"Being selected as Best Real Estate Company/Realtor really is a testament to all the agents in our office and how our company cares about our clients and community," said Allan Jones, President and Principal Broker of Santa Ynez Valley Real Estate Company. "Credit really needs to be given to my associates, Rich Condit, co-owner of the company, and longtime associates John Frederick, Dave Salgado, and Gigi Gerritsen for the outstanding work they do. We really work as a team and take care of all those that hire us to help them buy and sell property," adds Jones.
"We feel the personal touch of a small boutique office fits the needs of buyers and sellers needing expertise in the valley we love so much. Gigi Hollister is the newest addition to the team and adds lifelong knowledge of the valley with cheerful hardworking enthusiasm. It is truly an honor to live and work in the Santa Ynez Valley with such great coworkers, friends, and clients," comments Jones.
