Santa Barbara, often referred to as The American Riviera, offers a lifestyle unlike any other, defined by coastal beauty, timeless architecture, and a vibrant cultural scene.

Beyond real estate, our trusted network of partners, from architects and designers to fine dining, wineries, and golf, ensures that every aspect of life here is within reach.

Outside of real estate, Bob embraces the Santa Barbara lifestyle he helps his clients discover. His passions include golf, hiking the scenic trails of the Central Coast, enjoying fine dining, exploring the region’s renowned wines, and cooking for his wife Julie.
