What I Focus On
Compounds & Family Estates
Multi-structure properties with main residences, guest houses, ADUs, and outbuildings on shared acreage — evaluated on income potential and renovation feasibility, with regulatory constraints factored in.
Learn more →STR & Investment Properties
Many wine country buyers want a lifestyle property first and an income-producing asset second. I run my own hospitality portfolio in wine country — that firsthand experience shapes every recommendation.
Learn more →Ranch, Vineyard & Hospitality
Working ranches, vineyard estates, event venues, and boutique lodging operations. We bring financial rigor and operational awareness, then assemble the right specialists around each transaction.
Learn more →Residential Buyer & Seller
First home, primary residence, luxury upgrade, or weekend retreat — I connect buyers to properties they wouldn't find on their own, and I negotiate hard.

Returns Under Uncertainty
Where property returns actually come from — and why the most analytical buyers often capture the least. The piece to read first.

Patrick Blewett · Google
“Brian is truly the whole package — he's an agent, a homeowner and a property manager. Throughout the whole house-hunting process, Brian was patient, earnest, and very communicative. Brian not only helped us find a home but he helped us create an opportunity for our future.”
Arnold Schrader · Google
“Brian ran a crazy load of financials to show best and worst case scenarios for my investment. He guided me throughout the whole buying process and was so honest that he even suggested we back out of the deal a few times as there were complications. Any other agent would have pushed for the deal to close.”
Sam Morim · Google
“He locked down the perfect property and negotiated a great deal for me. He communicated every step of the way and it was like I was dealing with a longtime friend. He is super knowledgeable and a great resource. He is now my go-to guy for my real estate needs.”

Where I Work
Sonoma & Napa Counties
Two counties, thirty-six federal appellations, and communities that behave like separate markets. Healdsburg and Calistoga are 24 miles apart and price nothing alike. Here is every area I work.
Sonoma County
Nineteen appellations across about 1,575 square miles of land, from the walkable plaza at Healdsburg to the old vines of Dry Creek, the ranch land of Alexander Valley, and 55 miles of Pacific coast. Where I live, invest and work.
Healdsburg · Dry Creek Valley · Alexander Valley · Cloverdale · Windsor · Russian River Valley · West County · Sonoma Coast · Sonoma Valley · Bennett Valley · Santa Rosa · Petaluma & Southern Sonoma
Napa County
Seventeen appellations in a valley 30 miles long and rarely more than five wide, plus the mountain districts on either wall and the ranch valleys behind them. Denser, more expensive, and far more sharply subdivided than Sonoma.
