Stu Morse ~ Goodwin & Thyne Properties

Description of Work: I bought real estate through them.

Description of Work: Stu Morse worked with my husband and I for more than two years until we found the right home for us. We never, not once, felt that Stu was becoming tired of showing us more properties than I can count. We made offers, but in this market we felt, and Stu agreed, that sometimes people would get into bidding wars and we would opt out because it didn't make any business sense to make an offer unless we knew without a doubt we were going to live in some of these properties until our demise. Even then we weren't sure we'd break even by making offers purely on an emotional basis. Stu always made sure we not only really liked the property, but that we stayed objective. We think Santa Barbara is one of the most beautiful places in the world to live. It seems unlike most other real estate markets. While other markets were falling fast Santa Barbara held fairly steady for awhile. We had just sold another home (before the market fell) and were going to rent for a short time and buy again. Then real estate in our country became unpredictable so we decided to sit back for awhile to see what would happen in Santa Barbara. We are now purchasing eight years later. So when we say Stu was patient and attentive that's an understatement. In fact he seemed to get more determined as time went on. We could go on and on but we're sure that who(m)ever is reading this understands that we feel fortunate to have Stu Morse for our Realtor. Stu is honest, dependable and always returned our calls the same day - usually within the hour. He kept us informed of listings in our price range and never made us feel like "oh no, not them again". He has a positive -never give up til you find just what you want - attitude. Believe us when we say there were days when we didn't feel like that at all. Then we'd meet Stu Morse at the property and his energetic, positive attitude would turn things around.. (Just what we needed,) We purchased a home for less than we thought we'd have to pay and in the exact area we wanted to live. We feel very fortunate and we thank Stu for doing such an outstanding job and making it look effortless -paperwork and all.
