About Kit Peterson

Kit Peterson

I’ve been incredibly lucky to live in beautiful Santa Barbara for over 30 years. My love and extensive knowledge of the area, together with a total commitment to my clients, has culminated in receiving Berkshire Hathaway’s Top Sales Agent in Santa Barbara distinction for 2021 and achieving the company’s highest recognition level of “Chairman’s Circle Diamond” —the top 1⁄2 of 1% of more than 50,000 agents worldwide. My career track began in multi-channel marketing, web design, e-commerce and business management. As a side hobby I bought, sold, built and remodeled homes in Santa Barbara. Ultimately, being in and around real estate proved to be my true passion. Together with my husband Eric, a Santa Barbara native and former County Fire Chief, we have 15-year-old twins. Raising children in this community has given me a deeper understanding of our local school districts and has broadened my knowledge of the many unique characteristics of individual neighborhoods. When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me at the beach either playing volleyball with friends, body surfing with my kids, walking our dogs, or out in the channel boating with my husband.

My business partner Sue Irwin and I are both sincere, loyal and detail oriented. Our reputations are built on trust, hard work, enthusiasm and positive, lasting relationships with our clients. We make a great team, creating a successful experience of these critically important transactions.

A Personal Update to Our Business –

After six wonderful years as the Kit and Sue real estate team, we wanted to share a heartfelt update as we head into the new year. Beginning in January 2026,  Sue will be shifting into a role that offers her more flexibility, and Kit will be joining the dynamic Easter Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties to continue growing her business. Although our branding will look a little different, we’ll still be working together —bringing our shared energy, experience, and care to every client we serve.

What matters most to us is that you continue to feel supported.  Just as before, we are both just a phone call or email away for questions, guidance, or real estate needs you may have.

We are truly grateful for your trust over the years. Thank you for being a valued part of our journey.Wishing you a Happy New Year—we look forward to staying in touch and continuing to assist you in the years ahead.
