We have been serving Sonoma County as Real Estate professionals and stewards of the land for nearly 50 years combined. We have extensive knowledge of this unique and beautiful area and will bring our expertise to each transaction. Above all, we promise to treat each client fairly and professionally.  A graduate of Sonoma State University with a degree in psychology, Cary is a thirty-six year resident of the west county with a background in residential construction prior to acquiring his real estate license in 1980. Specializing in rural residential properties, Cary's experience in the building trades is helpful in guiding purchasers and sellers through issues relating to country property acquisition and sale: wells, roads, grading, septic systems, structural pest concerns, the permit process etc. Cary spends much of his community involvement time protecting this gorgeous county of ours. He is the Real Estate representative for the Sonoma County Agricultural and Open Space Preservation District (One of the most successful open space protection districts in the nation). He is an active member of the Sonoma Land Trust, and has been a monitor for several of their west county conservation easements over the years.   With thirty-one years as a resident in the county, Doug is extremely familiar with the myriad of microclimates, neighborhoods, and regions that make Sonoma County so unique. These years as a resident, coupled with his experience as an agent, bring a great degree of expertise to the challenges inherent in purchasing country property. "While I enjoy working with all types of real estate, I specialize in rural and country properties, from small acreage in and around town, to large ranches, and undeveloped land. Most important to me is handling every transaction with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. I work to handle all the details and complexities of each transaction, enabling a smooth and as stress-free as possible process for my clients. My goal is to make the process of buying or selling a property not only successful but ultimately enjoyable. One of the key factors in this process is not just experience and regional expertise but also communication. Keeping clients informed throughout a transaction, from writing a contract through the escrow process and even follow-up after a purchase or sale is finalized, is critical to me, and my ability to do this in a clear, straight-forward manner, has been fundamental to my success as an agent."

First Time Buyers >Inspection Contingencies
Many of today's purchase offers include a contingency clause that allows the buyers to hire a home inspector or professional expert to inspect the property. If there is a significant defect in the property, the buyer can cancel the contract without losing the earnest money deposit. Contingencies are excellent procedures that protects both the buyer and the seller.
The time period for inspection contingencies is negotiable. In most parts of the country, the buyers have about a week in which to cancel the contract if the structural inspection reveals a serious and consequential defect. The positive side to such contingencies is that the inspection usually addresses--and overcomes--the buyers' misgivings, and confirms their decision to move ahead with the purchase.
