Ashley Anderson and Paul Hurst are celebrating 10 years of success as Anderson Hurst Associates, the award-winning real estate partnership at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties in Montecito. Anderson and Hurst have ranked in the top 1% of Berkshire Hathaway Agents Nationwide for eight years, and Paul is an Associate Manager at the Berkshire Hathaway Montecito office. The partners reflect on turning 10 in this history-making era of the Santa Barbara area real estate market.
“Our 10 years as Anderson Hurst Associates is a tale of extremes. The real estate market has swung from a bottom unlike any other since the Great Depression, to today’s highest real estate market in history,” said Paul Hurst. “In residential real estate, you want to be aware of trends, but also make sure that your decision is the right one for your life at that time.”
Ashley and Paul renewed a decades-long friendship that began when they attended the same high school, The Brentwood School in Los Angeles. They reconnected in 2007 when Ashley returned to settle in Santa Barbara. Two months later he sold her the Mesa home that she lives in today. In 2011, Paul invited Ashley to join forces with him after she retired from her successful 20-year Public Relations career to become a full-time licensed real estate professional.
