Sandy Lipowski

Within her first year as a Realtor, Sandy became one of the top professionals in her company. Since then -- specializing in residential and estate listings and sales in Montecito, Santa Barbara and surrounding areas -- she has been one of Sotheby's International Realty's highest producing agents year after year.

During 2009, Sandy has sold more than $18,000,000 worth of Real Estate in the Santa Barbara South County area. These closings, rank Sandy in 5th place at the top of the Sotheby's International Realty offices and 12th in the Santa Barbara MLS (Multiple Listing Service) which has 1,400+ area licensed Realtors.

Successfully representing both sellers and buyers, Sandy has the connections and the know-how to get the job done smoothly and effortlessly

Communication and negotiation are Sandy's golden talents, strengthened by 16 years in sales and marketing prior to her real estate career. Within three months of landing her first job in the communications (radio) industry, she was named General Manager, and guided her company to leadership in market share for the entire country. She is considered to be a master negotiator, consistently delivering the highest price for sellers, and winning in multiple bidding scenarios for buyers. Understandably, the majority of her business is from loyal clients and referrals.

Sandy has taught advertising and marketing, possesses a degree in journalism, and has an in-depth understanding of consumer trends, targets demographics and psychographics. "I have a background in, and knowledge of, advertising and marketing unsurpassed by any other area Realtor," she states with confidence.

In addition to being very well-known and connected in the business community, Sandy is active and highly respected in the private and non-profit sectors. She is a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). She assists children in need due to traumatic family situations. She is also the Treasurer of Willbridge of Santa Barbara. Willbridge ends suffering by providing safe-haven housing for SB's homeless chronically ill, offering them a long-term, supportive alternative to living on the streets.

In spite of her busy professional and community service commitments, Sandy manages to make time for her favorite pastimes - cooking and savoring Santa Barbara's outdoor activities. She enjoys intimate dinner parties with friends and frequent walks with her dog "Buddy."

Sandy's professional affiliations include the Santa Barbara, California and National Associations of Realtors, and she is business partners with fellow realtor Daniela Johnson, also offering an extensive background in sales and negotiation.
