Emily McBride has ten years of real estate experience, including residential sales, real estate development, and consulting. Emily is also an artist and someone who loves to learn new things and explore.

Beginning her real estate career in her junior year of college, while completing her degree in Business Economics & Accounting at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Emily gained firsthand experience in real estate through being on the team at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and also through mentoring under several top-selling local real estate agents, and then partnering with one. Emily emerged as an independent agent in 2003 and has proved to be extremely well rounded, with a knowledge of finance and a work ethic exceeded only by her passion to serve people.

In 2008, Emily spent six months living "bi-coastal" and working on a large project, a brand new 58-story building with 223 residences, with a partner in New York City, right next to Ground Zero. As Emily put it, "It was an amazing experience to be living in New York City, right in Soho in the heart of things, and to expand my real estate portfolio of experience to be involved with the largest new development in Downtown New York. Even still, Santa Barbara is where my heart is. You see those mountains, and you know you're home."

Emily's success has been built through her strong relationships with her clients and those who she works with. Successful relationships don't just happen. They are the product of hard work, positive thinking, commitment, persistence and integrity. Emily brings these attributes to work with her each day, and the goodwill she's established and maintained exemplifies this. Her youthful spirit, high energy, and charming personality make her one of the easiest and most sought after agents to work with. In addition to being an agent, Emily has consulting experience in her background, she has mentored other new real estate agents, and she is also a member of the Santa Barbara, California and National Associations of Realtors. This means she holds herself to the highest ethical and moral standards in the industry.

Emily's service to people extends well beyond the borders of Village Properties and has dedicated her free time serving as the past Chair of the Member Services Committee for the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors and also on the Public Relations and the Housing Opportunity Committee for Santa Barbara. At work and at play (usually painting, traveling, hiking, or at the beach), Emily's ability to problem solve serves her clients and the community well.

Emily will offer you her complete and undivided attention on a moment's notice. One read of her testimonials and you'll know you are working with someone special who loves what she does. If you are looking for a terrific agent who will treat you like family, Emily is the agent of choice. Emily has spent almost all of her life right here in beautiful Southern California and she'll do everything she can to ensure you can too.
