About Sue

Formatted Realtor Profile

With over 22 years experience as a full-time Realtor and 35+ years living in the greater Santa Barbara area, it’s always a joy to bring my local knowledge, enthusiasm, and market expertise to work for my clients. I am responsive and dedicated, and have achieved Berkshire Hathaway’s “Five Year Legend” status by consistently performing in the top 1 to 2 percent of the company’s 50,000+ real estate agents worldwide - now for seven years in a row. I focus on sales in the South Coast: Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito and Carpinteria/Summerland.

In 2019, I teamed up with my colleague Kit Peterson, who I have known for over 25 years. By pooling our complementary areas of expertise, we bring an ever-increasing professionalism and energetic atmosphere to the table.

I make the most of living in this very special corner of California and sharing it with friends and family. Great restaurants, fantastic local events, the ocean, Channel Islands, beautiful uncrowded beaches, lively pickleball courts and mountain trails - what’s not to like? It’s a joy to work in the real estate industry helping Sellers and Buyers in our amazing community!
