Making a career change in my late 30s? Not for the faint of heart. It takes confidence, a willingness to start at the bottom, and (let’s be real) a good sense of humor. Santa Barbara is full of incredibly talented Realtors—many of them former attorneys, some with 40+ years of experience. So how do I stand out?
By being the Realtor I always wished I had—the one who truly looks out for their clients, helps them see the potential in a home, and adds value beyond just opening doors.
What I Bring to the Table (That Zillow Can’t)
These days, buyers can scroll Zillow and Redfin just as fast as I can. But finding a house is one thing—understanding it is another. That’s where I come in:
📍 Local Knowledge: I’ve spent 20+ years in Santa Barbara, and I know this town inside and out—where the best schools are (public and private), which neighborhoods get the most traffic, where to find the best hiking trails, and which coffee shops are worth the hype.
🛠 Construction Know-How: I took a full semester of construction courses—framing, carpentry, plumbing, electrical. Can I build a house? No. But can I spot red flags, ask the right questions, and help my clients avoid getting overcharged on unnecessary work? Absolutely.
🎨 Interior Design Vision: I’m taking courses in interior design to help buyers see what’s possible and sellers make their homes shine. Not everyone can walk into a dated house and picture its potential, but that’s where I come in.
Why I Love This Career
I’m so grateful to my amazing clients, my friends and family who’ve supported me (especially Fred, my #1 cheerleader), and my incredible mentor. I’ve spent weekends at open houses, soaked up everything I can, and I’m thrilled to have helped my buyers find their perfect Santa Barbara home!
This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to keep learning, growing, and helping my clients find not just a house, but a home.
