Scott was the most professional, straightforward and knowledgeable agent of the many agents we met while browsing open houses in Santa Barbara. Unlike any agent we had used before, he provided us with a detailed market analysis on each home we were interested in. Scott always had time for us. He is the only real estate agent that we would recommend to anyone without hesitation.
- Tim Freeman and Gin Ingram
It was really through your diligent efforts that we were able to find and purchase exactly what we were looking for, both in location and price range. It was a real comfort to be able to be confident that we were being accurately informed and fairly represented.
- Stan Merriett
I chose Scott Williams because of his decades of experience in Santa Barbara real estate and the many highly laudatory and very grateful recommendations of his customers.Now I want to addmy voice to this choir. My experience selling my property was easy, flawless, and fast. Within aweek the property had been beautifully staged; within three days of being on the market, we had three offers.
Scott knowledgeably managed these offers with integrity. He walked me through the steps of a 1031 exchange, connecting me with an exchange agent. The sale was complete in one month. There were no hitches, no rough patches, no wakeful nights. I am confident the price received was the best it could be.

I recently moved into a home in Santa Barbara which I had the pleasure of purchasing with the help of Scott Williams and Susannah O’Dea of Berkshire Hathaway. I had been recommended to Scott by a family friend who had worked with him on purchasing multiple properties, and she said that he had helped her to win several bidding wars. Little did I know that his skill set would be exactly what I needed.
As a team, I felt like they were always in reach and that I was able to see a house that came on the market ASAP. I couldn’t speak more highly of Scott and Susannah. Scott’s extensive experience was invaluable and Susannah’s expert communication, guidance and professionalism make them an excellent team.
Though I had purchased a few properties in the past, my experience couldn’t compare in the least to this. I felt taken care of from start to finish, learning along the way. The purchase felt really ceremonious, which was something I didn’t know I valued until I experienced it. I would most definitely work with Scott and Susannah and recommend them to anyone in the future

Scott was a dream come true for us because we had a logistics problem. The home was a rental for 16 years and we live 300 miles away from Santa Barbara. A friend recommended Scott. From the minute we met we knew he had command of the housing market in Santa Barbara and what it would take to sell our home and relieve us of spending weeks or months away from our Los Gatos home.
By way of email, phone calls, texts, and FaceTime, jointly we picked out paint colors, flooring, repair issues, appliances, etc. He did this on his own time and at his own expense. Within 5/6 weeks the house was put on the market for a 6-day showing period. He brought us 3 offers, one well over the asking price. My husband and I have dealt with numerous realtors,and we can unequivocally say Scott Williams is by far the best one we have ever worked with.
- Patricia Rahn
I have been reading Scott’s newsletters for many years. He would keep me up to date on what was happening in the current market on the Mesa. I knew if I were ever to sell my home that I would choose Scott Williams as my agent. Scott provided me with a market analysis to price my property, updated it as the market changed. He walked me through the process of determining a great sale price and he was totally accurate.
He got property inspections ahead of time so there would be no surprises once the property got into escrow. Scott has an outstanding crew who made the necessary improvements, and everything was completed in a timely fashion. We received an offer above the asking price and worked through a smooth escrow. I would highly recommend Scott Williams and his staff to represent you if you choose to sell your home
- Pat
Scott Williams is a fantastic Realtor. We met Scott shortly after my mother passed away duringthe Covid-19 pandemic. Scott carefully outlined the changes in the process of selling the house during Covid-19. He also outlined the things we should consider doing to the house to prepare it for sale.
As for the improvements, Scott oversaw a nearly two-month process which included replacing the roof, painting the house, landscaping improvements and tree trimming to open up the feeling of space in the backyard. Miraculously, the house sold in less than a week with two cash buyers overbidding the listing price by nearly 10% and a 7-day escrow that actually closed in 6 days.
Scott was super responsive to my calls and questions and kept me completely informed along the way. There is definitely something special about working with Scott. I highly recommend Scott Williams. It was absolutely a five-star experience. I have been telling all my friends that I felt so blessed to work with Scott.
