In this video of The Senior Scoop, meet your hosts Deborah and Kelsey Samuel, the passionate duo behind SB SOS. Discover how their unique life journeys—from aviation and corporate Australia to construction and event planning—shaped their mission to provide personalized downsizing, estate sales, and real estate services to seniors in Santa Barbara.
Get a behind-the-scenes look at how SB SOS began: a call to help a senior in need led to the creation of a trusted, full-service organization now known across town as “the SOS Girls.” With a hands-on team, two vans on the road, and a reputation built on compassion and expertise, SB SOS helps seniors relocate smoothly and with dignity.
You’ll also hear about Deborah and Kelsey’s own downsizing adventure—living on a yacht in Santa Barbara Harbor—and how their personal experience informs the services they offer.
