Meet Timothy

There's a reason Timothy Hedges is the first name people mention when real estate comes up in West Sonoma County. A top-producing luxury homes real estate agent in Sebastopol, California, Timothy has spent 23+ years helping clients find their place here, having managed, overseen, and sold more than $1 billion in career sales across over 2,000 transactions in Sebastopol, Graton, Occidental, Freestone, Bodega, Forestville, Santa Rosa, and Petaluma. Personally, he has closed more than 250 transactions and $300 million in sales volume.

Known for his grounded presence, deep market knowledge, and refined yet down-to-earth style, Timothy has quietly built one of the strongest track records in the region's upper market. He holds the record for the highest-priced non-vineyard home sold in Sebastopol, at $5 million, and set a new price-per-square-foot benchmark in West Petaluma with a $3.3 million sale at over $1,400 per square foot. He ranks among the top 10 agents by sales volume in West Sonoma County, results built not on flash, but on integrity, consistency, and genuine relationships.

His peers have trusted him to lead, too. Timothy is a past president of the North Bay Association of Realtors (NORBAR), past president of the Sebastopol Chapter of Realtors, and a former director of the California Association of Realtors. He previously owned and operated his own brokerage and now proudly works under the Vanguard Properties banner, one of the region's leading firms, where he has earned Top Producer recognition 13 years running.

Born and raised in the East Bay, Timothy has a deep appreciation for the richness and culture of the area, and it's given him a natural feel for what East Bay buyers are looking for, whether they're after a second home in wine country or making Sonoma County their primary residence. Timothy has deep love and respect for his upbringing between Oakland and Berkely and in his 20s fell in love with Sonoma County's ocean air, Gravenstein apple orchards, warm afternoons, and cool evenings, and chose to make it home for good. He lives in Graton with his wife and two children and remains active in local schools and real estate.

That rootedness is his clients' quiet advantage. Decades of relationships with fellow top agents, the local business community, and longtime residents give Timothy's clients insider access to a market where the best opportunities often never make it online.

Whether it's a bohemian compound, a modern estate, a coastal retreat, a vineyard, or a farmhouse tucked into the hills, Timothy understands the lifestyle his clients are seeking, many coming to Sonoma County for more space, more nature, and more community. He guides each one with care, discretion, and the kind of expertise that only comes from being truly embedded in this place.

With Timothy, you find not just a Realtor, but a thoughtful advisor, a fierce advocate, and someone who truly cares about getting it right.
