About Castro Group
Santa Barbara is more than just where we work, it's home. As a husband-and-wife real estate team, we created The Castro Group to bring heart, hustle, and hometown expertise to every client relationship.
With over a decade of experience in the local market, Marcos Castro brings a sharp eye for investment, a deep understanding of property potential, and a background in construction project management. Whether you're buying your first home, flipping a fixer-upper, or prepping a property for sale, Marcos offers strategic insight and practical guidance rooted in hands-on experience and long-standing relationships with trusted local contractors.
Roya Castro, a Santa Barbara native, brings the same heart and dedication to real estate that defined her career as an educator. With a B.A. in Political Economy from UC Berkeley and a Master’s in Urban Education and Policy from Loyola Marymount, Roya’s background blends big-picture thinking with a deep commitment to people and place. Her time in the classroom honed her ability to listen closely, advocate fiercely, and guide others through complex decisions. These are the skills she brings to every client relationship in real estate.
Together, we believe real estate is more than just buying and selling. It’s about connection. Our mission is to make the process clear, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable. From our first meeting to the final key handoff (and long after), we’re here as guides, advocates, and neighbors.
