Mentored To Win For You!

One evening at Beachside Café in Santa Barbara, over the sundowner special—salmon, buttery garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus—our family watched the sun dip into the Pacific before heading to watch UCSB face Pepperdine in volleyball. In that quiet moment, a simple question was asked: What should we name this new real estate company?

*Beachside Realty Group was born at sunset in Santa Barbara at Beachside Cafe.

After two local brokers were unable to sell the Monarch Bay Drive home, our team rebranded and strategically marketed it to luxury car collectors, highlighting the six-car subterranean garage. The property entered escrow in just 62 days.

Listed for over 18 months with two prominent local brokers, 156 Monarch Bay Drive entered escrow in

Selling Homes That Did Not Sell The First Time!

The Two Things Beachside Does Differently

1. We Advise Strategically — Not Just List to Sell

Most agents focus on getting the listing signed.
Beachside focuses on getting the decision right.

Before going to market, we:

Analyze timing, tax impact, and competing inventory
Coordinate with CPAs, attorneys, and trustees when needed
Advise whether selling now—or waiting—is truly in your best interest

If selling doesn’t make sense, we’ll say so.
That advisory mindset protects value before it’s ever at risk.

2. We Create Buyers — We Don’t Wait for Them

Most brokerages list a home and wait for calls.
Beachside goes after the buyer.

We use:

Direct outreach to qualified buyers
Targeted broker-to-broker relationships
Off-market and quiet-market strategies when appropriate

The MLS is a tool—not the strategy.
Execution is what creates leverage.

Homes That Don't Sell Get Rebranded And Sold!

Beachside Realty Group is a real estate advisory and brokerage firm that specializes in rebranding, remarketing, and selling luxury homes in the $3M–$10M range. Unfortunately, nearly 50% of luxury homes fail to sell the first—or even second—time on the market, often due to poor positioning, unrealistic pricing, or passive marketing strategies.

Beachside focuses on correcting those mistakes. We step in when a home has become stagnant, rewrite the property’s story, reposition it against true market competition, and actively create buyer demand. Our process is designed to move “hard-to-sell” homes efficiently—protecting value and achieving top-dollar results without relying on hype or hope.

Beachside's happy customers!

Rick is an AMAZING Realtor. We have done dozens of transactions together and Rick is a person you can trust. He is ethical, knowledgeable and a super hard worker. We have worked on all sorts of transactions together, from short sales, to investment properties, to the luxury market. He really knows all facets of the business. I highly recommend Rick, to get you the results you are looking for.

There was never any pressure from him. After working with him for one day, he knew what I would love or what I disliked about a home within minutes of us walking in to a showing, without me saying a word. He was quick yet thorough. If only there were more people like him around!!! We were also working with a cramped schedule, only being in town for two short days. He got us in to every single home we wanted to see AND it was a holiday weekend. We were also working on " toddler" time as we had our little boy with us while viewing homes. Rick was great. He included our child when he could tell he was getting bored, and he was a no BS guy yet very respectful. He didn't waste a minute of our time! Thank you Rick!!

Rick has a huge heart for seniors and he seems to enjoy working with the elderly. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and has a great friendly personality! He also works with seniors on improving their memory and he is loves to help improve the quality of life for seniors that are home bound and looking for answers for socialization. We look forward to working with him to help seniors find solutions for Retirement Communities. Give him a call if you need to sell your house!!

Rick is all about serving the needs of others and helping wherever needed. I experienced this first hand, as a new agent, Rick was the first to reach out and provide useful advice and even a little informal training.

I had the pleasure of working with Rick Colson on a recent transaction that I was presenting the buyers. Rick is a very charming person that wants to resolve everything to the best interest of both parties. He is a great team player and makes the whole transaction a pleasant experience, I have been in business for over 14 years to this date and there are not that many professionals in our industry that will make the transaction a great experience, majority of them will make it hell. But Rick Colson is among the a few professionals that was a pleasure to work with, Thank you Rick for a smooth transaction.

I have the honor of working with Rick as a preferred Broker of the senior living community I represent. He has great energy and a winning personality, which is great for the senior community! He services his clients with an all-inclusive move and relocation program. He is a one stop shop. As I have seen, he will fight for all his clients to get the highest possible price for their home. He is also great if you are moving a loved one to a senior living community as he is well versed in the psychological side of the move. Relocating to a community can be sometimes tough but, Rick and his transition team make it easy on you and your family.

"I’ve known Rick for over a decade, and, during that time, he has consistently demonstrated his skill and dedication as a Realtor. Rick takes the time to listen to his client's needs and concerns, and he goes above and beyond to ensure that they are satisfied with the outcome, Rick is simply a great person. Through some of the most challenging times for the Southern California real estate market, Rick has remained steadfast in his efforts to help his clients achieve their goals. What sets Rick apart from other Realtors is his genuine care for his clients. He is kind, compassionate, and always willing to lend a helping hand.

I have encountered many Real Estate brokers in my time, some good and some not so good, so hiring Rick to sell my home in Monarch Bay pushed the envelope further in so many ways, and all of them are good! His upbeat attitude is not forced, but a genuine reflection of his outlook on life, and his willingness to help me improve, clean & present the home in the best light, was over & above what I had expected. He had many ideas about the custom marketing of the property and employed an excellent photographer and even a drone for those eye-in-the-sky shots of my home. We had many open discussions on the pros & cons of various tactics, some of which were very intense, but through it all we maintained a great working relationship, which culminated in the sale of my home. Rick is passionate about his profession and has many fresh & interesting ideas on how to achieve set goals, so if you are looking for someone to represent you either selling or buying property, especially in the So County Coastal area, you would be hard-pressed to find someone better than Rick Colson, alias ‘Rick the Realtor’.
