the fantastic resources she provided.

"Cara was wonderful, offering to meet with contractors, inspectors, etc. for us. She is not afraid to work and we appreciated her efforts on our behalf. She works at establishing contacts and brought us prospective buyers and gave us feed back on their comments. We have heard that other agents are trying so hard to make the sale that I don't think that they have the best interest of their clients in mind. We also hear of properties being on the market for months & years. We were happy to have her represent us, the sellers. Our house sold very quickly. We have another Santa Barbara property on the Rivera that we plan to sell in the future and while we have many friends in the real estate business, we plan to list with Cara. I am confident I can go to her and get a realiable opinion on the value of our property and she will work with us to maximize the house to it's best advantages."

"Cara provided exceptional service in helping us sell our home and find the house of our dreams. Her integrity, depth of knowledge, and level of care is without compare. Throughout the search, and later negotiating process, Cara provided constant support and innovative solutions. We highly recommend Cara Gamberdella to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home in the Santa Barbara County area. You will be delighted and very well served!"
