About Lifestyle Properties

Office Information

LifeStyle Properties is the most unique real estate brokerage in the Napa Valley, specializing in several niches to better serve our clients, including wineries & vineyards and vintage homes (Jenny Heinzen) , Green Living (Nicole McIntosh) and LifeStyle Estates (Katie Somple).

Our knowledge of these in-demand real estate properties sets us apart from the competition- offering one stop shopping, expert knowledge and advantageous representation.

The brokerage was founded in 2001 by Broker/Owner Katie Somple. The idea of creating specialty niches under an umbrella brokerage came from the realization that the Napa Valley is a destination real estate market where people come in search of a particular lifestyle that is synonymous with wine country living. Some want to own a winery or a vineyard, some want a hobby vineyard as landscaping, some come to Napa Valley to live in an architecturally significant vintage home, some want to operate a quaint B&B, and others simply want to enjoy the borrowed landscape of the picturesque vineyards.

We provide local, regional, national and international reach without the constraints of corporate generic marketing or one-size-fits-all formulaic guidelines. Highly educated, hand-selected agents who specialize in various Napa Valley lifestyle niches set us apart and above the competition.

Whatever Wine Country lifestyle you are in search of LifeStyle Properties gives you the expertise and the edge in market knowledge and negotiations. Contact us today and experience for yourself what “expert” really means.

The sub-specialties affiliated with LifeStyle Properties have developed into a burgeoning niche marketing approach to buying and selling real estate throughout the diverse communities of the valley, including St. Helena, Calistoga, Yountville, Angwin and Napa.

Because of our specialties we consistently operate within the elite 20% of the most active Napa Valley agencies doing 80% of the real estate transactions. And because of our strategic compact size we accomplish this on a personalized basis. Since more than 80% of buyers now find properties first on line and then select their agent based on how impressed they are with an agent’s on line presence and savvy, we beat the competition there too. On line, where the playing field can be conquered and dominated by expertise versus size, LifeStyle Properties sizzles- and so do our listings.
