Keith,

“Yesterday it was 7 years ago, Sept 21, 2000, that we closed escrow on our home. It has proved to be a great investment. I owe it all to you. Thank you so much all you have done these last several years. Also, for being such a good friend.”

Dear Keith and Becky,

Thank you so much for the very professional and timely manner in which you sold our home in Goleta. Because we had already moved from California to another state, your team went the extra mile in making sure our home was ready to sell. We were so pleased with your selling philosophy that enabled us to receive more than our asking price in so few days.

You can be certain that we will recommend Keith Berry's Coldwell Banker team to the people we know in the Santa Barbara area. Thank you again.

A very Merry Christmas to you and your families.

"Keith Berry has a profound knowledge of the residential real estate market. He was always available for consultation and, in the fast moving market that the Santa Barbara area is, brought new listings to our attention immediately. He is especially adept at perceiving one's needs and thus showing only those properties that he deems a "fit". He always maintained a professional attitude, was extremely pleasant to work with, and we always looked forward to the time we would spend with him. Most importantly, as he reassured us would happen, he assisted us in finding our dream property - a perfect match - with many happy experiences along the way."

- CLIENT


"We started working with Keith Berry in 1997 on a move back to Santa Barbara where I grew up but we weren't able to actually buy a home until 2004 because of business conflicts. Even though we worked 2 times towards property searches that didn't earn Keith a dime, he remained hard working, friendly, honest, and loyal to us through out the nearly 7 year long process. After owning homes in 6 different cities and being a professional real estate investor with investments in 20 different states, I haven't found a more informed, steady and knowledgeable real estate broker to work with anywhere. Keith and his team are the best agents we have worked with and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the Santa Barbara area."

- CLIENT


"You are most of all trustworthy, honest and so exceptionally capable. We would never use anyone else and would recommend you to anyone! You have class, taste and are respected by all realtors from every office. You are principled man, a loving family man, and a giver of kindness. You have the best work ethics and never compromise your client or do anything that is not totally above board. You have the most helpful staff and even feed our pets when showing our houses. You were a good realtor for both our selling and buying. It is a pleasure to do business with you and Kathy, of course, is just the best assistant realtor and loyal and trustworthy and very kind."

- CLIENT


"Keith is the best realtor in the world, who just happens to be in Santa Barbara. He understood the market for our home and nailed the price without great comps. The whole transaction was handled seamlessly. I joke with Keith that we will buy again in Santa Barbara just to work with him."

"John and I would like to express our deep appreciation to you and your staff for your excellent service during the recent sale of our house and the purchase of our new home. Your professionalism and attention to detail are unsurpassed in the real estate industry. You sold our home in one month and ably guided us through the countless decisions and details related to the purchase of our new home. When I mentioned to friends that you were serving as our realtor, they all said, "You've got the best!" We couldn't agree more! We will enlist your services for any future real estate transactions and recommend you highly to any potential clients. Thank you, Keith!" Sincerely,

- CLIENT


"When Suzy and I were considering relocating to the Santa Barbara area, I contacted the president of a large, local bank to recommend a local real estate professional to assist us. He directed is to Keith Berry based on his working knowledge of Keith's integrity, work ethic and understanding of the local market. I can unhesitatingly state Keith was the right choice.

During our search process, Keith exhibited patience, strong attention to detail, an unequalled knowledge of the real estate market and was very gracious to our entire family. Keith is a huge success story in both his personal and professional life and put these skills to use every day in working with us.

Keith made the purchasing decision painless. He employs a highly professional staff that manages the negotiations and the closing with efficiency.

In addition, I was certain that Keith always represented our best interests. His interest was not in the deal but rather in meeting our needs. His knowledge of the schools and the other areas that impact the purchasing decision was significant. After the purchase, I consistently called Keith to ask him what vendors I should use for different services. He has always been right on and gracious.

Finally, I believe that I have a good friend in Keith Berry. He has kept us up to date on the local market conditions to enhance our knowledge of our investment.

With absolute confidence, I can highly recommend Keith to anyone that is interested in acquiring any level of real estate in the Santa Barbara area."

"There are many wonderful things I could say about you and your associates. We feel so fortunate that you sold us our wonderful home and that we continue to work together.

Our response......Keith and his associates continue to provide outstanding personal service after our home was purchased."

- CLIENT


"We have known Keith Berry for 5 years. He helped us purchase our residence and various rental properties. But, he didn´t disappear after those sales. Instead, he continues to be a friend that we can always call on, a friend who puts our best interests first. Making a sale is secondary to doing the right thing for a client. His knowledge of the market and his advice are unequaled. Keith also is a solid member of the community, active in numerous charitable efforts. We respect and admire his consistent involvement in making our community better for all. Keith is the standard to which any professional should aspire. Would we recommend him to family and friends? You bet!"

"I have known Keith Berry for 20 years. He worked with me when I was president of the western region for Merrill Lynch Realty and subsequently as general sales manager of Jon Douglas Company. He also sold us our current home in Santa Barbara. As a residential real estate manager, I would want 1,000 Keith Berrys working for me. He is a consummate professional. He and his outstanding staff are on top of every transactional detail. He is a creative marketer, knows the market inside out, is extraordinarily respected in the real estate community and takes his business very seriously. In my 22 years in the real estate business I have probably met 10,000 agents, but I have never met a better one than Keith Berry."

- CLIENT


"Your professional services made the buying process uncomplicated and we felt your experience was invaluable. You were attentive to our needs and were available for many important appointments at the property. We felt we were given the same time and attention purchasing a condominium as a person purchasing a million-dollar home. You ensured that our best interests were always met.

Thank you for your help. We will recommend your expert services."

- CLIENT


"I have just celebrated my 65th birthday and over my life span have had many occasions to deal with brokers for both residential and investment property. I never met anyone who delivered what they promised the way you do. The level of commitment, professionalism, integrity and service is unmatched. You see to it through advertising, open houses, etc that the property has the most exposure possible, making a normally difficult time as painless as possible."

- CLIENT


"It is with deep appreciation that I thank you for the many years of outstanding service you have provided to the Uyesaka family. Your professionalism, integrity, and most importantly, your trust, have played an integral part in all the assistance you have provided us.

In a world of ever-increasing complexity, your ability to handle the most complicated issues is baffling. Adversity is not in your vocabulary. Unlike many busy entrepreneurs, you have always found time and resources to give to those less fortunate. Santa Barbara is a very special city, basking in worldwide recognition. Community leaders like you contribute to this acknowledgement.

Keith, I will never forget all your advice, business and personal, directed to accomplishing the task at hand. Work hard, follow through with all your commitments, and good results surely will prevail. Your philosophy is synonymous with perfection."

- CLIENT


"My sisters and I appreciate the level of service Mr. Berry provided. We were able to sell our property at the asking price and much sooner than we anticipated. Keith was always available for meetings and follow up. His expertise and attention to detail guided us through the sale in a smooth and timely manner. Mr. Berry is definitely a man you can count on."

- CLIENT


"Keith Berry is without a shadow of doubt the finest real estate professional in the country. Now that says a lot, but this assessment comes from comparing Keith's work with all of the professionals in real estate I have come in contact with in over 36 years of business. I have used Keith in the most difficult transactions; I have referred Keith to all my friends and acquaintance; I have never heard a word of criticism and have always been impressed with his perfect implementation and resulting success."

- CLIENT


"Keith C. Berry, one of the more successful and knowledgeable real estate agents along the Central Coast."
