📣 Receiving a Notice of Default is an event. It's not your identity.

I've worked with homeowners across the East Bay for over 40 years, and here's what I always tell them first: you don't have to have it all figured out right now. You just have to know what your choices are.

Whether that means selling, restructuring, or something else entirely, there is a path forward, and you don't have to find it alone.

Text "OPTIONS" to 510-858-0005 and I'll walk you through what's available to you.

📣 JUST SOLD - MARKET | 345 49th Street, Oakland - Listed $929,000 | Sold $1,260,000 (35% Over Asking!)

We are thrilled to share that 345 49th Street in trendy Temescal has officially sold, closing at an incredible 35% over the asking price.

This spacious, charming, and immaculate home was sunny and bright from front to back, featuring a formal dining room, original built-ins, hardwood floors, new windows, and many new appliances. A large storage area in the basement added everyday function, while the private, sunny yard with raised beds and parking offered room to garden, gather, and unwind. Located just steps from Temescal's acclaimed dining and Rockridge's boutique shopping, it captured the very best of North Oakland living.

What makes this result especially remarkable is that the home was technically a condominium, even though it lived and felt like a separate house. To see it sell so far above asking speaks to the strength of this market, the appeal of this neighborhood, and the power of thoughtful preparation and marketing.

If you have been wondering what your home could be worth in today's market, we would love to connect.
