A Rich Tapestry of History
Sonoma's history dates back centuries, with indigenous tribes inhabiting the area long before Spanish missionaries arrived in the 19th century. The town of Sonoma itself was founded in 1835 and played a pivotal role in California's early development. It was here that the Bear Flag Revolt took place in 1846, leading to California's brief stint as an independent republic before joining the United States.

Joey Dibono is an amazing agent - I would recommend talking to him in advance of selling - he is great at coming up with a game plan to maximize your home sale. We worked together first when we bought a property, and he was available whenever we needed to go check out a house. He was good at informing us of problems with any particular house, and also, what things were an easy fix, should we want to make an offer. We got into a home in a pretty tough market BECAUSE Joey was on it when we made an offer. When we needed to sell, he had great ideas on timing and staging- and we had our first offer the very day it went on the market, and ended up accepting another offer in a week! I already have recommended Joey to other friends that need a great agent, and will continue to do so!

Joey helped us in one of the most difficult times of the real estate market. We looked for a house for two years straight during Covid and we finally found our dream house. Joey Was patient, thoughtful, knowledgeable about the current market, and fun to work with. After we bought our new house he sold our old house at another challenging time When the market started to change rapidly. We were still able to sell our house within 10 days of it being on the market when other houses were sitting for months. He gave great advice and I believe that he was really helpful In getting us the most competitive offer we could. Joey is now a friend and I would recommend him to anyone I know. He’s fun, professional, and knowledgeable.
