OUR TEAM

Founder

Today, through Kearsley Home, Heather brings together her expertise in interior design, construction, hospitality, outfitting, entertaining, luxury textiles, and product development to help a select group of clients create homes and lifestyles that are beautiful, functional, welcoming, and uniquely their own. She believes that the most successful homes are those that reflect the people who live in them and support the ways they gather, celebrate, recharge, and connect with family and friends.

Principal, Senior Project Manager & Interior Designer

For clients undertaking a significant home, the hardest part is rarely the design; it is ensuring that the vision survives budgets, schedules, procurement, and the countless decisions required over many months. This is exactly what Kearsley Home is built to manage, and Alethia is one of the people who leads that process. Raised within her family's award-winning luxury design-build firm and seasoned on custom residences ranging from $4 million to more than $20 million, she brings the discipline, foresight, and calm problem-solving for which the firm is known. Alethia excels at anticipating challenges long before they reach the client and coordinating the many moving parts required to bring a home together successfully.

Founding Advisor

For years, Gail ran the main office of Kearsley's interior design practice, bringing the business discipline, client care, and gracious standard that a firm of this caliber depends on. A textile artisan trained from childhood, a Master Gardener, and co-founder of one of Northern California's most respected hospitality and event companies, she has been part of Kearsley since 1997, helping shape its standard for fine linens, gracious entertaining, and the garden-to-table rhythms that make a Wine Country home feel truly alive. Today she lends that experience to the team as a trusted advisor, ensuring the warmth, craftsmanship, and care she has always brought continue to define every Kearsley home.

Owner, Eclectic Tour | Hospitality, Concierge & Lifestyle Partner

A new home in Wine Country is only as rich as the life around it, and that life runs on relationships most clients have not yet had time to build. Through Kearsley Home's partnership with Darren Schauer, owner of the respected hospitality company Eclectic Tour, clients gain that access from day one: private winery visits, vineyard lunches, private chef dinners, sought-after reservations, and the cultural experiences that never appear in any guidebook. For a client settling in or hosting guests they want to impress, Darren makes an unfamiliar region feel effortlessly their own.

Real Estate Broker & Wine Country Advisor

Buying property in an unfamiliar region is where costly mistakes are made, in what a home will truly require, whether it will permit, and what the land is actually worth. Steve sees what others miss. Licensed since 1982 and a partner in more than 400 transactions across Sonoma and Napa, he has also personally designed, built, permitted, and developed throughout Wine Country, so he evaluates a property not only as a broker but as someone who knows how it will function and evolve. Through Wolf & Gallagher, Wine Country Real Estate Advisors with Engel & Völkers, Steve gives clients buying, building, renovating, or investing from a distance a candid read on what a property is, what it could become, and what it will take to get there.
