If you’re looking for an exceptional real estate professional in Petaluma, Marin County, or San Diego, I can’t recommend Rick Warner and The WE Group highly enough.

Rick brings an incredible balance of market expertise, strategic insight, and genuine care to every client relationship. Whether navigating a competitive Marin market, selling a home in Petaluma, or advising on opportunities in San Diego, Rick and his team approach every transaction with clarity, confidence, and intention.

What truly sets The WE Group apart is their communication and professionalism. Every step of the process feels thoughtful, proactive, and well-managed. They understand local market dynamics, pricing strategies, and how to position a property for maximum value — while always keeping the client’s goals front and center.

Nicole is my favorite realtor to do business with. She is patient, intuitive, knowledgeable and a genuine individual. I’ve so often left real estate transactions feeling like I was rushed into making decisions and ultimately wondering why I even contracted with a realtor to begin with. Nicole and her partner, Rick, bring a fresh perspective to buying a home. They’re able to hone in on the essentials and were constantly making me think “oh yeah I didn’t even think about that” throughout the process. They bring a team of professionals with them so you feel like all your bases are covered. The bar has been set so the next time that I’m looking to buy or sell, I will be coming to Nicole and Rick.

Selling or buying a house? It is my pleasure to highly recommend the services of Ricker Warner and Nicole Evans of The WE Group Real Estate. They listened carefully to my objectives, clearly explained the process, kept me informed of developments every step of the way, and provided options for proceeding with selling my house. The sale of the house was very smooth, I could not have asked for it to go better. It was a pleasure to work with both of them!
