ABOUT TAMARA & PHYLLIS

TAMARA MCLEAN & PHYLLIS COONCE

Hi there, we're Tamara McLean and Phyllis Coonce — sisters, partners, female entrepreneurs, and your trusted real estate partners on the Southern and Central Coast of California.

As proud members of Keller Williams Santa Barbara, we bring a combined 30 years of sales and real estate marketing experience to everything we do. We specialize in helping buyers and sellers navigate the market across Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, the Santa Ynez Valley, and beyond — with a particular focus on Downtown Santa Barbara, Hope Ranch, Mission Canyon, the Riviera, the Mesa, and the beautiful communities throughout Ventura County including Ojai, Ventura, and Oxnard Shores. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned seller, we are committed to guiding you through the real estate process with expertise and personalized attention. With a passion for our communities and a deep understanding of the local markets, we strive to make your real estate journey a seamless and successful one.

Having grown up on the Southern California coast, the beach has always been part of who we are — and that deep appreciation for the coastal lifestyle is woven into everything we do for our clients. It's what drives our commitment to helping people find not just a house, but a home and a community they love.

That love of the water eventually led us to Kauai, where we have owned property for over seven years. It's an island that has captured our hearts, and we're proud that Tamara is now licensed there, helping clients find their own slice of paradise. From the lush and laid-back North Shore communities of Hanalei and Princeville, to the sunny resort shores of Poipu on the South Shore, to the charming towns of Kapaa and Lihue on the East Side, we understand what makes each part of the island special — and we're passionate about matching the right clients with the right place.

Choose us for a partnership built on trust, experience, and a shared commitment to turning your real estate dreams into reality — whether that's in Santa Barbara, Ventura County, or on the shores of Kauai.

What makes us special? We grew up with the guidance of a strong, single mother who instilled in us the values of hard work, loyalty, and family. She taught us the importance of sticking together, helping others, and embracing an entrepreneurial spirit. Her unwavering support and wisdom shaped who we are today, and we carry those lessons into our business. Family always comes first, and we are committed to treating our clients with the same dedication and care, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.
