MEET DIANNE
hen a client chooses to work with Agents Bob Pennypacker and Dianne Vernon they’re truly getting a two-for-one that is not only special, but extremely unique in the Real Estate world: Pennypacker is that rare real estate professional who is both an accomplished sales and marketing professional and a world-class architect, providing his clients with property insight on not only the skin and bones of a potential purchase, but its DNA as well. Pennypacker, a SF Bay Area native, traces his interest in architecture to the mid-1960’s, when his mother briefly threw her hat into the homeselling arena. “Everything was on paper then, of course. I used to pore through the binders filled with her listings. I think that’s really where my love for structures began, particularly residential homes.” Later, while studying architecture at UC Berkeley, Bob embarked on a student exchange program that took him to Sweden, where he was

given his first exposure to—and discovered his passion for— architectural history. “It was absolutely a life-changing experience, he recalls. In Sweden, I learned to look at a house in a completely different way, to see where its design roots originate. That epiphany continues to inform my work today.” That school year in Sweden was followed by a summer in Norway and a spontaneous bout of employment. “I was walking along a village in a remote fjord, saw an architect’s office, and went in and asked if they were hiring,” Pennypacker laughs. That first year in Scandinavia was the beginning of a successful, nearly 30-year long career in architecture. After returning to the states to complete his undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, he moved to New York to obtain his graduate degree at Columbia University. His architecture career took off immediately, and Pennypacker
Confidence
spent the next thirty years indulging his passion for architecture and design. Contracted by several prominent corporations that included Bechtel and NBC Universal, he traveled the globe to service clients in locales that included France, the Middle East and Japan. In 2000 Pennypacker returned to California and settled in historic Healdsburg, a charming, wine country destination located in Sonoma County. His first order of business was to design and build a home for himself. Upon completion of his own home, he designed and built another, this time to sell. He obtained his Real Estate License, sold the home, found the business compelling and got hooked. Enter his business partner Dianne Vernon. Prior to becoming a REALTOR®, for twenty years Dianne directed an international team of sales and marketing professionals addressing the Fortune 500 software market.
is
For the last 10 years she had successfully sold Real Estate in the Silicon Valley. Over these last ten years, Dianne also studied architecture, building, and design; no surprise her meeting and teaming with Bob. Relocated to Healdsburg she now combines her passion for real estate and as an EcoBroker™, is a pioneer of the eco-friendly real estate and prefab home ethos. Dianne and Bob are certified by the International Real Estate Society acknowledging their hard work to receive that designation and their acumen for the international real estate market. Bob and Dianne provide a unique combination of skills. Their clients are provided with an incomparable level of service, while their ability to function as a REALTOR®, Architect, Designer, Builder, and accomplished “real world” business executive are benefits few competitors offer. “There are times when the
Earned
client isn’t able to see the potential of a home,” say Bob and Dianne. Noting that few home buyers have the opportunity to consult an architect or designer during the buying process, Dianne and Bob’s clients are provided with an extra tier of service that would normally set the client back thousands of dollars. “As an architect, I can help them visualize what is possible.” states Pennypacker. “With a little guidance and vision, the true potential of a home can be revealed,” adds Dianne. Today both Dianne and Bob are a world away from the jet-setting corporate culture of high tech companies and professional design firms. They are very happy with the kind of human connections forged in real estate. “Designing airports and theme parks and endless hours incorporate meetings are no match for the real connection we enjoy meeting new people, selling real estate and building homes in Healdsburg,” say Bob and Dianne.

RE/MAX vs the Industry 2014
Real Estate
Than RE/MAX
Personal Networks Top Agent Network While we are proud to be included in the top 5% of Sonoma County agents, our primary goal has always been to provide the best service we possibly could. Having that recognition, though, does provide advantages for my clients: Direct access to the top producers throughout the entire bay region. These are the agents who close 75% of all transactions in the area. We market directly to each other. This is particularly useful during the “pre-marketing� period.
Marketing to the Asian world Marketing also has to adjust to changing global realties. Asian investors are coming to the market place in all price ranges. In order to reach the buyers at their source, We have registered with www.caimeiju.com This is a bilingual real estate site targeting Chinese investors to which listings are uploaded and has a separate search for international luxury properties.
Marketing to other Agents One more powerful marketing tool is pitching properties to other agents because most properties are sold by agents. The tools for this are the MLS website (which covers Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Lake , Solano, and Mendocino counties and has over 8,300 members) and weekly meetings of the MLS. At our meetings, we are continually updating and reminding our colleagues of our listings.
Global Partnership
IRES
We both carry the IRES, or International Real Estate Specialist Designation. This is an elite group of realtors from around the globe who cooperate in marketing each others listings. We chose this route due to the amount of international traffic we see in Healdsburg, for it allows us to market our listings directly to buyers before they arrive here.
Resources Location Healdsburg Healdsburg is the Sonoma County hub for real estate. Many visit and fall in love with the world-class restaurants, wineries, shops, and the natural beauty that is in abundance here. RE/MAX Full Spectrum's location- just one block off the main plaza- invites interested real estate buyers to visit us. Our extensive market knowledge and experience afford us a lead position with countless opportunities to market and sell real estate in and around Northern Sonoma County. .
