Any real estate agent licensed in California can assist a buyer of property at Hollister Ranch. However, the discriminating buyer will take advantage of the most qualified real estate professional available. Anyone can make claims of excellence, so what should you look for in an agent?
Is your agent a licensed broker? A broker - as opposed to a sales associate – has committed to a much greater degree of education in the practice of real estate. All else being equal and given the option, the choice of a more educated and knowledgeable agent simply makes more sense.
What is the Hollister Ranch experience of your agent? When did your agent first become associated with Hollister Ranch; when did your agent first purchase property at Hollister Ranch; when did your agent begin to sell property at Hollister Ranch; how many Hollister Ranch transactions has your agent completed; what is the extent of your agent’s participation in the affairs of the Hollister Ranch Owners’ Association?
What other properties does your agent sell outside of Hollister Ranch, and how much time is devoted to the sales of other properties? Time spent elsewhere is time that cannot be devoted to clients who are purchasing property at Hollister Ranch.
Is your agent a homeowner at Hollister Ranch, and does the agent live full time at Hollister Ranch? A resident homeowner can offer insights to living at Hollister Ranch that others simply cannot. Hollister Ranch is a unique community with distinctive challenges not found in other locations in California. An absentee owner or a lessee can’t fully appreciate all the complexities of life at Hollister Ranch as can a full time resident homeowner. Furthermore, a home owning agent will be selling property to their future neighbor. The importance of that aspect should go without saying.
Hollister Ranch Realty specializes in property sales at Hollister Ranch. Hollister Ranch homeowner residents Jeff Kruthers, Broker, and his wife Wendie are partners in the firm. They are recognized in the industry as THE experts at Hollister Ranch.
Jeff first visited Hollister Ranch in 1962 as a guest of the Hollister family who owned the entire 15,000+ acre ranch at the time. Jeff introduced Wendie to the Ranch in 1967, and they were married the following year. Jeff and Wendie purchased Parcel 3 in 1972; the seventh parcel sold by the developer. The following year, Jeff made his first Hollister Ranch sale.
Jeff and Wendie established Hollister Ranch Realty in 1981. Since that time they have been involved in at least one transaction involving over 100 separate Hollister Ranch parcels. In fact, Hollister Ranch Realty has completed more Hollister Ranch transactions than all other real estate companies combined.
No one else has the expertise or the experience regarding Hollister Ranch as do Wendie and Jeff. Theirs is the only company to work full time providing personalized and customized service to buyers at the Ranch. They understand the special needs of the buyer of Hollister Ranch property because Hollister Ranch is the only property they sell.
The facts show no on else has the success. Results are the indication of their effectiveness. Both Wendie and Jeff enjoy helping people realize their dreams at Hollister Ranch. Sophisticated buyers who rely upon extensive on-site experience and local knowledge are urged to contact Wendie or Jeff to discuss each and every Hollister Ranch property that is currently available.
Jeff and Wendie are members of these professional organizations:
National Association of Realtors,
California Association of Realtors, and
Santa Barbara Association of Realtors
Since 1972, they have participated in the following HROA committees: Beach Use & Rules, Conservancy, Design, Hollister House, Finance, Roads, Hoedown, External Affairs, Grievance, Stewardship Task and Manager Selection.
Furthermore, Jeff has served as President of the HROA Board of Directors, and President of the Hollister Ranch Cooperative.
In addition, Jeff has also served as a member of the Hollister Ranch Volunteer Fire Department.
For over a decade Wendie has been the coordinator of the Hollister Ranch Conservancy’s popular and successful “Tidepool School” program. This program has provided Santa Barbara County students a “living classroom” to study and observe the thriving ecosystems found in the intertidal zones at Hollister Ranch. At one time these tidepool environments existed all along the coast of Southern California, but they have become degraded or eliminated as human population soa red. It is hoped that the students who observe a healthy shoreline will grow up to encourage - and participate in - the restoration of the habitat for these tidepool critters.
Jeff & his wife, Wendie, live in their own dream home at Hollister Ranch. Using his 48 years of HR experience, Jeff seeks to assist others in their search to realize their own dreams at the Ranch.
