For Timothy Hedges, it was love at first sight. “It” is Sonoma County, and their relationship began soon after Timothy earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and accepted a job teaching at Caritas Creek, an outdoor school located in west Sonoma County. There, over a period of three years, he developed a deep and enduring appreciation for Sonoma’s lush vineyards, dense forests, scenic rivers, creeks, and coastline. Except for a brief period teaching high school in his native Berkeley and a year learning the real estate “ropes” from his father, Timothy has called Sonoma County home ever since.
The opportunity to practice real estate in ways that reflect his values and those of his teammates and the broader Sonoma community is one reason why he founded The Hedges · Davis Group under the Vanguard Properties banner in 2013. It’s an approach that has been successful for Timothy over the course of managing more than 1,000 real estate transactions totaling more than $700 million in sales volume.
