2004 Petaluma Realtor of the Year

Robert Ramirez
Broker-Associate
Coldwell Banker Residential

Robert’s first Real Estate transaction is probably a bit different than the majority of Agents in Petaluma.  It didn’t involve multiple offers, 100% financing, or a “Short” sale, but rather a 3 bedroom home in West Petaluma that sold for a modest $37,000.  The year was 1976, at just 22 years old Robert was the youngest Realtor in Petaluma and the only agent under the age of 30.

Since then, Robert has managed his own brokerage, partnered with both his Wife and Son, and has witnessed the growth of Petaluma and Sonoma County into the desirable and affluent community that it is today. 

With over 37 years of experience in the field, Robert prides himself on customer service - counseling his clients with pricing their home for the quickest, highest sale and negotiating with offers.  Below are a few of the awards and designations that Robert holds at Coldwell Banker of Petaluma:

• #2 Sales Agent for the City of Petaluma 2007

• Petaluma Realtor of The Year 1987 and 2004

• Coldwell Bank Elite Club Top 5% Sales Agents Nationwide

Accredited Staging Professional

Elaine Ramirez
Realtor-Associate
Coldwell Banker Residential

Elaine began her Real Estate career in the Savings and Loans industry, working as a senior underwriter for World Savings Bank before becoming an agent in 1986 to open Petaluma’s Boardwalk Realty with her husband Robert.  As an Accredited Staging Professional, Elaine is a fantastic resource for her clients in determining exactly how to prepare a home for sale.  While it isn’t an exact science, Elaine has certainly developed an eye over the past 20 years for what does and does not help sell a home.

During her career, Elaine has received several honors as well, including the following:

• Coldwell Banker Elite Club Top 5% Sales Agents Nationwide

• 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Top Team Award RE/MAX Marina

• 2000 RE/MAX Marina Realty MVP Award

Realtor Associate Marketing Coordinator

Armand Ramirez

Realtor-Associate/Marketing Coordinator

As the team’s marketing coordinator, Armand serves as the technical brains of the group.  Upon returning from college in 2005, he was surprised at the general lack of marketing that the majority of Realtors produced for their listings; many listings didn’t have virtual tours, mailing pieces, or even color brochures.  With a passion for professional writing and design, Armand ensures that all of the office listings have virtual tours, direct mailing campaigns, high resolution photography, and, of course…color brochures.

Armand has served as Marketing Director for the Petaluma Chapter of Realtors in 2006 & 2007
