There's nothing like the thrill of bringing keys t There's nothing like the thrill of bringing keys to a new homeowner... especially in a time crunch. Just after closing, I swing by the property to get the keys from the lockbox. Raced across town. We pulled up next to each other in the middle of the road. Key handoff through our windows! So much fun and such a thrill to have helped another Oakland buyer.

Do you think peacock feathers would make you more visible when crossing the street in Rockridge? This pedestrian does. Seriously though, would you like if Rockridge had more crosswalks where you could grab an orange flag to take with you when crossing the street?

My client had never heard of @curbsidecreamery OR My client had never heard of @curbsidecreamery OR Temescal Alley so I insisted that we go. There's nothing more fun than introducing someone to your neighborhood...especially the food! He was surprised that I knew Temescal so well until I pointed out JUST how long I've been in Oakland and how Temescal is equally my hood as is Rockridge. We may live in the big city but in reality it's a bunch of small towns and neighborhoods that blend together. The last time he lived around here, there was a hardware store attached to the neon hardware store sign outside of Pizzaiolo! What's your favorite 🍦October summer treat?

Rockridge home owners tend to invest in high-end kitchen remodels which reflect the average home prices of over $1.5 million here in our neighborhood. But after checking prices with local contractors for a "traditional" kitchen remodel, this couple decided to assemble an Ikea kitchen on their own with some help from a contractor for gutting, plumbers and an electrician, and a company that fabricated the countertop after they had assembled the Ikea cabinets (while watching TV). The creative use of upcycled street signs for back splashes was a big hit among everyone who passed through on the Rockridge Kitchen Tour. As a fan of stick figure iconography, I loved them! The biggest investment for the kitchen remodel was the "servery" folding window that opens up to the patio. It opens on a rail instead of some folding windows that have a large lip at the bottom. So the maximum amount of space and light is exposed. They said the window was an $8,000 investment (and worth every penny...remember pennies?) Got questions about real estate, kitchen remodeling to sell, investing outside of California or home ownership? Just ask. https://www.compass.com/agents/susie-wyshak/ Susie Wyshak, East Bay Realtor at Compass 510-269-7051 susie.wyshak@compass.com DRE 02144226
