Welcome to the good life in Berkeley!

I first came here many many years ago as a UC Berkeley student and am so glad after decades, the café is thriving with a parklet and a loyal following with its good old-fashioned, healthy comfort food.

What's for lunch? The Berkeley Farmers Market of course.

So excited to be entering the second week of open So excited to be entering the second week of open houses for 2431 McKinley Ave. in Berkeley -- a Mediterranean style 4 bedroom home with a detached ADU.

2431 McKinley Ave 
Open August 1 & 2 2-5pm

✅ Comment or DM WANT for details & a link to BerkeleyBasecamp.com 

If Mediterranean style, extra space in an ADU and a central location* near BART top your must-have house hunting list (or your clients' lists), the time to visit is now!
 
* a neighbor said he never had to get a drivers license in his 80ish years in the area because he walks and takes public transportation everywhere around the Bay Area...including  counties across the Bay!

We stayed in touch over the years, no pressure, life changes. They finally found the one. They are stoked. I am stoked! 🔥

YouTube Home Tours & Tips
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.

With the original 1925 home lifted in 2003 to create the ground level and perform a full update on the house, this is a rare Berkeley property that combines character, space, condition, charm and location in the Berkeley flats, in the historic Spaulding-McGee district.
