I have been helping people buy, sell, and renovate property in the Santa Barbara area for 21 years and have developed a network of top-quality professionals to help my clients. Each of the vendors or professionals below has demonstrated consistent excellence in the value, quality, and service they provide.
And if you’re new to our community, I’d love to help you find other types of resources and professionals you may need, whether it’s a great dog walker, manicurist, dentist, a place to store your wine, or a great masseuse. I also know of several rewarding places to volunteer and get involved if you’re interested in giving back to our community in new ways.
Please contact me directly for specific recommendations, or check out some of my real-estate-related recommendations here.
