About James Sanchez

Real estate is in James Sanchez’s blood. With a long family history of real estate in Santa Barbara, it’s no surprise that James finds himself introducing people to the beautiful neighborhoods throughout Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, Montecito, Ojai, and Ventura. 

After ten years of working for a local transportation company, James decided it was time to return to his roots and become a real estate agent. He joined Village Properties in 2017 and has since cultivated a community around him that helps create success stories for his clients.

James brings a team mentality to each client interaction. He savors the entire process, from chatting with people who had no idea they could become a homeowner, to guiding them through the process, and finally giving them the keys to their dream house. But it doesn’t stop there. James is dedicated to creating lasting relationships, and he cares about his community as both clients and friends.

Born and raised in Santa Barbara, James Sanchez lives on the Westside with his wife Natalie and their two children. When he’s not at the office, James can be found enjoying the outdoors. He regularly bikes and hikes the stunning local trails, and he always enjoys a trip to the beach. 

James works out of his office in the heart of the Funk Zone. It’s a space he’s proud to have cultivated — a place for young entrepreneurs to grow, and a place to involve the community. To showcase his love of art, he wants to display pieces by local artists on the gallery walls, and his door is always open to new clients. Hopefully, he’ll see you there soon!
