If you’re considering buying property, your agent’s knowledge of the area and experience in your price range is critical to your making a prudent investment. In special communities like Santa Barbara, Montecito, Carpinteria and Hope Ranch, California – where no two homes are alike, where climatic conditions very dramatically, where values are frequently more subjective than quantifiable and where many available properties are marketed on a quiet, exclusive basis among only the most experienced agents – your choice of an agent and brokerage firm will certainly affect the success of your efforts. With my 30-plus years of experience representing buyers and sellers of our area’s most significant properties, I’m considered an authority on our estate market. After your home is selected and the purchase negotiations begin, it’s often an agent’s experience and reputation that carries the most influence between principals.

If you’re interested in buying in the Santa Barbara area, I will introduce you to our community and make sure that you see all the properties in your category so you can be confident you’re making the correct choice. If you’ve been looking for the perfect home, but have been disappointed with your selection, please give me a call. I maintain exclusive files on the finest properties not currently on the active market, but whose owners might be willing to consider a sale. I can also assist you with a thorough reference source for local lenders, home inspectors, architects, contractors, real estate attorneys, schools and private clubs.
