Hi, welcome to my website. I lead the luxury real estate team at Keller Williams Luxury Homes International of Santa Barbara & Montecito. I enjoy working with people, problem solving, thinking creatively, and spending time with my clients to get the results they desire. I was honored to be named Santa Barbara’s Best Real Estate Agent for the 2nd year in a row by The Independent, twice named Santa Barbara’s Best Realtor by the Santa Barbara NewsPress Reader’s Choice Awards, endorsed by LuxuryHomes, listed on the Who’s Who of Luxury Real Estate, and featured in a number of publications such as Inman Global Real Estate News, the Montecito Journal, and The Montecito Magazine who recently published a feature article about my family titled “A Passion for Business Innovation”. On this site you will also find information about my real estate career, real estate services, and the latest news on the Santa Barbara real estate and Montecito real estate markets. Scroll to the bottom of the page for my contact information or stop by my office at 1511 Chapala St. Santa Barbara, CA 93101. I look forward to helping you.
I work hard to keep my clients ahead of the industry by attending or speaking at conferences on real estate, investing, business, and negotiation. I graduated from the Business Economics program at UCSB and during my career I have had the opportunity to learn from or speak along side some of the world’s leading business people, real estate investors, and financial advisers.
“I love our community, and I am very grateful for the generations of support my family has received since my great-grandfather arrived in the early 1900s,” said Louise McKaig. Considering she has been voted best real estate agent three times now, it seems the community loves McKaig, too. Perhaps that’s because she is devoted to making sure the people she works with are happy. “The most important thing to me is ensuring that my clients receive the best service, the best marketing, the best possible price, and know that they have someone that listens to them.” (The Santa Barbara Independent.com “Best Real Estate Agent Award”)
I spend my money and time learning things that actually benefit my clients such as market trends, strategic marketing, contract changes, and negotiating. I have studied negotiation with George Ross (NBC’s The Apprentice), Robert Kiyosaki (investor & author of Rich Dad Poor Dad), and attend seminars as both teacher and student to help stay ahead of the latest trends and strategies.
Rather than taking on every listing that comes my way and hoping half of them sell, I dedicate my time, marketing budget, and resources to helping each one of my listings sell. I am a problem solver, I stand with you until the end and if issues arise I work with you to solve them. My team and I work hard to ensure that when you list your property with me it sells.
I offer the most extensive and effective real estate marketing available in the Santa Barbara real estate industry and we have the numbers to prove it. I have worked with the top real estate companies and networks in the industry and have analyzed what works and what doesn’t. I have brought on a professional marketing team whose entire job is to make sure your listing stands above the competition.
