Hedge Realty - Luxury Specialists in the North Bay

Fantastic experience: Tim and his associate, Dina, were terrific in helping me find the right house for me. They were patient and not pushy - something I very much valued. They helped me to check out places online when my own schedule got in the way. And when the time came to make an offer, I really felt like they were partners and had my best interests in mind through the whole thing. It also felt like they had a deep knowledge of the housing in Sonoma County - good areas and neighborhoods, sort of a holistic view of the entire purchase. I felt like it was all a really good experience, especially given the stress involved when purchasing a new home! I will not hesitate to recommend Tim & Dina to anyone who might be looking to purchase in Sonoma County.

Fantastic experience: Every step of the way, the folks at Hedge have been beyond professional...they are Experts at what they do!! I have bought and sold a number of homes in my 70 years, but I have never been involved in a transaction that was so strategic and so well run!! Our little beach house sold in 1 week, with multiple offers over asking price! So, everything about dealing with Hedge was a Big Win; for us, the buyers and the folks at Hedge! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Tim, was always there when I needed him. He gave me very good advice and help me understand the market and its current value. He was very patient and always came with a smile. The whole process has gotten so complicated with regulations and other requirements, he guided me through all of them. Nothing was missed. Everything was paid attention to. He also has a very good support system with all the experts and other expertise needed to buy a home these days.

Fantastic experience: One year later, Hedge Realty has proven exactly why they stand out. Alexa and Tim run a team of authentic, community‑focused professionals who treat every client with the same level of care, no matter the price point. Even after closing, their support and dedication to client satisfaction have never wavered.

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience working with Tim Little at Hedge Realty in Petaluma. From the beginning, Tim was thoughtful, responsive, and truly invested in helping us succeed. First, he guided us through placing a strong contingent offer on our next home, which was secured smoothly and confidently. From there, he expertly handled the sale of our home—pricing it strategically and negotiating a remarkable offer that exceeded our expectations. Throughout the entire process, communication was clear, consistent, and collaborative. We always felt supported and informed. Tim and his team, Shawn and Alexa, bring both professionalism and genuine care to their work. We highly recommend Hedge Realty and Tim Little to anyone buying or selling in the Petaluma and surrounding areas in beautiful Sonoma County.

Fantastic experience: Tim and Alexa recently sold my West Petaluma property and helped me purchase my new Sebastopol property in the span of 3 months, BOTH off market. Why make a point of mentioning both properties traded off market? Because it speaks to the depths of Tim & Alexa's connections in the Sonoma County real estate scene and the West County market in particular. Between both transactions we experienced the entire gamut of issues and challenges that come with selling and purchasing large country properties. Tim, Alexa and the team at Hedge made for very calm and competent partners. Tim and Alexa compliment each other quite well in both their strengths and temperaments and having two brokers represent the deals meant they were always available and accommodating to my needs and the demands of each transaction. I would highly recommend using them!

Fantastic experience: Tim was awesome to work with from listing to close and I can't recommend him enough for anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Sonoma County. When deciding on an agent to sell my Petaluma house I reached out to my network on recommendations and he was referred by a mutual friend. The entire process went smoothly with professional guidance and recommendations along the way. Communication was solid and there was truly a collaborative approach which I greatly appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Great people and amazing to work with!!!

Fantastic experience: This team is beyond AMAZING!!! Tim and Alexa greeted us, truly listened to our story, and helped us navigate the process of preparing our home for sale and finding the perfect buyers. The entire hedge team was marvelous to work with and were with us every step of the way. They marketed our home in such a beautiful and stylish way it really emphasized the specialness of the property in a way I dont think other realators do. Everything Tim and Alexa do is above and beyond. I could not recommend this team more. My only regret now that our house is sold is that I cant see more of them as they are just such delights to work with. Bravo team Hedge!

Fantastic experience: Alexa and Tim are amazing! We have purchased several homes over the years with them, and they are kind, smart, honest and have so much integrity. We have truly LOVED having them as realtors.

