This extensive experience has instilled in Maureen the discretion and communication skills necessary in dealing with notable clientele requiring privacy, prudence and diplomacy.

Maureen initiated her career as a realtor in Los Angeles with a position in commercial real estate. Relocating to Santa Barbara nearly a decade ago, Maureen moved into the field of residential real estate with the prestigious Pitts & Bachmann agency, where she specialized in high-end properties. When the firm was acquired by Sotheby's International Realty, Maureen retained her position as one of the company's most esteemed agents.

A very active mother of two children, Maureen is also a well-respected part of the Santa Barbara community. She is active in local non-profit organizations and is a board member of her homeowner's association.
