Top Realtors Bambace Peterson Team Ranked Number 1 on the Monterey Peninsula for Eight Consecutive Years (Carmel by the Sea & Pebble Beach)
Carmel-by-the-Sea, California – September 13, 2026 – The Bambace Peterson Team, a top luxury real estate team serving Pebble Beach, Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur, has been ranked the number one Compass team on the Monterey Peninsula for the eighth consecutive year. The ranking covers every year from 2018 through 2025 and is based on production reported through MLSListings, the multiple listing service that covers the region. Dana Bambace and Mark Peterson founded the team in 2018, the year Compass opened in the Carmel and Pebble Beach markets. When it comes to hiring in Pebble Beach, Carmel by the Sea, and Big Sur, the Bambace Peterson team has become the go-to option for many in Monterey.
The eight-year run spans two very different market cycles. In Pebble Beach, ZIP code 93953 recorded 86 single-family sales in calendar 2025, up 26.5 percent from 68 in 2024, with a median sale price of $2,815,968 in August 2026, according to MLSListings data compiled by Compass. In Carmel-by-the-Sea, roughly 87 residential sales closed over the trailing twelve months, and homes sold at 94.3 percent of list price in August 2026, against 98.5 percent countywide.
The ranking rests on production concentrated in a narrow geography. The team reports more than $750 million in closed sales from 2018 through 2025 across 318 transaction sides. Independent MLS-derived records published by Homes.com show 160 closed sales and $419.4 million in volume over the trailing five years, with an average sale price of $2.6 million. Within that record, Pebble Beach is the team’s single largest market at 28 closed sales, ahead of Monterey at 24, Carmel Point and Hatton Fields at 18, Pacific Grove at 15 and Carmel-by-the-Sea proper at 12. Across greater Carmel, including Carmel Point, Hatton Fields and Carmel Woods, the total reaches 40 closings in five years.
Both principals grew up on the Monterey Peninsula and attended Stevenson School, and Peterson lives inside the Pebble Beach gates. Peterson has served on the board of directors of the Monterey County Association of Realtors since 2022 and is the association’s president-elect for 2027. The team holds a 5.0 average client rating across 95 combined reviews and ranks first among Pebble Beach agents by client rating on the directory Top Agents Today. Its highest recorded sale is $14,933,333 on 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach, and it reports placing in the top five in Monterey County for both total sales volume and transaction count from 2020 through 2025, among more than 1,200 licensed agents.
The team currently represents a $45,000,000 estate on 17 Mile Drive fronting the 14th hole of Pebble Beach Golf Links, along with active inventory across Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur. Buyers and sellers can review current Pebble Beach homes for sale and Carmel-by-the-Sea listings and recent comparable sales on the team’s website.
