Welcome to the blog of Rebecca Riskin & Associates. Part of Village Properties Realtors, we are the leaders of luxury real estate in the sought-after Montecito and Santa Barbara areas. We represent premiere properties that feature the area’s world-class ocean and mountain views, privacy, and locations.
Rebecca Riskin’s success comes from her love for her work. The Los Angeles native began her career selling homes in L.A.’s exclusive Westside after sustaining an injury while dancing with the American Ballet Theatre in New York. She soon discovered the same sense of fulfillment in the real estate industry that she received from ballet, and channeled her discipline and determination into her new calling. In 1990, Rebecca moved to Montecito to settle down after having her son and quickly became a prominent figure in the local market. With sales totaling over $1 billion, she has been Santa Barbara’s top realtor for the last decade.
She says, “I think my success comes from the fact that each morning I wake up excited about what the day at work may bring. I am thrilled by the challenge, and I truly enjoy the clients, the homes, and putting together creative deals.”
After 31 years of experience, she entertains an extensive knowledge of the market, harbors compelling negotiating skills, and has a knack for securing deals. Colleagues and clients associate Rebecca’s name with sincerity, passion, and her savvy of the real estate industry as both a business accord and an intimate undertaking.
By building a dynamic team with licensed agents Sarah Kelly and Dina Landi, Rebecca’s success now reaches and penetrates Montecito’s real estate market even farther and deeper. Working together as Rebecca Riskin & Associates, the talented trio specializes in paying each client an unrivaled amount of personal attention, not to mention the peace of mind that comes from working with the leaders in Montecito real estate.
After seven, thoroughly fulfilling years of working together, Rebecca Riskin & Associates have closed transactions in excess of $750 million. Their colleagues, clients, and the local community applaud their prosperity and praise their contribution to the region’s real estate industry. They profess, “whether it’s a quaint cottage or a grand estate, we take great pride in representing quality properties.”
