Deja Rabb
Cal-DRE# 02074885
Deja Rabb comes to Village Properties with over 5 years of experience in the real estate industry. With a background in interior design, her natural eye and attention to detail are what she brings to every transaction.
Why Deja got Started
Deja’s love for spaces and her ability to highlight the unique (or even the odd!) and turn it into something functional and desirable was the impetus for her transition into real estate. Being a recent home buyer herself, she attended countless open houses. She realized that many of these homes, with just some thought and focus on details could have been seen as really exciting properties to more buyers.
Spencer Cole
Cal-DRE# 02074888
I am a dedicated real estate professional with degrees in Economics and Business Administration. I use my education to provide reliable advice and support to clients throughout the home buying/selling process. My thorough knowledge of the housing market inventory in Santa Barbara and strong relationships with the majority of the agents in the area give me an edge in helping my clients find the best property for their needs. Furthermore, I am an active volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and its home restoration projects.
I began my career in real estate as an unpaid intern for Ruth Ann Bowe, a successful Village Properties REALTOR® with over 20 years of experience. My dedication to learning and meticulous approach to tasks helped me become a professional partner with Ruth Ann. As a licensed Real Estate Salesperson, I prioritize my client’s needs and ensure their satisfaction. I make sure to listen carefully to their wants and needs. I enjoy solving problems for my clients and sharing with them the beauty of Santa Barbara.
Mackenzie Bennetts
Mackenzie “Kiki” Bennetts is a recent graduate of Santa Barbara City College. Originally from Loomis, a small town near Sacramento, she chose SBCC for a program that ended up being cancelled her first semester and realized her love of real estate (and at that point Santa Barbara) was her best option. She will be sitting for her licensing exam soon. She is super excited to be part of the team and is currently assisting with marketing and social media.
