    The #1 priority my East Bay home buyer clients have in common

    BySusie Wyshak May 5, 2026May 5, 2026

    A San Francisco couple is glad they decided not to sell and retire elsewhere. The East Bay awaits.

    BySusie Wyshak April 14, 2026April 14, 2026

    With relish, I devoured the Wall Street Journal “Retirement Rookies” article by Stephen Kreider Yoder and Karen Kreider Yoder. The title was “We Considered Leaving the City in Retirement. We’re So Glad We Didn’t.” Mind you, this isn’t the “city” as in New York; some people insist that’s the only city that deserves that moniker….

    Bay Area Pre-Fab and Modular ADU Vendors

    BySusie Wyshak March 5, 2026March 11, 2026

    When looking at houses with clients, I often point out that a living space can essentially be extended at relatively low cost by plunking an 8×10 studio in the backyard — not to mention the bigger investment of an ADU. So when the 2026 Bay Area ADU Expo in San Jose popped up in my inbox,…

    Finding Off-Market Properties For Buyers in Berkeley

    BySusie Wyshak February 9, 2026February 20, 2026

    When it comes to looking for properties for clients, showing the same houses everyone who’s house hunting can find online is not an option. These days there are many condos, houses and multi-family properties in the Berkeley area that did not sell (for whatever reason) and were taken off market. That’s how I ended up…

    Location, Location, Location: The Crucial Role of Location with the BRRRR Strategy in Expensive Real Estate Markets

    BySusie Wyshak December 8, 2025March 5, 2026

    When it comes to real estate investing, the old adage “location, location, location” couldn’t be more true, especially in higher-priced East Bay real estate markets such as Berkeley and Alameda.

The chirping birds agreed! This 3+ bedroom, 2-bath home is tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac that's minutes from 13, Montclair Village, Lake Temescal, Piedmont Ave, and Rockridge shops and dining. Move-in ready with fresh updates, a flexible layout, and a large landscaped lot featuring a new deck, side yard, and VERY cool bonus building you have to see. That bonus space has been used as an office and would be a great gym or craft workshop. How will you use it? Come visit to explore the possibilities and message for details or a private tour!
