What truly distinguishes Grace is her rare combination of real estate expertise and construction knowledge. As a licensed California General Contractor since 1996, she has personally renovated and developed more than 160 homes, giving clients invaluable insight into property value, renovation potential, construction quality, inspections, and long-term investment opportunities. This experience allows her to identify hidden value, anticipate challenges, and help buyers and sellers make confident, informed decisions.
Grace specializes in representing clients in the purchase and sale of luxury homes, Wine Country estates, commercial properties, investment properties, ranches, land, and other distinctive real estate throughout Healdsburg, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Windsor, Santa Rosa, and surrounding Wine Country communities. In addition to sales, she provides personalized rental property and estate management services, including tenant placement, property oversight, and trusted management solutions for homeowners, second-home owners, and investment property owners. Whether marketing an iconic estate, helping a family find the perfect place to call home, or assisting an owner in maximizing the value of their property, Grace brings strategic insight, creativity, and meticulous attention to every client she serves.
Grace began her real estate career in Los Angeles, where she worked with entertainment industry professionals and other high-profile clients before relocating to Sonoma County in 2001. In 2013, she founded The Lucero Group, a boutique team known for exceptional service, innovative marketing, and personalized guidance. Today, the team is recognized for its responsiveness, collaborative approach, and dedication to building lifelong client relationships.
Grace represents buyers, sellers, investors, developers, and families throughout Sonoma County Wine Country. She is especially experienced in helping executives, retirees, and families relocating to Sonoma County, providing trusted guidance not only with buying or selling a home, but also with rental properties and estate management services that help clients confidently transition to Wine Country living. Known for her straightforward communication, skilled negotiation, and strategic guidance, Grace's extensive network frequently connects clients with exclusive private and off-market opportunities before they become publicly available.
Beyond real estate, Grace is deeply committed to giving back to the community. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Healdsburg Food Pantry and previously served on the boards of Healdsburg Forever, the Anova Center for Education, and the Humane Society of Sonoma County.
She also co-founded Matheson Partners, a successful real estate investment company that purchased, renovated, managed, and ultimately sold a portfolio of 48 rental homes, further strengthening her expertise in investment properties, property management, and long-term real estate wealth building. Her commitment to leadership, service, and building strong communities reflects the same integrity and long-term perspective that define her professional career.
Originally from California's Central Valley, Grace has proudly called Sonoma County home for more than two decades. When she's not working with clients, you'll often find her at Fly Dog Farm, her Sonoma County farm dedicated to sustainable living, agriculture, and creating a peaceful retreat that reflects her love of Wine Country and the outdoors. She also enjoys hiking with her dogs, supporting local nonprofit organizations, and rescuing animals—one of her lifelong passions. Grace's deep connection to the land and the community she calls home gives her an authentic appreciation for the Wine Country lifestyle she loves sharing with her clients.
Whether helping a first-time buyer, advising on a commercial investment, marketing a luxury estate, managing a client's real estate portfolio, or negotiating the sale of a one-of-a-kind property, Grace is known for delivering thoughtful guidance, exceptional service, and outstanding results. Much of her business comes from referrals and repeat clients—a testament to the lasting relationships she has built and the trust she has earned throughout her career.
