Zia Group Review from Bill chiplis on Zillow
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 top agents in Santa Barbara. We chose them because we knew we needed agents that were really on top of their game to do what we wanted to do: sell our house for top dollar as a pocket listing with all sorts of contingencies (such as allowing us time to find a replacement property and secure a mortgage). They and the entire Zia Group team were able to do that and also help us purchase our replacement property (again with contingencies). They handled both transactions simultaneously–a lot of moving parts to deal with. It was mind-boggling to say the least. Lesser men would have cracked under all the demands and counter demands, changing time frames, and human whims. But Daniel and Jon are champions at this business–truly, they were unfailingly professional, calm, and patient (even when we weren’t). My husband and I recommend them without hesitation. They are simply the best in Santa Barbara.

Kimberly represented us as our buying agent in 2021. This was by far one of the toughest buyers market in history. She went above and beyond to help us find our home.

I’m fortunate that an online inquiry into a Zia Group listing connected me with Jon Gilkeson.

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,…

Jorden was our secret weapon going into buying our first home. He got us in to see a home before it was even listed, helped us prepare a compelling offer, and get the deal done before the open house was even started! We couldn’t have gotten the amazing deal we did without him and we…
