Gary grew up in New England and following college at the University of Massachusetts entered corporate sales working in the fast paced world of high technology. His work gave him the opportunity to see much of America and to appreciate the incredible beauty and breadth of diversity our country has to offer. In 1998 after years of relocations and career moves, he and his family made the decision to call Santa Barbara home. It was a match made in heaven as they have embraced the Santa Barbara lifestyle, culture, ambience and all that our lovely community has to offer.

Whether you are new to Santa Barbara or have lived here your entire life, finding just that right place to call your home is so important. And whether you are experienced in selling your home or buying one for the first time, partnering with the right Realtor, one that understands your wants and needs, is essential. Gary Welterlen delivers professional customer service personally to all his real estate clients. He understands the value of careful listening and thoughtful responses. As your agent he will go the extra mile to ensure your questions are answered, your concerns are addressed, and your needs are met.
