Testimonials

"We had a fantastic experience working with Crysta Metzger of Sotheby’s International Realty as our real estate agent. We interviewed several agents before selecting Crysta, who had been highly recommended by good friends of ours. We liked that she was assertive and a bit aggressive when necessary—qualities we knew would be invaluable in someone representing and fighting for us. Once we found the Santa Barbara house we wanted, Crysta did an incredible job negotiating a purchase price that was much lower than we had expected, which was awesome! From there, she guided us through every step of the purchase and made the entire process remarkably easy. She connected us with a lender who secured a great mortgage interest rate, and she helped us find a roofer, plumber, inspectors, painters, and other professionals we needed along the way. She also recommended several insurance agents when we were looking for coverage. Crysta was responsive, knowledgeable, resourceful, and always looking out for our interests. Buying a house can be a stressful experience, but with her guidance, the entire process was surprisingly painless. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and would highly recommend Crysta to anyone looking for an agent who will truly advocate for them. "

"I’m so grateful to Crysta for helping me sell my dad’s house after he passed away. I had initially listed with another realtor but decided to make a change, and she handled the transition with grace and professionalism, including communicating directly with the previous realtor. She was incredibly thorough, hardworking, and a creative thinker throughout the entire process. She had the house beautifully staged, helped make the decision to adjust the price, and ultimately got it sold within a month. Selling my dad’s home was an emotional process, and I truly appreciated having someone I trusted who was proactive, thoughtful, and willing to work hard every step of the way. I highly recommend her!"

Crysta is the best! I’ve known her for years as she sold us our property originally. Her assistant, Trent, was wonderful as well! Great communication and follow up.

I recently had Crysta represent me as a purchaser of a secondary home. Being from out of town, Crysta made everything easy. She certainly is an expert of all things Santa Barbara and went above and beyond in making sure we were happy and well informed.

Crysta makes it happen! When my husband and I finally found the house for us, Crysta did everything she could to get it for us. She jumped through so many hoops and never got discouraged. There was at least one other offer on the house and that offer was cash and Crysta was still able to get our offer accepted. Crysta made sure that every inspection and every estimate went smoothly. She was there for everything. She kept everyone calm and was always very patient. She listened to everything and followed through. She got us into our dream family home!!!!

We were very pleased with Crysta’s performance in helping us find our new house. She was terrific: thoughtful, proactive, kind, conscientious, shrewd, energetic. We were the backup buyer on a property in a hot market. Crysta was able to help us navigate the challenging circumstances and get the house. She was a great partner in navigating all phases of the process. We recommend her, and will use her again next time.

Crysta is above and beyond the job description. She’s precise and creative ,superior to any professional I’ve ever worked with. I’ve had six business opportunities with her and she’s the reason they all were successful.

We researched and worked with several realtors to help u with our home search in Santa Barbara, and ultimately chose Crysta as we were super impressed with her knowledge and hustle. We felt like she took the time to understand our goals and identify which neighborhoods and home styles would be best for us. We felt like we were in great hands throughout the search, and were impressed by how much Crysta knows about homes in general (especially given that many homes we looked at needed some work). Crysta ultimately found us our dream home and made the entire process painless and stress-free. We'd highly recommend her, and look forward to working with her again in the future (although not too soon – we love our house! :) ).

Crysta is an excellent realtor. I have worked with her for several home sales and purchases in Montecito and Santa Barbara and she has always gone above and beyond. She is very professional, knowledgeable and skilled and I highly recommend her. She is connected with everyone and her clients are her top priority. I will use her again in the future.
