Loretta Barbar

As a lifelong resident of Ventura, I've always been curious about how people discover our beautiful community and choose to make it their home. Ventura used to be a well-kept secret, but in recent years, it has gained popularity, and I consider myself lucky to have grown up here. It was the best decision my dad made to move our family here when I was just three years old.
After completing my college education at UC Santa Barbara, located right on the beach up the coast, I ventured off to Arizona and began a career in lending. However, the pull of my hometown was strong, and I seized the opportunity to return just before starting my own family.
For the past couple of decades, I am proud to call Ventura my home. I have been an active member of the community, raising three amazing kids who attended our local public school system, participated in multiple sports, and then flew the nest to college.
In 2015, I embarked on a new journey in real estate, joining an incredible locally owned boutique agency led by a smart, female broker who was recognized as BROKER of the Year in 2020. I have since grown my business from my sphere of influence and sought to work "By Referral Only," leveraging the marketing network I am a part of. I am grateful for the relationships formed as a trusted advisor for my clients.
Apart from real estate, one of the passions that fuels me is marathon running. I have completed several marathons, including the six world marathon majors, with Tokyo, Japan being one of them. What started as a bucket list item turned into an incredible journey that has taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, determination, and a competitive nature that I bring into my real estate career. Just like in marathon running, in real estate, speed and strength are essential, but so is having a solid plan in place. I am driven by results and getting my clients to the finish line, always with a smile.
As a full-time, active real estate agent in Ventura County, I am deeply rooted in the community and have ample resources at my disposal to assist my clients. I work alongside a fantastic team, including title/escrow professionals, home inspectors, transaction coordinators, handymen, and stagers, among others. My reputation in the local realtor community is well known and respected, and I am committed to providing the best service to my clients. With a tireless work ethic, I pound the pavement to ensure my clients are well-prepared and ready to navigate the competitive market. Living and working in Ventura, I am dedicated to helping others discover the joy of calling this beautiful community their home.
