A Hot Market Requires Cool Thinking

The high-end real estate market in Montecito shows no signs of slowing down for summer, which means timing and expertise are more important than ever. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, you need the right person on your side, the way Ryan Malmsten of Santa Barbara Brokers shepherded the sale of 965 Brooktree Road (listed at $11,500,000), a turnkey European country villa with breathtaking ocean and Channel Islands views from every room.

A Montecito resident himself, Ryan has over two decades of real estate experience, and he remains confident that Santa Barbara is and will always be one of the best places to own real estate in the world. Whatever your real estate intentions, or even if you’d just like some free advice, he can help. Contact him at 805-444-7926 or [email protected].
