“After working with Alyson Spann, a client knows why she has such an outstanding reputation in the Santa Barbara real estate community. Over the years, I have been interested in purchasing a second home in the community, and Alyson has patiently worked with me and my family looking at several prospects-- always enthusiastic, creative and knowledgeable. During that process, Alyson's advice and knowledge of the
market was critical in helping us select a home. When negotiating the purchase, Alyson was a reliable and resourceful agent for us. She advocated our interests faithfully, and was always realistic about opportunities and value.
With many years of experience in the local market, Alyson is well respected among lenders, escrow officers, title companies and other agents. I've learned this through living and working in this community over 30 years. And, most important, she is really a very nice person. Alyson quickly earns the confidence of those she works with and makes the process of finding, negotiating and closing a purchase/sale a pleasant one.

Making the decision to sell my fathers home and avocado ranch was a difficult one. Not to mention selling a dated house on 13 acres could come with many hiccups. However, Alyson stepped in, met with the current tenants, facilitated a fantastic photo and video shoot, helped me with reams of paperwork, and conducted showings including the vast hilly ranch land. She was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and sensitive to the emotions involved with myself and family members. What could have been a stressful lengthy process, really couldn’t have turned out any better. I am grateful to Alyson for her hard work and patience throughout the entire process. House listed and sold in less than 60 days. A truly seamless sale!

It was a real pleasure to work with our realtor, Alyson Spann. She is knowledgeable about the local market and well connected to other real estate professionals. Every task, whether it be painting, gardening, cleaning, staging, or repairs, she has someone who could do it quickly and well. She even helped us lighten the stressful job of down-sizing. She guided us on what to consign and where to donate. She consulted with us on every decision. It was her knowledge, experience, and skills that made the sale of our home a success.

We would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a professional agent.

Alyson Spann of Village Properties in Santa Barbara, CA was a godsend in assisting my husband and me in selling his deceased stepmother's home in California. We live on the East Coast and it was difficult during Covid to travel out to California. Alyson stepped in and identified upgrades/repairs that we should make before putting the house up for sale in order to enhance its marketability. She met with painters, plumbers, house stagers, gardeners and cleaners. She organized a sale of the contents and the donation of the remnants to a charitable organization.
Alyson advised us on the listing price that would attract the most competitive bids and she
helped us to decide which was the best of a handful of great offers. We closed without any
issues in less than a month with a cash offer that was $255,000 over the asking price! Alyson
was a calming presence throughout the process. She has extensive expertise in real estate transactions and is a consummate professional. If you need a real estate pro in Santa Barbara, we would highly recommend Alyson Spann to you!

I couldn't be happier working with Alyson. Her knowledge, patience, and experience shines
through, especially in the hardest of escrows or negotiations. Things most certainly could have
played out differently with a less experienced agent, and I'm so thankful i had Alyson in my
corner. I wouldn't think of using anyone else for my home buying or selling needs.

Alyson helped us find our ideal home over several months. She was patient, understanding, and
optimistic. She has great connections that helped us get our funding over the finish line quickly,
and was instrumental in getting all of our inspections done in time. We were very happy with
our first home buying experience!

ahead, an excellent negotiator, and with her cheerful attitude and genuine interest in people,
simply a real pleasure to work with. Would 100% recommend.

My husband and I have done many residential real estate transactions over the years and were
thoroughly pleased with Alyson Spann as our agent. I would have to say that Alyson far exceeded our expectations on the sale of our home. We had many challenging household items
to fix for the new buyers and she took care of everything for us. Alyson met with several of her trusted contractors to come to our home and fix windows, plumbing issues, cleaning, termites,
roof and more. She always had a positive and pleasant demeanor and the paperwork was done
correctly and in a timely manner. We highly recommend Alyson if you're looking for an agent.
