Get to Know Me

 

Certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES): 510.381.2101

My great-great-grandfather, Fortunado Arriola, was an early California artist and teacher of many - one of his pictures hangs in the Oakland Museum. As a fifth generation Californian from a family of artists, I see everything in pictures and strive to make those pictures perfect.
 
With a background in both art and marketing, I see the big picture first then break it down into smaller parts, just like when creating a painting. I love this process because I get to explain to buyers how to really look at a house, and I help sellers with the vision of bringing the best out of their homes. For all my clients I am picky, and I keep at it until I get it right.
 
Since 1996 I have represented over 425 clients in transactions valued at over $435M. Over the past 5 years my listings sold an average of 26% over list price after being on the market for an average of just 15 days. In 2022 I was ranked among the top 0.7% of agents in the Inner East Bay and one of Red Oak’s top producing agents.
 
But numbers aren’t everything. There are many great agents in the East Bay. For some, real estate is just a livelihood. For others it is a passion. For those of us that fall into the passion category, we each bring our unique skills to helping buyers find the right home, and giving sellers the vision of how their home can be its absolute best.
 
I bring enthusiasm, a genuine desire to help others, and the willingness to jump into a challenge! I love to create solutions and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. As the purchase and sale of real estate is faster and more complex than ever, the need for an informed advisor could not be more important. My goal is to help you develop a strategy that serves both your short and long-term needs when you are ready to buy or sell.
 
As a former owner/partner of Marvin Gardens Real Estate, I’ve been involved with all facets of real estate since 1980. I’ve run an office, created budgets, trained agents, solved problems, and helped hundreds of buyers and sellers reach their dreams. Marvin Gardens merged with Red Oak in 2019 to create the largest independent real estate office in the East Bay. We are truly a home-grown office and proud of it!

  • This was my third transaction with Ann and although a lot of steps could have been stressful as a seller, she informed me of every important decision and step along the way and took care of a million little details without me needing to worry about anything at all. This diligent, hard working and honest realtor made for a very smooth transaction!
    — Olivier T.
  • We recently completed our third deal with Deidre and her team, this time as the sellers. Deidre masterfully presented our bungalow style house. Although our house was smaller in size, it sold for about $1,000 per square foot. An exceptional result. Credit goes to the condition of the house, its location, and Deidre's skill. Deidre is the best in the business!
    — Michael S.
  • Deidre and her team were great! They helped us sell our condo, getting a good price, even in this down market. They understood what was special about our place and tailored the marketing to that. She is knowledgeable, helpful, honest, and fun!
    — Ellen O.
  • I knew years before selling my home that I'd choose my dear friend, Deidre Joyner from Red Oak Realty in Oakland, as my agent. Not only is her resume impressive she's consistently a Top Producer and everyone's go-to for anything related to the housing market but she's also someone I trust deeply. Selling my home after 23 years was incredibly emotional. It wasn't just a house; it was filled with memories, and letting go marked a big life transition as I became an empty-nester. When it came time to make difficult decisions whether to stage, update, or change aspects of the home I sometimes felt overwhelmed. That's where Deidre stepped in, not just as ...
    — Cynthia H.
  • A team that has a true understanding of the real estate market and associated trends. Deidre and Nicole define excellent communication, flexibility and an eye for detail. Having previously sold a home with Deidre a few years ago, I was delighted to reach out to Deidre and team when it came to purchasing. Surrounded by a top notch network of professionals, Deidre and the Red Oak team will continue to be my families real estate choice.
    — Ed C.
  • I want to express my deepest gratitude to Deidre Joyner, a highly skilled realtor, and her exceptional team, particularly Nicole Paez. Their remarkable efforts led to a successful closing on our home, surpassing the asking price, within just two weeks. For anyone considering relocating to or from the California Bay Area, I highly recommend Deidre Joyner and her team.
