It’s rare, but some people recognize their life’s passion right from the start. Kathy Spieler is one of them.
Growing up in Santa Barbara, she learned about real estate from her father, who considered property to be the best possible investment. By the time she graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara, she had earned a real estate license to go with her BA in Business Economics.
Kathy immediately began training with the top real estate office in Santa Barbara. By the end of her first year, her total sales were already well into the multimillion-dollar range. Clearly, this was what she was born to do.
Today, Kathy draws on years of dedication and experience in the market to guide her buyers and sellers with confident skill. What they find most valuable is her lifelong love of Santa Barbara. “Of course it’s changed over the years, but its appeal has stayed the same,” she says, noting that property here has been a great investment over the long term. “In Santa Barbara, you’re buying more than property,” she explains. “You’re buying a lifestyle.”
That lifestyle has never lost its appeal for Kathy. She and her husband, Paul, raised their three children in the community where she grew up. “When I travel, I always love coming home to Santa Barbara,” she says.
She enjoys bringing others home to Santa Barbara as well, going the extra mile to help make their dreams realities. Many clients have worked with her repeatedly over the years. “I don’t look at an isolated transaction,” she says. “Our relationship continues far beyond the close. That’s definitely the most rewarding part of my job: looking for what fits my clients best until the next time they call me.”
• We have worked with at least 10 real estate agents in the last 10 years, and Kathy is by far the best. She is diligent, obtaining informing others don’t even try to get and making sure that all of the details of transaction are properly taken care of. Ours was a particularly difficult transaction and she was great.

• If I can say one phrase about Kathy it is “going above and beyond”. Kathy knows the market, is knowledgeable on comparables, familiar with specific areas and has a great understanding of her clients and their needs. This combination makes her a great agent and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Santa Barb area.

• I just wanted to send a note to recognize the incredible job that Kathy Spieler did as out realtor. Her charm, caring personality, ethicality, competence, commitment and overall dedication to her work, even well after the sale, dramatically eased out hours-buying experience.
In sum, Kathy far exceeded our expectations for a realtor. We are looking forward to another opportunity to work with Kathy.

• It’s now been six months since we moved into our new Santa Barbara home and we are just as excited about it now as we were the day we move in! We appreciate all of you hard work and attention to detail as you negotiated the offer and we completed closing within a short escrow period. You really helped make the entire home buying experience enjoyable-and the outcome is perfect.
Dave and Diana
• We never thought that we would be able to purchase a home in Santa Barbara. Our dream came true, due to low interest rates, and your expertise in real estate. We both felt very comfortable in your company and with your decision making. We highly recommend you and won’t think twice to ask for your services again.
