Meet Lisa

No matter your situation, a new home is the fulfillment of a dream, a new chapter, a possibility yet to unfold. Creating your dream takes time, expertise, and powerful negotiating skills. Known for her attention to detail, Lisa offers comprehensive real estate services to both buyers and sellers, always working to go above and beyond her client’s expectations.
 
For most, real estate is one of their most expensive investments, ultimately affecting the comfort and happiness of an individual or entire family. We all want to work with experts in the field. We want to work with the most knowledgeable person in the niche area of our choice. We want to find a secret, something others have not yet found! We want our sales or purchases to flow smoothly. Efficiency, ease, and value are on the top of most client’s minds.
 
In a recent branding survey, clients used these words to describe Lisa and her business approach: trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable, generous, calm, prepared, dependable, peaceful, refined, attentive, authentic, top-of-the-line, the best, honest, fair, friendly, confident, and respected in the community.
 
Specializing in Bonnymede Shores, Montecito’s exclusive oceanside enclave, buyers and sellers get the added comfort and security of knowing Lisa has lived in the Bonnymede community for over 22 years. Lisa has personally bought and sold 7 units there and rented another 5. Having done extensive renovations in all the units owned, Lisa is familiar with the HOA rules & regulations, and construction approval procedures. She also has up-to-date knowledge of planned community projects and neighborhood improvements.
 
Lisa is known for setting the bar for pricing and excellence in the Bonnymede Shores community. Her name is synonymous with quality and investment value. Equipped with the long view, Lisa sees the potential of each property. She tirelessly guides her clients in their decision-making process with humor and integrity.
 
Lisa’s knowledge doesn’t stop there! As a valued member of the Goodwin & Thyne Properties team, Lisa has learned the value of being part of a locally established, Broker-owned, real estate agency. As one of Santa Barbara’s premier agencies, Goodwin & Thyne Properties' team members’ focus is on working together as committed team members, working collaboratively, and offering comprehensive and client-centered services and support, while remaining deeply rooted and connected to the community. We work with each other the same way we work with our clients, with transparency, honesty, and care.
 
Prior to her career in real estate sales, design, and development, Lisa was a clinical psychotherapist specializing in working with adolescents. Throughout this intensive work, Lisa always had a residential design/renovation/restoration project in the works. Lisa is the recipient of two Historic Preservation Excellence in Design awards.
 
With a background in art and design, combined with decades of honing her listening and interpersonal skills, Lisa is well suited for the variety of aspects that present themselves in real estate transactions. And, having studied for a master's and two doctorate degrees, Lisa is no stranger to research, long hours, and hard work! A life-long learner, Lisa is always reading and studying, eager to expand on her knowledge of new technologies and innovations, City and County property and financial rules and regulations, and Community development concerns.
