Monterey Bay Homes for Sale 
 I’m Barbara Pearson

Your Monterey Bay Realtor®

BROKER ASSOCIATE | Abr | Sres | Green

Whether buying or selling, you deserve a trusted advisor who truly understands the real estate journey and is committed to guiding you every step of the way. Your home is more than just a place - it’s where your life unfolds, memories are created. Most importantly, it’s an asset for building wealth and ensuring long-term financial security.

With over a decade of experience as a Realtor® and Trusted Advisor, I have built my business on a foundation of trust, expertise, and strong relationships. Born and raised in Rome, Italy, I fell in love with the beauty and lifestyle of Monterey Bay over 13 years ago, and it has been home ever since. My background in advertising and client services in Los Angeles taught me the art of managing high-stakes transactions, but I find real estate far more fulfilling. I love being able to help families and individuals as they make one of the most significant financial and emotional decisions of their lives.

My business is built almost entirely on referrals, and I take great pride in building lasting relationships with my clients. I see buying or selling a home as more than just a transaction; it’s a journey, much like setting sail on open waters. The winds may shift, and uncharted currents may arise, but with a skilled navigator by your side, you can adjust course with confidence and stay on track toward your destination. With my steady guidance, strategic expertise, and deep market knowledge, I help my clients sail smoothly through our local real estate market, ensuring they reach their goal with peace of mind.

Beyond real estate, my love for the Monterey Bay community runs deep. I am actively involved with Hospice of Santa Cruz County and AAUW (American Association of University Women), two organizations close to my heart. I also love traveling, reading, crocheting, cooking, and soaking in the beauty of Monterey Bay, whether it’s a morning walk along the beach or through the Forest of Nisene Marks, a paddleboarding session, or sipping on an espresso macchiato at one of my favorite local spots, Verve. I’m married with two grown children and I’m also a proud dog mom to Cooper, an 8-year-old Black Lab mix who joins me on many of my local adventures.

If you're ready to set sail on your real estate journey, let's connect! Whether you're buying or selling, let’s chart your course and set sail on your real estate journey together.

Referrals are the wind in my sails.

I’m grateful for the trust my clients have placed in me, not only to guide them through their own homeownership journeys, but to serve their family and friends as well. Like the wind that carries sailboats along the bay, referrals are what keep me going in this business that I love dearly. I am committed to serving you and your referrals with the highest level of care.

Every journey is unique. Work with an expert you trust.
