Why we recommend Peter Colbert for Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa is a large market with a wide price range. Redfin counted 423 sales in the city in the three months to September 2026 at a median of $714,660, but the median in ZIP 95404 was $842,432 and in 95407 $654,808. At the top of the market, rural parcels with wells, septic systems, vineyards or long private roads need an agent who has handled them before.
That is where Peter Colbert's record is strongest. His Compass profile says his experience covers wineries, second homes, remodels and raw land purchases "where water and septic issues need detailed understanding," and his team's 2025 sales averaged $1.41 million a home on RealTrends. He also lists Santa Rosa as his hometown and runs his team's office from 4th Street in Santa Rosa. This is our recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in the city: interview more than one agent before you sign.
