​​​​​​​Kirk grew up playing baseball, sailing, and surfing in Southwest Florida. After earning an Economics degree in central Florida, he visited a friend in Santa Barbara in 1985 and was enamored with the beauty of the area. In 1987 with a job offer in hand, Kirk made the move from Florida to Santa Barbara.
Kirk married a local Carpinterian in 1996, and together they have three wonderful children, all born in the same Santa Barbara home. For many years the Hodson family has called the Mesa area of Santa Barbara home.
Prior to his real estate career, Kirk worked in the Action Sports Industry for more than 25 years - in retail, production management, and as an outside sales rep. Never wanting to sell someone something, Kirk has always taken a service approach toward his clients and friends. He finds great satisfaction in putting mutually beneficial deals together; he likes getting people what they want.
Kirk understands the economics and knows the challenges of purchasing real estate in our area. Today, with more than $200,000,000 in residential real estate sales since 2012, Kirk is a favored Santa Barbara Realtor who cherishes his adopted home. Having lived, purchased, and sold real estate throughout Santa Barbara South County, Kirk is familiar with local neighborhoods and schools and has intimate knowledge of these communities.
Kirk is relational by nature, conscientious of others, highly detailed in his work and life, and excellent at follow-through. A born educator, Kirk’s honesty, tenacity, and research-drive, lead him to an educational business approach, allowing his clients to find the help they need to make really good decisions.
Whether you’re considering buying, selling, or trading, Kirk would love to spend some time getting to know your needs. Give him a call.
