Jonathan Bruington | Healdsburg Real Estate Expert | Luxury Homes & Vacation Rentals
Born and raised in Sonoma County, I’ve spent my life connected to this community and its real estate market. My family’s background in local development, financing, and sales gave me an insider’s perspective long before I became an agent—and that foundation continues to guide my work every day.
As part of BruingtonHargreaves (formerly Modern Living Sonoma), I combine local knowledge with data-driven strategy to deliver exceptional results for every client. Whether you’re selling a wine country estate, buying your first home in Windsor, or investing in a Healdsburg vacation rental, I bring the relationships, insight, and experience that make a difference.
Experience & Expertise
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Pacific Union College with a BBA in Finance and was inducted into the Sigma Beta Delta honor society. Over the past five years, I’ve sold nearly 200 properties valued at over $150 million and been closely involved in more than a dozen renovation and new construction projects. My areas of expertise include luxury homes, vacation rentals, investment properties, and land development throughout Healdsburg, Windsor, Santa Rosa, and the Russian River communities.
What Sets Me Apart
My background in finance means I don’t just facilitate transactions—I help clients understand the investment, the opportunity cost, and the long-term value. Having managed multiple renovation and development projects myself, I know what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to help clients navigate the complexities of building or remodeling in Sonoma County.
