Romelus Riegert

Santa Barbara,CA

Summary

Born and raised in Santa Barbara I have a special connection and knowledge of this town more then most people do.

I grew up fishing and boating out of the harbor since I could walk. I have always loved a balance of sea and sand.

My Mother was a real estate agent my whole life so I have always been in sales.

I am of the age where I do not want to be breaking my back anymore. I can renew my realestate license if needed for the right job.

My goal is to get back into sales where I believe I can help others and be happy again.
