"I had the pleasure of working with Wade, during the recent purchase of my new home. My journey with Wade started when I was still living in San Diego and needed to relocate to the California central coast for my job. I found a rental property online and reached out for more information. The rental property was managed by Monument Global Estates; the company Wade works for. To my good fortune, Wade happened to be the point of contact – my first touchpoint in the Buellton/Solvang area.
Wade went above and beyond to provide information on the area, suggest locations that would be safe and desirable for a single woman to live, and offer suggestions on local eateries, entertainment options, and area highlights. He and his lovely wife even met me out for dinner when I came for a house-hunting expedition, going above and beyond to assist.
During my year-long tenure as a renter, I explored many properties throughout Buellton, Solvang, Santa Ynez, and Los Alamos to purchase. Wade was with me every step of the way; very patient and understanding of my desires, purchase power, and proximity to work needs. He helped identify the pros and cons of each property and offered perspective on areas of improvement at each location to meet my standards.
When I found the home that was right for me, Wade was incredibly responsive and proactive in moving the process forward. He worked hand-in-glove with the inspectors (home, pest, fireplace) the Title Company, and contractors to make my home feel like mine; all while I was working full time.
In short, I highly recommend Wade Koch for any prospective buyer in the Central Coast region. He is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable on the area, and knows who to call to get things done. And most importantly, he is a good human being. As someone who rarely goes on record with endorsements, this is one that I freely give. Give Wade a shot – I promise you won’t be disappointed!"

"With Wade Koch, it’s not just the buying and selling of property, it is a “Relationship and a “Friendship” in business and in life. From my experience, Wade Koch isn’t just a real estate agent — he’s deeply woven into the fabric of the Santa Ynez Valley. He has invested the time to truly learn this community inside and out — its homes, its businesses, and most importantly, its people. His knowledge isn’t just from research; it’s built through real relationships, involvement, and genuine care.
Wade approaches every transaction with kindness, diligence, and determination. He makes the process feel effortless, yet you always know there’s great strategy behind the scenes. His ability to negotiate and leverage opportunities is exceptional — and always done with integrity.
Wade has anchored himself in the real estate community in mind, action and heart by diligently educating and connecting himself in knowledge and closeness to all happenings and involvement related to the businesses, residential housing and individuals of the community throughout the entire Valley.
What sets Wade apart is how connected and resourceful he is. Whether you’re buying, selling, renovating, or just settling into the community, he has trusted contacts for everything — and he shares them generously. Beyond that, he takes the time to build a personal relationship, not just a professional one.
With Wade, you don’t just gain an agent — you gain an ally, a guide, a lifelong friend!"

"Wade was a pleasure to work with both as a property manager and a realtor! He is super responsive and effective, and moved our renovation process speedily along, kept up with servicemen, and then sold our family properties in unbelievably little time! He's a people person, respectful, informative, and understanding. We had a loss in our family recently, and he was very supportive and helpful navigating the turbulent time. I couldn't recommend him more strongly!"

"It was a pleasure working with Wade and Kristina at Monument Global Estates from the very beginning as property managers and eventually as realtors. They helped us renovate our country rentals into chic modern homes and sold them in record time! One home sold before it was even officially listed for sale. Very trustworthy, friendly, and experts at what they do, I highly recommend them both!"
