Zia Group Review from Bob Efram on Facebook
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 with Dan. We talked about 2 possibilities.
1) Sell the house as-is for a fair price.
2) Update the house for up to the latest (We estimated at least 50K to do this and then sell it. The Zia group offered to manage any updates while we were remote in exchange for the listing which we appreciated.
We realized the house would show better after being updated and would be in a more move-in ready condition for a buyer who might be cash-strapped after buying a Santa Barbara house. However, we hated the idea that the buyer might tear out our new updates because that was not what they wanted. Not very environmentally responsible.
We offered the listing to Dan who worked hard to find a buyer for as-is at a fair price. They came through and found the perfect buyer at a fair price who had the money to do their own updates.
This saved us the further stress of trying to update the house remotely.

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.

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.
