Relocating to Vandenberg Village

If you're moving here from out of the area, here's what to know first. Vandenberg Village isn't a city. It's an unincorporated community in Santa Barbara County, directly north of Lompoc, among rolling hills and oak trees. A map makes it look like part of Lompoc, so it's worth seeing both in person.

It also has distinct pockets. Village Country Club sits around The Mission Club golf course. Providence Landing is a master-planned community with newer-style homes and an HOA. One more name to watch: Country Club Village is a different neighborhood, in Santa Maria.

Plan a tour day that covers these and Lompoc itself, so you can feel the difference. I'd like to walk the serious contenders as a licensed contractor, even if you're still out of state. See more about Vandenberg Village.

I make your trips count. With the right prep, most relocating buyers can narrow things down in a couple of weekend visits, spent on houses instead of guessing.

I'm your eyes when you can't be here. Video walk-throughs and honest opinions, including what the photos don't show.

A contractor's look from a distance. I'm a licensed general contractor. On any house you're serious about, I look at the roof, foundation, plumbing, and electrical, so you aren't buying blind. That never replaces a professional inspection, and I always recommend one.

Ready before you visit. I'll connect you with lenders I trust, and you choose. See how getting ready works.

A search that finds you first. Once we know what you want, your search is set to your criteria and new matches come to you right away, wherever you are. When something good comes up, we can do a video walk-through the same day, so you don't lose a home because you live in another state.

Honest answers about the trade-offs. Every town here gives you something and asks something back: a longer drive, an older house, a smaller yard, a higher price. I'd rather tell you that on the phone than have you find out after you move.
