Taryn Martin - Realtor - Montecito, California

Liz L.

Many of us know too well how stressful buying or selling a house can be. We found that we had to do both simultaneously to make our retirement dream come true and relocate out of state. Taryn helped us navigate this tricky transaction flawlessly. She was utterly professional from the first meeting at our home in Santa Barbara where she shared the details of what the market was doing, when a good time to list might be, and what kind of buyer she would like to see for us. She was transparent and answered all our questions kindly and in a timely manner which made her easy to trust. Taryn was in regular communication with our representative out of state and worked directly with them which definitely helped ease our fears. We highly recommend Taryn and her team at Sotheby’s for anyone in need of a kind, caring, and professional real estate agent.

Taryn is a pleasure to work with. She is professional and very approachable. She is enormously patient and helpful, especially dealing with the inevitable difficulties that come with selling a home. Her team created a fantastic sales presentation and put in a lot of time promoting our home. She did all the hard work for us. We could never have done this without her. I trust her completely.

Taryn Martin has been our realtor on multiple, successful real estate transactions over the years. Whether we have been buying or selling, Taryn has had our backs all the way through the process. She is unique in that she is a go-getter and an expert on current market trends across the county, as well as being completely integrous and kind in dealing with others. She helps with all the big and little details in these complex transactions in a professional manner. She will find your next perfect home or market the place you are selling to perfection. We wouldn’t consider working with anyone but Taryn Martin, she is simply the best at what she does and is always an absolute pleasure to work with.

Taryn Martin is a wonderful agent. She helped us through selling our condo and then going through multiple failed attempts to buy another condo/house in SB and finally a successful purchase. She showed phenomenal patience with us and attempted to address each problem encountered in each house we were attempting to purchase. Finally, after looking at many, many properties we were successful in purchasing one with which we are happy. Taryn previewed many properties with us and for us and she helped up through all of our concerns through the buying process including arranging numerous inspections.

We highly recommend Taryn as an agent for selling or buying a property.

My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better agent to work with. As first-time homebuyers, the process can be intimidating and overwhelming but Taryn was always informative, helpful, and encouraging without pushing us into anything we weren’t comfortable with. She was patient with our many questions and was always available to talk us through options and next steps. She also recommended a wonderful loan consultant. Together, the two of them worked with us every step of the way to get a home in Santa Barbara — a dream come true! We are so grateful for the chance to work with Taryn and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Jennifer Gore and Taryn Martin were outstanding agents for us in our search for a home in Montecito. They kept us updated and informed of properties, including the offers and, ultimately, the escrow period. Great professional duo who are pleasant to work with.

My husband and I worked with Taryn in 2018 to purchase our first home. We had been looking to buy for some time, and met with Taryn at the beginning of March. We were able to close on our dream home 25 days later.
We have now been living there for almost three years.

When we first met, Taryn asked us what we were looking for (our must haves and deal breakers) and only presented properties to us that fit our budget and preferences. Whenever I asked her about a listing, she was quick to reply with specifics on whether the home fit what we were looking for (online listings can be deceiving!) and, if it did, promptly provided times for us to check the property out.

Taryn was amazing the whole way through and extremely accommodating of our complicated schedule. Communication with her was easy (she does text, email, phone calls-whatever worked best for us) and she made sure we had all the information we needed every step of the way. She set up all necessary services we needed to submit our offer and close on the home and everyone she recommended offered fair prices and great customer service. Through her guidance we were able to have our offer accepted out of the three total submitted for our new home.

My husband and I both highly recommend Taryn's services.

Taryn is one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with - after buying my home with Taryn in 2020 and having such a great experience, I opted to enlist Taryn again when it was time to sell my home in 2022. Taryn exhibits the utmost professionalism and integrity at all times, and her attention to detail was so much appreciated. Taryn makes the process less stressful through her willingness to be present for all significant events (inspections, open houses, etc.), despite me living a fair distance away. She also does her job with a sense of humor, which is so much appreciated during what can be some very trying situations. But I can honestly say, among the many superlatives that Taryn exhibits, the one that is unmatched in any real estate agent I have ever dealt with is her impeccable communication - always keeping me informed and incredibly responsive. She always made me feel like I was a priority client. I am so thankful that Taryn represented me in both of these situations, and I recommend her with the highest regard.
