About Crysta

Within 20 minutes of her first visit to Santa Barbara years ago, real estate agent Crysta Metzger knew this was the place she wanted to live and raise a family. Crysta is a Santa Barbara homeowner and true lover of the area – she knows each neighborhood in town for its style of residential architecture, unique layout, schools, and amazing array of kids’ activities and destinations. Top-performing and award-winning, Crysta has been affiliated with the Montecito office of Coldwell Banker Realty since 2003. She serves buyers, sellers, and investors in Montecito, Hope Ranch, and Santa Barbara with unsurpassed local market knowledge. Crysta began her real estate career in Santa Barbara’s luxury leasing market. She spent years working tirelessly in this niche, honing her robust negotiation skills and mastery of complex legal contracts. Crysta also built an expansive network of trusted service providers and became adept at advocating for the needs of her clients. Those years empowered Crysta with an established reputation in her community and a keen market awareness that sets her apart from her peers. Crysta has received many local, regional, and national top sales awards and consistently places in the top 10% within the Santa Barbara MLS. Though she values these accolades, the real honors come directly from Crysta’s clients. Santa Barbara is a very private market, and the greatest reward is when a client refers Crysta to family or friends. Many clients have reviewed Crysta and commented on her honesty, helpfulness, experience, and dedication. She is truly genuine – Crysta doesn’t focus on maintaining a personal image but on providing service with the utmost integrity and highest standards. With her contractor husband and two daughters, Crysta is a family-oriented person who really enjoys working with clients relocating to the area. She understands the magnitude of that decision and likes introducing them to the small but incredibly diverse environment of the region. She finds the best fit for her clients, and they appreciate Crysta’s ability to translate their passions and interests into the right community. If your real estate dreams include living in Santa Barbara or the surrounding area, contact Crysta Metzger. No one knows this beautiful seaside community better!

Simplifying

Crysta has a very direct “bed-side manner”, straight forward, “say it like it is”, no frills, no beating around the bush, no sales kinda gal. It came first as a surprise but was very welcome to the alternative of being sold anything we walked into. She gave honest opinions in addition to helpful market knowledge and experience over time. All of these things helped us feel comfortable following her suggestions from how much to bid to when to walk away and much more. She remained accessible though our search was intense and constant. It’s hard to stick with clients through so many houses and so many bids. She also gave us room to explore ourselves. One of the best things is all her recommendations for after we purchased the house. But through the experience she really got all the papers done in a wink of time, and constantly reassured us through the process as it can get overwhelming as the buyer. She also followed us when I think it was best to do so when we wanted to ask for a significant price reduction. I can imagine other agents not wanting to present that to a buyer but she did it all. I highly recommend her.

Earnest, Insightful, & Perfect for Families

Crysta is earnest, dedicated, and connected. She was very informed on opportunities in the region, well-ahead of others, and was able to bring us to examine several off-market opportunities or listings (including our now home) before these were on the market. In addition, Crysta excelled at understanding and the anticipating needs of our growing family, with young children and parents who work from home. Her ability to relate with others and easy-going (but pointed) manner was an asset in many conversations. She was also a lot of fun. I would highly recommend meeting with Crysta and partnering with her in your searches.

Crysta is an incredible agent!

Crysta is one of the most dedicated, honest, and hard working agents I know. Recently we have worked together on a half dozen transactions and has done an amazing job for me and our mutual clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped prepare this property for sale by bringing in her vendors including repairmen, replaced all the aging shag carpet, staged the home, photographed and listed, and showed the home continuously. This resulted in about $1M in extra proceeds to my client. She also went above and beyond to help them locate and lease their next home.

Excellent and Professional

Crysta was very professional and focused, finding us our home in Santa Barbara.

We were referred to Crysta by one our daughters whom Crysta help find a home in Montecito. With Crysta's professional advice we were able to purchase a home we wanted at a price we could afford. Before moving in the home needed new floors and interior painting. Crysta was excellent helping us find good contractors that charged reasonable prices. Help coordinating turn on of utilities was also much appreciated. We highly recommend her services.
