Sullivan Group Real Estate

Sonoma County, we love you… but you had this coming ?? We asked ChatGPT to roast our beautiful, brunch-obsessed, wine-drenched corner of the world—and it did not hold back. From $1.5M bungalows with popcorn ceilings to traffic jams that somehow happen at 2pm on a Tuesday, the roast hit way too close to home. Apparently, we’ve got more Subarus than parking spaces, our entire personality is “farm-to-table,” and our idea of nightlife is arguing over who has the best Pinot. Swipe to see ChatGPT’s take on Sonoma County—painfully accurate or just petty? ??♀??? Share this with a local who needs to see this. And remember: if we can’t laugh at ourselves… we’ll probably cry into a $24 kale salad ?? __________ Sullivan Group Real Estate Brokered by @exprealty_ https://lnkd.in/dDHb4zK9 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? #realestate #realtor #santarosa #petaluma #windsor #sonomacounty #selling

Home isn’t just four walls—it’s where life unfolds, where memories are made, and where family comes together. For a veteran and his wife, homeownership had always been a dream. With the help of Sullivan Group’s Homeownership for Heroes program, that dream became reality—a beautiful home in Santa Rosa, big enough for them, their daughter, son-in-law, and future grandkids to gather. It was everything they had hoped for. But life doesn’t always go as planned. A few years later, tragedy struck—not once, but twice—leaving the family with a heartbreaking decision to sell. That’s when their second daughter reached out. A nurse and a hero in her own right, she needed guidance navigating the sale and finding a new home where she, her husband, and her mother could be together. Just like before, we stepped in—because not every home sale is about excitement and new beginnings. Sometimes, it’s about providing stability in life’s hardest moments. Between the sale of their first home and the purchase of the second, this family received $14,262 in hero savings. The circumstances weren’t easy, but we were honored to help them through every step of the journey. ?? __________ Sullivan Group Real Estate Brokered by @exprealty_ https://lnkd.in/dDHb4zK9 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? #realestate #realtor #santarosa #petaluma #windsor #sonomacounty #selling

When Two Houses Just Won’t Cut It… ??? When M, a dedicated law enforcement officer, and T decided to blend their families, they knew they needed a home that could fit everyone—kids, dogs, and all. The challenge? They each owned a home, but neither had quite enough space for their new life together. Selling one home while buying another is tricky enough. Selling two at the same time—without ending up in limbo? That’s a whole different challenge. First up: M’s Windsor home. Since the family was already settled in T’s, we refreshed the space, listed it, and got it under contract just in time to secure the spacious home they had their hearts set on. With that locked in, we shifted focus to T’s home. Showings rolled in, strong offers followed, and soon enough, their final sale was complete. And the best part? This family saved $18,395 through Sullivan Group’s exclusive Homeownership for Heroes Program, our way of giving back to those who serve the community. Moves like this aren’t always simple, but when it means finding the perfect home for the next chapter—it’s always worth it. ?? __________ Sullivan Group Real Estate Brokered by @exprealty_ https://lnkd.in/dDHb4zK9 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? #realestate #realtor #santarosa #petaluma #windsor #sonomacounty #selling

Not every home sells overnight… and that’s where we come in. Some homes are love at first sight, and others need a little matchmaking. This property? It took time, the right marketing strategy, and a whole lot of persistence—but we stayed the course, and now our investor client is celebrating a successful sale! ?? Here’s the thing: real estate isn’t just about sticking a sign in the yard and hoping for the best. Every home has a unique story, and sometimes, it takes the right mix of timing, exposure, and positioning to bring that story to the right buyer. Some listings fly off the market in a matter of days, while others require a more tailored approach to generate the right interest. For this home, we doubled down on marketing, ensured consistent visibility, and engaged the right audience to keep momentum strong. From professional photography to targeted outreach, every step was intentional. We didn’t just wait for the right buyer to show up—we made sure they found this home. That’s the difference. Anyone can list a home, but getting it sold takes a plan. Market conditions shift, buyer demand fluctuates, and strategy matters more than ever—but with persistence, expertise, and the right adjustments along the way, results happen. ? The best part? The right buyer did come along, and with a strong plan in place, we got this deal across the finish line. A great win for our client, and a reminder that the right approach always makes the difference. ??? __________ Sullivan Group Real Estate Brokered by @exprealty_ https://lnkd.in/dDHb4zK9 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? #realestate #realtor #santarosa #petaluma #windsor #sonomacounty #selling

