Hi, welcome to my website. I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, where my family arrived in the early 1900s, and it’s been my pleasure to help so many of our community members buy and sell real estate here for over 20 years. I was honored to be named Santa Barbara’s Best Real Estate Agent by The Independent two years in a row, and twice named Best Realtor in the News-Press Reader’s Choice Awards. Today I practice with Keller Williams in Santa Barbara and Montecito, where I focus on creative problem solving and personal attention to every client.
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”)
After earning my BA in Business Economics from UCSB, I never really stopped learning. I stay current on market trends, strategic marketing, contract changes, and negotiation, because that’s what puts my clients in a better position. I enjoy attending industry seminars as both a teacher and a student.
I don’t take every listing that comes my way. I’d rather give each one my full time, marketing budget, and attention. I’m a problem solver, and I like to stay with my clients start to finish. When issues come up, we work through them together.
Every property I represent receives a marketing plan built specifically for it, so your home reaches buyers and gets the attention it deserves.
