    How does home flood insurance work in California?

    BySusie Wyshak October 4, 2023February 16, 2026

The California Association of Realtors points out that homeowner’s insurance does not cover flood damage. After the record-breaking wildfires in California, the risk of flash flooding and mud flows increase significantly until vegetation is restored — up…

    How to Age in Place While Selling Your House in California

    BySusie Wyshak January 28, 2023February 16, 2026

    Building ADUs on a property with a single-family home or multi-family building has become the most popular way to think about multi-generational living or generating income during retirement.

    Nature Murals Painted on Houses in Berkeley and Oakland

    BySusie Wyshak January 11, 2023February 16, 2026

More rare is seeing murals, or little “spot” paintings, on the exterior of houses. There’s nothing I love more than seeing houses that reflect the passions and…

    BySusie Wyshak December 10, 2022December 7, 2025

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.
