Beverly Hills or Berkeley? For Susie Wyshak, 90210 and 94705 were worlds apart yet both such iconic parts of California and parts of Susie's "secret sauce" as a Concierge Realtor.A little backstory...
Susie landed at UC Berkeley and fell in love with the Bay Area's Mediterranean weather, nature minutes from downtown, local food, music scene, coffee, and culture — expertise she now shares with clients wondering "What's the best neighborhood for me?"
Her meandering careers from marketing properties at Berkeley’s pioneering Mason McDuffie real estate company to leading marketing initiatives at ground-breaking tech companies feeds into Susie's unique perspectives on real estate and wealth strategies.
She also parlayed her experiences with artisanal food into a food business book and blog as well as a book about California-born Trader Joe's.
