About Gary Goldberg

With career sales of over $750 million, Gary offers extensive and in-depth Real Estate experience, and continues to serve his clients with concern and diligence, guiding them through the current often challenging real estate market. Gary is the first to acknowledge that real estate is not what it used to be. "Everyone has to work harder, longer and smarter," he says. Gary is no stranger to hard work. When he started his Santa Barbara-based real estate firm, Coastal Properties, Gary found a niche in managing vacation rentals. He then expanded his business to selling to the vacation rental clients, and then expanded further to establish his company as a leading home sales company. During the real estate boom in 2005 and 2006 Gary closed over $162 million in sales. According to the Board of Realtors statistics, Gary continues to rank in the Top Ten in volume of business and in number of closings. The challenge has been how to work smarter yet still maintain the quality of service his clients have become accustomed to. As the Internet has become the medium of choice for many savvy home shoppers, Gary has adapted to heavier Internet use, while still offering select print advertising to those who prefer it. What has not changed is the manner in which he serves his clientele. Gary is a working broker and operates his business with the same level of commitment to his clients and to the agents who work for him as when he first opened Coastal Properties twenty four years ago. As a former practicing attorney, Gary benefits his real estate clients in more ways than many agents are able to, making sure his buyers and sellers have access to legal advice if necessary. Coastal Properties still maintains a thriving property management unit, and a separate sales division, both serving home owners, buyers and sellers in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Summerland, Carpinteria, Hope Ranch, Goleta, Ventura and the nearby beach communities. Gary has contributed many volunteer hours to the Santa Barbara Board of REALTORS, where he currently sits on the Professional Standards and the Grievance Committees. For many years Gary has taught Real Estate Law and Practice at Santa Barbara City College, and through the years Coastal Properties has contributed to various other local charities and organizations. Last year he was Fundraising Chairman for the Carpinteria Boys and Girls Club. Gary's many glowing testimonials, as well as repeat business and the many referrals he receives from satisfied clients, are a visible and solid testament to his real estate expertise and care for his clients.

Gary Goldberg has an excellent Team at Coastal Properties. Gary miraculously sold our home with a broker caravan followed by one open house. The house sold for more than asking price. This was exactly what Gary said would happen. Gary Goldberg was kind, professional and knowledgeable. He outlined the process for our family and was patient with our timing. We followed his recommendations and found them to be spot on. His recommendations for consultant services were excellent. I would recommend Gary Goldberg and Coastal Properties for any real estate transactions. They are the best!

We have known Gary in two roles for our real estateA needs: first for managing our rental property in Santa Barbara for nearly 18 years and then to market and sell the same property. In both roles he and his team has been outstanding.We decided to sellA our condo during the 2020 virus crisis and were concerned how the sale would be handled. Gary excelled on several fronts. His advice turned out to be both correctA and beneficial for us. He advised us how much to spend on remodelling before putting the property on the market and he oversaw the repairs, making sure everthing was being handled in a professional manner and at a fair price. He helped us navigate the added complexities inherent in buying and selling real estate during the covid crisis. Most importantly he acted as a buffer so that the entire process was stress-free for us.Every issue that arose during the sale was resolved by Gary without causing any stress to us.He advisedA us on pricing the property at a level that ended up getting us more than we expected. We have had the opportunity to work with real estate agents in Arizona, Michigan and California and we rate Gary and his team as head and shoulders above the rest.We highly recommendA Gary Goldberg. He will guide you on every step and get you the best deal without causing the usual stress that most financial transactions cause.
