She has successfully navigated the intricate residential and income property real estate markets for over 25 years, and together with Michael Calcagno and their team closes $100+ million year after year. Growing up on the Mississippi Delta, Nancy attended college in Virginia before attending law school and working for Morgan Stanley in their legal compliance office. Today she uses her legal and business background to guide her clients smoothly through complex negotiations and is dedicated to helping her clients accomplish their real estate goals. She has built a reputation for superior client service, integrity, and the highest level of client representation.
Nancy’s real estate career began in 1992 when she purchased her first property in Santa Barbara, which she transformed to match her vision and then sold it to someone who loved it just as much as she did. She has personally bought, remodeled, and sold over two dozen homes in the Santa Barbara area, providing her unique insights into accessing the market value of a home. Her genuine enthusiasm and dedication to quality work help her win clients and build long-lasting relationships. As a result, many of her clients come by referral from family, friends, and satisfied past clients.
While the South is in her soul, Santa Barbara has captured her heart, in part because she raised her own family here. After moving to the area, she met her husband Michael, a Santa Barbara native, while playing volleyball on East Beach. After they married, they started a family that includes their three daughters, Austin, Jordan, and Madison. While raising her daughters, Nancy was active in the PTA and coached her daughters’ basketball and soccer teams while remaining in the top 1% of Santa Barbara real estate agents every year. She attributes her success to her family’s support as well as her vision, discipline, and enthusiasm.
In addition to helping sellers list their homes, Nancy enjoys welcoming buyers into the Santa Barbara community and helps her clients become familiar with the area so they can immediately feel at home. Testimonials from her clients attribute their positive real estate experience to her professionalism, experience, persistence, and knowledge of the local market. However, they say, more importantly, Nancy listens to their needs and works to accomplish their real estate goals.
When she’s not tending to her clients, Nancy enjoys spending time with her family, as well as playing tennis and hiking the Santa Barbara trails. There isn’t a day that Nancy isn’t grateful that she gets to do what she loves and live with her husband in Santa Barbara. Her reputation for unsurpassed service, community insights, and limitless hospitality make her the right agent to help you find your next home.
