Monticello Dream Homes  - Sharon Monticello Being a FOURTH generation Petaluma resident, I grew up in both East and West Petaluma and know what it takes to sell homes here. It’s time to say welcome home!

The ONLY name you need in real estate! Sharon Monticello, DRE #01321314 Born and raised in the heart of California’s Wine Country, Sharon has seen the beauty of Sonoma County firsthand. She’s proud to be the fourth generation of her family in Petaluma, and she can say with confidence that she lives, breathes, and loves this place. There’s a certain delight to being native to this region, and it’s given her incredible insight into how the area has transformed, or in some cases, remained just as quaint. From the historical residences of Petaluma’s West Side to the spacious modern homes on the East Side, the local real estate landscape is a beautiful place to live. Along with knowing the ins and outs of real estate, she loves being active in her community, whether mentoring local youth or simply strolling along the Petaluma River. Everything she does makes her fall more in love with Petaluma and Sonoma County. Are you ready to fall for Sonoma County? Making dreams come true…one home at a time!

Buying a home in Sonoma County is full of incredible possibilities—but local nuances matter more than you think! 🏡✨

Here are 5 mistakes to avoid:
1️⃣ Ignoring the true commute: 15 miles on a map is very different than 15 miles on Highway 101 or back country roads during peak hours.
2️⃣ Skipping rural due diligence: Well, septic, and land maintenance require careful checks before you make an offer.
3️⃣ Judging a home solely by listing photos: Bad lighting or staging can hide amazing potential—and vice versa!
4️⃣ Not visiting at different times: A neighborhood can feel completely different at 8 AM, 2 PM, and 8 PM.
5️⃣ Working with an agent who doesn’t know the hyper-local market: Sonoma County micro-markets require true local expertise.

Just closed escrow! 🏡🔑
Referred by my wonderful neighbors, my buyers were moving here from LA—and from the minute we met, we instantly connected!
After hours and hours in the car together exploring Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, and Petaluma—plus FaceTime home tours and tons of videos sent their way—they fell in love with a beautiful home in Santa Rosa’s highly sought-after Proctor Terrace neighborhood.
Along the way, a home search turned into a friendship I know will last a lifetime. ❤️
Congratulations to my buyers and forever friends—welcome to Sonoma County!
