How we ranked Sonoma's agents1
We started with every agent credited as the listing or buyer's agent on at least five closed sales with a Sonoma, CA address in the 12 months from November 12, 2025 to November 9, 2026. That gave a pool of 44 agents. When two agents shared one side of a sale, the price and the side were split evenly between them.
Each agent was then scored on three equally weighted factors, each measured against the top agent in the pool:
- Total Sonoma sales volume (one third): the dollar value of all credited sales.
- Luxury sales volume (one third): the dollar value of credited sales at $3 million and up.
- Average sale price (one third): total volume divided by transaction sides.
The three results are averaged into a score out of 100. The 20 highest scores appear below. Sales that were not credited to an agent in the MLS, such as off-market and public-record-only transfers, are not counted, and members of a team are scored as individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best real estate agent in Sonoma, CA?
On this 2026 ranking, Kristie Eddy of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty scores highest, with $41.19 million in Sonoma sales over 12 months and the highest average sale price in the group. Matt Sevenau and Maurice Tegelaar of Compass rank second and third.
Who should I hire to sell a luxury home in Sonoma?
Kristie Eddy is a strong first call: she co-represented the seller of The Summit, which closed at $38.5 million in August 2026, the highest residential sale ever recorded in Sonoma County. Matt Sevenau, Maurice Tegelaar and Caroline Sebastiani also handle many of the valley's sales at $3 million and up.
Which Sonoma agents work with vineyard and estate properties?
Kristie Eddy represented the buyer of a 37-acre Los Carneros vineyard estate on Napa Road in June 2026, and Caroline Sebastiani and Tina Shone both focus on estate and vineyard property. Mark Stornetta, a former winery CFO, also represents vineyards and land.
Can I sell my Sonoma home off market?
Yes, and many high-end Sonoma sales never appear on the MLS. Kristie Eddy handles much of her business confidentially and off market, which suits sellers who value privacy.
How is this ranking calculated?
Every agent credited on five or more MLS sales with a Sonoma address in the 12 months ending November 9, 2026 gets a score from three equal factors: total sales volume, volume from sales of $3 million and up, and average sale price. Shared transactions are split evenly between co-agents.
Why is this list different from RealTrends?
RealTrends ranks 2025 sales by each agent's office city, so Sonoma sellers working from a Napa office do not appear on its Sonoma list. This page uses the most recent 12 months of sales on Sonoma addresses, wherever the agent's office is.
What is the Sonoma housing market like right now?
Redfin put Sonoma's median sale price at about $1.0 million in October 2026, and RealTrends showed about 95 homes for sale with a median list price near $1.4 million on November 11, 2026. In the 12 months to November 9, 2026, 47 Sonoma homes sold for $3 million or more.
How do real estate commissions work in Sonoma?
Commissions are negotiable and set by written agreement between you and your agent. Sellers agree to their fee in the listing agreement, and since August 2024 buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes.
What is the difference between a listing agent and a buyer's agent?
A listing agent represents the seller by pricing, marketing and negotiating the sale of the home. A buyer's agent represents the buyer by finding homes, writing offers and guiding inspections and closing.
How can I check a Sonoma agent's license?
Search the agent's name or license number on the California Department of Real Estate website. The lookup shows license status, the brokerage the agent works under and any disciplinary history.
