Zia Group Review from Aron Stein on Google
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. While we have experienced buying property in California, this was the most challenging. To make matters worse, we were doing an investment property exchange which requires the buyer to purchase a home in a short period of time or potentially pay significant taxes on any profits from a prior investment property.
Daniel was a sure and steady hand during this trying time. He has a tremendous grasp on the market as well as other complexities of investment real estate. The Zia team was able to identify selected properties that could fit our needs within a very short period of time (days) that would meet our requirements. The next challenge was to pull together an offer that would win the day with the seller. We went after two specific properties. Daniel used his negotiating skills and relationships to put us at the head of the line. We were not necessarily the highest bidder, but we were successful at procuring the property that was at the top of our list. Could not have done it without Daniel guiding the way.
After the bid was accepted, the Zia team (i.e. Natalie) help to ensure that our lender, the exchange company, inspections etc. were all done on time and with Daniel advising us on what matters were significant or not. While multiple deadlines were fast approaching, Daniel and Natalie kept us calm (relatively so) and stood with us in helping to make this purchase happen.
Now that the home has closed, we have tenants occupying the property (yes they helped with the lease), and have provided a listing of contractors to help oversee the property, we can finally take a deep breath and relax. We are definitely in good hands with the Zia team.

Daniel, Brittain, and the entire Zia Group team were a pleasure to work with. They were consummate professionals at every level and really helped guide us through the entire process of pricing, marketing, evaluating offers, negotiating, and closing. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
If you’re looking for great care and top level marketing, Zia Group is it. I’ve seen the systems employed and they go above and beyond to help home sellers and home buyers. In addition, the attention to details and guidance provided is top notch.
Very friendly and helpful. Always prompt and thorough communication.
Having already listed my home for sale 3 times, I knew that for the 4th I needed more with real results and therefore decided to go beyond the “word of mouth” method and research instead online. Zia Group immediately stood out to me for their impressive portfolio of imagery and number of sales in the…

My husband and I met Daniel a few years ago when I was looking for a summer rental in Santa Barbara. I thought he was so kind and generous with his time-for just a rental. We fell in love with Santa Barbara and always toyed with the idea of purchasing a summer home there. An…

Highly recommend Zia group to anyone looking for a home in Santa Barbara/Montecito. They really know the market and are incredibly helpful. I had the pleasure of working with Jorden Angel, he is an absolute gem and helped my family and I find our dream home!
