Tyler Whelehan

Originally from the Bay Area, Ty moved to Santa Barbara to play collegiate baseball at SBCC before transferring to UCSB, where he earned his degree in Communication and obtained his California real estate license. What started as an athletic opportunity quickly became a long-term commitment to the coastal lifestyle and culture that define the region.

Before launching his residential real estate career, Ty built a foundation in local property management, marketing, event planning, and high-end customer service experiences that shaped his strategic mindset and client-first approach.

Early in his real estate career, Ty trained alongside a seasoned luxury team, gaining hands-on exposure to high-end transactions and complex negotiations. In 2025, operating as an individual agent, he ranked in the top 9% of agents globally and among the top 100 agents across Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura Counties. His growth has been fueled by strategic execution, consistent communication, and a loyal base of repeat clients and referrals, reflected in his 5-star track record.

Now at Compass, Ty leverages industry-leading technology, data-driven insights, and innovative marketing to deliver a modern real estate experience rooted in preparation, clear communication, and professionalism. His approach is strategic yet approachable — ensuring clients feel confident and informed at every stage of the process.

Outside of real estate, Ty enjoys exploring Santa Barbara’s restaurant scene, training at the Santa Barbara Athletic Club, and staying connected to his lifelong passions for sports and music production. He remains actively involved in the community and committed to giving back through local charitable initiatives and professional organizations.
