Selling in the North Bay
Sell your Napa home with a plan, not a guess.
Dean and his business partner Ted Stumpf price from real comps, prepare your home to show its best, and launch it to the buyers and agents who matter. You get both of them on every step.
How we sell
Five steps from first visit to closing.
-
A walk-through and a real price
We visit your home, then build a market analysis from recent nearby sales. Every adjustment is explained line by line, so you see exactly how we reached the number.
-
Inspections that fit your home
We recommend the pre-listing inspections that are relevant to your property. Knowing the issues up front lets you decide what to fix, what to disclose and how to price, instead of renegotiating after an offer.
-
Preparation that pays off
A lifetime of reimagining homes means practical advice on which repairs and updates are worth it, and which aren't. We coordinate trusted local trades if you need them.
-
A launch buyers notice
Professional photography and video walkthroughs, then a coordinated MLS, broker tour and open-house launch so agents and buyers see your home in its first days on the market.
-
Negotiation through closing
We review every offer with you, negotiate firm but fair terms, and manage inspections, appraisal and deadlines until the keys change hands.
The hospitality difference
Twenty-five years of putting guests first.
Before real estate, Dean and Ted both built careers in Napa Valley hospitality. That shows up in how they run a sale: clear communication, no surprises, and attention to the small details that make a home feel right to a buyer.
It also shows up with other agents. They work collaboratively, which helps deals hold together when it counts.
- Regular updates on showings, feedback and market activity
- One point of contact who always picks up, with a second agent backing every detail
- A deep network of agents from Dean’s director roles on local and statewide industry boards and active association work
What sellers say
Prepared, responsive and on your side.
“Dean and Ted were exceptionally knowledgeable about the current market and provided unwavering support during the sale of our parents’ home. … Their expertise in managing an estate within a trust was clear. … They helped us weigh the pros and cons of potential upgrades, ultimately selling the home in just 20 days with an excellent offer and a smooth 21-day escrow.”
“For our first meeting, he prepared a comprehensive analysis of our home and the market conditions. It was full of data and incredibly helpful for setting our sale price. … And, he knew where to find the buyers.”
“We were grieving the loss of our Mom, had a lot to do to get the place ready for the market and didn’t live in the area … Dean helped us identifying and managing vendors and just generally had a can-do attitude.”
“Working with Ted and Dean on selling our home was a great experience. … Willing to sit and run through the entire process, answer all of our questions and discuss all of our options for the best way to present our home and sell it quickly.”
“Always respectful of our privacy when setting up open houses or setting up appointments for individual buyers wishing to view the home throughout the sale process.”
“Both Dean and Ted were great to work with. They were very helpful and professional with putting our condo up for sale and doing final sale. I would recommend them to both buyers and sellers.”
