Emily McBride - Catalyst Press

Emily McBride graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2003 with a degree in Business Economics and Accounting, but she started her real estate career locally in 2001. She currently has nine years of real estate experience, including real estate finance, real estate development, consulting, residential sales, and also commercial and residential income sales. Her goal is to be of service to her clients and an inspiration to those she works with, and to be inspired by them in return.

Emily fell in love with the community of Santa Barbara and Montecito and has never wanted to leave, although she did spend part of 2008 working on a real estate development in New York City for the W Hotel. She enjoyed this project, yet it made her appreciate Santa Barbara and the lifestyle it offers even more.

Emily is also an artist specializing in oil paintings, and she loves to learn new things and explore. She is a traveler when possible, she enjoys writing, snowboarding, surfing, doing yoga, and hiking in the Santa Barbara mountains.
