Douglas Elliman Realty announced its expansion into Northern California’s Wine Country with the addition of real estate advisors Christine Krenos and Joseph Zichelle, who join the firm following nine years together at Compass.

According to the company, Krenos and Zichelle closed more than $70 million in sales volume in 2025, including two off-market Wine Country transactions each valued at over $20 million. The duo is poised for a strong spring market, with close to $100 million in luxury residential listings expected to come online across Napa and Sonoma counties, the company added.

“Expanding into California’s Wine Country represents a strategic and highly anticipated step in Douglas Elliman’s continued growth across California,” said Michael S. Liebowitz, president and CEO of Douglas Elliman Inc. “This is a globally recognized luxury market, and with Christine and Joseph leading the way, we are exceptionally well-positioned to deliver best-in-class service and reach to the region.”
