THE AMERICAN DREAM: PASCALE BASSANcame to Santa Barbara in 1981 with the American Dream in mind-to start a life for her and her children and to purchase her first home. Pascale did just that and more. She became a specialist on Santa Barbara by helping others find their Dream Home or sell their property. She is a Real Estate professional who has earned her marks by going the extra mile; welcoming others into Santa Barbara and making people feel at ease during one of the most important decisions in their lives.
PASCALE´S LIFE IS QUITE UNIQUE:growing up in Nancy, France, her background is unmistakably French, as is her accent. She always had one dream-to find her oasis. But before traveling around the world in search of it, she earned her Bachelor´s and Master´s Degrees in History and Geography and began teaching high school. Her zest for adventure and accomplishment is evident in everything she does in life. At age 22, on her own, she embarked on a "round the world" adventure, exploring such countries as Indonesia, Japan and many other Asian countries, Europe and North America. In 1978, Pascale visited the United States and immediately made it her new home. Pascale is the proud mother of two wonderful sons, Jeremy and Julien, born and raised in Santa Barbara. After travelling around the world with them, she is back travelling on her own, enjoying discovering new countries. Pascale delights her friends and clients with her creative world wide cuisine. She also relishes quiet times, meditating, tending to her garden, reading or making beautiful jewelry. An avid athlete, Pascale enjoys hiking in the serenite Santa Barbara foothills, walking along the beach, practicing yoga, kayaking and skiing.
FASCINATED BY THE OMNIPRESENCE OF ART IN JAPAN,Pascale started her own business in Los Angeles importing fine Japanese antiques. Desiring a better quality of life, she relocated her business to Santa Barbara in 1981. After operating it for several years, Pascale was ready for a new challenge and decided to enter the real estate field in 1990. Since then, her excellent skills, business knowledge and personality have taken her straight to the top. "For the first time in my life, I finally gave myself credit for being successful" she says. "I truly enjoy helping my clients reach their goals. It gives me great satisfaction to have been instrumental in making their dream come true."
MOVING FROM FRANCE TO THE UNITED STATESand traveling to unknown countries, Pascale understands what it´s like to be in transition. She can relate to the uncertainty people experience when making a major change in their life, such as relocating to a new city, state or country. "Being in transition isn´t easy which is why I am here to make your move, whether it´s to or from Santa Barbara, go as smooth as possible," she says. "I want my clients to know I will help them every step of the way." Pascale has a knack for dealing with every type of personality and cultural background. She speaks fluent French, English and Italian and knows several other languages, enabling her to communicate with people from all over the world. When it comes to find the ideal home to fit your personal and financial needs, Pascale easily matches you with the perfect one!
HELPING OTHERS IS HIGH ON PASCALE´S LIST OF PRIORITIES. She is always giving of her time to her children´s activities, women´s and children organizations as well as every worthy cause that comes her way. She also donates a portion of every commission she earns to Direct Relief International, the Christmas Unity Fund and she regularly contributes to other charities. In Real Estate, she continues to give the best possible services, complete honesty, confidentiality and business expertise. She will take you through the entire selling and buying process, patiently explaining all the details until you feel completely comfortable with the transaction. She is a goal setter, so when she sets her mind to do something, like finding you a home or selling the one you own, she achieves it efficiently no matter what the obstacles are. Living in a place that is as close as one can get to paradise. This describes breathtaking Santa Barbara-beautiful rolling hills, crystal blue oceans, and people who are just as warm as the California sun!
