The last few years have been a fun ride for sure with the housing marketing as lively has it has been in years with the exception of a couple of months at the beginning of 2020 when I think we all thought house sales would stop entirely for a year because of Covid. Over that time David Hargreaves with ModernLivingSonoma and Jonathan Bruington have grown a fairly sizeable independent businesses by working hard and focussing on giving clients the best possible service. In addition to both serving clients, the ModernLivingSonoma web site has built quite a following providing a wealth of information and resources to help with all decisions relating to real estate.
Over the past few years between the two of us we have completed 182 deals with a total value of $185m with the help of a great team at W Real Estate. As we start to think about 2023, we have decided to join forces to create BruingtonHargreaves. Over this year alone, between the two of us we have completed over 60 transactions with a combined value of nearly $80m in sales across Sonoma County.
While David brings deep marketing experience and a strong portfolio of clients in both the second home and vacation rental markets in Healdsburg, Sebastopol and Russian River, Jonathan has a lot of experience working with serial investors, developers and with high end clients in areas such as Mayacaama and Santa Rosa. Between the two of us we have a really strong geographic coverage across Sonoma County and a wide range of different clients all with different client needs. Below you will see a map showing our combined deals over the past 3 years.
More important than our size and the areas we cover we both have a shared philosophy of delivering the best possible service to clients combined with our drive and enthusiasm to give our best in everything we do. Hopefully this makes us a great team to have on your side.
This website and blog at www.modernlivingsonoma.com will continue as it always has to provide you with a wealth of resources about everything from market data, living in Healdsburg, buying and setting up a vacation rentals, the cost of remodelling your home as well as numerous resources about building your own home.
Randy Waller, broker of W Real Estate, comments, "We are excited for David and Jonathan to join forces to create BruingtonHargreaves. It is hard to find two more hard working, professional and smart agents. Out of our 200+ agents, Jonathan was Agent of the Year in 2020 and David was Agent of the Year last year and I wouldn't bet against one of them coming out on top this year. The two of them will be a formidable force in the Sonoma County real estate market and a great asset to W."
We are excited to continue to build the business in 2023 bringing to market numerous homes that we are all ready getting ready for Spring 2023 as well as gearing up for the end of the vacation rental moratorium.
