Santa Barbara Riviera Homes

Chris began his real estate career in 1987 with the philosophy of providing honest counsel and quality service to his clientele. Consequently, he devoted the time and energy to obtain the 'PhD' of real estate - The Broker’s License - and his career accomplishments have reflected this devotion to his profession. Chris is among the most respected real estate professionals in Santa Barbara and is consistently in the top 1% of Coldwell Banker agents nationwide.

Chris' areas of expertise are residential sales in Santa Barbara and Montecito with a particular emphasis on the coveted homes of 'The Riviera.' Chris has a standard of practice with his clientele that includes honesty, knowledge and quality service. He provides buyers with a total knowledge of the inventory (including “off-market” listings), knowledge of the community from a native's perspective, and experienced negotiating skills. He provides sellers with honest consultation, a tailored marketing plan and an emphasis on properly preparing and pricing their home to achieve a timely and successful sale.

Chris is a third generation Santa Barbaran and has spent most of his life in the area. He graduated from UCSB with degrees in political science and business economics. “I love Santa Barbara for its beauty, temperate climate and emphasis on outdoor activities.” In his leisure time Chris can usually be found on a tennis or beach volleyball court or spending time with his wife Elizabeth and sons Bijan & Leif. Whether you are new to Santa Barbara or looking to make a change Chris looks forward to supporting your real estate goals with honest counsel and quality service.
