BRI STEEL

Broker/Realtor® + Owner • DRE# 01977946

Bri Steel is one of the top-producing Realtors® in the Monterey Bay Area, consistently handling around 30 million dollars of coastal real estate transactions a year. Bri graduated from one of the top business schools in the nation. For the next decade, she had a successful career as both a 7x World Champion professional athlete and an award-winning territory manager for a top medical device company. She brings the same level of intensity and focus to her real estate career and has the dedication and drive to make sure that YOU win. 

Bri has lovingly grown her company Bixby Realty into the area's favorite privately owned brokerage. Bri prides herself on her honest and constructive approach to the real estate business, as well as going the extra mile and working diligently for her clients. She brings focus, confidence, and enthusiasm to each and every project.

Bri holds her broker’s license in both California and Hawaii and has an extensive and proven track record of success. Bri is a competitor at heart and a negotiator at work. When it comes to writing offers and representing buyers in multiple offer situations, Bri has the experience and the creative techniques required to win. Bri prides herself on her attention to detail, negotiation skills, and persistence. 

Bri’s specialty is making her listings shine. With a bachelor's degree in marketing and a degree in sales from the nation’s top sales school, she meticulously creates her own property websites, produces her own listing videos, compiles her virtual tours, and adds personal touches as if she was listing her own property for sale. Her staging preparations, expert videography, photography, dynamic internet displays, and network of buyers, sellers, agents, and tradespeople are simply the best in the business.

Intimately related to representing clients, Bri’s passion is construction and design. She has personally bought, built, and remodeled multiple projects in Santa Cruz and Monterey County. She has completed everything from ground-up construction, ADU projects and conversions, and beautiful rehabs of distressed and abandoned properties. Bri has extensive experience designing her own plans, running her own crew of craftsmen, and shepherding projects through the regulatory agencies of the city and the county. She has developed a keen eye for estimating job costs and prides herself in coming up with creative solutions in almost any construction situation. She loves to share her ideas, contacts, and networks of tradesmen with her clients.

On a personal note, Bri is a Carmel Highlands and Capitola homeowner, private pilot, animal lover, and an avid outdoorswoman and ex-professional extreme sports athlete in the sports of wakesurfing and kiteboarding. Her passions revolve around being in nature - surfing, trail running, and hiking. She is married to a local orthopedic surgeon, surfer, spearfisherman, and home builder. They have two young children who are the lights of their lives.
