About Jeff Catomer
I joined BruingtonHargreaves after more than a decade building deep community relationships across Sonoma County -- first through sports, coaching, and gym management, and now through a real estate career centered on service, communication, and trust. Raised in Santa Rosa and rooted in the county for over 20 years, I bring a true local's perspective to every client I work with. At BruingtonHargreaves, I'm part of one of Sonoma County's top-performing real estate teams -- a group known for its modern, data-driven, and design-forward approach. Based in Healdsburg, we serve buyers and sellers across Santa Rosa, Windsor, Sebastopol, Healdsburg, the Russian River, and the Sonoma Coast. Whether guiding first-time homebuyers, helping Bay Area families find a second home, or advising investors on high-potential properties, our team is committed to clarity, strategy, and superior results.

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff was incredible to work with. He spent a great deal of time showing me many different homes and walking me through every scenario aEUR" from fully move-in-ready houses to those needing a little TLC. He was always professional, patient, and truly invested in helping me find the right fit. I'm grateful for all the energy and care he put into the process and would highly recommend him.
FAQ
Be patient, but decisive. As one of Sonoma County's top real estate agents, I see buyers miss opportunities all the time because they are unsure or afraid to commit. Whether you're a first-time home buyer, looking for luxury properties in Healdsburg, or searching for vacation rental opportunities in Sonoma County, preparation is key. Spending time to understand and evaluate what you're looking for—whether it's a home in Santa Rosa, Windsor, or the Russian River communities—will give you the confidence to make a decision when the right opportunity arises. On the flip side, I see many people get in over their heads trying to rush into a decision they weren't prepared for. Do your homework, understand the local market trends, so that you are both patient and decisive in your search.
Pricing is key. As a top listing agent in Healdsburg and Sonoma County, I've learned that sellers often reach too far because they feel their home is unique or want to leave themselves 'room to negotiate'. This almost always has a negative result on the final sales price. At BruingtonHargreaves, our sellers achieve 100.4% of list price—2.5% higher than any other brokerage in the county. We don't subscribe to pricing houses artificially low to incite bidding wars, as this can set buyer expectations too low. Instead, we use data-driven strategy combined with cutting-edge digital marketing to price accurately for what the market will bear. So prep your home, make it shine, and price it right—that's how we deliver record results for sellers.
I've worked with a diverse range of clients across northern Sonoma County, including Healdsburg, Windsor, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Petaluma, and the Russian River communities. I work with investors purchasing vacation rental properties—we've facilitated over $20 million in vacation rental transactions—navigating complex exchanges, financing, and ownership structures. I also specialize in luxury real estate, having completed 15 luxury transactions over $2m valued at over $30m. I work with move-up buyers looking to upsize, downsizers, and first-time home buyers getting their foot in the door. I also handle probate sales, trust sales, new construction projects, land development, and everything in between. With nearly 200 properties sold valued at over $150 million, I've developed expertise across every aspect of Sonoma County real estate.
It's fresh in my mind as it just recently closed. Our sellers had owned and loved their home for 47 years, but had it on the market for over 2 years with 2 different brokerages without a sale. As Sonoma County real estate experts, we took over the listing and looked at the bigger picture of their financial and timing goals. We repositioned the property with our cutting-edge digital marketing, new staging, and strategic upgrades to highlight what their home had to offer. Rather than hide from the personality of the home, we embraced it. With this data-driven approach to marketing, we attracted a buyer who felt it was their dream home and closed the sale within 2% of list price after 2 years of it sitting on the market. This is the kind of result that comes from combining deep local expertise with modern marketing strategy.
