Marsha is a top-selling real estate agent with a reputation for integrity, discretion, and keen negotiating skills, making her one of the most respected names in luxury real estate. With over 23 years of selling local luxury real estate, her extensive knowledge, network, and meticulous attention to detail have resulted in a long list of repeat clients.

Combining her passion for architecture and a strong intuition, Marsha honors her role as a client advocate above all else. She delivers strategic advice and skilled negotiation to ensure clients get what they want, whether it is a premium price for the property they are selling or the most advantageous terms on the home they are buying.
"I am most inspired when I connect my client with the ideal property - seeing their happiness daily reminds me why I do what I do."
Originally born in St. Petersburg, Russia, at age 6 Marsha immigrated with her family to the US and within a year was fortunate to move to Santa Barbara, instantly falling in love with the area's natural beauty and splendor. Being a Russian Jewish immigrant has always influenced Marsha's tenacity and strong work ethic. Fluent in Russian, Marsha is able to assist as well as understand the needs of international clientele.
When she's not immersed in work or with family, Marsha balances her time with a passion for design, architecture, skiing, hiking, and live music. Possessing a generous charitable side, she fervently believes in giving back to the community she has called home for over 34 years.
