The real estate team of Calcagno & Hamilton has opened a new office on Coast Village Road in Montecito. Working under the brokerage umbrella of Village Properties, the eight-person office, including Michael Calcagno and Nancy Hamilton, serves Santa Barbara and Montecito.
The full-service office also hosts Considerate Done, a concierge service that gives information and references on local, real estate-related businesses. In 2014, the Calcagno & Hamilton team closed over $100 million in sales and continually ranks in the top 1 percent of agents worldwide.
The Calcagno & Hamilton team’s 1,260-square foot office is situated in Plaza Montecito, the former site of Turk Hessellund Nursery.
Designed by architect Brian Cearnal, the multi-use Spanish colonial style building houses two condominiums, The Honor Bar restaurant, and other retail residents.
Plaza Montecito, which is less than a year old, received the Santa Barbara Beautiful Commercial Property Award earlier this month.
Hamilton is responsible for the interior’s welcoming feel and living room-like appeal. The displayed art is from the Santa Monica-based Peter Fetterman Gallery, which specializes in the finest original photography.
“Our space is about connecting community. I wanted it to feel like a home,” said Hamilton, who has purchased and remodeled 25 homes in the Santa Barbara area. “There’s nothing more rewarding than helping people enjoy buying a home. There’s a special excitement in helping people that way.”
