"My husband and I have had wonderful experiences working with Lisa Foley. It is always difficult to find the right home. But, in this environment buying a home can be incredibly frustrating. Lisa made our experience as buyers seamless. We respected her so much that, when it came time to sell our home we went to her again. Not only is she knowledgeable, thoughtful, and communicates regularly, she anticipates the challenges ahead of time and with great thoroughness. Lisa is enthusiastic and delightful! Having worked with Lisa twice we would definitely work with her again."

- Gail & Roger Haupt

"Holy Mackerel! Lisa Foley is incredibly good at what she does! As relatively jaded home owners who have bought and sold a dozen homes over the last 25 years in Manhattan, the Hamptons, the Hudson Valley, Palm Springs, and most recently, here in Santa Barbara, we have never worked with a better real estate agent. Period. Her knowledge about the marketplace, the relevant laws, the machinations of HOA’s, and the human psychology of buyers and sellers all inform her impressive strategic thinking. Lisa’s sophisticated skills, experience and confidence served us very well as she represented us when selling our single family home and purchasing a condo in need of renovations. Moreover, Lisa’s personal warmth and humor made the inevitable twists during the transactional part of the work pleasantly reassuring. But what really makes Lisa exceptional is her detailed follow-through and her work ethic. She turns thoroughness into an art form. We felt genuinely lucky to have met Lisa, something we have never said about any of the quite competent real estate agents we have worked with over the past 25 years."

- Jay Laudato & Tom Watson

"It has been such a pleasure working with Lisa Foley these past few weeks in the sale of our Bonnymede condominium. From our first meeting, we could tell Lisa placed our interests as her priority. She asked pertinent questions in order to get a better understanding of what we anticipated. She clearly analyzed the market and was very accurate in doing so. Lisa was willing to go the extra mile in every detail and we were so appreciative. The process was smooth and speedy, over before we knew it, and we are very grateful for her knowledge and integrity."

- Lynne M. TahmisianPresident - La Arcada Investment Corporation

"I want to thank Lisa Foley for doing such a great job with representing me in the purchase of the Santa Ynez property. I appreciate all the hard work that she put into researching the various aspects of the property, and for recommending and meeting with qualified vendors, contractors and architects during the due diligence period. I also appreciated that she was always available to provide me with advice and recommendations for the various aspects of purchase and escrow process. I would be happy to work with her on another transaction."

- Cameron Sinai

"Lisa Foley made selling our family condo such an easy and enjoyable experience. Thank you Lisa for your knowledge, expertise and help. My Aunt & Uncle would be pleased to know they’d made such a great Bonnymede investment."

- Ruth K.

Over the last year Lisa Foley has been great to partner with on several long term rentals of my home in Montecito. Lisa has been all things I could wish for; professional and reliable as well as charming and fun. Lisa’s experience and steadfastness has proven extremely valuable and I look forward to working together on future rental endeavors.
