Family Standards. Modern Results.
We are a mother-son team rooted in Sonoma County. Judith Schapansky brings decades of experience in lending and real estate, while Andrew Weinberg has spent five years helping buyers navigate one of California's most competitive markets. Together, our goal is simple — to help other families find their place here, just as we have found ours.
Family Matters. So Does Your Home.
A home is more than a purchase. It is where life happens. Whether you are expanding your family, starting one for the first time, or sizing down into a new chapter, the common thread is that family comes first. A home supports daily routines, milestones, celebrations, and quiet moments, and those things matter just as much as numbers on a page.
Buying a home is deeply personal, and we treat it that way. Working together as a mother and son team creates an added layer of responsibility and care. Every client we work with is trusting us with a major life decision, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our goal is not just to help you buy a home, but to help you find a place that supports how you live now and where you are headed next. When family is involved, the standard is high.
The Power of the Partnership
Judith Schapansky
The Strategist
With a career spanning since 2004, Judith brings a rare trifecta of expertise to Sonoma County real estate: financial strategy, specialized investment knowledge, and high-end design. Before transitioning into real estate, Judith built a powerhouse foundation in lending, financial planning, and insurance. This background allows her to look past the "curb appeal" and analyze a property's true performance as a long-term asset. She doesn't just help clients buy houses; she helps them build portfolios.
Beyond the numbers, Judith's eye for interior and landscape design offers her clients a distinct competitive advantage. Whether she is advising an investor on a specialized market or helping a homeowner maximize their equity through staging and curation, her goal is singular: Prioritizing the client's financial prosperity above all else. Judith is more than an agent—she is a strategist committed to the long-term success of the people she serves.

Our Strategy
We Don't Just "List" Homes
In a digital-first market, high-end photography and cinematic videography are the foundation of our strategy. Through JW Media, we ensure your home captures attention immediately with a polished, professional look.
Lifestyle Narratives
We craft stories that sell the emotion of a home, not just the specs. Every property has a narrative—we find it and tell it compellingly.
Intentional Staging
We use our own curated furniture collection to highlight your home's functional potential, creating spaces that buyers can envision themselves living in.
Digital Saturation
Your home is promoted across the MLS, major global platforms, and strategic social media teasers to generate early momentum and maximum visibility.
Andrew & Judith Pro-Tips for Sonoma County Buyers
We believe the best decisions are made when you have the full picture. These are the strategies we use to help our clients look past the staging and see the reality of a property.
The 24-Hour Rule
A property can feel very different depending on the time of day and day of the week. We encourage you to visit a neighborhood in the morning and again in the evening to reveal important details like parking availability or noise levels.
The Silent Tour Strategy
Since many homes have cameras or recording devices, we recommend avoiding conversations about pricing or offer strategy while inside the property. We save the strategic conversations for when we are back at the office or in a private space.
The Neighbor Interview
Talking to neighbors is a valuable source of insight that you won't find in a listing. We suggest casual, respectful conversations to understand the rhythm of the street and how long the sellers have lived there.
The Inspection First Mindset
Inspections are not just a cost; they are a tool that protects you and supports confident decision-making. We prioritize what actually matters—focusing on safety, structural integrity, and long-term value rather than just maintenance-related findings.
The Financial Lockdown
Once you are in escrow, avoid any large purchases like cars or furniture. Even manageable debt can impact your credit profile and cause issues with your loan approval.
