Why This Nomination Means So Much to Us

Being nominated for Best Real Estate Team in Sonoma County is not something we take lightly. This recognition comes directly from the community we have served for over 36 years, and that is what makes it feel so different from any other award.

Jeff Schween has been a full-time Realtor in Santa Rosa since 1990. Over more than three decades, he has helped thousands of families buy, sell, and invest in Sonoma County real estate, completing over one billion dollars in sales volume and earning consistent recognition as a Top 1% agent in the county. His Sunday real estate column in the Press Democrat has made him one of the most trusted voices in the local market for years.

Kelsey McCaffrey, born and raised right here in Santa Rosa, brings a modern perspective and genuine love for this community to every client relationship. After earning her master's degree from Johns Hopkins University and spending six years with Teach for America, she came home to real estate with the same commitment to service and intentional leadership she brought to her classroom. Together, the father-daughter team at the heart of The Schween Group represents something that is genuinely rare in real estate: deep local roots, decades of experience, and a fresh, client-first approach built for today's market.

What Sets The Schween Group Apart

There are a lot of real estate agents in Sonoma County. Here is why our clients keep coming back and keep referring their friends and family to us.

We know this market better than almost anyone. Jeff has been selling real estate in Santa Rosa and across Sonoma County through every market cycle since 1990, including the dot-com crash, the 2008 financial crisis, the post-fire recovery, and the pandemic boom. When the market shifts, our clients are never caught off guard because we see it coming and help them plan accordingly.

We treat every client like they are our only client. From the first conversation to the day you get your keys, we are in your corner. We answer our phones, we return calls the same day, and we do not hand you off to an assistant the moment you are under contract. Our clients describe working with us as feeling like they have a trusted friend in the business, and that is exactly what we aim for.

Our marketing is genuinely different. Kelsey leads our marketing strategy with a modern, data-driven approach that goes well beyond putting a sign in the yard and hoping for the best. From professional photography and cinematic video to social media, targeted digital campaigns, and our network of Compass agents across the country, we give every listing the exposure it deserves.

We are a Compass team. As part of the nation's largest independent real estate brokerage, we have access to tools, technology, and a network of top agents that independent brokerages simply cannot match. That means more buyers for your home and more off-market opportunities for our buyers.

We are a family. The Schween Group is not a corporation. It is a family team that genuinely cares about the people we work with. Our clients are not transactions. They are neighbors, friends, and people we are proud to have helped find their place in the community we love.

A Note of Gratitude

Whether we win or not, we are so deeply grateful to everyone who has voted, sent kind messages, and cheered us on throughout this contest. The response from our community has been overwhelming in the best possible way.

To every client who trusted us with one of the biggest decisions of their lives: thank you. Every referral, every kind word, every five-star review represents a real relationship and a real moment of trust that we do not take for granted. That is what drives us every single day.

This nomination belongs to all of you.
