    BySusie Wyshak February 2, 2024December 8, 2025

    On a recent trip to Mexico, the sound of the ocean crashed with the sounds of building. Everywhere! Beautiful, modern condos in Puerto Vallarta had caught my eye on Airbnb. So I wondered: Is it really safe to buy a condo pre-construction in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico? How do you know the quality and that you’re…

Got #kitchenremodel goals? If you're in the Bay Ar Got #kitchenremodel goals? If you're in the Bay Area, you must come to the 15th biennial #Rockridge Kitchen Tour on September 27th. It is a very well organized tour of 10 remodeled kitchens, including 8 houses and 2 ADUs. Why go to open houses for kitchen design ideas when you can meet owners who are intentionally inviting you in to see how they remodeled their kitchens? This tour booklet is a keeper, telling the stories from the homeowners who undertook their remodels along with a resource guide. You learn about their designers, contractors, painters, and design choices. As a sponsor, I will be stationed outside one of the homes chatting about home goals and handing out snacks! Hope to see you there! rockridgekitchentour.com #bayarearealestate #oaklandevents #eastbayevents DRE 02144226 Compass
So inspired and in love with Berkeley all over aga So inspired and in love with Berkeley all over again after broker tour today. Many of the homes for sale right now had very longtime owners who made thoughtful updates over the years. 1170 Colusa in North Berkeley listed by @team_yuyu is a real standout with the beautifully remodeled kitchen and coffee nook, paired with luscious vintage tile in several rooms as well as cozy spaces, surrounded by greenery. I could hardly tear myself away from 2435 Valley in Poets Corner, listed by Grace Bishop (@east_bay_move_with_grace ) because of the very thoughtful spaces, and beautiful woodwork. Eooms with curved glass block walls facing the backyard and lots of light. 200 amp electrical panel! Both 948 Hilldale (listed by @saltandpinerealestate ) and 740 Keeler (listed by @negarandferirealestate ) are all about the bay views, both with remarkably flat backyards. I have hosted open houses before at 740 Keeler and love and know it well! While you are greeted within incredible bay view, it is very possible to make this house livable on a single level. Then there's the bucket list Julia Morgan home listed by @seejanesellhomes that transports you to Italy just a few blocks above Shattuck and the cheeseboard. The columns! The arches! The miniature door knockers on the hallway closet doors! I want to be there. it has been so well updated in keeping with the original Morgan design. Just a few blocks from the northside of the #UCBerkeley campus where the architecture school used to be. Take a peek at these houses from the flats to the hills and let me know your priorities in terms of space, location, style, views, and condition. DM for details and tours!

Real estate matchmaking success! 2431 McKinley Ave Real estate matchmaking success! 2431 McKinley Ave in Central Berkeley has welcomed a new generation of owners. Once we went on the market things moved quickly. Getting there took time: @amandabrunato and I helped our client strategize a life and real estate move, prep the property, and make lots of make decisions big and small. We marketed extensively to the community, the internet and fellow agents. Match made! Thanks to @loveandstaging for creating an irresistible vibe, @negarandferirealestate for a wonderful transaction and @kivamarie and Chicago Title for seeing it though. Central Berkeley was my stomping grounds for work, commuting and shopping during my years at @ucberkeleyofficial Having the pleasure of highlighting this amazing area to newcomers was a great joy during our listing period.

Convincing aspiring home buyers NOT to buy a house or to understand what it will take to fix up a house is JOB #1 as a buyer's agent. Showing houses after a torrential rain is a joy. How is the property draining? Is any water getting into the foundation or the house? Where is the water coming from - the roof or the earth or both? What isn't job #1? Getting you to buy any old house. Get more home buying tips from your straightshooting Agent Susie at https://www.susiewyshak.com DRE 02144226 Compass