Fantastic experience: I could not love and respect Hedge more. Navigating the tumult of selling and buying simultaniously is an art and these folk are the masters. Run, do not walk to work with them. Its only the most important purchase of ones life .. when everything is on the line you need to be supported, represented and managed ... go with Hedge!!!!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Tim to buy our first home in Petaluma and we had a great experience. Tim was knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. Without being pushy, Tim identified and brought us to see the home that eventually became ours. He also walked us through the process of making an offer and was honest and helpful. The Hedge team did a great job making something stressful more fun and manageable.

Fantastic experience: Tim and Alexa are absolutely amazing! Hedge realty excels in communication, execution (getting things done), and in relationship building. My husband, 7 year old daughter, and I live with our parents. We sold our house in Mill Valley because of mobility issues and multiple floors. We also love the country and wanted more space for our family. We were looking for a home in Petaluma that had one story main living for our parents. Both Tim and Alexa treated us like family. We reached out to Hedge realty to view a specific house. Alexa called us back right away and met us that weekend to view the house. She was so easy to talk to and we felt comfortable and at ease with her. LOL We then worked through her partner Tim to place an offer on the property. My husband and I love to be a part of the entire buying process and had lots of questions. Tim was so patient with us. He also advocated on our behalf on pricing. We didn’t think we were going to get the house within our price range, but it happened! All thanks to the sellers, market conditions, and Tim. Tim is also a strong communicator and works quickly to get things done. Huge brownie points because that’s how my husband and I work and it was such a smooth process because of this. After the transaction went through both Alexa and Tim helped us with finding more about local schools and after school dance and theater programs for our daughter. One thing I will always remember was when I met Tim in person. He gave me a big hug and congratulated us on the house. It truly felt like we were family and you could feel the relief, warmth, and joy in his voice for us. A true empath. We are so happy with the process and can’t thank them enough. They are a unique team that is hard to come by. You won’t find a better realty company than Hedge!

Fantastic experience: I met Tim and Alexa when they sold me my house in 2023. I was incredibly impressed with them at that time. After I moved into the home, I contacted Alexa a few times about some items that the seller had left behind. She took care of those items immediately. When I decided to sell my house late last year, there was no question in my mind that I would work with Alexa and Tim. They were honest and very communicated through the entire process. The economy in which I sold, my house was unnerving to many (April 2025), but they stuck with me through it all. They were always responsive, kind, and listened as I was learning about selling in the type of market I have not experienced. I would highly recommend them as a team, and appreciate all the support they have behind them to close transactions.

Fantastic experience: We just closed on a condo with Alexa and Tim's amazing assistance. Peter and I were referred to Alexa when we sold our house in Marin and wanted to move to Petaluma. Alexa responds to all requests in a timely and "I got this!" manner. She also pays attention to the details and supported our need for answers as first-time condo owners. Tim and Alexa work well as a team and do not let the process stall. Their other staff member Shawn is responsive and great to work with as well. Peter and I would gladly work with Alexa and Tim again!

Fantastic experience: The Hedge Realty team went above and beyond my expectations! Tim Little and his team made the overwhelming task of selling my Mom’s home, incredibly seamless from start to finish. From the time I reached out to Hedge Realty I knew it was the right fit! I was put at ease and kept in the loop throughout. I put my trust in them and in their expertise, they did not disappoint. Truly everyone was heaven sent!

Fantastic experience: Alexa and Tim are exceptional professionals. Their support (and they work seamlessly as a team) and guidance was invaluable in getting us the house we wanted. They got an offer in at 10:30 p.m. on a Saturday night while I was out of state which was too clean for the seller to pass up. They kept me accountable in getting my requirements handled and worked with my bridge loan company to make sure our deal went through. They are currently supporting me with the sale of my previous home and I have to say, there is no other broker / agent out there that puts together anything close to the marketing product they do. They know how to sell a home. I will not consider any other professionals to work with.

Fantastic experience: Alexa, Tim, and their whole team are really amazing. True professionals that listen and understand their clients. They were a recommendation from friends and we sure are happy we got it. Alexa will work to make sure your best interests are represented. They will help you navigate the real estate market and are so well connected in the community. Our project wasn't a small one, and they had no issues tackling the scale, the tight timeline, coordinating the parties involved and ensuring we closed on time. There are a lot of decisions to make when it comes to purchasing or selling real estate, and who represents you is a really important one to make. I can't recommend enough if you are in Sonoma County, go with Hedge Realty.

