About Sue Irwin
With over 22 years experience as a full-time Realtor and 35+ years living in the greater Santa Barbara community, it’s always a joy to bring my local knowledge, enthusiasm, and market expertise to work for my clients. I am responsive and dedicated, and have achieved Berkshire Hathaway’s “Legend” status by consistently performing in the top 1 to 2 percent of the company’s 50,000+ agents worldwide for 7 consecutive years. By pooling our energies and complementary areas of expertise, Kit and I bring an ever-increasing professionalism and enthusiastic atmosphere to our clients’ real estate experience.
I make the most of living in this very special corner of California and sharing it with friends and family. Great restaurants, fantastic local events, the ocean, Channel Islands, beautiful uncrowded beaches, lively pickleball courts and mountain trails – what’s not to like? It’s a joy to work in the real estate industry helping Sellers and Buyers in our amazing community!

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.
