Why we recommend David Hargreaves and Jonathan Bruington for Healdsburg
Healdsburg is a slow, thin market. Redfin counted 38 sales in the city in the three months to September 2026, with a median of $1,049,500 and a median of 63 days on market. In a market that small, an agent's own recent sales in town are the best guide to pricing. RealTrends, which verifies agent production, ranked this team first in Healdsburg in 2025 by both sales volume and transaction sides.
The team works from an office on Healdsburg Avenue and a second office in Windsor, and both partners hold active California salesperson licenses with no disciplinary action on the Department of Real Estate (DRE) record. That combination of a Healdsburg base, a verified 2025 record and clean licenses is why we feature them here. It is our recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in the city, so interview more than one agent before you sign.

Jonathan Bruington's background in Sonoma County
The team's About page says Jonathan Bruington was born and raised in Sonoma County, in a family involved in local development, financing and sales, and that he holds a finance degree from Pacific Union College. It credits him with more than 300 properties sold and over $300 million in career sales, and with work on more than a dozen renovation and new construction projects. We could not confirm the career totals on an independent page, so treat them as the team's own figures.
David Hargreaves's background before real estate
According to the same page, David Hargreaves grew up in the UK, earned a degree from Oxford University and moved to the United States nearly 20 years ago. He founded and ran a digital marketing agency before moving into real estate, and the page says he focuses on luxury homes and vacation rental properties, often for Bay Area buyers and sellers.

The team's record: 2025 sales and reviews
RealTrends 2025 results for BruingtonHargreaves
RealTrends' verified 2025 profile for the team lists 62.25 transaction sides and $77.19 million in sales volume. That ranked the team first in Healdsburg by volume and by sides, 199th in California by volume and 102nd by sides, and 575th nationally by volume, in the small-team category. The profile lists W Real Estate as the company and LeadingRE as its network. The team's website gives the same year as 62 transactions and over $77.2 million in Sonoma County sales.
The team's website says W Real Estate sellers achieve 100.4% of list price, a brokerage-wide figure rather than the team's own. The team reports 119 client reviews with a five-star average and five consecutive years as W Real Estate's agents of the year. We could not open a public page that confirms those two claims, so ask the team for the underlying numbers and the review links. We do not quote reviews we could not read in full.
How the team works with Healdsburg buyers and sellers
Buying in Healdsburg with BruingtonHargreaves
Healdsburg buyers usually choose between a home near the Plaza or the Mill District and more land on Fitch Mountain or toward the Dry Creek Valley, where fire hazard zones and insurance carry more weight. Redfin's three-month figures show homes selling at 98.7% of list price on average, with 5.3 months of supply. Ask the team which recent sales they would use to justify an offer, how they handle fire-zone disclosures and insurance quotes, and how much room they expect for credits after inspection.
Selling in Healdsburg with BruingtonHargreaves
New listings in the city were up 30% on a year earlier in that Redfin period, while sales were down 28%, so sellers are competing for fewer buyers. Ask the team for a written marketing plan, their recent days on market in Healdsburg against the citywide 63-day median, and their list-to-sale record on homes like yours. Our California real estate commission guide explains what listing fees cover and what is negotiable.