Buying a home without ever stepping inside? Sounds wild, right? But for K and J—relocating on military orders with a baby on the way—it was their only option. With a tight deadline and no chance to visit in person, they had to trust the process completely. Through video walkthroughs, Facetime tours, and constant updates, we made sure they felt confident in every step. Then, we found the one. Moving fast, we got their offer accepted, and just one month later, K and J officially became homeowners! The first time we met in person? When I handed them the keys—along with $2,907 in Hero savings through Sullivan Group’s exclusive Homeownership for Heroes program. ? K later shared: "Because we were under a tight deadline, my husband and I were unable to tour homes in person, and everything had to be done virtually. Morgan was an absolute gem and handled everything with professionalism, grace, and her communication was outstanding." Would you ever trust the process like K and J did?

Marching into Market Madness! ???? Home prices are springing up—literally! ?? The average home price has climbed 8.8% since last year, and we expect that trend to continue. For sellers, that means your home could be worth more than you think. For buyers, it's a reminder that waiting might just mean paying more later! But it's not just the market heating up—things are buzzing at Sullivan Group! We’ve got tons of new listings coming soon, exciting new projects with our Hero Program, and are making sure everything is in place before the spring market chaos officially begins. Of course, we’re having fun along the way! ?? Hailey kicked off her birthday with a Calistoga staycation—spa @goldenhavenspa, dinner @lovinacalistoga, and the full relaxation experience. Meanwhile, Morgan has been getting her garden beds prepped for spring (with only a few lizards trying to claim her backyard as their own!) and has loved getting feedback from fellow gardeners on the best ways to get things growing this season. ?? There’s so much happening, and we can’t wait to share more! Stay tuned for new listings, market updates, and everything we’ve got in store for spring. What’s on your spring to-do list?

Winter Wrapped, New Beginnings Ahead???? As the seasons shift from winter to spring, we can’t help but smile knowing so many of our clients spent their first season in a space that finally feels like home. Whether it was curling up by the fire, hosting their first holiday dinner, or watching the rain from the comfort of their new living room, these are the moments that make every step of the process worth it. Here’s a look at the buyers and sellers who made big moves this season: For our buyers: ?1?? A backyard oasis with a sparkling pool? Yes, please! We helped these buyers secure their dream home at a price that made sense.? 2?? Two of our sellers weren’t just saying “I do” to each other—they also found the perfect home to start their blended family. ?3?? Three kids under five and a job deadline before Dec 1? No pressure. We found them a home fast and even got it under listing price.? 4?? One of our Hero Program clients officially became a homeowner—helping heroes land a home is always extra special.? 5?? First-time homebuyers, a dream location, and the perfect amount of space? We helped them craft a strong offer that made it happen. ?6?? Selling and buying at the same time? Not easy, but we made sure this family had a seamless transition into their next home. For our sellers:? 7?? A referral from a past client led to this home going under contract in just under a week—we love when happy clients send their friends our way!? 8??+ 9?? The homes of our newly blended families, officially sold so they could move forward into their next chapter together.? A huge congratulations to all of our buyers and sellers! Every move has a story, and we’re so grateful to have been part of these chapters ?? __________ Sullivan Group Real Estate Brokered by @exprealty_ https://lnkd.in/dDHb4zK9 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? #realestate #realtor #santarosa #petaluma #windsor #sonomacounty #selling

“I thought I needed 20% down…” ???? That’s what so many buyers say before they realize the truth—owning a home is WAY more achievable than they thought. For years, people have been told that unless you have a huge down payment saved, homeownership is out of reach. But that’s not true. ? There are so many options to buy a home with way less upfront—some even with zero down. ???? We’ve seen buyers go from thinking they’d have to wait years to holding the keys to their new home in just a few months???—all because they got connected with the right team, explored low down payment options, and learned about programs designed to help them save. Here’s the thing: you don’t have to figure this out alone. ?? You just need the right strategy and a little guidance to make homeownership happen—sooner than you think. If you’ve been waiting because you thought you didn’t have enough saved, let’s talk. You might be closer to buying a home than you realize. Comment “Let’s go!” and we’ll help you get started! ?? __________ Sullivan Group Real Estate Brokered by @exprealty_ https://lnkd.in/dDHb4zK9 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? #realestate #realtor #santarosa #petaluma #windsor #sonomacounty #selling
