    BySusie Wyshak April 9, 2023February 16, 2026

    Lists of the best places to live in the United States hit my inbox daily. Best places for coffee lovers, doughnut lovers, chocolate lovers, families…the themes have no end. Most of these lists are “cute” and fun. Yet most of the lists do not take into account the many things that make a place home and liveable….

    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. (The New York Times reports on the popularity of ADUs — although ignore the very low prices per square foot quoted!) But what if it turns out…

    Audit Your House Feng Shui Before Staging and Selling Your East Bay House

    BySusie Wyshak November 26, 2022February 9, 2026

High interest rates Uncertainty about the future The chance of layoffs The prospect of house prices going down Unrealistically high price expectations from sellers Multiple choice! Is bad Feng Shui driving home buyers away? Real…

    How does Proposition 19 work to keep a house’s low tax basis?

    BySusie Wyshak February 23, 2022February 16, 2026

    California’s Proposition 19 went into effect on April 1, 2021.

    How Buying or Selling a Home Off-Market Works – That’s how I got my vacation rental!

    BySusie Wyshak November 25, 2021February 16, 2026

    Some home owners wanted to sell their property quickly and easily. They mentioned this to my family, who told me. One month later, I had a vacation home property that is truly my second home. This was in Maine, where I hired a lawyer to review documents and take care of the title transfer and…

#Staycation Bay Area style! The great thing about #Staycation Bay Area style! The great thing about the Bay Area is you literally will never run out of cool things to discover. To my surprise, I had never been to the Japantown in San Jose, the third in California, along with San Francisco and Los Angeles. It's just a couple of blocks long and packed with all kinds of adorable Japanese-themed gift shops, the wonderful @manusushi , @royscoffee (which is a must-visit if you love converted gas stations and also vintage Coca-Cola in bottles), and a new French bakery that was mobbed. My suggestion is to organize a bucket list day where you go to Japantown in San Jose for lunch and Japantown in San Francisco for dinner! Enjoy! And please comment if we missed anything that we must check out on our next visit. @visitcalifornia @visitsanjose @japantownneighborhoodassoc

I spontaneously made one of my favorite sweet snac I spontaneously made one of my favorite sweet snacks: chocolate almond bar with flaked sea salt As a lazy cook, chocolate maker and baker I'm always looking for shortcuts. Enjoy my 5-minute chocolate bark tutorial. Make it with any inclusions you like. (Brown Rice Krispies?!) Instead of using Bay Area-made @guittardchocolate wafers, which I love, I experimented with 46% cocoa oat milk chocolate #berkeleymade by @tchochocolate Yummmm. It is a delicious dark milk chocolate that melted exactly like dairy milk chocolate. The perfect vegan sweet snack! I have some more of the vegan chocolate and if you are in the Berkeley or Oakland area and want to try, please shoot me a message. #veganchocolate #chocolaterecipe #berkeleyfoodie #oatmilkchocolate
