With a degree in interior design and 30-plus years of running her own interior design firm in the Bay Area, Ronnie DeFount is a uniquely qualified real estate professional.

 

She grew up in the East Bay and has been a longtime resident of the Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek areas, so she knows the market. Her husband was in construction, and together they remodeled and upgraded many properties, so she knows houses. And because her businesses have always been client-oriented, she knows people. Embracing clients from all walks of life, she especially enjoys helping first-time buyers through the sometimes scary but always exciting experience.

 

Ronnie applies professional expertise to all aspects of the real estate process. Buyers benefit from her vision of a property’s potential and her creative financing savvy, and sellers can rely on her for expert staging and effective, multimedia-driven listings for optimum results. Out-of-town buyers are treated to mini-tours of areas that fit their needs as well as Ronnie’s extensive local market knowledge. And she helps investors find properties offering the best return on investment, providing her design and staging talents to maximize results.

 

At her own home, Ronnie loves to sew, decorate, and cook — sometimes. An avid quilter, she has an extensive collection of vintage fabrics and belongs to a quilt guild in Benicia. Ronnie and her husband love spending time with their adorable boy kitties, Freckles and Cosmo.
