Client Testimonials

I had just relocated to Santa Barbara and a friend had highly recommended Rachael Douglas as a realtor. I was told she was highly knowledgeable of what was available on the market and what was becoming available in the future. She was passionate about her profession. I met someone who actually cared and made sure I had the house I wanted and needed. The house I bought was highly sought after with several offers. It was through her experience and skillful negotiations that I was able to secure my home. Rachael Douglas and Mia Wamsley have tremendously helped in getting the people I need to make my property my home. I consider them friends.

Rachael and Mia were exceptional realtors for me. They took over the listing after an unfortunate experience I had. They hit the ground running. Rachael was on the property within a few hours of receiving the listing. She was brutally honest with her assessment, and she was right in every way. She had the carpets cleaned, the walls and countertops cleaned, and she and her team arranged for a staging of the property. She had a private showing of the house the next Monday, had a viewing for other realtors and some interested parties on the following Wednesday. By Thursday morning I had 3 full price offers, and I closed on the house the Tuesday of the following week. This all happened smoothly even though I was 2000 miles away. Rachael and Mia are a great team, they handled all of the paperwork perfectly, and they responded to all of my emails, texts, and phone calls in a very timely fashion. I am so happy I was able to connect with the nice ladies. I highly recommend them to everyone

Mia was terrific in every way! Her open, friendly and confident manner was evident from the start. The comments and observations Mia's made at her first walk-through of our home made it easy to trust in her judgment. Then the very comprehensive sales package sealed it for us. The photo shoot, open houses, and communication were all handled in an efficient and professional manner. Our house sold for a great price within weeks, and we couldn't be more satisfied. We highly recommend her services and are sure you will be just as pleased as we are.

Every once in a while, an awesome business relationship comes together and continues to develop making the process of buying a home a truly amazing and rewarding experience. Without question, working with Rachael Douglas and her associate, Mia Wamsley, was the best decision we made. Together, their patience, persistence and positive approach quickly made us realize how fortunate we were to have them on our team. They both went above and beyond our expectations working tirelessly: pivoting without pausing, while staying in front of our constantly evolving direction. Rachael, along with Mia, were always one step ahead on new listings. Once we were ready to make an offer, their negotiating skills and advocacy sealed the deal and their thorough attention to detail during escrow kept us on track. Before we could blink, they were handing us the keys and introducing us to the neighborhood.

On January 1, 2022 We set a goal to become homeowners in this beautiful city of Santa Barbara!! We have had the great honor and privilege to work with Mia Wamsley. When we embarked on our new journey we were completely out of our element, we were in something completely foreign. Mia worked with our schedule coming into our place of business after hours. She answered all the questions and concerns we had. She came out with us to the properties we absolutely loved. As we walked into La Paloma property we knew this was the one for US!!! Mia helped us put in our offer, she worked with our loan officer and put pressure to meet deadlines. This experience is truly an amazing one and I can't put it into words. This testimonial will not do Mia the justice she deserves!! She helped us with a new chapter of our lives and was honest and very personable. Every step of the way she knew this was so much more than buying a property. This was about our family and new beginnings for all!! We forever appreciate you!!!

Rachael was recommended to us by one of our clients. And we’re so glad he did! I came away from our first meeting feeling that she was very genuine in her desire to help us not only sell our home but make sure that our move to buy a home in Idaho would be a success. Rachael is very well connected in the community and beyond. She researched and recommended a good CPA. She gave us the name of a great realtor and a great lender in Idaho. She recommended a good moving company. She even found free wood chips for our landscaping. She and her associate Mia are a well-oiled machine. Within days we were given a timeline of things that needed to happen and when they needed to happen. We appreciated her knowledge and candor when it came to comps, pricing our home, and how to prepare our home for an open house. The response time to our texts and calls was always prompt. Rachael takes a very proactive approach to negotiating as well. Because we hadn’t found a place yet to live, she was able to include within the purchase agreement a 90 day lease back in our home after sale, giving us time to find a new place. I wish she had a clone in Idaho! April 11th our house was put on the market - May 27th the house closed escrow. What more can be said.

Rachael and her associate Mia recently helped my husband and I buy our first home in this crazy SB market. We are absolutely in love with the house and are extremely happy with the process.

Rachael and Mia are both passionate, driven, and sincere, and we felt right away that we could trust them. They were always available and gave us just the right amount of advice for us to make our decision. Rachael's expertise and knowledge of the local market is already top notch, and her and Mia are constantly studying the market and strategies, which was key to us securing our offer. And did I mention they are super fun to work with?

We would highly recommend Rachael and Mia to anyone, either buying or selling a property. If you are looking for a team of go-getters (I say this as my highest compliment), give Rachael a call and you'll know what I mean.

We had been looking for property in Montecito for over 3 years and met Rachael at an Open House. We instantly knew we had found the right agent who could Find us what we had been searching for. Within 6 months Rachael had found a spectacular property, negotiated a smooth transaction and now we are living our dream.

As first time home buyers, we had told ourselves it would take a few years to get what we want. We were referred to Rachael and 7 days later we wrote an offer and went up against 8 others Buyers. Rachael’s excellent negotiation skills got us our house!! We still can’t believe we got exactly what we wanted and with such quick results!
