Meet Todd

Get to know me. Then let's talk houses.

Selling in Santa Barbara since 2017. Coaching volleyball on the side the whole way. Rounds and rounds of golf. Two decades with Melissa, a Goleta local. Talking houses comes up eventually.

The approach

You'll always know where things stand, what happens next, and why. No detail too small to chase down, no question too basic to ask.

With a background in general contracting and marketing, Todd pairs real, hands-on property knowledge with a sharp eye for design and a modern approach to the business.

His deep roots in the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors — where he served as 2023 President and remains a board member — make him one of the most connected agents on the Central Coast. That translates directly into smoother negotiations and wider exposure for every listing.

The work

Two steps ahead

Built around visibility

Social media, digital marketing, and AI-driven tools — moving faster and reaching further than the traditional playbook allows.

Fast, direct communication

A partner who's always thinking two steps ahead, not catching up.

Serious backing

The full weight of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties behind every transaction.

The mark

The Shea Salt Seal

Golden hour stripes moving over a shore break wave, stamped like a closed deal. Santa Barbara distilled into a symbol — and a quiet nod to a career built on 100+ closings and a former SBAOR presidency.

Off the clock

Todd and Melissa Shea

Home

Married to the area

Two decades with Melissa — a Goleta local, and the best thing that ever happened. She works as hard as anyone he knows, and she's the reason it all balances.

Two kids who came up through our local schools. The roots here aren't a marketing angle — they're the reason the local knowledge is real.

Since 2020

The power of brotherly love

Every quarter Todd and his brother Devin sit down for what they call the Brothers Meeting — business, family, goals, the honest version. Four weekends a year that shape the other forty-eight.
