Jennifer Berger is a native Southern Californian and a third-generation REALTOR®. Following the footsteps of her Grandfather, and Mother, Jennifer began real estate in 1998, while attending UC Santa Barbara. She graduated in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and soon after attained her real estate license. Jennifer began her 25-year real estate career in a boutique real estate firm in Santa Barbara and after 5 years joined an established real estate firm to accommodate her expanding clientele and connect with clients on a local and international level. In 2016, Jennifer began the search to find a company that saw the next vision of real estate, one that empowered both agents and their clients with innovative technology and excellent customer service. It was with confidence and extreme enthusiasm that Jennifer joined the prestigious and elite agents at Compass at the end of 2016

Since Jennifer has built her business solely by referrals, her real estate territory is expansive. From the Pacific Ocean of Santa Barbara, to the cozy and cultural valley of Ojai, all the way through Goleta, Summerland, and Carpinteria. Jennifer has sold homes all along the California coastline. Client requests have also led her to represent the purchase of homes in Buellton, Venice, Mill Valley, Westlake Village, and Studio City. Notable sales include the 915 Del Norte, Ojai (the former home of both Reese Witherspoon and designer Kathryn M. Ireland), 2280 Santiago (a rare 3-acre mountain top estate on the Santa Barbara Riviera), and an entirely new construction complex in the heart of Downtown Santa Barbara during the recession.

As a Mom of two young boys, Jennifer spends time volunteering at their school and helping with school functions and events. In addition to her full-time commitment to her family and real estate, Jennifer loves to tap into her athletic side and enjoys CrossFit at a novice competitive level. Her newfound strength created a resurgence for her love of yoga, running, surfing, mountain climbing, and trail running. The central coast of California is paradise and Jennifer is filled with gratitude that she is able to call this her home.
