Josh Ramirez is an Estate Agent in Santa Barbara/Montecito and the founder of "The Network," a group of luxury real estate agents from Aspen, Hamptons, New York, San Francisco, Miami, and beyond. Josh was hand selected by AKG/Christie's International to be the first and sole agent in the Santa Barbara & Montecito area. His local insight, international experience, and cutting-edge marketing have propelled him to the forefront of the Lux Real Estate industry. Josh transitioned to the real estate industry following a successful career in marketing and technology. After growing up in Santa Barbara, Josh spread his globe-trotting wings, like all good locals, and spent several years in the tech industry in Sydney, Australia. Upon his return from Australia, Josh continued in the tech and marketing world for almost a decade. As a director at a publicly-traded technology company, Josh had the privilege of being the keynote speaker at a conference in Manhattan, New York City, and working with brands such as Sugarfina, Avon, Ulta Beauty, Road Runner Sports, and many more. In 2016, Josh co-founded a creative marketing agency (Princeton North) that has worked with a number of local and international businesses. When Josh isn't selling slices of the Spanish seaside town of Santa Barbara, you'll find him enjoying time with his South African bride and two sons.
