What our clients say about us…

“The Manzos demonstrate all of the obvious attributes one would desire and expect in a good Realtor:  knowledge of market trends, awareness of listing and sales activity, competency in writing and interpreting real estate contracts and amendments, the ability to listen to their clients and provide prudent counseling and advice, and a willingness to engage and involve other Realtors in the community in order to consummate a sale.  The Manzos have the skill set needed to excel in any line of business:  they consistently follow up and follow through and are empathetic to the needs and concerns of their clients.  They return every phone call and respond to every email and text without fail.  They are incredibly patient, always available and responsive and they always respect and honor the wishes, requests and opinions of their clients.”

“Louis and Susan were extremely adept at helping us navigate all preparations for and the subsequent showing of our condo.  Their suggestions were invaluable, and the attention to detail given to our listing made us feel as though we were their only clients.   When we needed help or advice, they were always there, even at odd hours.  Our questions and concerns were always addressed courteously and without delay.  As a result of their careful attention, we sold our unit in less than a week and for considerably more than our original asking price.  The process was much smoother and hiccup-free than we ever would have imagined.  We can honestly say we have never had a more positive customer service experience.    We can unequivocally and wholeheartedly recommend Louis and Susan Manzo.  We not only think very highly of them as real estate professionals of the highest order, but as genuinely nice people.”

~Mike & Laura Mullins

“Louis and Susan are very professional, great communicators and really know the local market.  They were extremely helpful with walking us though the escrow process and showcased a breadth of knowledge when answering the hundreds of questions that we had for them.  Their patience, knowledge and professionalism were greatly appreciated and we would gladly recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.”

~Joe & Maureen Anderson

“The Manzos make up a successful and dynamic duo…they went above and beyond the ordinary in helping us find an extraordinary place that we love.  They patiently walked us through each step of the (buying) process, from beginning to end.  They met our every expectation and continue to keep in touch with us and help us navigate the ups and downs of being new landlords.  I can’t recommend them enough in terms of their professionalism, diligence and perseverance in getting what is best for their clientele.”

~Annalee & Kelly Kennedy

“Louis and Susan Manzo’s experience and commitment to providing the best service and results set them far above the others in this market.  Louis and Susan equally bring different strong points to the table to provide an amazing team.  They both bring integrity, perseverance, professionalism, and a vast knowledge of the Santa Barbara market.  Susan and Louis were completely available to us at all times.  They made us feel like we were the ‘number one’ priority to them, when we knew they had other clients at the same time.  The only regret we have is that we are leaving Santa Barbara and we can’t take them with us to be our Realtors when we purchase our new home.”

~Tom and Leslie DeMarco

“Louis and Susan Manzo are so much more than Realtors.  Their excellent communication, wise negotiation, knowledge of varied neighborhoods, market trends and inventory combined with their empathy and deep interest in their clients make the stressful process of buying and selling a home in Santa Barbara enjoyable.  Louis’ knowledge of building codes and legal requirements along with Susan’s flair for aesthetics and staging make for a powerful ‘one-two’ combination that is unparalleled in the industry.  What sets them apart from the myriad of other options is how much they care about finding the right property for their clients.  They have taken personal service and care to a new level.  It’s a stretch to call anyone just a client of the Manzos because the care and attention they bestow instantly makes clients feel like long-time friends.”

 ~Jarrod Bradley

“Simply the Best!  Louis & Susan Manzo gave us 100% from start to finish.  They are the essence of true professionalism.  Their knowledge, experience and judgement are unsurpassed.  They treated us like family and we can't say enough good things about them, really!”

~John and Victoria Marsh

“Louis and Susan Manzo practice their real estate profession with the utmost care, knowledge, and timeliness.  Having been on both sides of a sales transaction with them, I can vouch for the quality of their representation and expertise, from listings to the offer process, for both buyers and sellers.  Their teamwork ‘sold’ my Santa Barbara home during a changing market.  They’re not just property agents – they’re real estate guides – and I feel fortunate to have had them on my team for the entire journey, to the close of escrow.”

~Stephanie Cook

“I had the pleasure of working with the Manzo Team for the selling of my rental duplex.  Susan and Louis are so professional and excellent at what they do…sell houses!!  They knew exactly how to get my property market-ready and present it best to other agents as well as prospective buyers. They have a wonderful reputation and are very respected in the community.  It will be my pleasure to work with them again, and I hope you will too.

~Esther Hur

“During escrow Louis and Susan were there at every turn, explaining documents, answering questions, reassuring us and taking care of the finer details of the sale that can be confusing and frustrating.  After the sale was finalized, my wife commented that she wished we would have the chance to interact with Louis and Susan again.  Not just as realtors, but as friends. “