- Diana Heidelman
I have been involved in 10 transactions with Scott, both as seller and buyer, over thirty years. Scott is a detail oriented, superior negotiator and offers insightful feedback and direction throughout the process of selling or buying real estate. I have worked with other great real estate agents in Oregon, Pennsylvania and Michigan, and Scott remains at the top of my list. He is patient, thoughtful and an expert at staging and repairs, with excellent resources to assist your needs as a buyer or seller. If you’re looking for a helpful, personable and detail driven professional, I highly recommend Scott Williams.
- Katherine M.
We bought our first home from Scott more than fifteen years ago, he then helped us selling the same house in 2016. Recently, we used his service to list another property and closed escrow last week. Scott’s knowledge about the Santa Barbara housing market, particularly the Mesa, is unparallel. We are deeply impressed by his wisdom and professionalism. During the process, he constantly stayed in touch, communicated the problems timely, and presented the challenges and opportunities clearly to help us make the right choices. We were able to secure multiple offers and ultimately sell the house at a higher-than-expected price.
- Mike Yao
I have both bought and sold a house with Scott Williams as my Realtor. Choosing Scott was one of the best decisions of my life. When buying a house, Scott steered me away from a money pit, and helped me land the perfect house for me. Then 10 years later Scott helped me sell the same house for a 350% increase in price. By then, I had moved, so Scott coordinated the painting, landscaping, fixing up, staging, and re carpeting of the house while I worked in another city.
It felt wonderful to know that his care, expertise, and efforts were making me money while I was busy with other projects. When the house went on the market, it sold quickly and without any effort or worry on my part. Scott not only really knows what he’s doing,but he does it with a great attitude and a friendly manner. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
- Jonathan Robinson
From the time we first expressed an interest in looking at properties you displayed an outstanding degree of knowledge of the real estate marketplace and acted with the utmost in courtesy, straightforwardness, and professionalism. Rather than being needlessly confused and traumatic, the purchase of our first home has been an experience that has gone smoothly and has had a most happy outcome indeed.
- Michael Silverander
My husband & I came to know of Scott Williams several years ago as we would get his newsletters in the mail. His newsletters were always very informative & concise, keeping us very informed regarding home values & sales on the Mesa as well as predicted trends. I would also receive post cards from Scott of upcoming open houses which I would read about as well.
My husband & I have lived on the Mesa for 30 yrs. We’ve spent that time fixing our home to the point of perfection. Then…I received an open house post card in the mail from Scott Williams…I knew this was going to be the house of our dreams. It was… we now own the home… so our new journey begins… I highly recommend Scott Williams; he is on top of it efficient!! Scott knows what he is doing, has a systematic tried & true philosophy & plan. He is a good listener and has a calm yet direct persona. We highly recommend Scott Williams and would call upon him again without reservation.
- Diane Barrickman
Scott understood our needs and limitations clearly and focused our property search on suitable possibilities. He did not push us to buy and gave us all the time and space we needed to make the right decision. He made the process flow smoothly. In our experience, Scott is highly professional, ethical, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with.
- John Day and Ann Marie Konn
After arrived in Santa Barbara to seek a home on September 15, the next day, we launched to view affordable properties. This was the moment when Scott’s intuitive sense of his client’s needs showed. His consideration and awareness of the type of lifestyle we needed was acute. Within three days Scott found a home we knew was meant for us. I have never encountered a greater level of professionalism.
- Carol Bowser
I have personally utilized the services of Scott Williams with 10 transactions, buy and sell, over the years. This most recent transaction involved the remodel and sale of a multi-tenant property that had been in the family for nearly 20 years. In this transaction, the principal challenge was I live out of town, so management and oversight of the remodel needed to be split between direct management from Scott, and me remotely.
Scott performed a market analysis and determined items for remodel that would make the biggest impact on marketability. Scott managed upgrades of multiple bathrooms and kitchens, decking, flooring, lighting, and appliances resulting in complete makeovers of the units! Scott knows how to make a real estate investment work, and he knows how to get the transaction closed with everyone satisfied.