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about the experience I had with Hedge Realty. Throughout the process of selling our home, we decided that we would be openminded and follow the advice of Alexa and her team, even though at times it was counter to our instincts. We hadn't sold a house since the 1980's and so working with a group of people who made us feel like we could do what we wanted, were there to talk us through all the fears and anxieties that accompany the life changing act of selling a home we'd lived in for over 30 years was nothing short of a miracle. The result of trusting them was that we sold our home within a week of it going on the market, we sold it for more than we had listed it for, and we felt excited about the people who bought it as well. Can't get any better than that!!

Fantastic experience: We have had the pleasure of working with Alexa and her incredible team twice in the past four years. Alexa is more than "just a real estate broker" she is a trusted confidante guiding you through one of the biggest purchases and sales of your life. She and her team are an army of angels who are there to help you with a multitude of resources to help you prepare your home and frankly your head for sale. They are professional, smart, savvy and uber responsive...and they are lovely people that are just good humans. Call them, they are the good guys in this business.

Fantastic experience: I am very happy to have found Jenny Belforte at Hedge Realty. My husband and I had an idea of what we were looking for when purchasing a lot to build our new home and Jenny was very attentive to our desires. We found more options than we expected and team Hedge made it happen. A seamless and stress free purchase. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience when making our “life change”. Thank you for your professionalism.

Fantastic experience: Tim Little is the best!! He knows the Sonoma County area and patiently showed me property after property, listening to my wishes, and found me the perfect place to settle. As someone who has not moved in 30 years, he helped me navigate all the virtual forms and decisions I had to make, and made securing the best deal easy. I can't say enough about my experience!

Fantastic experience: Alexa and her team always went above and beyond to help us find properties, educate us about the market, and offer resources for any and all of our needs once we settled on a property! Moving through the buying process was about as stress-free as I could have hoped for. Alexa was always optimistic, and never put pressure on to consider things that weren't really a good fit for us. It took us awhile to find what we wanted (just over a year) and Alexa was there for the whole ride. We are very grateful to her, and recommend her and her partner Tim to anyone looking for a property in and around Petaluma, CA.

Fantastic experience: The team at Hedge Realty was amazing! They were professional, proactive, and knowledgeable in helping me sell my house. I needed help to finish getting the house prepared to put on the market, and the team had many great resources to move things along efficiently. I loved working with Alexa and Tim, along with their assistants and staff, and my house sold in under two weeks for a great price. I highly recommend Hedge Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Sonoma County.

Fantastic experience: Hedge Realty surpassed all of our expectations with fantastic communication (daily updates), great advice about market awareness and timing, pricing, and a positive, can-do attitude. Their whole team was a joy to work with and we just wish they could run our personal lives as well as our real estate needs!! Would recommend them (& we have:) in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience: Tim and his team were awesome! Patient, thorough and enjoyable people to work with. Thank you for listening to what I was looking for and putting in the work to find the perfect home. I also appreciate that any question, detail or matter was addressed promptly. I moved into my home confident I had the information I needed. Thanks again Tim, and I have already referred people to you. Best, Jackson

Fantastic experience: I worked with Tim Little's team. They were very professional and went above and beyond to cover my requests and needs. Tim was wonderful to work with, maintained a constant and open communication, he understood what I was looking for and made the process of purchasing my dream home easy and enjoyable. I will not hesitate to work with Tim again in the future.

Fantastic experience: Alexandra Costello with Hedge Realty helped me navigate selling my fathers home in Petaluma in late 2022. I could not have asked for a better Realtor! Her communication and attentiveness throughout the sale was top notch. I highly recommend Alex if you are buying or selling!

Fantastic experience: Tim made the home buying process so seamless and fun at the same time. He was honest with me about the fixer upper I was purchasing and he provided the local expertise/knowledge that I needed. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Tim and his team were exceptional! They were very professional, responsive and well informed. I would whole heartedly recommend Tim and his team!

