"After we purchased our home with the help of Alden, my husband and I wanted to restore it as much as possible so it would have the look and feel of a 1929 home. Previous owners had done some rather poor remodeling which actually detracted from the property. It was great working with Alden because he knew exactly what we wanted and assured us he could do it. But honestly, nothing prepared us for what we saw when we came back to move into our home. The new wood windows and door were fabulous. The re-making of the fireplace and mantle was superb.
But what he did to the kitchen was simply breathtaking--it actually made me cry! The man is a perfectionist and we are so happy with him for what he has done for us. We can't recommend Market Ready Properties strongly enough!!"

"I read about Market Ready Properties in the paper and was very intrigued by what he was offering. I wanted to sell my home and I had a number of friends in the industry who all wanted the listing, but none of them were willing to do what he was offering to do in order to "earn my business." His recommendations were right on target, and there is no doubt in my mind that the work MRP did resulted in a very quick sale at substantially more money than what my friends in the biz thought it would go for. I can't recommend Alden highly enough. He and his guys were simply great." —  Eric, Santa Ynez CA

"Well, I heard about Market Ready Properties on the radio, and wasn't quite sure what to make of it. I mean, how many real estate people are going to fix up your property before selling it, right? I mean, really?? But I figured it couldn't hurt to call him and talk it over, right? I can say without any hesitation that he is the real deal. He did everything he said he was going to do. Alden and his crew were very professional and easy to work with, and my condo sold very quickly. Thank you Alden.". — Linda, Santa Barbara CA

"When my wife and I read about Alden Fairbanks and Market Ready Properties in the News Press we felt our prayers had been answered. We desperately needed to sell our house, but it was suffering from over twenty years of what I call "benign neglect". We were amazed at how quickly Alden and his crew totally transformed our property and got it sold for considerably more than its appraised value. I recommend Alden and Market Ready Properties for anybody contemplating a real estate transaction." — George B., Santa Barbara CA

"When my dad told me that he was going to list his house with a real estate agent that was going to improve the property prior to selling it, I was convinced he was totally confused, and I argued with him at great length that agents didn't fix anything. I insisted we have a meeting, and my sister came down from the bay area to also attend. Alden explained that he was a contractor as well as a broker, and was going to "polish up the house and unlock its true value" prior to putting it on the market. And did he ever! We were floored at what he did, including staging the house. Alden under-promised and over-delivered and all of us can't say enough good things about him." — R. Miller, Santa Barbara CA
