A closer look at the work

A curated selection of recent transactions — several renovated in partnership with Matic Design & Build, a collaboration that shapes how Karina reads a property’s potential from the very first walkthrough.

305 Mesa Lane

Sold $4,595,000

West Mesa, Santa Barbara · 4 beds · 5 baths · 3,148 sq ft

Originally built in 1975, this two-story coastal home near the Mesa Lane Steps underwent a complete architectural transformation by Matic Design & Build — a reframed open floor plan, two primary suites, a Wolf-and-Sub-Zero kitchen, and an expanded deck with a new mountain-view balcony. Karina represented this property on both sides of its story, listing it before the transformation and again after. Once the renovation was complete, the home went into escrow within two days of hitting the market — the result of selling preparation and a marketing timeline built around the finished product, not a rushed listing date.

622 Sunrise Vista Way

Sold $4,200,000

Alta Mesa, Santa Barbara · 4 beds · 3.5 baths · 2,549 sq ft (as acquired)

Karina represented the seller on this ocean-and-mountain-view property in Alta Mesa’s La Vista Estates, securing it through direct outreach before it was ever broadly marketed — a case where groundwork done well ahead of time mattered more than a public listing date. What had been a dated two-story residence with real bones has since been reimagined by Matic Design & Build into a modern Spanish retreat, anchored by a 14-foot pocket door that opens the great room completely to a panoramic ocean and mountain view.

1062 Camino del Retiro

Offered at $4,995,000

Rancho San Antonio, Santa Barbara · 5 beds · 6 baths · 3,476 sq ft · 0.51-acre lot

Karina represented the buyer when this 1964 ranch home — vacant for half a decade — first came to market. Working with Matic Design & Build, the property was completely restored: all-new infrastructure throughout, four en-suite bedrooms, a dedicated wine room, a pool, a putting green and bocce court, and a detached ADU finished to rival the main house. Now known as Casa de Verano, Karina represents the completed home as its listing agent.

3817 Calle Cita

Sold $3,895,000

San Roque, Santa Barbara · 4 beds · 4 baths · 2,700 sq ft

Once a modest tract home, 3817 Calle Cita was reimagined by Matic Design & Build into a modern farmhouse — a 1,100-square-foot addition, a custom wine cellar, a stone accent wall, and a new pool and deck built for entertaining. As listing agent, Karina brought the finished home, Roseview Villa, to market — it sold in just 16 days.
