We have bought and sold homes across the country and by comparison April Hugh is an exceptional Realtor. April has the rare ability to listen to her client and arrive at a clear understanding of the client's goals and works tirelessly to actualize them. In our case she negotiated on our behalf with the prospective Buyer's agent to overcome several issues that were potential Deal Breakers; she always finds a creative solution...April has shown herself to be an outstanding Professional! We unconditionally recommend April Hugh to anyone buying or selling Real Estate in Santa Barbara County CA.

April was available and engaged during the listing, proposal and final closing. She responded to queries quickly. She was very knowledgeable about the housing market in my area and provided support when needed.

I chose April Hugh because I have seen her flyers at my front door step for many years so I knew she would have the expertise, knowledge and understanding of the housing market in my neihborhood. She was very informative, very thorough and quick to get back to me when I had questions. I would definately recommend her to friends and family.

April Hugh was our realtor when we purchased a home in 2021. Her excellent customer service led us to work with her again to sell a property.

April's ability to navigate the sale was flawless. Her knowledge and expertise helped make the sale a very quick and smooth transaction. She went above and beyond and kept us apprised of all details.

April is a true delight to work with. She's both warm and professional and always available for her clients. She was very helpful and understanding from beginning to end. It was a very positive experience. We will continue to recommend her to our family and friends.

April Hugh was referred to me early in the process. After speaking with her the first time, I was convinced she was the very best choice. April is very personable, and above all, she's a professional, someone who goes above and beyond for her clients. For anyone who might ask if I know a great agent, April Hugh is my first (and only) recommendation.

Ventura, CA - Oct 2, 2022

I don't live in Santa Maria area. I left sales and negotiating up to April. Two offers came in. She suggested I counter both offers. I declined the counter and took the offer with shortest escrow time. The deal was closed early. I am totally satisfied with all of April's work from listing to closing. I was impressed with her after my initial discussion with her. I chose her and my choice proved to be spot on. Since I do not live in area I needed someone who could and would market the property with minimal input from me. April did the work and kept me informed. I could not be happier.

She said she would sell the property. She sold it. Everything, from the listing agreement to the sales contract and escrow was handled by April.

If you are seeking a real estate agent who is honest, does what she says she will do, and will work hard for you, then you should contact April. You can't go wrong using her for all your real estate needs.

April was just fantastic. Her patience, wisdom and knowledge made this experience so memorable. She is so professional and just outclassed any expectations my wife and I had before meeting her.

Call me anytime and I will happily share my experience with Ms. April Hugh. 310-795-7553. She made selling my home a great experience for a military member that does not live in the vicinity. I came back from a year deployment with the huge gorilla on my back, she kindly took it off my shoulders and gave him a better life.

April is a go getter and works hard to get a sale in your best interests.

Lauren
Santa Maria, CA - Dec 22, 2020

April really listened to our needs/wants and tailored the listings to our style. She is quick at responding to emails or texts and explains the process thoroughly, which helped us a lot as first time buyers. If a new listing came on the market that she thought we would want to see, she would send it right away. She is a wonderful real estate agent and would recommend her to family and friends!

Andrea
Vandenberg Village, CA - Oct 24, 2020

The fact that she had many years being a realtor and also how she was pretty straight forward in being willing to 15% of her commission says a lot about how secure she is in herself. She was awesome and really kind and positive throughout this stressful process. She knew which areas were for us and we couldn’t be happier that we had her to work with.

April was so congenial to work with. She made the whole process a pleasure.

Susan V
Santa Barbara, CA - May 17, 2020

If April hadn't moved on all aspects of the sale so quickly I believe we would not have sold the home when we did (COVID situation began around escrow) We feel so fortunate that we had April as our agent. The entire transaction was completed within 35 days, via phone calls/emails from another city. We never had to drive to Santa Maria, which was very convienant. April kept us well informed throughout the process, all of our questions were answered promptly. She is honest, patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable.

Thank you April, you are the best!

We love April. She has hung in there with us through the years until we were really ready to buy our home.
We wouldn’t think of using anyone else. She was always so calm and professional thru the whole process. Other parties involved were not so calm. She got us through even on the bad days!

Angela
Orcutt, CA - Apr 27, 2019

I am so happy we chose April Hugh! She was very knowledgeable of the market and helped me sell my house within a couple of days. She was a pleasure to work with, professional, and made everything go very smoothly. I would definitely recommend her to all of my friends.

John and Karen
Santa Maria, CA - Dec 6, 2018

After we interviewed 4 Realtors we selected April Hugh, because she listened to our needs and had a game plan to sell our home! She helped us set the price accurately and professionally presented our home through a variety of media that shares the key features buyers are looking for today. From the first day our home was listed, multiple calls came in for a private showing and within 7 days we had an offer. April exceeded our expectations by keeping us well informed from day one to close of escrow 30 days later! We would highly recommend April Hugh to anyone looking to sell or buy a home! She is an asset to Century 21 Hometown Realty!
