Jon is the consummate local knowledge real estate agent. He was relentless in showing us properties, ever refining his understanding of our tastes and budget as we sought out a second home in Santa Barbara. In the end he hooked us up with the perfect place in Montecito. We love the Biltmore hotel and we ended up buying a GW Smith inspired home nestled in an acre and a half of oaks and palms on one of the most beautiful streets in the area. After the sale Jon has jumped in many a time when we needed something extra or the house opened up to a tradesman.Two years later we still count on him. It's hard to imagine a better, more professional representative than Jon!
Jon Perkins was a very exceptional real estate agent. We looked at homes together for 5 years before I purchased one. He was tireless in our pursuit of the appropriate home. He was honest and exact, and he gave me a no-nonsense opinion of each home. I always appreciated his advice. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the overall marketplace. He was also extremely helpful in the process of the actual purchase of the home. He walked me through the bidding process without a hitch. I would recommend him without reservation.
Although Jon Perkins and Locale specialize in extremely high-end real estate in the most exclusive areas, he is the nicest, most down-to-earth man I have met, and he without hesitation agreed to help us find and buy our modest first place. His caring and expertise go beyond lots, neighborhoods, structures, and legalities to include what really matters to a buyer: lifestyle, family, personal goals, timing, and more. Now he has selected a team of awesome communicators, excellent agents, marketing gurus, and all-around caring people to guide buyers and sellers. If you are among the lucky few able to even consider purchasing or selling property in Santa Barbara, you must also consider yourself lucky to have discovered Locale.
