Meet the Schween Group

TOP 1% REALTORS® IN SONOMA COUNTY*

Jeff Schween is among the Top 1% of REALTORS® in Sonoma County, with a long-standing track record of making a meaningful difference in his clients’ lives. Known for their client-first approach, The Schween Group was formed when Kelsey McCaffrey came home and partnered with Jeff to expand their impact. Together, they bring a multi-generational perspective, blending Jeff’s decades of local expertise with Kelsey’s fresh, strategic approach to modern real estate.

Clients consistently say things like, “Jeff is the best REALTOR® in Santa Rosa,” “Our favorite REALTOR®,” and “We couldn’t have made it happen without their actionable advice.” The Schween Group’s philosophy is rooted in client satisfaction. Where the client’s needs always take priority over the transaction itself.

Everything revolves around exceeding expectations. Jeff and Kelsey work hand-in-hand with each client to create and implement a customized plan for success. Their proactive communication — timely, honest, and transparent — ensures mutual trust and satisfaction throughout the process.

While focused on achieving immediate goals, they also take time to explore clients' long-term plans to offer personal and professional guidance every step of the way.

Tracey, Jeff’s long-time licensed real estate partner, now serves as Director of Communications for The Schween Group — helping ensure clients stay informed, supported, and confident from beginning to end.

Based on BARIES, Broker Metrics & Real Trends.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Amazing – the Schween’s educated us on the process and handled everything smoothly. When buyers fell out of escrow, they worked tirelessly to reach out to other offers. Great experience - kind, compassionate, understanding team. We were able to sell our home in the time frame we needed and at a price that was above our expectations thanks to the team of Jeff and Tracey Schween. At times it was stressful,...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I can't say enough good things about the Santa Rosa Realtor® that I partnered with to help me flip a house in Santa Rosa at 895 Quietwater Ridge. They were the seller’s agent when I purchased the Santa Rosa home and I hired them to be my seller’s agent when I listed it for sale. My experience with Jeff and his wife was more than just a typical real estate transaction. Jeff and I became quasi-business par...

— Christopher & Anna Snare

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We first worked with Tracey and Jeff in 2009 when looking for a rental home for our daughter who was then living in a rental that would have 2 inches of water in the living room when it rained. They found us a home that was unbelievably priced at the time, it has more than doubled in value, and my daughter's rent went down substantially as a result. Some minor remodeling was all that was needed to improv...

Jeff and Tracey are a dynamic duo. We had been working with another local Realtor® who was not working to help us find a home - he was only forwarding listings that met our parameters.

He would handpick properties for us and helped us plan our day's house-hunting to get the most out of our vis...

This allowed us to close on our perfect new home! Buying and selling a home is a stressful pr...

— Lindsay & Andy

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Jeff and Tracey were referred to us by a Realtor® in the Bay Area. Jeff and Tracey helped us find and close home in Fountain Grove, Santa Rosa. Jeff met us on a Sunday morning, showed us 5 or 6 places. Of these, we selected 1. We went through 2 rounds of negotiation and closed within 4 weeks of our initial meeting. We had already been looking for a while on our own, so we had reasonably well-formed opini...

Jeff and Tracey were not only professional assets in the buying and selling of our Santa Rosa home, they were personal touchstones during both events.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Jeff and Tracey did an awesome job and stayed on top of all the details. We live out of state and the house needed some improvements to be sold for top dollar.
