About Marcus

Marcus Chen is a third-generation Wine Country resident whose family has been growing grapes in the Russian River Valley for over 60 years. This deep connection to the land and community gives Marcus an authenticity and insight that few agents can match. He grew up working alongside his father and grandfather in the vineyards, learning not just about agriculture but about the values of hard work, patience, and stewardship that define the Wine Country lifestyle. After earning his degree in Agricultural Business from UC Davis, Marcus spent five years managing his family's vineyard operations before transitioning to real estate. This experience gives him an exceptional understanding of what makes Wine Country properties unique—from water rights and soil composition to grape varieties and farming potential. He is uniquely qualified to advise clients on properties with agricultural components or vineyard potential. Marcus specializes in vineyard estates, historic properties, and family homes throughout Napa and Sonoma counties. He is known for his honest, straightforward approach and his commitment to finding the right property for each client rather than simply closing a deal. His clients appreciate his patience, his deep local knowledge, and his genuine passion for helping people find their place in Wine Country. Marcus is actively involved in the Wine Country community, serving on the board of the Russian River Valley Vintners Association and volunteering with the Napa County Farm Bureau. He and his wife Maria, who manages a small boutique winery, live in Healdsburg with their three children.