- Mark Rumer
The next step, after we had decided to sell our rental units, was easy: the Realtor had to be Scott Williams. You are the sole agent to give us the impression that you really mean business, you are persistent in that direction, you know how to conduct business, and manage congenial relations. You educated us on the best price point, rates of interest that would be acceptable to a prospective purchaser and much more. I feel that we received full value from your services. You arranged the sale with speed and finesse, you helped us avoid pitfalls, and as time passes, we appreciate more and more your ability to conduct business.
- Ralph A. Woodcock
This is the third house I have bought or sold through Scott Williams. He is Professional, Honest,and Transparent. He goes beyond being Real Estate agent; he listens, guides,and advises. In the 23 years that I have used Scott’s services he has been awesome and exceeded our expectations. In the house we just recently sold, remotely from the East Coast, Scott never hesitated to text, email, or call me by phone.
In this particular home sale Scott had pre-inspections done, he had upgrades, painting, repairs, photography, and staging done for us without us being there. Through Scott’s professional guidance we ended up with multiple offers and within 48 hours of the house going on the market. We did hit a few snags, but again Scott was there and helped to get everything resolved and pulled in other teams to help us out. Thank you, Scott, for all you have done! Next time we buy a house we will plan to use your services.
- Saad and Rashda Khan
We were very pleased with Scott’s help in marketing and selling our home. His extensive experience in the Mesa real estate market gave us confidence in his abilities, and he was a pleasure to deal with during the process. Scott’s initial market analysis, coupled with a strategy to make improvements to raise the home’s value, allowed us to bring our house to market at a perfect price point. Inspections were performed and many improvements were completed. Dozens of handyman tasks were completed, and the house was painted inside and out. The home came on the market as a shining example of home preparation. After less than a week on the market we received three offers, and our house sold for well over the asking price!
- Doug Imperato
We are very grateful to have been represented by Scott Williams and his team. Scott has extensive experience in real estate, knows the market, is honest,smart,and efficient. We live far from our property, but Scott and his team made it very easy for us. There was good communication about the progress of house repairs, marketing, and sale of our house. Scott’s team prepared the property for the market to achieve the best price and quickest sale for us. He worked with the budget we were comfortable with of $50,000.
He used that in his own words ‘to make the house glow’. And that’s exactly what he did. With this, Scott was able to get us an additional $120,000 on the selling price. He advised the best places to use that money in improvements. We are happy that he was our real estate agent. Anyone buying a house from him too should have the same confidence in him as he is fair and honest with what he is selling. We strongly recommend Mr. Scott Williams and his team!!!
- Tim O'Keeffe
Scott has a great internet presence. He has been sending me specific listings for over a year. When we finally sold our home, I contacted Scott who immediately made himself available. We came out for one day and visited many homes. When we found what we liked, he was instrumental in helping us negotiate with the seller. He was masterful to say the least. He was there for every issue and patiently walked us through them all.
I have met a lot of Realtors and while most of them are friendly and supportive, Scott has the experience and proven track record. I was impressed with his professionalism and genuine interest in our well-being. We discovered a Radon problem in our new home because Scott recommended that we test. He then helped us find a company that was able to mitigate the problem. Scott says what he does and does what he says.
- Manny Fernandez, Jr.
Scott proved to be an incredible guide and mentor during our home-buying process–walking us through the ins and outs of the Santa Barbara real estate market, drawing on his extensive experience in the market to focus our efforts, offering his guidance to optimize our house-hunting experience. He was marvelously flexible in working with our unusual schedule. He brought me along on agent visits to see homes at the earliest possible time.
When we finally found the home we desired, Scott proved to be an outstanding ally in our negotiations. He deftly maneuvered us through the negotiating process and saved us an appreciable amount. From start to finish, he was genuinely interested in saving us money and effort, rather than simply looking to make a sale. We were extremely fortunate to work with Scott and will gladly look to him for all of our future real estate activities. I am glad to recommend him whole heartedly, especially to those new to the Santa Barbara market.
- Nathaniel Craig
I wish to express our thanks and gratitude for all your recommendations, suggestions
and effort in helping us buy our new home. You stood up to all our expectations. All
deadlines were met during the course of the transaction; all problems were remedied as
they arose. I understand why you have been successful in your profession.
