As a Luxury Property Specialist with prestigious BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HomeServices – California Properties, Bryan serves discerning clientele in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Hope Ranch, Summerland, Carpinteria and Goleta. A third generation Santa Barbara native and with more than two decades of business experience, he excels in the vital areas of market knowledge, financing, negotiation and complex contracts.
Bryan’s background is truly impressive. It includes his many years as a Coldwell Banker Top 10 agent in both transactions and sales volume, and tenure as CEO of a thriving California Central Coast company and principal owner of another. He brings a wealth of significant real estate and construction expertise to the table as well. His extensive construction knowledge has been gained working with outstanding contractors and coordinating and overseeing all aspects of the building process – from basic remodeling, to major renovation and reconstruction projects.
Bryan attributes his success not only to his business acumen, but also to his focus on the client and to his no-drama transactions and respect from other real estate professionals. “One major advantage in this business,” he emphasizes, “Is having a good relationship with other agents.” His colleagues continually commend him for his work ethic and high level of professionalism.
“Real estate is something I’ve been interested in since I was a teen,” Bryan says. “My father was a piano tuner beloved in the community, and I would drive him around to all the beautiful residences in Montecito, Santa Barbara and Hope Ranch. I loved the varied architecture, types of homes and so on. And I love people. Bringing the two together was a natural outcome.”
Deeply committed to Santa Barbara, Bryan is also a devoted husband and father. His wife works in commercial real estate, and their two sons are successful in their own professions. His personal philosophy is manifest in his devotion to many non-profit organizations related to the heart, spirit, consciousness and being a better person overall. His mantra is “Changing the world, one person at a time.” Active and athletic, he enjoys yoga, running, skiing, hiking, sailing and other water sports.
We recommend without any reservation Bryan Uhrig. He is a "can do’ sort of guy. He is not restricted to his job description, always going the extra mile, doing whatever it takes to get the job done and very generous with his own time and finances. He also brings to the table years of experience in business, dealing with peers, associates and clients on a professional level.
He handles difficult people respectfully and with honor. He is calm and level headed in a crisis and bold when needed but never pushy. He is assertive but not aggressive. He is both charming, clever and innovative. He has a creative eye and offers extremely valuable advice from a creative perspective. He was the project manager, sort of a general contractor, for an extensive remodel on our home. The people he recommended were also reliable and good craftsmen. He was like a "mother hen" overseeing every detail. Bryan went above and beyond whatever we could have imagined or expected. He was loyal, honest, dependable, and diligent.
He is an excellent communicator. He kept us well informed at all times.
And even though we live 500 miles away, he brought us into every decision, giving us sound advice, pointing out all our options. We felt we were right there.
It’s surprising that for such a creative man he is also incredibly organized. He documents everything and will present to you a beautiful three ring binder of all the details of every transaction involved with the buying or selling of your home.
We feel so amazingly honored to have had someone like Bryan "on our side". We will miss his timely updates, his enthusiastic and cheery nature, and to top it off his sense of humor. He’s just a very likable guy who genuinely cares for his clients.
I know he sounds too good to be true but he is the "real article". A man of true integrity.

To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Bryan Uhrig
We recently completed the purchase of a home in Santa Barbara. This isn’t all that unusual. However we lived in Florida; we had a weekend in which to find a home; we had Bryan as our realtor. Therefore, this tale has a happy ending.
Bryan was exemplary. He responded to each and every one of our queries whether by telephone or email. He was always available to us. If he didn’t know the answer, he would go find the person with the answer or research it and inform us.
During our one weekend to find a home, Bryan had skillfully planned out a route to maximize our limited time and also insure that we looked at homes that we thought would be of interest, as well as homes that Bryan knew were similar and we should also view. We refined this list until the last moment by using the multiple listings that Bryan sent us in many emails. We couldn’t have seen as many places as we did without his attention to detail and meticulous planning.
Bryan has a wonderful personality. He knew when to interject during discussions and likewise knew when to walk away and let my wife and I carry on a private conversation. He's a master of all the roads in Santa Barbara. He provided us with a complete packet of all the places that we were to visit with times and critical info.
During the almost virtual closing (we were simultaneously selling in Florida) Bryan insured that everything was lined up for a smooth closing…..which is exactly what happened. From the initial inspection to final walk through, Bryan was there for us.
We can't recommend Bryan Uhrig highly enough to anyone who might be considering the purchase of a home in the Santa Barbara area. The highest accolade that we can give Bryan is that we would unhesitatingly use him again should we need a Santa Barbara realtor.
