So you’re considering purchasing property in the Oakland-Berkeley area and maybe renting out rooms (house hacking) or buying a duplex or a place with an ADU?

As a listing agent, receiving a well written offer is indicative of a serious buyer, a competent agent and usually reliable financing. These offers are clear, complete, and a pleasure to review and inspire confidence in the listing agent and the seller!

Every so often a home with that magic feeling comes on the market! On Brokers tour the agents are “oohing” and “aahing” and say “I could live here!” and you realize you are not alone in responding to the home as you do! The magical house does not have to be exceptionally fancy.

If you like newer homes, highly rated schools and superb views ..without going way up into the hills the Upper Rockridge neighborhood in Oakland is a great place to live!

One sign of a market with limited inventory is the Pre-emptive offer! A number of years ago my sellers did receive and accept a pre-emptive despite the original plan to have 2 Sunday Opens.

There are many aspects of selling we can help with as realtors, but for some clients a potential sale or purchase does require advance planning and additional expertise.