Fantastic experience: I can not say enough good things about Tim Little and his team! They are so amazing at what they do and their professionalism is outstanding! Highly recommend Tim and his team at Hedge Realty!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be more grateful for the team at Hedge Realty. Everyone was extremely supportive, accommodating and professional. Looking for a home can be extremely stressful and to have people around you who understand your needs and the process is such a gift. I feel like I will forever be a part of the Hedge family

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much Tim Little and team at Hedge Realty in Petaluma. I love my new home (and City) and thankful to you all for helping me through the process. True thoughtful and experienced professionals. Lucky to have you represent me!

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about our experience with Tim and the team at Hedge Realty. We were waist deep in an EXTREMELY competitive and high pressure buying environment and Tim navigated the challenges with ease. His steady hand got us into our dream house and we’ll always be grateful for the way he supported us and our family. Go with Hedge so you don’t risk missing out on the home that can change your life!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and expertise! This is the 3rd time Tim has been my realtor for both buying and selling a property and I couldn’t be happier! With his knowledge, network of resources and experience we were able to get multiple offers and sold over asking. He was there guiding us through the whole process and gave us space and time when we needed it. Once in escrow he made the process stress free on our side while we focused on moving and we knew that everything was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Hedge for any Sonoma County (and beyond!) needs.

Fantastic experience: We had such an amazing experience with Tim from Hedge Realty! His professional demeanor, quickness to respond, and motivation to satisfy and delight us as his clients was above and beyond what we expected from a real estate agent. He anticipated our questions and was able to astutely answer them, which made it obvious that he has great knowledge of the industry that he's in. We got the home we wanted and we believe that it was only possible because Tim was our representation. Needless to say, we will and have, referred all friends and family to Tim Little because we know that they would be taken care of.

Fantastic experience: Tim has been such an amazing resource in the home buying process. He has helped my brother and myself in guiding us through the unknown of buying a new home. He is friendly, honest and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Tim is amazing at what he does! He has represented my husband and I in multiple real estate purchases and in each one made us feel confident in the process. He knows what it takes to put in a strong offer. When negotiations got dicey on our last real estate purchase because of multiple other strong offers enticing the sellers to continue to negotiate, he navigated the situation with ease and kept our best interests at heart and we were able to complete the transaction without increasing our offer. When we decided to sell our first home he gave us similarly great advice on timing of when to list and connected us with a team of people to help us get everything in order to make our house present well for photos and potential buyers in a short time frame. We ended up receiving multiple offers over the asking price and closed the transaction seamlessly. While Tim is superior at what he does on a business level - on a personal level he is a true joy to be around and a gem of a human. If we ever buy or sell again, he will be the first person we call. He is truly the best!

Fantastic experience: I am a lifetime client of Hedge!

Fantastic experience: Alexa and Tim were the best. Tim gave us instructions on how to stage our home and Alexa was there for beck and call. She is very gracious, generous and willing to help us out with just about anything. Our photographer was a hoot. Very accommodating and super easy to work with. The pictures were smashing. The website was stellar. We had a quick sale and closing. Thank you Alexa and Staff!

Fantastic experience: Wow! We are so happy with our experience with Hedge Realty. Shawn Norlin and Tim Little were amazing, meticulously guiding us through all the steps in buying a house. We were adamant in buying a house in Fairfax, and they were so supportive and patient in the process, always listening to our concerns or hesitations in what is a very challenging and competitive market. It was really Hedge Realty that was able to leverage their local relationships to secure our property for us as first time owners! Thank you again for everything you did for us!

Fantastic experience: Hedge Realty embraced our family and took the time to understand our vision. Then they made it a reality. We have a big family and have moved many times. Finding a home is a very emotional journey. We have never before experienced the care and attention that Tim and Alexa bring to their work as realtors. They listen, calmly solve problems, and operate ethically in a difficult business. We could not more highly recommend them as stewards of your future home.

Fantastic experience: We loved working with Alexa and Tim to sell our home! They gave us great advice, stayed in contact but never pressured us, and helped us to navigate the entire process. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience: Working with Alexa and Tim of Hedge Reality was a pleasurable and fruitful experience. Their expertise and contacts made the process of “getting my house ready for sale” easy and much quicker than I’d imagined possible. The pictures Adam took were wonderful, they made the house look better than I remembered. The whole process of deciding to sell, getting the property ready and the sale (almost 200K over asking) took little more than 6 weeks.

