Terrific experience. Third time around with Daniel. Twice with him and Brittain. We couldn’t be happier.
In a town with approximately 10,000 realtors, it is a major achievement to be voted Best Realtor for multiple years by the Santa Barbara Independent’s annual poll.

I get choked up almost 2 years later whenever I think about my experience with the Zia Group. No matter how much I say or how I say it I feel it will never really say enough. While other real estate agents I interviewed told me things like what work I would need to do…
My family had a wonderful experience with the Zia Group! Daniel and Lynda were helpful, professional and patient with us throughout the whole process. Daniel was great at explaining options and the different scenarios.
Lynda Elliott’s enthusiasm and professionalism made our home selling experience both pleasant and successful. There were projects that had to be done before putting the house on the market so Lynda found the resources we needed and was there since we couldn’t be. Lynda gracefully handled our sale involving multiple parties. There were 3 sellers,…

I’m not certain our transaction would have gone through it it wasn’t for Daniel’s dedication and hard work.

Throughout the experience, Kimberly was attentive to us, responding to our changing needs (and market anxiety) with absolute grace….
Veronica and Daniel did an excellent job managing the sale of great property. There were a lot of variables involved that the typical house does not have to go through. They did an amazing job navigating, coordinating, and negotiating the challenges of this listing. Their professionalism is top notch.
Good agents are more than just agents, they are people who bring life experiences that help their clients navigate and negotiate on many levels in their pursuit of a “forever home.” Kimberly has those life experiences and combines them so well with knowledge of the real estate industry and in particular, the Santa Barbara market….

Working with Kimberly was critical for succeeding in buying in this ultra competitive market. She is so sweet, but she is a total shark in these multiple, multiple offer scenarios.

Jon Gilkeson is easy to work with, a great communicator, and always knows just the right amount of attention and advice to provide. My wife and I loved working with him to buy our house. Even now while we’re not actively looking to buy or sell, Jon knows what we like and where we’re headed…
Phil was so helpful and patient helping me find my new home. He kept me informed of potential homes and also was upfront if the place was not suitable for me.
Jon is kind, patient and knowledgeable above all. He is well-liked and respected in his profession, which speaks very highly of his character and commitment to his clients and colleagues. Jon supported our family from the point of looking for a home through the final purchase, and afterwards. He was responsive, attentive and utilized his…
Professional, available, extremely efficient. They helped me close on a condo in only one week. Whenever I had a question or concern Zia Group found the answer in under an hour and always replied immediately.
Daniel and his able assistant, Brittain Alexander ushered us through their capable hands, expertise, and strategic advice on the purchase of our current home. We moved in about three weeks ago and every day we feel like we made the right decision. We could not have done it without them. I recommend Daniel Zia and…

Jorden patiently showed us countless listings until we found our dream home. His friendly demeanor and expert guidance at every step were…
If you want a seamless sales process, you need to hire professionals like Jorden and The Zia Group … and get out of their way, because they do it all. With Jorden’s stellar help, we sold our Santa Barbara/Goleta condo in September 2022. If you’re wondering how amazing Jorden is, he got us four offers…
Josh was very professional about the whole process. He helped us in every step of the way. Very knowledgeable and knew how to manage our expectations. He became our first friend in Santa Barbara and I would use him again, if need be.
Let’s start with the results: thanks to Zia Group’s hard work and outstanding marketing we sold our home to a cash buyer for the asking price in less than a week. Daniel is a fine leader and has built an excellent team. Everything was done at the highest professional level. Communication was easy and clear….
We have bought and sold a number of homes through the years, but this was a first for us to buy in such a competitive housing market and our need to undergo an investment property exchange. The housing market in Santa Barbara is wicked hot as it is quickly becoming a destination for home buyers….
I am very pleased to have worked with such a professional, responsive, thorough group!
Zia Group is my go-to spot to refer my clients to for the best services for their real estate needs in Santa Barbara. Highly recommended!
You couldn’t ask for a better team to serve your needs in the Santa Barbara area! Experience and knowledge matters when choosing the best agent for you. Give Daniel and his team a call!

Working with Kimberly was so wonderful! We thought we were a hopeless case buying in the craziest market of our lives, moving from out of state and needing contingencies.

The Zia Group is the best! They are responsive, knowledgeable, and rock stars. They helped us buy and sell our first home and made the whole process easy and simple. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Our son and his family had recently used Kimberly to buy a Townhouse in Montecito, and also had…
It is my pleasure to share the incredible support and service I received from Brittain Alexander, an important member of the Zia Group, closing a high-end property in Montecito. He took the lead in our transaction and there were numerous challenges with the lender, time-frames, considerations for the sellers moving out, and Brittain led us…
Kimberly is awesome and fantastic to work with. We are so lucky to have someone like Kimberly on our side. She truly cares about our needs and interest.

