Sullivan Group - Real Estate

Why does every Realtor in town suddenly have this home on their tour list? 👀

Maybe it’s the pool + spa.
Maybe it’s the FOUR bedrooms.
Maybe it’s the beautifully remodeled bathrooms.
Maybe it’s the fact that farm-to-table can literally mean your own backyard.

Or maybe it’s because 296 W Thomson Avenue in Sonoma is one of those homes where the photos are good… but seeing it in person is SO much better.

Bright interiors, multiple living spaces, a beautiful fireplace, updated appliances, solar, mature landscaping—and then you walk outside to a backyard that feels like your own Sonoma retreat.

Pool day? Covered.
Dinner outside? Obviously.
Picking tonight’s ingredients from your own backyard? Casual.

Okay Realtors, we get the hype. 😂

Come see what everyone’s been talking about at our Open House this Saturday, 10/3 from 1–3 PM.

Or, if you’re curious now, comment “HOME” and we’ll send you the details + a little behind-the-scenes scoop on this one. 👀

And just like that… my year as President of BNI Next Level is officially in the books 🥹

And what a freaking year it has been!

Personally and professionally, this year has been a wild ride. This role stretched me, taught me A LOT, and gave me a whole new appreciation for what can happen when you get 75 entrepreneurs from completely different businesses, backgrounds and personalities in a room—and actually get everyone in the game.

When I stepped into this role, one of my biggest goals was to create more participation and recognition within our chapter.

Because BNI may be built around referrals, but it runs on relationships—and that only works when people participate. Show up. Have the 1-to-1. Send the referral. Celebrate someone else’s win. Invite someone new into the room. And occasionally go along with whatever slightly ridiculous challenge your president comes up with 😉

I’ve been asked a lot lately what I think made this term so successful, and my answer has been the same every time: my leadership team.

They didn’t just take on titles—they showed up, bought in, brought ideas, took ownership and genuinely cared about making this chapter better. Together we created referral and 1-to-1 challenges, hosted some seriously fun events, and held five growth-focused Power Days to highlight incredible businesses and welcome new people into our community.

And while we do A LOT of business together, some of my favorite memories had nothing to do with sitting around a table at 7 AM.

Women’s Sphere brunches. Halloween shenanigans. Our holiday party. Business development and education. Soooo many coffee dates. Celebrating birthdays by dressing up as each other 😂. And learning that corralling 75 entrepreneurs at 7 AM should probably qualify as its own professional skill.

There is just SO much personality in this group—and so much to learn from each other when you actually take the time to connect.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supported me, participated, trusted my ideas, rolled with the experiments, and had a little patience with me along the way. And to my leadership team—you guys SHOWED UP, and this year is proof of what can happen when the right people are committed to doing something together.

And somehow, in the middle of all the fun, coffee, costumes, events, referrals, 1-to-1s and early Wednesday mornings… we quite literally took Next Level to the next level.

Over the last 12 months, our chapter shared more than $12 MILLION in closed business. 🤯

That’s $12 million generated through relationships, referrals, trust and a whole lot of people choosing to support each other’s businesses. Pretty freaking incredible.

I’m really dang proud of what we accomplished together, grateful for everything this year taught me, and officially ready to pass the torch to the next crew!

What a year🥂

You do this job long enough and you completely lose sight of what’s considered “normal” 😂

Things that wouldn’t even make us think twice somehow sound slightly unhinged when you say them out loud to someone who doesn’t work in real estate.

But when your days are spent helping people make one of the biggest purchases (or sales) of their lives, you end up doing A LOT of things that definitely weren’t in the job description.

And somehow… this doesn’t even scratch the surface.

Fellow real estate people, what are we missing? And everyone else — which one would have you questioning our career choice? 😂⬇️

A good cause + an excuse to get dressed up? Say less. ✨

We had such a great time at Alliance Medical Center’s Denim & Dazzle: The Golden Gala celebrating 55 years of care right here in Northern Sonoma County!

Sullivan Group was proud to be one of this year’s sponsors, and Julie also had a hand in helping bring the event together behind the scenes.

Healthcare workers are one of the groups we’re lucky enough to serve through our Homeownership for Heroes program, so supporting an event that gives back to our local healthcare community made this one extra special.

Good food, plenty of sparkle, lots of familiar faces, and so many local businesses and community members showing up for a great cause. 🤍

We love getting to be part of nights like this and giving back to the community we’re lucky enough to call home!

Sonoma County, but make it happy hour 🍸

We gave some of our favorite local spots a cocktail based on their personality, their real estate, and just a tiny bit of friendly judgment 😂

And yes, we already know some of you are going to have opinions.

So tell us: did we nail your city, or what cocktail should it ACTUALLY be? 👇

Bonus points if you can give us the description too.

POV: your house came with a putting green and still cost under $700K. ⛳️

Single-story, move-in ready, low-maintenance, and right in Rohnert Park.

4984 Fern Place is making your house hunt a little more interesting.

Now tag the person you’re beating on the putting green. 👇

The best compliment we can get? “That was way easier than I thought it would be.”

Because there are about a million little things that happen between “I think we’re ready to sell” and handing over the keys.

Our goal is for you to never feel like you’re juggling all million of them.

Need a painter, cleaner or handyman? We have a person for that. Getting ready to hit the market? We’re coordinating photos, video, marketing and getting your home in front of our database before the sign even goes up.

Once showings start, we’re following up, gathering feedback and keeping you updated on everything along the way.

And if your home doesn’t sell right away, we don’t just let it sit. We look at what’s happening, switch things up and keep finding new ways to get eyes on it.

To us, THAT’S a first-class listing experience. You know what’s happening, you know what comes next and you have a whole team helping you get there.

We know selling a home is a big deal, and we want you to feel like you’re in really good hands through all of it. 🤍

POV: you ask us what we’re working on today and immediately regret asking 😂

There’s always a listing getting ready to launch, a seller waiting on an update, showing feedback to chase down, something that needs to be filmed, a closing around the corner and approximately 47 tabs open between the three of us.

Somehow, it all gets done. And then someone says, “Wait… we have another listing coming up.”

Thinking about making a move? Come be one of the things taking up space in our brains. We’ve got room for you. 😂

If you’ve said “we don’t even use half this house” more than once lately… this post might be for you.

At some point, you realize you’re heating rooms no one uses, cleaning spaces no one sits in, and spending your weekends keeping up with a house that made perfect sense 10 or 20 years ago.

That doesn’t mean you suddenly need to stick a For Sale sign in the yard.

But it might be worth figuring out what a move could actually look like. Could you stay in the same area? Find something single story? Have less yard to deal with? And would the numbers even make sense?

If this is sounding a little too familiar, COMMENT “DOWNSIZE.” We’ll help you get a better idea of what your home could sell for, what your next move could look like, and whether the numbers make sense before you make any decisions.

Your house worked for that chapter. Let’s figure out what works for the next one.