Fantastic experience: Tim helped us find the perfect house! He gave us great guidance and advice as first time home buyers. We were so happy with Hedge Realty and would use then again in the future.

Fantastic experience: Working with Tim and his team is everything you could hope for in the scary world of real estate. From the initial meeting to the staging and on to the close of the transaction, we were so well taken care of by all. Tim is knowledgeable and professional with the added bonus of being genuine and down-to-earth. We aren’t exactly real estate moguls, but he never made us feel out of our lane in terms of understanding the process. Timely and thorough communication, prompt at scheduling and follow-through, these lovely people run a very efficient show! We have bought and sold property at separate times with Tim and it honestly felt much easier than I think it’s supposed to, thanks to the team at Hedge. I could say many more good things, but you get the idea.

Fantastic experience: Tim walked us through a quick and easy house sale, helped us to make decisions and since we were relocating to a new state after 27 years in one home, his team was instrumental in offering support. We were supported throughout the process, the team went above and beyond to provide oversight while getting the home ready for sale were completed, and we were already out of the area. Received above ask and highly recommend Tim Little and Hedge Realty!

Fantastic experience: Tim is very professional and was great with helping us sell our property. He was always there for any questions that we had and I would highly recommend him for not only selling but also buying a home.

Fantastic experience: Tim and his team were referred to us by one of my close childhood friends and Real Estate Agents in our hometown of San Jose, Ca. My wife and I desired an investment property in Wine Country and with that, we needed local knowledge of a smart investment within a desired community. Tim and his team worked diligently but also patiently with us as we combed through multiple markets to suit our investment needs. Tim and his team found an incredible property that we enjoy as a family but also make a decent return each month to offset upkeep costs. We are thankful for Hedge Realty and would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Tim is an incredible resource. He's knowledgeable , patient, and has helped us so much. Many thanks and congrats on Hedge.

Fantastic experience: Tim worked with us on the sale of our home, making it a seamless experience. We would recommend Tim for his expert knowledge of the area and his skilled guidance and expertise in the complexities of real estate.

Fantastic experience: Tim was heaven sent to me! I had a very complicated purchase...Reverse to Purchase, then Cash. Without Tim advocating for me, I am sure that I would not have been able to purchase my Dream House. Tim did a lot of "handholding" to calm my shaken nerves. He was always just a phone call away, or a personal meeting away. His knowledge of the market, and his knowledge of me enabled him to show me properties that were a good match...then the Ultimate Match! I highly recommend Tim to my friends and anyone who needs a professional in the Real Estate world. Thank you Tim!!!!

Fantastic experience: Tim is amazing. He not only held our hand through the whole first time house buying process, he made it fun and interesting. His knowledge of the market, Sonoma county and the entire house buying process was so comforting. Being a first time buyer, we had a ton of questions and concerns and Tim was always there to answer them and guide us through. In this crazy market, you definitely want someone who can negotiate on your behalf. Tim helped us "win" our dream house, even though other bidders had cash over asking. He is wonderful and personable, and real estate these days is not just about money...it takes a connection and relationship to make the deal. Tim is fantastic at both.

Fantastic experience: Tim made selling my home quick and painless. He made sure to keep me informed through the entire process and when I had questions he was knowledgeable and courteous to respond right away. Based on his expertise and experience in the local market he really put me at ease where I felt he had my best interest at hand. So much so, that I look forward to partnering with Tim on future opportunities.

Fantastic experience: A+ Agent: Tim is very professional and without question the best agent I have used in buying and selling 6 homes over the years. He is low pressure, very supportive and knows his stuff. He always presented a balanced view of every house we looked at i.e. the good and the not so good to help us think through the opportunity. He was patient, a pleasure to be with, organized and made every moment productive. I trusted him every step of the way and recently recommended him to one of my daughters who he also helped buy a home. Jeff

Fantastic experience: Tim was vital in assisting us with selling my mother's home. He took charge to getting the place ready. He is very responsive. We now have him looking for a new place for us. I would recommend Tim without a question.
