Unsurpassed knowledge, impeccable integrity, and tenacious advocacy. With these qualities, along with over 20 years in the business, a remarkable sales record, and a tireless work ethic, Dina, the firm’s Managing Partner, has methodically built a career as a leading authority on luxury real estate. Having worked alongside industry icon and mentor, Rebecca Riskin, for 14 years, it’s no wonder that long-time clients and colleagues alike look to Dina as an advisor and confidant, and that she leads the firm with an unrivaled level of excellence, expertise, and integrity. Whether discussing market trends, negotiating legacy properties for UHNWIs, or overseeing the day-to-day operations of the company, Dina’s knowledge, poise under pressure, and her unique skill set offer Riskin Partners Estate Group’s clients an invaluable advantage in the complex world of luxury real estate sales. 

Dina and her partner, Geoff, live near Montecito’s Upper Village. As the office’s earliest riser, Dina usually starts her days with a dog walk and a workout, then emails and phone calls. When she’s not working, she can be found hosting friends and visiting family, playing mahjong, trying out her new skills on the golf course, or just sitting in the backyard enjoying a good book.

ROBERT RISKIN
PARTNER

Robert’s passion for real estate started at a young age, when he would accompany his mother, Rebecca Riskin, to open houses and showings as an infant. Robert’s dedication to honoring his mother’s legacy as the most successful and respected agent in the history of Montecito has led him to become an integral part of the firm. Clients value Robert’s willingness to tackle any challenge head-on and navigate difficult negotiations. His expertise in all aspects of the escrow process, combined with his easy-going demeanor, makes him a pleasure to work with.

Robert’s love for travel led him to spend four years in Rio De Janeiro, where he met his wife, Fe. After returning to Santa Barbara in 2013, he continued his career in real estate, selling properties in his hometown. Robert and Fe, along with their two young sons, Lucca and Leo, now call Montecito home. They are grateful for the opportunity to raise their children in this fantastic community, just as Robert and his sister were. With a strong commitment to his clients and a deep love for his community, Robert is dedicated to providing exceptional service and ensuring that his clients have a seamless and enjoyable real estate experience.

JASMINE TENNIS
PARTNER

As a third-generation Realtor on both sides of her family, Jasmine brings a deeply ingrained understanding of what it takes to successfully position, negotiate, and close luxury real estate at the highest level. With hundreds of transactions over nearly two decades, she is known for her sharp market instincts, strategic approach to pricing and negotiation, and her unwavering advocacy for clients navigating complex, high-value sales.

Before joining Riskin Partners more than twelve years ago, Jasmine honed her skills in Seattle’s competitive West Bellevue luxury market, representing tech executives and international buyers in sophisticated, fast-moving transactions. Today, as an integral member of Riskin Partners, her practice spans estate properties, primary residences, second homes, and off-market opportunities with particular strength in advising sellers on timing, positioning, and deal structure to achieve optimal outcomes. Jasmine is especially valued for her ability to anticipate challenges, manage nuance, and guide clients confidently through California’s intricate escrow process.

Jasmine and her husband, Corry, first discovered Santa Barbara in 2011 and soon after made the move from Seattle, ultimately settling in Montecito. Her deep local knowledge, paired with a disciplined, thoughtful sales approach, allows her to serve clients with both perspective and precision. Outside of real estate, Jasmine is an avid home cook and a natural host who enjoys hot yoga, wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley, live music, and time spent with friends. She is also the proud mom of two beloved office dogs, Cali and Jimi.
