Ty knows the Santa Barbara market very well. He found us an incredible home in the Mesa before it came on the market. He's a straight shooter, works his butt off and really gives white glove service. In addition to all this, we really loved how pleasant he has been to work with.

We had an exceptional experience working with Ty to purchase an off-market property. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand our investment goals and help us identify opportunities both on and off the market. Ty demonstrated deep knowledge of the local real estate market, offering valuable insights and advice that helped us make informed decisions. He was always proactive, responsive, and thorough, ensuring that every step of the process, from negotiation to closing, went smoothly. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and professional real estate agent, we highly recommend Ty!
