A Bay Area native, Larry Tristano grew up in Silicon Valley before his family moved to beautiful Sonoma County, where he connected with the striking environment and local agricultural community. 

Prior to transitioning to real estate, Larry completed a tour with the United States Marine Corps, then pursued a degree in Agricultural Business at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. This led to interning in Mexico City and throughout Chiapas, which sparked his interest in travel, languages, and international business. He then took over sales for a Mexican cooperative, importing coffee from Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Veracruz. He has continued to stay connected to agriculture through his family’s 13-acre organic farm, which sells at local Farmers Markets throughout Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties. 

With a 17-year experience in the real estate industry, Larry has represented clients throughout Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties in over 500 real estate transactions. He has built a solid foundation of clients and friendships through professionalism, attention to detail, savvy negotiation, and commitment to going above and beyond. Passionate about “home” as a pillar to financial success, he has continued to leverage his knowledge and experience to guide his clients and exceed their expectations. 

Larry is excited to align his business with Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, who shares a vision of premium service and a reputation for excellence in a technology-driven environment—providing a first-class experience for clients locally, regionally, and internationally, while leveraging the unparalleled brand strength of Sotheby’s International Realty. 

When not working in real estate, you will find him out exploring Sonoma County with his wife and two children seeking out local activities, wineries, restaurants, and those special locations that insiders keep tucked under their sleeves. Otherwise, catch him out on the trails of one of our incredible local parks, mountain biking with his son, and coaching for the local Northern California Interscholastic Cycling League team.
