A Pinole Valley sale that called for preparation, close attention to buyer response and an air-conditioning repair during escrow.
At 783 Balra Drive in El Cerrito, the choices ranged from White Dove paint and brass lighting to questions about the creek beside the property.

718 34th Street, Richmond
