Dianne and Brianna Johnson | Village Properties

I have worked with Dianne and Bri over the course of several years through multiple transactions and their investment in the journey is unmatched. They understood my goals and knew it would take many years of stepping stones to get where I ultimately wanted to be, and they buckled up for the long ride without hesitation. Their patience and commitment to the hunt for "home" (even when I was *cough cough* a touch stubborn at times) was incredibly valuable. Persistence in this challenging market is key, and they provided the unwavering support, local knowledge, and active approach to securing the perfect property. Even if early on in your real estate dream, I highly recommend reaching out for a chat. It's always the right time to start the journey toward "home"!

It was a pleasure working with Brianna and Dianne. They were always quick to respond and set up showings outside of normal business hours. They were patient with us as we were quite selective and managed to find us our perfect home off market. We really appreciated all their help during escrow. They arranged for several inspections with in the first 2 days of escrow and met with each inspector. We could not have pulled out a 10 day close without them!

Dianne and Brianna Johnson helped us to find our dream home and it’s not just an eye-catching phrase. We were looking for houses in Santa Barbara for about 3 years and the market was never friendly - we were disappointed multiple times. When we were ready to give up on our search, the opportunity presented itself, and Dianne and Brianna helped us a lot to make everything happen. Being a first-time home buyer in the tight Santa Barbara market can be stressful: everything is not cheap, there are tons of paperwork, but most importantly as a buyer you don’t know what to pay attention during the buying process – and that’s where having a good agent with local knowledge is crucial. Dianne and Brianna are great in that regard, they were very patient, have a lot of knowledge, and would answer any question in a detailed way, be that about the escrow, inspections, the state of the market or anything else. They scheduled the necessary inspections within a day after our offer got accepted, which would otherwise have taken weeks if we would search all the providers and schedule on our own. Furthermore, we have really enjoyed our interactions with them – Dianne and Brianna are always timely, polite, and very pleasant to have a conversation with. Everything went smoothly and as a result we are happy owners of our own home in Santa Barbara. We can’t thank Dianne and Brianne enough for this and would highly recommend working with them!

I highly recommend Dianne and Brianna Johnson. I have worked with them on multiple occasions and trust them explicitly. They are dedicated professionals who always go the extra mile for their clients. Their skills include everything needed to have a successful transaction including great communication, terrific negotiation, patience, compassion and knowledge of design and construction. Dianne and Brianna guide their clients every step of the way.

Dianne and Brianna Johnson represented me in the purchase of a beautiful Santa Barbara home recently. These ladies were so professional, honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy as well as a pure joy to work with. I recommend these agents to my friends and family. Kym and Set Crawford

Have enlisted the assistance of many professional service folks throughout the years and Dianne and Brianna are at the top of my list for so many qualities from responsiveness to professionalism to going beyond anything we thought or imagined would be needed to buy real estate in CA and Santa Barbara. We originally looked a property a number of years ago and when we called recently they were extremely helpful anticipating our needs to completion of the purchase and beyond. When we arrived to take possession of our property with water turned off their support and advice enabled us to solve the problem quickly. My advice is run don't walk to engage their services.

I really can’t say nice enough things about the work of Bri and Dianne Johnson. As a first time seller, I was a bit unsure going into the process, but they made the entire experience so easy. They were very responsive to any questions I had, maintained professional communication, and could not have been more kind. I was selling an investment property from afar and they handled everything in town wonderfully. They organized a beautiful staging of the home, listed with stunning marketing, and we received multiple offers within a few days. They helped facilitate a 14 day escrow flawlessly and I could not be happier! I highly recommend Bri and Dianne to anyone looking to buy or sell their property.

It was a pleasure to work with Dianne and Brianna. They are very professional, have a deep understanding of the market in the Santa Barbara area and know the ins and outs of selling and buying your home. Their professionalism really shines and their marketing skills are excellent. Our home was showcased beautifully and we couldn't have been happier with the services provided, but also the personal connection with both Dianne and Brianna. They listened, were very responsive, gave us great advice and were spot on with pricing our home for the market. We sold for more than $4,000,000 and plan on working with the Johnsons again in the future.

Dianne and Bri were so pleasant to work with during this major milestone in our lives. They helped us find our home, showed us the property, and within a couple of days we made an offer were comfortable with. They briefed us on what to expect during the process, made helpful recommendations/suggestions throughout, and were always available for any questions or concerns that we had. Their years of experience and knowledge of the local market made us feel confident we were working with the right agents. We could not imagine buying our first home without Dianne and Bri and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their property!

I worked with Dianne and Brianna for both buying and selling my place in SB. Their local knowledge and newsletters are extremely helpful to get a sense of the market, they are extremely responsive, and they sold my house in a record time 1.5 days via their awesome website and marketing channels! Highly recommend them!

Dianne & Brianna Johnson are terrific real estate agents. My husband & I cannot recommend them highly enough! They were consistently available - even at the last minute - when we wanted to see a property. They understood our needs from the beginning; were not pushy, but respectfully "checked in" with us frequently as we sold our home in another state & relocated to Santa Barbara. We did not know the area at all, so we rented for a while, allowing us to get to know different neighborhoods before buying. They are extremely knowledgeable about the local area, are experts at the process, responded immediately 100% of the time to our questions/concerns (even when they were out of town). But I would say they are #1 at creatively solving negotiation issues between Seller & Buyer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Dianne and Brianna have been friends and neighbors for years. They were the perfect choice to sell our house - professional and detail oriented. Full of good advice too.
