Hi, I’m Carly - And I’m So Glad You’re Here
I’m Carly Gribble, a Santa Barbara native, real estate agent, and someone who believes that buying or selling a home should feel a little more magical and a lot more personal.
Growing up here as a contractor’s daughter, I learned early on how homes are more than four walls - they’re where stories are made. My journey has taken me from designing and selling spec homes in Lake Tahoe to helping clients navigate the Santa Barbara and Montecito markets with intention, heart, and expertise. Whether it's assessing the bones of a house or envisioning what could be, I’m here to walk you through every step with clarity, care, and a bit of creativity.
What I’m Passionate About (Besides Real Estate)
- Santa Barbara – It’s home in the deepest sense. From Mesa sunsets to Montecito morning coffee runs, I love sharing everything that makes this place special.
- Interior Design & Home Construction – I speak fluent blueprint and backsplash. My background lets me help clients truly see what’s possible.
- Emotional Wellness – Buying or selling a home is emotional. My goal is to be a steady, empathetic partner through it all.
- Healthy, Connected Living – Whether I’m biking by the beach or unwinding with a sunset walk, I’m all about balanced, beauty-filled living.
