Our Story

the hardest working women in real estate

With over 30 years as a prominent Real Estate establishment in the East Bay, we have gained a renowned reputation for our expertise in home renovations. Our dedicated team of seasoned contractors, designers, and stagers has successfully transformed homes in sought-after areas such as El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Oakland, Kensington, Richmond, El Sobrante, Pinole, and Hercules. Specializing in homes with deferred maintenance, we stand out by handling renovation work without additional charges, apart from the standard real estate commission, unlike many Realtors who may engage external design companies at substantial costs for their clients.

When it comes to finding homes for buyers, we leave no stone unturned. In this highly competitive market, we employ our skills to craft compelling offers and ensure our clients find their ideal homes.

Navigating this challenging market requires experience, whether it’s bringing a home to market for a successful sale at the highest possible price or helping buyers realize their dreams. Our team exemplifies both qualities, with a commitment to serving clients through ethical business practices, a proven track record, and extensive experience that goes above and beyond. Your interests are our top priority, and we take our fiduciary responsibilities seriously.
