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

    BySusie Wyshak May 5, 2026May 5, 2026

    Location location location ! Location has always been the most important feature when buying real estate. That’s how “location location location” said 3x became a saying that transcends time.

    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,…

    Why work with Susie Wyshak to buy a home?

    BySusie Wyshak July 1, 2025February 13, 2026

    First, know that buyers don’t hire me to show them what they can find on Zillow. I’ve helped many buyers who chose to “request a tour” through Zillow. Being a Zillow agent was a really cool way to meet people who were not familiar with an area or who decided to start exploring by visiting…

Their most common regret: buying a home that requires too much maintenance.” (Clever Real Estate survey) Is fear stopping you from buying a home when you really want to own and invest in your future, instead of renting? The answer is to address…

    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…

I love my work as a real estate agent in #Oakland I love my work as a real estate agent in #Oakland ! Today at a broker tour home preview, I met the seller who had planted the grapefruit tree in front. He not only gave me a fallen fruit, but he said I could graft from his tree onto new rootstock. He said the variety has been said to be rare by a pomologist. Talking California citrus at a property for sale is my happy place!
