Local Knowledge, Real Data
I was born and raised in Santa Barbara. Dos Pueblos High School, UCSB, and 15+ years in this community — including nearly a decade as Dean of Students at Laguna Blanca. I know these neighborhoods because I’ve lived in them.
LuxurySB exists because the luxury market deserves better information. Not generic portal data — real numbers, honest analysis, and the kind of local context that only comes from decades on the South Coast.
