Saw this beautifully unique Sebastopol estate on Broker Tour today. Two homes situated on a four acre parcel just outside city limits. As soon as you step foot inside, you are truly transformed to another country…high ceilings, stained glass, colorful tile, multiple fireplaces. A forever staycation destination for hosting guests with three en-suite bedrooms.

Such a pleasure navigating an ever-changing real estate market with amazing clients. Love helping people realize their goals!

130 Petaluma Ave, Sebastopol (the gold building with the metal birds on the outside next to Sushi Hana).

* Donations welcome, but not at all necessary, as a fundraiser for the Sebastopol Chamber of Commerce since they lost a funding grant from the City.

Stunning single level contemporary/modern home built by local Sonoma County designer, Simon Fairweather. Situated on 17.4 acres west of Sebastopol, this amazing property has views for days and was built with sustainability in mind and a low environmental impact. It is serene and warm...impressive, and yet incredibly approachable with all of the natural materials used. Call me anytime with questions.

Love going places off the beaten path (although I practically live in the Russian River Valley and have a soft spot)...where to next?

5 Fantastic Alternatives to NorCal's Most Popular Getaways Northern California is a catch-22.

Volunteered with colleagues at the 50th annual Gravenstein Apple Fair a couple weeks ago here in Sebastopol. Had a great time helping people check in, perusing the vendors, enjoying delicious food and bev, and of course listening to great live music capped off with local favorite, Poor Man’s Whiskey. Such a great small town fair. You should come next year!

This is a fun story to share...my clients had been in a multiple offer situation on this one back in May and did not prevail, so we continued our search. They were ready to make an offer on another property when the listing agent called saying this home had just fallen out of escrow and was available again. Since we were under a tight offer deadline on the other, we gave an extremely short window for the sellers to respond to our offer (2 hours!!). Their offer was accepted and we ended up closing $17,000 under our original bid! Couldn't be happier for my lovely clients (who are now friends) to move into their new house together...persistence and patience really do pay off.

Open today from 1-3pm, 12425 Ramsey Rd in Sebastopol.
3 bed/2 bath warm, light-filled home, plus a rustic cottage and a true artist's studio nestled on a 5 acre parcel near Freestone.

I have so many questions. Like, was this bathroom supposed to be relaxing? Because it kind of feels like there’s a 4-person spectator bench observing the bathtub and sinks. Upside is you do have some square footage to play with and it’s located on a stunning street in Santa Rosa.

I'll be hosting an Open House at 2320 Rowe Drive in Santa Rosa, CA today from 1-3pm. Super cute 4 bed/2 bath on a large lot near the JC area priced at $660,000. Come on by!

Sonoma County market stats for January 2023. Of note, average sales prices have inched down for the month while days on market went up. Total number of sales has dropped off dramatically for the month, due to the time of year and lack of inventory. As we wrap up February, we are seeing a few more homes slowly come to market and buyer demand remaining strong.

So excited for my buyers to get into this house! The worst part about closing a deal is missing the daily communication...the best is gaining friends and being able to help people in times of transition. I'm here if you ever want to talk real estate (or just talk).

Where do you want to be? I saw two incredible homes on broker tour today and they couldn’t be more different. One neutral and elegant, the other colorful and artsy…both equally amazing in their own right.

Market update for December 2022. As you can see looking back over the past months, home prices are declining some but not taking a deep dive. The news is out to grab your attention (on many fronts)…please look at local data to make decisions. Better yet, call me and we can talk. It is definitely a slower time of year and homes are sitting a little longer, but inventory is still incredibly low and there are still buyers…so there is still a market.

I will be holding 1480 Glenside Street in Santa Rosa open today (Sun 11/20) from 1-3pm.

Beautifully remodeled single level 4 bed/2 bath on a 7500 sqft lot with an in-ground pool. New kitchen, baths, flooring…come see me!

Sonoma County market stats for October (and September apparently). Kind of nice to see the side by side visual of the market correction. Home prices down slightly, as are the number of homes sold….and interest rates! Reach out with any questions, I’d love to have a conversation with you!

If you have a sundial and need to move, give me a call! 😁

Market updates for August in Sonoma County. And a marketing piece that speaks to my philosophy as an agent…I enjoy connecting with people and helping them find home. If you know anyone who has questions, I’m always here…please send them my way.
