A different path, recognized.
Vanguard Properties has been named the West Coast (Under 1,000 Agents) winner at the Exhibit Brand Awards, announced at The Gathering in Austin.
We’ve always believed that brand isn’t just how something looks. It’s how it works, how it feels, and how consistently it shows up. This recognition reflects a team that cares deeply about getting every detail right, and a company that’s never been interested in doing things the expected way.
Independent by Design. Still moving forward.

If it’s for sale, it shouldn’t be a secret.
Zillow Preview is changing how listings come to market, giving pre-market homes broader exposure earlier in the process.
We’re proud that Vanguard Properties is among the first to participate, helping our sellers gain more visibility and our buyers get a head start.
Smarter exposure. Stronger results.

There’s a certain kind of leadership that leaves a lasting impact: thoughtful, forward-looking, creative, and deeply grounded in relationships.
Today, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate two agents whose work continues to embody exactly that.
Congratulations to Philip Farr and Rachel Hazlett-Karr on being named 2026 Inman Future Leaders — a national recognition honoring rising voices shaping the future of real estate.
Both of these individuals represent the kind of leadership that moves this industry forward: innovative, design-minded, deeply human, and never content to follow the expected path. Their businesses are built not only on results, but on relationships, originality, and an unwavering commitment to their clients and communities.
We couldn’t be more excited to see their work recognized on a national stage.
Congratulations, Philip & Rachel — this honor is incredibly well deserved. ✨

Happy Mother's Day to every mom building the place her loved ones come home to.
We recently had the honor of helping the LaKose family close on their dream waterfront home in Bel Marin Keys. Two grown daughters, a golden retriever, the sweetest cat, and a sunset lawn that is theirs now. The kind of place kids come back to, even after they've found their own way in the world.
That is what we get to be part of. Helping families create a home that becomes the place everyone gravitates toward, the one that holds the celebrations, the summers, and the people they love most.
To all the moms creating that kind of home, happy Mother's Day.

✨ KATYA’S HOUSE TOUR: 249 Coleridge Street — Bernal Heights, San Francisco 🌿🏛️
Darlings, Auntie Katya does not use the word stately lightly. But a circa-1896 Victorian corner condo, detached on three sides, with 10.5-foot ceilings, original plaster medallions, and a preserved carved-wood fireplace? STATELY. And then some. 💅
This is Bernal Heights at its absolute best — warm, walkable (Walk Score 99!), and utterly charming. The updates are intentional and designer-grade throughout: a new roof, a dreamy 2023 bath remodel with Japanese bidet and rain shower, an externally vented gas range using the original brick chimney, a newly lit walk-in pantry, restored original floors, and LED-lit closets because even the storage deserves to glow.
And then there’s the garden. 300+ square feet of private outdoor space — bamboo, Japanese maple, jasmine, and a BBQ — deeded to this unit and accessed right off the kitchen. In San Francisco. I’ll wait. 🌸

Oh, by the way, we are never too busy for your referrals!
Happy to celebrate a Bennett Valley closing that came together well for both sides. It was a privilege to represent both buyer and seller and help navigate a thoughtful agreement that served both parties well.
What I love about this work is helping people move through big decisions with clarity and trust. Bringing this together took thoughtful conversation, care, and a lot of coordination—and I’m grateful to have been part of it.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Sonoma County and want strategic guidance, I’m always happy to be a resource. Send me a message.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Historically marking Mexico's victory in the Battle of Puebla, Cinco de Mayo has evolved over time into a broader celebration of Mexico's culture and heritage. We hope your day is filled with great food, music, and a thriving sense of community.

Lamorinda Market Update | Q1 2026
Lamorinda kicked off 2026 with a strong pickup in activity, led by a sharp increase in closed sales and tightening inventory. Closed sales surged 29.7% year over year while inventory dropped 29.3%, creating a more competitive environment. With fewer homes available, properties are continuing to move quickly, holding at just 9 days on market. This is a supply story as much as a demand story. When the right home comes up, buyers are acting fast. Zooming out, the backdrop continues to support housing. Stock markets remain strong, rates have been dropping over the past few weeks, and buyer confidence is returning. The takeaway is simple: demand is high, supply is tight, and Lamorinda is entering the spring from a position of strength.
