A different kind of real estate advisor
Karina Matic
I’m Karina Matic, a Santa Barbara and Montecito listing agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, known for strategic guidance, discretion, and skilled negotiation.
Over 15 years serving Santa Barbara, Montecito, Hope Ranch, Summerland, and Carpinteria have earned me a reputation for clear communication, meticulous execution, and long-term client relationships.
A structured approach
My background — a B.S. in Industrial Engineering, plus experience in business development — shapes a structured, analytical approach to pricing strategy, positioning, and negotiation. Clients value my ability to simplify complex decisions, protect their interests, and keep transactions organized and calm when timing and details matter most.
A global perspective, close to home
Born in Santa Barbara and raised in Mexico, I spent every summer on the South Coast before relocating back permanently 23 years ago. Marketing studies in Nottingham, England, and extensive international travel shaped a global perspective — one I bring to a lifelong appreciation for the architecture, lifestyle, and natural beauty that make this coastline unique.
Hands-on where it counts
A key differentiator in my work is a hands-on understanding of remodeling, construction, and property potential, supported by a trusted local network of design, construction, and vendor professionals. For sellers, that often means prioritizing the improvements that genuinely move the needle — without overdoing it — so a home presents at its best while protecting ROI and timeline. For buyers, it means evaluating upside with practical, reality-based insight.
Trust & estate sales
I assist trustees and estate representatives with discretion and clear documentation.
I serve clients in English and Spanish.
Recognition
Known for quiet professionalism, focus, and trusted guidance, I’m recognized as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chairman’s Circle Platinum — a distinction shared by the top 1% of the BHHS network globally — along with honors from LA Magazine, RealTrends, and recognition as a Top Hispanic Real Estate Agent. I’m supported by consistent five-star reviews from the clients I’ve worked with.
