Allison and Stephanie Norman — Norman Home Team Wine Country
Some real estate decisions are straightforward. Many aren’t. When a transaction involves a VA loan that a listing agent doesn’t understand, a family navigating a parent’s estate, a vineyard property with an existing grape contract, a rural parcel with water rights questions, or an investor trying to time a 1031 exchange without losing the tax deferral — those situations require something most agents can’t offer: deep, specific expertise across multiple complex disciplines.
That’s what we do.
We are Allison and Stephanie Norman — a mother-daughter team and the Norman Home Team Wine Country. We are trusted advisors for complex real estate decisions across Northern California Wine Country, from Sonoma and Napa to Lake, Mendocino, and Marin counties.
Complex situations. Clear strategy.
Allison Norman | Realtor® | 20 Years of Experience
Allison has been in real estate for 20 years — and from the very beginning, her work has centered on the situations other agents find complicated. Working with seniors and their families has been a thread running through her entire career. Guiding veterans through the VA loan process when listing agents don’t understand it. Helping successor trustees sell properties they’ve inherited. Navigating vineyard estates, agricultural land, country properties with wells and septic, and the full complexity of rural Northern California real estate.
Allison hosts The Real Estate Hour on KSRO — one of the longest-running real estate radio programs in the North Bay, on the air for over 35 years. She has hosted and cohosted the show since 2009, covering market updates, real estate law, and topics that matter to buyers, sellers, and investors across Northern California Wine Country. The show airs Sunday mornings live on KSRO and is available anytime at KSRO.com.
Allison serves in a leadership role with the Sonoma County Section on Aging — a network of professionals serving seniors across every discipline, from in-home care and memory care to estate planning and reverse mortgage lending. That network gives her — and her clients — access to trusted resources that most agents simply don’t have.
She also serves on the Agent Leadership Council (ALC) at Keller Williams Wine Country — a position reserved for the top agents in the market center, selected by peers.

Stephanie Norman | Realtor®
Stephanie has been around real estate for her entire life — growing up alongside Allison’s career, absorbing the business from the inside out, and assisting with marketing and administration from her teenage years. Three years ago she earned her real estate license and joined the team officially.
Stephanie is also a member of the Sonoma County Section on Aging and co-hosts The Real Estate Hour on KSRO, joining Allison on the show in 2024.
Her focus within the team is marketing, administration, and the client experience — and she leads staging and design consultation for every listing. For each property we bring to market, Stephanie is involved in the conversation about presentation, preparation, and how to position the home to attract the right buyers.
What We Specialize In
Our work centers on five areas — all connected by the same underlying reality: they require more knowledge, more strategy, and more care than a typical transaction.
- Active Military & Veterans — helping veterans use their VA entitlement strategically and competitively, in a market where VA financing is often misunderstood
- Life Transitions, Probate & Senior Real Estate — guiding families through estate sales, trust and probate transactions, senior relocation, and the decisions that come with major life changes
- Country & Rural Properties — wells, septic, agricultural zoning, land financing, Williamson Act, and everything that comes with buying or selling rural property in Northern California
- Wine Country Wine Country, Vineyard, Coastal & Equestrian Estates — vineyard operations, grape contracts, equestrian facilities, coastal property considerations, and the complexity of high-end estate transactions
- Investors & 1031 Exchange — exit strategy, exchange timing, DST options, tenant occupied properties, and the strategic guidance that serious investors need
How We Work
Much of our business comes from past clients and referrals — people who trusted us with something complicated and came back, or sent someone they care about.
We don’t lead with a sales pitch. We lead with information, honest advice, and a clear picture of what’s possible. Sometimes that means telling a client not to sell. Sometimes it means explaining why a VA offer is actually stronger than the listing agent thinks. Sometimes it means sitting with a family as they figure out what to do with a home that’s been in the family for 50 years.
We are not transaction processors. We are advisors — and we take that seriously
