Buyers and sellers alike work with realtor Charlene Schnall for one reason: her proven track record.
A top-producing broker for the past 26 years throughout the Sonoma County Wine Country and on the Sonoma County Coast, Charlene has negotiated the sale of a wide range of properties including single-family residences, condominiums and commercial and investment properties.
Notable sales include the architecturally significant St. Francis Bennett Valley Road estate, the historic Little Buckhorn and Thundering Herd Ranches in West Sonoma County and Liberty Meadows multi-unit condominium development in Petaluma.
Charlene is a 33-year resident of Sonoma, and her clients look for her insight on local market dynamics, construction and specialty properties such as vineyard, ranch and country estates. Given her own investment experiences and the substantial portfolio of properties she has owned and managed throughout the years, including the historic Chanslor Ranch in Bodega Bay, Charlene helps clients navigate zoning and building code regulations and the complex acquisition process for country properties.
Buyers and sellers alike appreciate Charlene's superb negotiating abilities and her ability to create a comfortable working relationship, as evidenced by her 80 percent repeat customer and referral rate.
This former New York inner city school teacher taught for several years after relocating to Sonoma County and is well versed on the various features of the area's private and public schools. Charlene personally understands all the issues of relocating and uses both her empathy and professional skills to smooth the transition for her many East Coast clients.
A strong advocate of education, Charlene designed and, for the past 14 years, has structured and overseen the environmental education programs of Chanslor Wetlands Wildlife project in Bodega Bay (www.SonomaWetlands.org). These programs work with students from elementary to graduate school level.
