Moving from NY to SANTA BARBARA, need real estate help! I am moving from NYC to SB and I have been looking in the following areas to rent a 1 bedroom/1 bath: Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Summerland, Monticito, Carpinteria.
We are moving Mid-August and the budget is anything lower than $1300 a month.
I have called around and have been told that there aren't brokers or real estate agents that can help find a place. Is that true?
Any help would be welcome if anyone has a recommendation on someone to help us find a place.

You should do the 1 hour commute from Lompoc and rent a whole house for $1300 a month in Vandenberg Village. We own a rental house there and it's a 3BR/2BA for $1450 a month. You get used to the hour drive into Santa Barbara for work (I did it 5 days a week for 3 years) and it's a pretty drive, lots of hills and ocean. The drive is pretty zen and there is usually minimal traffic until right as you get into SB. Good luck! Here's a good property rental site in Lompoc: http://www.plusmanagement.net/ ETA: You people downvoting me because I like Lompoc is shitty, I'm just saying.
