Many buyer clients have moved to Sonoma or Napa counties from out of state, so I know the process can feel even more challenging than simply finding a new home to buy.
No matter how much time you’ve spent here on vacation, it’s just not the same as living here day to day. So an important part of my job in the relocation process is to help you get as much local context and flavor as possible. This usually means a good bit of time driving and walking around and checking out houses, but also checking out neighborhoods and services.
I have helped a number of buyers coming from the East coast and Midwest in particular. In addition to the actual purchase of the home, real estate as a profession is practiced a bit differently in California than what you may be used to.
And, to be honest, if you’re coming from out of state, chances are pretty good that Wine Country home prices are a shock. Clients often wistfully describe how much more house and land they could get ‘back home’ compared to what they can get here.
I know how to get you from anxious to confident.
If you are thinking about relocating to Sonoma county or Napa county, I’d love to talk with you. No obligation. Occasionally the best service I can provide is to help buyers decide this is not the right place to move. But most of the time I help buyers discover how to make the Wine Country life their own.
