The Kogevinas Group

Taylor and Tara are a dream team! My husband and I were so happy with their attention to detail in finding our new home. We felt so comfortable working with them, and really appreciate how personable they are. It was especially wonderful how responsive they are, we always felt like a top priority. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home. We look forward to working with them again, and would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a home! Thank you thank you Taylor and Tara!!!

Tara definitely knows the area and is a good communicator, was motivated to get the process done quickly and efficiently, and was good about follow up and ‘going the extra mile’ to get our transaction done ? correctly and timely, which was key ?? in this transaction.

I was so happy with Tara and Taylor at The Montecito Group when purchasing my home. I was moving long distance and they helped every step of the way including sending video of the property for remote review and being available for questions whenever I needed something. I felt that they had a very in-depth knowledge and accurate account of the community and neighborhood. They made the inspection and closing process seamless by helping with both escrow and home inspector recommendations and fielding questions when asked. And the best part was that the whole transaction was done electronically. Definitely the easiest home purchase process I’ve ever had. I highly recommend them!

This team is absolutely incredible! We recently relocated to Santa Barbara, and knew NOTHING about the surrounding neighborhoods, but with Tara and Taylor's expertise and help, we were able to find our dream home in a dream neighborhood! Tara and Taylor, having grown up in Santa Barbara, know all the in and outs of the different communities in Santa Barbara County which was extremely helpful to us. They kept us up to date on new listings, the market, and one we found our dream home helped us stay organized and stress-free through the entire purchase process. They are knowledgeable, kind, hard-working, honest, and a ton of fun to work with! We would highly recommend the Montecito Group to anyone looking for a wonderful buying/selling process in the Santa Barbara County. We will be sure to use them again in the future.

All of my interactions with Tara and Taylor have been tremendously positive and helpful and although I rarely write reviews, I felt compelled due to the superlative assistance they provided when purchasing our home. In no other agents have I found such a wellspring of knowledge of Montecito, Santa Barbara, and surrounding real estate, and they are true pleasures to work with. Patiently and consistently accommodating our busy schedules, they answered all of our questions and represented themselves with positivity, honestly, and integrity. They have earned our trust and I would not hesitate to recommend them or contact them again. Quality of service is their priority and they are true assets to the real estate community. Thank you again for making the process such a pleasure!

Taylor & Tara are an absolute dream team! Their hard work and dedication not only to real estate, but to finding me the perfect home was exactly what I needed! They catered to my schedule and were prompt to set up appointments/ respond to my endless emails even before and after typical "work hours." They really went the extra mile to make buying a home a stress-free and even enjoyable experience! I cannot recommend this dynamic duo enough!

Tara and Taylor helped me find my dream home ! They are not only perfessional but have the ability to really find exactly what your looking for ! I am so blessed for there willingness to go above and beyond finding exactly what I was looking for !

I can't say enough how satisfied my husband I were with our choice of using Tara Toner to help us buy our home in Santa Barbara. She went out of her way to make the process easy for us. She listened and understood our needs. Her negotiating skills helped us acquire a home that we thought was outside of our budget. Her youth, energy and professionalism made our moving process smooth and easy. She is the best!

It has been such a joy working with Tara. She is very knowledgeable about the market and specifically Santa Barbara real estate. She was a great listener and worked very diligently to find us a home that met all of our needs. I can assure You that Tara will help you find the perfect home, just like she did for us!
