    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 BRRRR strategy, which stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat, is a formulaic real estate investing approach that has helped many hard-working, risk-taking…

    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…

    The price of gold is at an all time high, more than 10x what it was around 1980 when the price shot up. Before then it had been relatively flat for decades. The price of Bay Area real estate has had a slower trajectory up. As you can see in this Median Home Price Trends…

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.
What do you think of those orange flags to safely What do you think of those orange flags to safely cross the street? 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?)
