About Us

Luke Ebbin is a recognized leader in luxury residential real estate in the exclusive areas of Montecito, Santa Barbara, Ojai, and Carpinteria. His expertise in market trends, negotiation, architecture, construction, strategic investments, design, and renovation projects, provides his clients with invaluable insight and a distinct advantage in the achievement of their luxury real estate objectives.

Luke’s interest in real estate began while working full-time in the music business and renovating properties as a secondary creative outlet in Los Angeles and Montecito, CA. Friends and colleagues began turning to him to represent them in their real estate transactions after seeing the success of his projects. With a rapidly growing business, the former five-time Grammy-nominated record producer and songwriter made the decision to devote himself to real estate full-time. Since then, Luke has represented some of the finest estates in Montecito and Santa Barbara and has been the number one Compass agent on the entire Central Coast of California with sales exceeding $333M since mid-2020. Additionally, Luke has the distinction of representing the highest-priced sale in Montecito history.

Luke resides in Montecito with his wife, three teenage boys, a feisty rescue black lab, and four chickens. He enjoys boxing, watching his teenage sons excel in polo, football, and the fine arts, and taking advantage of all that Montecito and Santa Barbara have to offer; from hiking in the foothills to spending the day at the beach. Devoted to community service and charitable causes, Luke has served as Vice Chairman of the National Board of Directors of The Dream Foundation, the Advisory Board of Notes for Notes, and as a member of the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors® Grievance Committee. Luke also founded and leads The Montecito Realtor® Association, an organization comprised of the top 35 Montecito Realtors® initially formed to help the community rebuild after the Thomas Fire and resulting debris flow.
