Deciding to Sell

Selling Your Home in Santa Barbara & Montecito

Local Expertise. Global Connections. Personal Attention.

Selling your home is personal. Your goals, timing, and property deserve a plan built around you.

I bring more than two decades of Santa Barbara and Montecito real estate experience, the international reach of Sotheby’s International Realty, and personal attention to every stage of your sale.

The Sotheby’s International Realty Advantage

Your buyer may live down the street, across the country, or overseas.

Sotheby’s International Realty brings a respected name in luxury, exceptional property presentation, and a worldwide network of real estate professionals. Through global listing exposure, property distribution, and carefully selected marketing opportunities, we introduce your home to buyers well beyond our local market.

I pair those resources with my own national and international relationships. These are people I stay connected with, share opportunities with, and call when I have a property that may be right for their clients.

Home Platform Technology. Personal Follow Through.

Following Compass’s acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate, Sotheby’s International Realty now combines its established luxury marketing with new technology through Home Platform.

This proprietary platform brings tools for marketing, client communication, and transaction organization into one place. For my sellers, it supports a more connected process and helps me stay focused on the details.

I use those tools alongside showing feedback, local market knowledge, and conversations with agents. The information matters, and so does picking up the phone. You can expect personal updates, honest feedback, and clear advice throughout your sale.

Preparation, Presentation, and Pricing

Before we go to market, I help you decide where to focus your time and resources. That might mean landscaping, paint, repairs, staging, or simply a thoughtful edit. I can introduce trusted professionals to help get things done.

From there, we bring together professional photography, compelling property materials, digital marketing, and direct outreach to showcase what makes your home special.

Pricing receives the same attention. I consider recent sales, competing homes, buyer activity, and your property’s individual qualities. We discuss the reasoning, establish a strategy together, and stay attentive to the response.

Personally Involved Through Closing

When offers arrive, I look beyond price to financing, contingencies, timing, and possession.

I negotiate on your behalf and stay closely involved through inspections, repair discussions, and escrow. My job is to keep you informed, work through challenges, and help you make confident decisions along the way.

A Relationship Beyond the Sale

My job does not end when your property closes.

Whether you need help finding your next home, an introduction to an agent in another city or country, a trusted local professional, or advice about a future investment or luxury lease, I remain available.

My goal is to earn your trust through this transaction and remain the person you call for all things real estate.

Let’s Talk About Your Home

You do not need to be ready to list to start a conversation. We can discuss your home’s value, preparation, timing, and the approach that makes sense for you.
