This one was a wild ride, but we got it done. Motivated & educated buyers + a touch of my tenacity = in contract before the dust settled after the first Open House. $50k over appraisal ($820k) was the icing on the cake. Sonoma is cool, funky town of 10k people with some really interesting history I enjoyed brushing up on:

– The name Sonoma comes from a Wintun Indian word for “nose,” probably derived from a local Indian chief and tribe. Vallejo’s home (1850) and the restored mission now form the main part of Sonoma State Historic Park

– Legend has it that the region’s native people called the Sonoma Valley the “valley of the moon” because, from certain sacred places, the appears to rise and set seven times behind the peaks of Mayacama Range

– Sonoma is where the first state flag of California was raised, on June 14, 1846, by a band of armed men who rode into town, known as the “Bear Flag Revolt.” Settlers took control of the garrison of Sonoma and imprisoned a Mexican general before hoisting a white flag displaying a grizzly bear and star and declaring an independent Republic of California

– California’s commercial wine industry was founded in Sonoma in 1857
