About Andy Katsev

Working with Gene McKnight has been a pleasure. Together, we’ve successfully represented multiple clients on investment sales through strong teamwork, disciplined execution, and a shared commitment to results. Gene’s deep market knowledge and nationwide investment network consistently create tangible value for our clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Gene to any Village Properties agent and welcome the opportunity to collaborate with him.

There are no words to describe my gratitude for having Gene by my side as I navigated through my commercial property purchase. Gene was 100% available at all times, genuinely had my best interest at heart, proactive in finding the most lucrative commercial investment opportunity, diligent throughout the process including accompanying me to visit the property and he remains available post closing as a resource. Gene's connections and expertise in the industry coupled with his professionalism makes him truly shine above all others. Gene McKnight will always be my first choice when I am investing in commercial real estate.

My Board and I enjoyed working with Gene to secure our organization’s first property. It was a learning experience for our organization, and Gene was an incredible guide through it all, working with the unique timeline and elements of our transaction with patience and professionalism. Gene’s deep experience in the commercial real estate market in Santa Barbara was a valuable resource to our team, and remains so today as he continues to support our team and property acquisition with his time and expertise in other ways.

I've worked with Gene McKnight for over 25 years on lease negotiations and renewals for Los Arroyos Mexican Restaurant. He Understands the realities of operating a long-standing local business and consistently delivers thoughtful, fair, and effective real estate guisnacne. He understands both the business realties of ownership and the long-term value of strong landlord-tenant relationships.
