Our Values

Start With Kindness.

This is the heart of how we work with our clients and within our community. We believe all negotiations should be win-win, with everyone treated with respect, dignity and kindness.

Require Integrity.

Of ourselves, of the professionals we recommend, and of the people we work with. We live our values. Our values are embedded in our work, our relationships, and everything we do.

Champion Environmental & Social Change.

We actively promote local businesses that share our values and do their part to preserve Santa Barbara’s natural beauty and character. Monica is also in the process of getting the NAR’s Green Designation to be able to educate her clients and the community on sustainable building practices.

Prioritize Quality Over Quantity.

We believe the quality of the experience and the quality of our relationships are just as important as the outcome, which means we limit the number of clients we take on to ensure you get our undivided attention.

Embrace the Village.

We believe in the power of support that a strong team of advisors can provide to ensure that the decision to buy or sell is made within the context of your larger life vision. We actively collaborate with your team of advisors so you can benefit from their expertise and objective guidance. If you don’t already have a team in place, we can introduce you to best-in-class advisors, contractors and vendors who share our strong core values.

Inspire Gratitude.

We believe in showing gratitude for the many privileges we’ve enjoyed along the way, and when we close on a property, we donate 1% of our commission to People and the Planet through non-profits of our clients’ choosing.

Non-profits we’ve contributed to in the past include:

Women’s Economic Ventures, United Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, Heifer International, The Fund for Santa Barbara, The Santa Barbara Foundation, CALM, CARE4PAWS, and Direct Relief International.
