global real estate agent Josh May January 24, 2026
Relocating to a new city, purchasing a second home, or planning a move out of state can be an exciting new chapter — and a complicated one. Every real estate market operates differently, from pricing strategies and local regulations to negotiation norms and timing.
One thing never changes: The agent you work with can make or break your experience.
As a Santa Barbara–based real estate professional, my role goes far beyond helping clients buy or sell locally. No matter where you’re headed; across California, across the country, or across the world; I’m here to ensure you’re supported by the right expert, every step of the way.
A great real estate agent doesn’t just show properties. They advocate for you, protect your interests, and guide you through decisions that have long-term financial and lifestyle impacts.
The right agent understands:
Local market trends and pricing strategies
Neighborhood nuances and long-term value
How to negotiate effectively in their specific market
How to guide buyers and sellers through complex transactions with clarity and confidence
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, a luxury home purchaser, or an investor, having the right professional on your side is essential.
Through Keller Williams Realty, I have access to one of the largest real estate networks in the world, with over 200,000 agents across the U.S. and internationally.
But access alone isn’t what sets this apart.
Throughout the year, I actively connect with top agents around the world to build real, working relationships. I take the time to get to know how they operate, what they specialize in, and who they serve best. These aren’t cold referrals or name-only introductions, they are professionals I know, trust, and confidently recommend.
Some agents specialize in:
Luxury and high-net-worth clients
Relocation and out-of-area buyers
First-time homebuyers
Investment and income properties
New construction or complex transactions
Because of these ongoing relationships, I can match each client with an agent who fits their specific goals, communication style, and needs.
When you reach out to me, we start with a conversation.
We’ll talk about:
Where you’re going and why
Your timeline, priorities, and concerns
What a successful move looks like for you
From there, I personally connect you with a trusted agent who specializes in your destination market and stays aligned with your goals. I remain involved throughout the process to ensure clear communication, accountability, and a smooth experience from start to finish.
You’re not being passed off, you’re being strategically placed with someone who is the right fit.
Whether you’re moving within Santa Barbara County, relocating elsewhere in California, or buying or selling property out of state or internationally, you’ll have a single point of contact who understands your full picture.
My goal is simple:
To make sure you feel informed, supported, and confident, no matter where life takes you.
Real estate decisions are deeply personal, and they deserve thoughtful guidance and the right team behind them.
If you’re planning a move, considering a second home, or simply exploring your options, I’d be honored to be a resource for you.
Even if your move is months or years away, the right planning and connections make all the difference.
Reach out any time to start the conversation.
Wherever you’re going, you don’t have to navigate it alone — I’m here to help you find the right place, with the right people, at the right time.
Stay up to date on the latest real estate trends.
