Six markets. Different decisions.

Where are you thinking of buying or selling?

A Richmond condo and an older Berkeley house can raise very different questions. I help you look at the home, its setting and the work ahead. Start with your area to explore practical buyer and seller advice, along with examples from my own transactions.

The six service areas

  1. North and East Richmond bungalow with a mature front garden at dusk
    01Service area

    Richmond

    A North & East bungalow and a Marina Bay condo ask different things of their owners. Whether you are getting ready to sell or deciding where to buy, I start with the house, the block and what you need from the move.

  2. Single-story home in Pinole with a broad front lawn
    02Service area

    Pinole

    You might be ready for a different amount of space, sorting through years in the same house, or waiting for a home with a very particular layout. I help Pinole buyers and sellers turn those needs into a practical plan.

  3. Sold El Cerrito mid-century home on an expansive landscaped lot
    03Service area

    El Cerrito

    A wood-paneled room, a wide terrace, the way a window frames the hillside: these details deserve attention. I help El Cerrito sellers prepare thoughtfully and buyers look beyond the first impression to understand the whole property.

  4. Welcome to Albany sign marking the city boundary
    04Service area

    Albany

    In a smaller house, a good room arrangement can matter more than another new finish. I help Albany owners decide what to keep, what to improve and how to show the space clearly. For buyers, I look at how that same space will fit everyday life.

  5. Sold Tudor Revival home in the Berkeley Hills
    05Service area

    Berkeley

    An older Berkeley home does not need to look like every other listing. I notice the tile, the woodwork, the light and the details worth keeping—and help you decide where the work will make a difference.

  6. Kensington village commercial area and community setting
    06Service area

    Kensington

    If you are buying or selling in Kensington, the house and its setting deserve to be considered together. Light, access, outdoor space and the way the rooms meet the site can shape how a home feels every day.

A local strategy starts with the house in front of you.

Walk the property before deciding what to repair, what to explain, and what the market is likely to reward.
