The No.2 Ranked Team in Sonoma County. No.1 in Healdsburg.

BruingtonHargreaves is ranked No. 2 in Sonoma County by RealTrends 2025, and No. 1 in Healdsburg. We sold $77.2 million in 2025 across 62 transactions, part of $232 million sold over the last three years, in every corner of the county, from the Russian River to the Sonoma Valley.

We are not a national brand parachuting into Sonoma County. Jonathan Bruington grew up in Sonoma County real estate, with family roots in local development, financing, and sales, and has been hands-on in dozens of renovation and construction projects across the area. David Hargreaves helped build one of the county's top teams within three years of moving here, and brings a digital-marketing background that puts your home in front of more of the right buyers. W Real Estate is consistently voted the No. 1 brokerage in Sonoma County and averages achieving 100.4% of list price, 2.5% higher than any other brokerage in the county.

Half of our business comes from past clients and referrals. If you are buying or selling anywhere in Sonoma County, this is the team that knows it from the inside.


WHY US

What Sets Us Apart.

 

No.2 in the County. No.1 in Healdsburg.

RealTrends 2025 ranks BruingtonHargreaves No. 2 in Sonoma County and No. 1 in Healdsburg. That ranking is built on transaction volume, not on advertising.

$232M Sold Over 3 Years.

We sold $77.2 million in 2025 and $232 million over the last three years, across every town and every price point, from the Russian River to Healdsburg to the Sonoma Valley. That includes the county's luxury pockets, which we cover in our guide to where the wealthy live in Sonoma County (/where-the-wealthy-live-in-sonoma-county-a-local-real-estate-agents-guide-to-luxury-neighborhoods/).

Sonoma County's No.1 Vacation Rental Team.

We transact roughly $25 million a year in vacation rental property and have represented more than 60 STR clients. No team in the county understands permits, cap rates, and income valuations better.

350,000+ Views. Local Authority.

Our YouTube channel, editorial presence, and digital-marketing background mean buyers find us before they find anyone else. That reach matters when it is your home on the market.

100.4% of List Price.

Across the brokerage, W Real Estate sellers achieve 100.4% of list price, 2.5% higher than any other brokerage in the county. Better pricing and better marketing show up in the final number.

Half Our Business Is Repeat and Referral.

Fifty percent of our business comes from past clients and referrals. In a county this size, that is the clearest signal there is: people who have worked with us send us the people they care about.

HOW WE WORK

Simple Process. No Surprises.

inception-app-prod/ZDFmOWMzYTktNzU4Zi00YTIzLTk3MjYtYThkN2JkMGVlYzA3/content/2026/05/e1430f3ffc2848eed8abd1b1bd1a0cd4090c9178.webp

Consultation

A phone call first, then a visit to your home. We take the time to understand your goals, walk the property with fresh eyes, and give you an honest in-person assessment and valuation. No scripts, no rush.

Pricing Strategy and Marketing Plan 

We present a detailed, data-driven pricing analysis — not a number pulled from thin air. Then we walk you through a marketing plan that is unlike anything you will see from another agent in this market. We do not waste your time talking about open houses and the websites everyone else lists on. Our approach is different, and we will show you exactly why.

Preparation and Launch

We handle everything needed to get your home ready — even if you are not local. Staging direction, contractor coordination, photography, video. And throughout the whole process, you work directly with David and Jonathan. You will not be handed off to a junior agent.

Questions We Get Asked Most About Buying and Selling in Sonoma County.

Who is the top real estate team in Sonoma County? 

BruingtonHargreaves is ranked the No. 2 team in Sonoma County by RealTrends 2025, and the No. 1 team in Healdsburg, with $77.2 million sold in 2025. David Hargreaves and Jonathan Bruington lead the team, combining a digital-marketing background with deep, multi-generation Sonoma County roots.

Which part of Sonoma County should I buy in? 

It depends entirely on what you want. Santa Rosa offers the widest range of value and the most amenities, Healdsburg is the luxury Wine Country pick, the Russian River is the strongest area for vacation rentals and attainable entry, Sebastopol suits buyers who want acreage and character, and the Sonoma Valley towns of Kenwood and Glen Ellen are quiet, estate-heavy country. Our guide to which Sonoma County town fits your lifestyle (/sonoma-county-towns-which-city-fits-your-lifestyle/) is the best place to start.

Do you cover the whole county, or just one area? 

The whole county. We are No. 1 in Healdsburg and active every week across Santa Rosa, Windsor, Sonoma, Sebastopol, the Russian River, and the Sonoma Valley. We also have dedicated town guides for buying and selling in Santa Rosa (/buy-santa-rosa/) and Healdsburg (/buy-healdsburg/), with more on the way.

What commission do Sonoma County realtors typically charge? 

Since the NAR settlement in 2024, buyer agent compensation is negotiated separately. We charge buyers 2.5%, which is the norm, although some agents try to charge 3%. For sellers, we charge a flat fee of 2.5%. We keep it simple.

What is the difference between working with BruingtonHargreaves and a national brokerage? 

National brokerages give you brand recognition and the promise of visibility in New York or SF. The reality is buyers find homes on online portals with combined traffic of nearly 200 million viewers. Any single brokerage site is a rounding error in comparison. We give you two partners who answer their own phones, know the active inventory across the county, and have relationships with the agents in every one of these markets. When a property comes up before it hits the MLS, you hear about it because we do. That access does not come from a franchise.
