Kat Hitchcock interviews Nick Jacobson the General Manager of Movegreen
Kat: Movegreen has been established for 9 years? I’m surprised it has been that long, it feels like such a young company.
Nick: Yes, young, but it grew pretty quick - it’s grown 23% each year.
Kat: That’s amazing! I know Movegreen helps a lot with Junior League of Santa Barbara’s Rummage Event every year. You do so much with keeping our rummage items stored and then all the man power the weekend of the event. Does Movegreen do any other non-profit work?
Nick: Yes- Teacher’s fund is a big one
Kat: Nice! I know that golf tournament is a big event every year.
Nick: So that's the biggest one…we also do tree’s for humanity - so for every move we partner with a company that will plant ten trees.
Kat: That’s amazing! Is there a specific place they plant them?
Nick: They are mostly third world locations.
Kat: Very cool!
So my next question will be good for our clients, what’s the best tip you could give someone who is going to be moving?
Nick: Organization, planning ahead, and to relax!
Kat: I know we just got done working together on one of my Montecito listings. If I remember correctly your process is first come to the home and go over everything that needs to be moved. Then from there you break it down by time, labor and materials?
Nick: Yep, that's how we do it.
Kat: So how many guys are on a job for, let’s say… a 1,500 square foot house?
Nick: About 3.
Kat: Is it all day pack and move? Or….
Nick: So a 1,500 square foot house pack and move would take 3 guys and 10-12 hours over 2 days. Pack one day, move the next day.
Kat: So what would be the average cost?
Nick: $68 per man/per hour. So around $2,000.
Kat: Not that bad for not having to move yourself!
Nick: I would never move myself again-it’s horrible.
Kat: I totally agree! Before I married my husband I moved every year for 6 years straight here in Santa Barbara. Its absolutely exhausting trying to move by yourself.
Do you have any other moving locations other than Santa Barbara?
Nick: We are in Ventura too!
Kat: No way, that’s huge! I feel like Ventura is a good market to be in.
Nick: Absolutely.
Next question is Kylie’s (assistant) question what do you love most about your job?
Nick: The location is amazing. I love living in Santa Barbara and our employees are great- the guys we work with make it fun.
Kat: Everyone from Movegreen that helped with the Junior League of Santa Barbara Rummage event were such great guys to work with and sweet to give us their time.
Nick: We are pretty picky about the guys we hire so they make it fun - and then I love dealing with the customers too.
Kat: That’s awesome. Well thank you for meeting with me!
For any of our clients you will receive 10% off your move with MoveGreen services when you mention Ralston and Hitchcock!!!

Proud to have represented the buyers of this spacious 1,482 sq ft newly built in 2015 Rancho Estates home. Located close to butterfly preserve, Ellwood School, UCSB, Ellwood Bluffs and Camino Real Shopping center!
Happy Friday everyone,
We're just finishing up our work week here at Berkshire Hathaway in Montecito. Last week we talked about Carpinteria and it's real estate market and this week we want to introduce you to the exclusive neighborhood, Hope Ranch. Hope Ranch is directly adjacent to Santa Barbara and is bordered by a spectacular private beach. That's just the start of it, you have La Cumbre country club, Laguna Blanca private school and 30 miles of equestrian riding trails. This is home to to more than one billionaire and everyone's favorite rapper, Snoop Dogg.
Snooooop
Now Hope Ranch real estate is not for the faint of heart, the average home sells for 4-5 million dollars and easily climbs up over 20 million dollars. Currently the most expensive home listed in Hope Ranch is a 25 million dollar, 10,000 square foot stunner. It's an ocean front property on almost 4 acres, with a pool, spa, home theatre, private dance studio and tennis court. This home was built by a former Apple executive so you guessed it has all the tech bells and whistles you can imagine. If this sounds like the home you've been thinking about buying, you might want to jump on this one, it has recently been reduced to 25 million dollars and supposedly costed only 30 million dollars to build.
There are more modest homes in Hope Ranch, but everybody shares the same exclusive lifestyle and privacy. Now more than ever is an opportunity to stand out from the pack and work with a real estate agent that understands your local market. Have a great weekend! We'll see you next week.
