Since 1996, Village Properties, led by Renee Grubb, has been the premier real estate company in Santa Barbara. As a locally owned and operated real estate company, we focus on the unique needs of the region. Under Renee’s visionary leadership, our dedicated team not only serves clients but actively contributes to the well-being of our neighbors and communities. We’re more than a real estate company, we’re stewards of the community, committed to serving this beautiful area and its exceptional properties.
EMBRACING THE PAST
Village Properties boldly opened its doors at 1250 Coast Village Road in May 1996 and we maintain that location to this day, and have expanded to three additional offices. With over $22 billion in lifetime sales and over 13,600 transactions, we are sincerely committed to the communities we serve. This stems mainly from a fundamental aspect of our culture where we deeply value our role as fiduciaries in significant transactions, a duty we approach with the utmost care and professionalism.
In 2002, Village established the Teacher’s Fund, and since then has provided local teachers with over $2.1 million in direct grants for their classrooms.

THRIVING IN THE PRESENT
As we have seen especially over the past five years, the real estate market is ever-changing. We are built to thrive in and adapt to any real estate market. While the covid market was frenzied, we have adjusted to a new market defined by limited inventory and higher interest rates. While not the same market, this reminds us of how we performed during the Great Financial Crisis. We focused on what we do best; advising our clients with best-in-class service and local market expertise. In 2023, market-wide we were involved in 1 of every 5 transactions (20%). At the high-end, we represented 7 of the top 10, and 9 of the top 15 most expensive transactions in our market.
Today, we continue to see a Seller’s Market, with consistent buyer demand locally, regionally, as well as from select domestic markets.
