Shandra Campbell likes to share with her clients something close to her heart: her hometown.

Growing up surrounded by the beauty of Montecito, Shandra was raised on the original Glen Oaks estate, the grand home designed in 1895 by New York society architect Stanford White. Shandra, “felt, and still feels, that it is such gift to be able to live in this paradise. I am aware every day of how fortunate I am.” An enthusiastic participant in all Santa Barbara has to offer, Shandra enjoys the beach, the mountains and all of the cultural opportunities available locally. She is also an active member of Knollwood Tennis Club and the tennis community at large.

Shandra has first-hand knowledge of local schools both private and public. She was educated locally and abroad, attending UCSB before continuing her education in Switzerland. She is widely traveled which helps fulfill a life-long thirst for learning, but her favorite times are spent in her Montecito home with her two children and loving husband. Her family helps support the centered stability that allows her to achieve so much as a professional.

As a native daughter, Shandra’s connections and intimate knowledge of Santa Barbara and Montecito are invaluable assets she shares with her clients. She is a wellspring of information about local real estate and the pulse of the community. After 25 years as a realtor, Shandra also enjoys the respect and high regard of an impressive network of colleagues, and these working relationships give a very real advantage to her clients. Equally important to Shandra’s consistent placement in the top 1% of Santa Barbara area realtors is the fact that other realtors love working with her. High profile clients value Shandra’s sophistication, clear communication, discretion and protection of their privacy. All of her clients value her accessibility, thoughtfulness and enthusiasm. Shandra loves the challenge of negotiation and finding creative solutions and always feels gratified when she has helped navigate her clients in a smooth professional manner to a successful close of escrow.

The loyalty of Shandra Campbell’s clients speaks volumes about the exceptional service she offers to them as their realtor. From the senior vice-president of Universal Studios, “The process went smoothly in all aspects and much can be attributed directly to your efforts,” to locals in the know, “Once again you have been our outstanding representative,” to clients new to the area, “You have made moving here such a joy- you are truly the reason it feels so much like home,” Shandra’s clients know how fortunate they are to have found her. Shandra represents her clients with integrity and caring. She brings to every transaction a sincere commitment to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of her clients as she introduces them to Santa Barbara.

Currently a Realtor with Village Properties, Shandra finds that her enthusiasm about the area carries over to her work. 'Because of being raised here, I enjoy bringing great families here. I know what we have to offer,' says Shandra. Real Estate has provided a professionally fulfilling environment for Shandra. As a Realtor, Shandra focuses on providing her clients with a high standard of service. She believes in clear communication and discretion. Maintaining her clients' privacy is just part of her professional service. Because of her in-born love for the area, Shandra believes she brings a special enthusiasm to sharing it with clients new to the area. 'We live in a paradise. I do not take it for granted. I enjoy hiking, the beach and tennis. I consider it a real gift to be able to live here, and, I love Real Estate. It is challenging and gratifying to help people find their home in this beautiful city.'

Dear Ms. Grubb and Mr. Edick:

It is my pleasure to commend to your attention the exceptional quality of my professional relationship with Shandra Campbell. 

Ms. Campbell represented my family’s interests in several real estate transactions over the course of the last few years.  A number of those transactions were complicated and required a high degree of attention to detail as well as much time and effort on the part of Ms. Campbell.   I have the highest regard for the manner in which she handled each and every transaction.  

It has been my pleasure on numerous occasions to recommend Ms. Campbell’s services to friends and business acquaintances that were either buying or selling real property including people our Company has relocated to the Santa Barbara area.  She has always done an excellent job of meeting their needs and I would not hesitate to recommend her in the future.  She is a credit to Village Properties and you are indeed fortunate to count her as part of your team.

Sincerely,

Andrew F. Puzder

Dear Shandra,
 
I have had all kinds of agents - from the top producers to mid-level agents come through my home.  I have found you to be the most professional and talented of all of them. I was so impressed with your understated manner in supporting and adding to my presentation to your clients. It was an enormous help and a real learning experience. I realize this is not an easy thing to do and requires a keen sense of balance; of knowing what to say, when to say it and, most importantly, what not to say. And you also reminded me that selling real estate is a true art form when done correctly. You are a true talent.
 
Sincerely,
Luke Ebbin

Dear Renée,
 
As you are aware, we recently purchased a home on 720 Ladera Lane in Montecito. We were introduced to Shandra Campbell by my friend, Tony Leggio, and met her in September of this year. At that time, we were only learning about Montecito and not seriously planning to purchase for a year or so. We felt this would be a long process and had not even committed to Montecito when we first met Shandra. Even though I let her know that I was only in the early investigational stage and gave only 24 hours notice, she put together a portfolio of homes for Casey and I to see that was incredible. It was as if she had a week or two to prepare. It was organized and the homes were varied to help her determine what would best fit our needs.  720 Ladera was one of the homes that we saw on the first day.
 
It did not take Shandra long to determine our likes and dislikes. She understood quickly the value of my time and gave us a most organized and efficient showing of several homes the first day we met. Because of her love and passion for Montecito and her knowledge and competence of her job, we placed a bid on the Ladera home within 2 weeks. If I had been asked prior to meeting Shandra if there was any chance that I would put an offer on a home within 6 months of the first showing, I would have said absolutely not. Shandra is amazing.
 
Through the entire process of showings, of representing me in the buying process, in providing me names of professionals for inspections and repairs, and in guiding me through what otherwise could be a stressful process, Shandra was the most professional and kind person I could have associated with. She made the entire buying process stress free and enjoyable. Whenever I became nervous or concerned, she confidently assured me not to worry because she was in full control.
 
Even after I purchased the home and was hoping to lease it, she continued providing me help and guidance and was responsible for procuring a tenant for me. She did this for me out of kindness and was so helpful in choosing the right tenant. She has been there for me every step of the way.
 
I will absolutely use her again in any real estate transaction I do in the Santa Barbara/Montecito area. I will also refer her to any friends, patients, and family.
 
I can’t say enough about Shandra to do her justice for what she did for Casey and me.  I value her expertise, her passion for Montecito, her honesty, and her friendship. She represented your company with honor and pride and you are the most fortunate to have her on your team.
 
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude for Shandra Campbell.  She is one in a million.
 
Sincerely,
James D. Shuler, M.D.
