"Luke and his team found our new home, closed on it, and successfully sold our old home in under 6 weeks. The Ebbin Group is THE dream team. Since he represented us both as buyers and sellers, I can honestly say his genius on both sides of a real estate transaction is supreme. He is a negotiator that knows when to hit the gas pedal and when to tap the brakes. Excellence requires character, integrity, nuance, and experience. There is no one better."

- Virginia and Jerry McFerran

"Luke provided us with 5 star service in all aspects of finding our perfect Santa Barbara property. He was able to negotiate a complex transaction while we were out of the country and even found us temporary housing when we arrived. We would highly recommend Luke for any sale or purchase of real estate in the Santa Barbara area. He has the knowledge, integrity, and warmth that will make your experience a fulfilling one."

- Richard and Donna Haro

"My husband and I found Luke Ebbin to be a truly excellent real estate agent. Our family lived in Los Angeles but wanted to buy a home in Montecito. Luke looked for us, tirelessly, for almost 4 years until he came upon our dream home. He also helped in educating us in what the right area would be, the correct price and even helped us get into the best preschool for our daughter. Luke went well beyond what a normal agent would do in helping us start our life in a new community. We will always be grateful and would highly recommend Luke to anyone needing to buy or sell a home!"

- Dana Atwood

"Luke Ebbin was referred to us a couple of years ago by a much respected acquaintance. At our initial meeting we reviewed what we searching for and warned him we were “picky” clients – with a smile he assured us he had never lost a client. One of the best compliments we can offer regarding Luke is that he listens thoroughly. After a lengthy search we found what we were looking for and Luke could not have been more helpful, patient, supportive and professional through the process. Anyone in need of real estate guidance, rest assured he is the best."

- Ken and Janis Blaise

"From the moment we started working with Luke, it was clear to us that he cared deeply about helping our family find our perfect home. The process began with him listening carefully to our needs and asking probing questions which helped us understand what we wanted even more. He always told it to us straight. In doing so, he helped us narrow our search to those properties which would truly meet our needs. He was patient and cool headed both during the searching phase and in trying to secure the best possible deal for our family. We give him our absolutely highest recommendation- you will not be disappointed!"

- Anthony and Lindsay Ranii

"Full of market knowledge and transaction experience, Luke also brought commitment and great instincts to the entire process of selling our home. He produced top notch marketing materials for us and communicated with us seamlessly throughout. He got it done and was a real pleasure to work with."

- John Simpson and Patti Pagliei

"Luke Ebbin has represented me as the seller and buyer on 3 separate transactions. I’ve bought and sold over 20 properties and have never used an agent more than once, with the exception of Luke. He is by far the most prompt, professional and honest agent I have worked with. Every transaction goes without the usual stress knowing Luke can handle the detail and nuance for any circumstance. In a competitive marketplace like Santa Barbara these qualities are what will make a successful transaction no matter whether you are buying or selling."

- Wendy Weitzman

"We have been coming to Montecito for 25 years and thought we knew the area. But Luke introduced us to cool places we never thought to look. Our transaction wasn’t that large but was complicated and took a long time. Luke gave us great advice on structuring the offer and made sure that our interests were protected all the way through to the close. His professionalism and sense of humor never disappointed. We will definitely use Luke again and recommend him to anyone looking in the Santa Barbara area."

- Peter and Molly Harrigan

"On the scale of 1 to 10, Luke scores a perfect 11. He has helped us with two purchases in Montecito over the last four years; in both transactions, he was gracious, patient, and incredibly attentive to our specific needs. He came highly recommended to us by our friends and neighbors and we remain grateful for the introduction. A dedicated professional and strong negotiator, Luke’s an invaluable resource to any buyer who’s new to the community."

- Oliver Goldstick and Bud Leslie

"We have done three transactions with Luke. He is an extremely well informed, thorough agent - both residential and commercial. Luke helped guide us through a difficult deal with ease. He is a great listener, great communicator and always put our interests first. We would highly recommend Luke for any and all your real estate needs."

"Luke and his team did an amazing job selling my home! It was really easy and fun working with them."

