Shane King

Job Titles:
  • Realtor Associate
In 2012 I had the opportunity to relocate from Santa Barbara to the Santa Ynez Valley with my husband and our two daughters. We immediately fell in love with the community and knew that we had found our forever spot. I immersed myself into volunteer work for local non-profit organizations and found ways to give back and support the community whenever possible. After serving as President of the Santa Ynez Valley MOPS group for 3 years I was ready to begin focusing on my career. I joined The Santa Ynez Valley Real Estate Company Team as a licensed Realtor in July of 2018 and have successfully and consistently been representing Buyers and Sellers across Santa Barbara County ever since. I consider myself to be a natural negotiator and a professional communicator. One of my biggest goals is to make sure that the chaos of the real estate industry is never a burden or stress to my clients. I am proud to currently be serving as a Director of the Board for the Santa Ynez Valley Association of Realtors, Chair of the Northern Santa Barbara County MLS Committee, a member of the Santa Ynez Valley MLS Committee, and Chair of the Santa Ynez Valley Young Professionals Network. I pride myself on being an agent that my clients can count on before, during and after a transaction, because I'm more than just a Realtor, I'm your friend in the industry.
