"Dorrie is a dedicated real estate agent with exquisite taste, patience and expertise. She listened carefully to my needs and preferences, then showed me various areas and properties with those characteristics. In very little time, Dorrie led me to the Perfect Property. After presenting an offer that was readily accepted, she handled the paperwork and details seamlessly. The whole experience was smooth and trouble free. Now 4 years later, I absolutely adore my home, property and location.   After successfully purchasing the Santa Barbara property, Dorrie became the listing agent for my 20-acre ranch and home in Upper Ojai. She staged the house beautifully, and organized upgrades; the property presented really well and sold quickly.   Whenever I buy or sell a property, Dorrie Powell will be my Agent, no contest. "

"I highly recommend working with Dorrie Powell. Over the years she has represented me in the purchase and sale of multiple properties. She has handled everything from finding homes with great potential, to guiding me in how that potential could best be realized. She helped oversee any necessary remodeling or renovation, from conceptual design to construction. When she represented my properties for sale, we often received multiple offers. She has an eye for beautiful design and a sharp mind for details. I feel that comfortable giving her carte blanche, knowing she will deliver a project to be proud of, that also gives the highest possible return. She is a consummate professional, who clearly cares about her clients and is always ready to go above and beyond for her clients. "

"Dorrie Tames Powell handled two of our house sales and two home purchases over a few years time in Santa Barbara and Goleta. She managed the paperwork, inspections, and showings  skillfully and professionally. We found her to be genuine and sincere, but also bright and knowledgeable of the market. She keeps herself abreast of not only the local Santa Barbara market, but also the larger US market and economic trends and forecasts. I believe she has a high level of integrity. Her non-aggressive, always genuinely cheerful and positive approach was very much appreciated!  She is a pleasure to work with. I can recommend her highly. "
