A strategist on
your side of the table.
Buying a wine-country home is one of the largest decisions you will make. You deserve representation that is analytical, discreet, and relentless on your behalf.
Six steps — and the first one
is the one others skip.
Insurability first
Before you fall in love, I run a property-level insurability and wildfire-risk read with a vetted broker network. California premiums are up roughly 84% since 2020 and the FAIR Plan caps at $3M — below replacement cost for most estates. You learn the true cost of ownership up front, not in escrow.
Define the target
We get precise about what actually matters to you — then I translate it into a structured, data-driven search that covers every home on the market, with new matches flagged the day they list.
Surface the right homes
Market data and a deep local network find homes that fit, faster — and flag the ones that look right but aren’t. That second half matters more than most buyers expect.
Buy at the right price
I track sale-to-original-list ratios by submarket and tier, so you know where the leverage actually is. Every offer is priced with comparables, days-on-market, and absorption data — so you use your leverage instead of guessing at it.
Diligence with discipline
Full analysis of value, risk, water rights and well data, and terms — so you decide with evidence rather than emotion.
Concierge to keys — and beyond
Hands-on coordination from offer to close, plus vetted property management and smart-home setup so a second home runs beautifully whether you are here or in the city.
Dispersion is where
leverage hides.
August split Wine Country in two: Napa County closed far more homes, but they took longer to sell; Sonoma County closed fewer, and faster. Rising day-counts in the upper tier mean negotiating room, especially on listings past 60 days. The room is real, but it is not evenly distributed.

The four questions every
wine-country buyer asks.
Let’s find the right one —
and make sure it’s insurable.
Tell me what actually matters and I will build a structured search around it, score the matches against your criteria, and flag new listings the day they come to market.