Daniel and His team provided us the right opportunity, were there every step of the way and made sacrifices to please: what else could you ask for? Maybe professionalism: didn’t have to ask they delivered at each turn. Amazing! RT in SB

This team is absolutely fantastic to work with! Amazing communication and fun personalities that will coordinate the purchase/sale of any home beautifully!
Over the years I’ve purchased or sold homes over 20 times. This purchase through the Zia Group was one of the most professional and pleasant experiences I’ve encountered. Expert knowledge of homes and market analysis as well as superb negotiating on our behalf. The smoothest transaction I’ve ever enjoyed. Excellent team!

Jon Gilkenson and the entire Zia Group team take buying and selling a home to a new level. Their knowledge, expertise and professionalism are above and beyond what we have experienced in our past real estate experiences (and we’ve had quite a few). We selected Daniel and Jon to be our agents after interviewing many…
Daniel and his team successfully managed 3 separate real estate transactions for me in the past 5 months, complicated by the emergence of the pandemic half-way through. This necessitated several modifications on both the buy and sell process, but in the end all 3 were navigated successfully. I highly recommend Daniel and his team.
My husband and I had an incredible experience buying our first home together with the expertise and guidance of Zia Group. Once we found the home we wanted, they were able to help us beat out seven other offers. Escrow was quick and painless, and they were able to secure the best professionals in the…
Very helpful, and responsive to our desires and needs. They took the time to learn our constraints and desires, steered us away from unrealistic and unreachable homes, and provided referrals to workmen who helped us change our home to achieve our desires
I cannot speak highly enough of Daniel and the team at Zia Group. From our first meeting with Daniel, we were confident the Zia team would help us find the right property for us on our timeline, negotiate the best price for that property and walk us through the home buying process. As first time…

We had a bit of a problematic sale, with the city of Santa Barbara creating all kinds of unnecessary complications. But Daniel and team stuck with us through the whole process. Great job marketing and getting in buyers!
We can truly say that Jorden is the single most capable real estate agent we have ever worked with and ironically he came to us assigned thru Zillow when we requested to see a property! Saying he’s the top isn’t said lightly as our business for 29 years entails 501c3 flips every few years. This…

My mother had passed away in Goleta in late 2016 and she had a close family friend who was friends with Bowen. My brothers and I all lived remotely and it was a very stressful situation. My mother’s house had not been updated since the 1980’s and needed work. We contacted Bowen who connected us…

Great experience! Jon worked effectively on our behalf and had a seasoned team available for inspections, estimates and repairs. We’re very happy with our purchase and would use Jon’s services again.
You know how sometimes you’re out running some errands and your wife mentions there’s a home for sale nearby and asks if you would like to take a look? Maybe you’ve been, let’s say, looking at houses occasionally but not too seriously and without seeing anything that really made you consider buying. Maybe this place…
Daniel emailed us home listings on a weekly basis for four years before we purchased our home. Daniel was extremely professional and moved us through our home purchase easing the headaches that come along with the escrow process these days. My wife and I, even though we were both first time home buyers, felt completely…
Honest, knowledgeable, patient, hard-working, with a great sense of humor. What more could you ask for in a Realtor? I would recommend Daniel to anyone looking to buy a home in the Santa Barbara area. Daniel will take care of you and will help you to find, and then own the home that is right…

The Zia Group is more than your normal real estate company. I have known Daniel for a long time now, and realize that his gift is that he genuinely cares about people – and the buyers and their life stories. My sense is that making money is not his main “why” for doing this. Would…
As part of our TV show, ‘A Place in the Sun: At home or Away’ one of the biggest difficulties is finding the right house, in the right area, of a city that we’ve never been to before. We often view 20-25 houses over 2-3 days in a city before selecting the final 3 that…

Zia Group was instrumental in helping us purchase our first home in the area. Ours was a unique situation in many ways, and there were multiple points where we thought it was the end of the line and time to walk away. Zia Group, however, was determined to make it happen– when issues arise he…
I’ve known one of Zia Group’s agents, Alan Siebenaler for 5 years and he’s demonstrated an immense knowledge of real estate. I’ve seen him buy, fix, rent and sell properties even as an investor over the years. He gives wise financial counsel and is a great resourse for all things real estate. The best part…
As a realtor, Kimberly is the perfect balance of kindness and brilliant business savvy. She guided me through the complexities of the sale with grace and humor, answered all my questions thoroughly, and confidently explained how the process would unfold – and it unfolded *exactly* as she described!
