About Ursula

A Santa Barbara Native
Deeply Rooted Locally

Santa Barbara isn't just where I work. It's where I grew up, where I live, and where I'm raising my family. I went to school here, built my career here, and now I'm raising my daughters in the Santa Ynez Valley — which means when I help you find a home in this county, I'm not reading from a brochure. I'm sharing a place I love deeply.

"Real estate is how I serve my community. Every client I help is a family putting down roots in a place I call home too."

With over a decade of experience and a network of trusted local vendors built through real relationships — not Google — I connect you with the right people at every step. I'm fully bilingual in English and Spanish, SRES® certified, and ranked Top 2% nationwide with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. Most of my business comes from referrals. That says more than any award.
