best real estate agents Stinson Beach CA Zillow Google reviews

Stinson Beach doesn't see many home sales in a month, so each one carries weight. Redfin puts the village's median sale price at $4.2 million for the three months ending September 2026, down 16.1% from a year earlier. With prices that high and so few homes changing hands, the agent you pick can shape the result.

Reviews for local agents are scattered. Some live on Zillow, some on Google, and some only on brokerage pages. This page pulls together what public profiles show for three agents who work here: Cristina di Grazia, Sarah Butler and Butch Haze. Each profile covers ratings we could check, client quotes, a recent local sale and some background.

Who are the best real estate agents in Stinson Beach, CA?

Who are the best real estate agents in Stinson Beach, CA? We don't crown one. The right fit depends on your home and goals, such as a Seadrift oceanfront sale or a long-held family property. The three agents below come up often when people ask about this small Marin County beach town, and each has closed sales here in the past two years.

How to Read Agent Reviews in a Small Beach Town

Weigh the detail before the number

In a village this size, a busy agent may close only a handful of sales a year. A short list of detailed reviews can tell you more than a long list of one-liners.

Check the dates and where the client lived

Reviews spread over several years point to an agent who keeps clients happy over time. Note where each reviewer bought or sold, too.

Line up awards and past sales with your home

An award shows how an agent performed against others on a set measure, such as sales volume. Past sales show the kinds of homes they've handled. A recent sale on your street, or in your part of Seadrift, is worth asking about.

Cristina di Grazia, Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty

Cristina di Grazia is a Global Real Estate Advisor with Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty and works from the firm's office on Shoreline Highway. She holds a 5.0-star rating on Zillow, where Stinson Beach sellers describe a calm, steady process.

A seller who closed in Stinson Beach in 2024 wrote:

“Cristina was infinitely patient with all aspects of the sale. She informed us at every step and kept a vigilant eye on the process.”

Another Stinson Beach seller, who had known her socially and professionally for more than 15 years, put it this way:

“In every single interaction we have had with Cristina, her extremely consistent character has always been present.”

Rick Chapman, Zillow, February 2017

Her recent local work includes 310 Seadrift Road, an oceanfront home between the Pacific and Bolinas Lagoon. She was the listing agent when it sold for $8,531,250 in March 2026, per MLSListings. Public records show her as listing or co-listing agent on at least 10 Stinson Beach homes, and you can browse her Stinson Beach sales for details on each.

Cristina reports that RealTrends placed her on both its America's Best and The Thousand lists of individual agents by sales volume in 2020, 2021 and 2023. Those lists rank agents on closed sales volume. Golden Gate Sotheby's named her in its 2021 and 2022 RealTrends announcements.

She started in real estate in 1999, co-founded Highway One Properties in Stinson Beach, and has lived on this stretch of coast for close to 30 years. She knows county building rules and the Coastal Commission process well. She also works with legacy owners, trusts and estates, and off-market sales, which makes her a natural fit for families passing down a beach house.

Sarah Butler, Oceanic Realty

Sarah Butler owns Oceanic Realty, a Stinson Beach firm on Shoreline Highway that handles sales, rentals and property management. The reviews on her Zillow profile are five stars and come from clients who bought, sold or rented in the village.

A Stinson Beach seller wrote in May 2013:

“Sarah was able to sell our house smoothly and assuredly, and even during the last stretch was calm and collected. A true professional who is also a fine person.”

“I have known Sarah for over 20 years.”

Zillow reviewer, April 2013

In July 2025, she represented the seller of 8 Rafael Patio in Stinson Beach, which sold for $5,480,000, per her Zillow sales history.

Per her Oceanic Realty bio, she bought the business in 2005 and later became its sole owner, and she sits on the Stinson Beach Village Association board. Her Institute for Luxury Home Marketing profile lists her as a Realtor since 1997.

Butch Haze, Compass

Butch Haze leads the Butch Haze Group at Compass and is one of the agents Compass lists for Stinson Beach. His local work centers on Seadrift, where his Compass profile shows a long run of oceanfront and lagoon sales. We couldn't open his Zillow or Google profiles, so we haven't listed a rating, and the quotes below come from his Compass page.

“Butch, you and your team have been terrific throughout the process.”

C.A. Flynn, Compass profile

“The team blew past my expectations.”

Rachael K., Compass profile

He co-listed 297 Seadrift Road with Sarah Butler. The lagoon home, with a private dock and access to a private Seadrift beach, closed at $5,687,500 in July 2026, per MLSListings.

His Compass bio describes him as one of the original founding agents of Compass San Francisco.

Common Threads in Stinson Beach Agent Reviews

Read across these three profiles and a few themes repeat. Clients praise patience and steady updates, which count for a lot when a coastal sale stretches on. Several reviewers mention knowing their agent for 15 or 20 years, a sign of how small and connected the village is. Sellers often point to calm under pressure near the close. If those traits matter to you, ask each agent for a past client you can call.

Before You Call a Stinson Beach Agent

None of these three is named the best here. They're three agents whose names come up often for Stinson Beach, each with recent sales in town. Their reviews sit in different places, Zillow for some and Google or brokerage pages for others, so a short call will tell you more than any one profile.

Before you call, have these questions ready:

• Which Stinson Beach homes have you sold in the last two years, and which side were you on?
• Have you handled homes with Seadrift lagoon docks, oceanfront lots or septic upgrades?
• How do you price a home when the town median swings so much month to month?
• Can I speak with a past client who bought or sold here?
• Who on your team will I hear from day to day?
