WORK WITH US

We are Team Scarborough. We are Luxury Real Estate Experts here to help you navigate Montecito, Hope Ranch, Santa Barbara and the Greater Santa Barbara County with a reputation built on an unwavering commitment to our clients and each of their individual goals. Our 32 years of success has been earned by providing the highest level of support, discretion, honesty, transparency and communication to each and every one of our incredible clients. Let us help you achieve the results you’ve earned.

BUYING OR SELLING
CHOOSING THE RIGHT REALTOR MATTERS

Over the last 30 years, our average buyer and seller representation has been closely split at 60% sellers and 40% buyers. Most top agents represent around 80% sellers and ONLY 20% buyers… This statistic is very important when choosing an agent. You want realtors who more evenly represent both sellers AND buyers. It is this perspective that allows us to remain constantly attune to the changes and nuances in home trends and market demands, with a keen awareness of both seller and buyer needs. Because we work with both buyers and sellers day-in and day-out, when we represent sellers we are quick to respond to each buyer’s individual needs. We personally show our listings and identify opportunities to better prepare our sellers’ properties for successful showings. 

WHAT TO EXPECT
WHEN WORKING WITH US

As a family operated business, our number one goal is strong and consistent communication focused on keeping our clients well-informed. We aim to provide our clients with the most accurate information, sharing neighborhood nuances and readily providing up to date market data to help our clients make the best decision, whether to buy or sell, and at what price.

For many this can be one of the most emotional and important decisions of a lifetime, but because we invest more time than most realtors getting to know our clients, their lifestyle and what they want, our clients have confidence in us to:

1) pre-screen homes

2) trust we will curate a list that is worth their time

3) create lasting relationships worthy of your referrals

WE ARE
FULL SERVICE LISTING AGENTS

1) We are present for every showing, unlike our competition, who many times have their assistants or colleagues do the showings. 

 

2) We invest in every client. Each team member is fully committed to our client’s happiness and satisfaction.

 

3) We have a team of photographers, stagers, service providers and landscapers to make the transition from homeownership to listing a property supported and carefree.
