    Inside a Berkeley Home Staging Company

    BySusie Wyshak October 7, 2022February 16, 2026

    Working with staging companies and seeing the moving trucks load and unload staged furniture in front of a house for sale, I’ve wondered HOW DO THEY DO IT? How do they juggle all of the home furnishings, the books, the jars with the ladles for the kitchens? So I was thrilled to get an inside…

    Why isn’t this Berkeley house selling?

    BySusie Wyshak October 5, 2022February 16, 2026

    This little North Berkeley duplex is in one of the most popular neighborhoods. So why isn’t it selling after 2 months on the market…and a price less than what the owners paid a couple of years ago? Wisdom says a property not selling is always about price. For income properties, you need to make sure…

    With a never ending list of everything you ‘should do’ when purchasing a home, it seems counterproductive to focus on what you should not do. But being aware of the dont’s is just as important as the do’s, when it comes to making the biggest financial investment of your life.

Thinking about buying a property in the East Bay? Whether you’re eyeing #Piedmont, #Oakland, #Rockridge, or #Berkeley, I know how unrealistic  it can be to find time to check out every house that seems perfect especially if you're creating the next great AI unicorn.

That’s where I come in—I am happy to do live video tours or post home video tours tailored just for you, pointing out what you’ll love or want to avoid in a home.

Having lived all over the Bay Area, including Silicon Valley and San Francisco, I’ve got my finger on the pulse of neighborhood trends, building code changes, and new developments. This intell helps uncover hidden opportunities and gives you the insights needed to make smart buying decisions.

If you’re in search of a buyer’s agent who truly goes the extra mile, let’s chat! I can help you find properties at a discount or those not yet on the open market (thanks to Compass' awesome technology and network), so you can avoid those intense bidding wars that are still happening in many areas even in late 2025.

Not sure if I’m the right match? Tell me what you’re looking for in an agent, and I’ll happily point you in the right direction.