- Gwen Bello

"We bought a home in Montecito in July 2023. We were lucky enough to get connected with Luke Ebbin and team through a referral from one of his other happy customers. The whole experience was 5-stars."

- Sean Doherty

"If there’s only one thing I needed to know about buying & selling homes in this area is I wished I had met Luke sooner. I’m very thankful I had him help me this time around. A bona fide professional in every aspect including insights only an experienced and extremely hard-working person could have provided. Luke protected my interests and gave me peace of mind during an unpredictable, last-minute change in lenders, continually provided sound advice, and was available to assist in every minute detail both ensuring a smooth transaction and everything afterward."

- Kurtis Sakai

"We have worked with Luke 6 times in the last 8 years – to rent, sell twice, and buy three times. He’s a total pro - expert in Montecito properties and a pleasure to work with because he works hard, communicates effectively, and thinks creatively about every facet of buying and selling a home."

- Chris and Amy Giles

"Beyond professional and all around expert in the market! Luke and his team guided me through the Santa Barbara market and found me the home of my dreams. Exceeds 5 stars."

- Andrea Schumacher

"Working with The Ebbin Group was awesome from beginning to end. They sold our home quickly in a relatively slow market and helped find us a rental while they looked for our next home. Excellent listeners, they had an uncanny sense of what we were looking for. When we mentioned we liked the area the rental was in, they walked the neighborhood knocking on doors and found us the perfect home that we were able to buy off market, which continues to amaze us. Knowledge, marketing, communication and responsiveness were truly first rate, but going that extra mile for us really sets The Ebbin Group apart."

- Andy Liepman and Mary Tighe

"Luke and his team patiently hung in with us on our two year search for a unique property with some elbow room and ocean views along the California Coast. Unlike many agents where one can feel a conflict of interests in that they just want you to make a deal, they waited with us until the right thing came along and then guided us to a successful offer."

- Mark and Limor Johnson

"Luke is an unusually responsive and sensitive realtor. He sought to understand our needs and desires, and he brought a breadth of experience and knowledge, far beyond what we have previously seen in realtors. He’s also remarkably genuine, authentic, and honest. If we need a realtor in the future, we would definitely use Luke and recommend him to our friends and family, as we think he’s exceptional!"

- Kate Ludeman and Eddie Erlandson

"Luke and his team far exceeded our expectations in our recent transactions and kept us calm throughout the process. (No easy feat.) We continue to recommend The Ebbin Group to our friends and colleagues because of Luke's insight, professionalism, and attention to detail. He is top-notch."

- Oliver Goldstick

"I never thought I would say that buying and selling a house would be enjoyable, but working with Luke was a true pleasure! Luke is a straightforward communicator, has an amazing knowledge of the Montecito market, and was responsive and attentive to details. Not only did Luke represent us when we downsized after becoming empty nesters, helping us find our dream house that we thought didn’t exist, but then he turned right around and sold our house during the challenging few months after local natural disasters. Both transactions went seamlessly. We can’t recommend him more strongly."

- Carrie Towbes & John Lewis

"We moved from another state. Every real estate market is different and we couldn’t really get a read on the Santa Barbara market despite our efforts to find a place here over the past several years. Luke has the personality, real estate skills and knowledge, community connections, and ability to listen to client needs and wants that were essential to finally get us into the right house. He was recommended by our realtor in Dallas, after she conducted a search for “the best” agent in the area. He was, and is, an excellent choice. Thank you, Luke."

- Craig Lofton

"Luke represented us as both a buyer and a seller on two recent transactions. We have nothing but praise for Luke’s professionalism, knowledge of the market, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile. He brought many people through our home and did not give up until he found the perfect buyer. His recommendations for getting our house ready to show were spot on, and his follow up and communication with us and prospective buyers was impeccable. As for finding us a house to buy, Luke was patient and truly understood what we were looking for, never wasting our time to show us a house that wasn’t the right fit. He is a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend him."

- Lizzie and Brent Peus

"I can’t recommend Luke highly enough. He is the consummate real estate professional and made our property acquisition in Montecito seamless; from identifying the perfect property through negotiating the offers all the way through closing, Luke was there 100%"
