David Hargreaves | BruingtonHargreaves (formerly Modern Living Sonoma)
I teamed up with Jonathan Bruington in 2023 to create BruingtonHargreaves, a partnership built on one simple idea: Sonoma County real estate deserves a modern, data-driven, and design-forward approach. Together, we’ve become one of Sonoma County’s top-performing real estate teams, combining local expertise with marketing precision that delivers record results.
Based in Healdsburg, our team serves clients across Windsor, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Sonoma, Petaluma, and the Russian River. Whether helping Bay Area buyers find their wine country escape, guiding developers on new construction, or advising investors on vacation rental properties, we approach every transaction with strategy, transparency, and an obsessive focus on results.
About Me
Before real estate, I founded and ran a digital marketing agency working with global brands like Google and Facebook. That background gives me a unique perspective on how to market homes — blending brand storytelling, data analytics, and targeted digital advertising to make sure every listing reaches the right audience. Within three years of becoming an agent, I ranked among Sonoma County’s top producers, earning multiple performance awards along the way.
Originally from the UK, I graduated from Oxford University before moving to California nearly 20 years ago. I now call Healdsburg home with my wife, Nancy. I’m passionate about cycling, food, wine, photography, and wild places — and I bring that same energy and curiosity into helping clients discover their perfect corner of Sonoma County.
