Why We Do This Work
We believe real estate should be rooted in care, not just contracts. Our clients deserve to feel informed, respected, and heard — not rushed, confused, or sold to. That’s why we built a business that’s transparent, thoughtful, and community-minded.
We’re not just agents — we’re neighbors, hikers, potters, volunteers, and community builders. We live here, we love it here, and we want that feeling to ripple out to every client we serve.

We Give Back
We invest 5% of every commission into local causes, from the El Cerrito Youth Baseball to Rich City Rides. When you work with us, you’re not just building your future — you’re strengthening this community.
We Work Smart
With backgrounds in tech, design, and marketing, we bring strategy, storytelling, and serious hustle to every deal. That means polished listings, sharp negotiations, and creative solutions tailored to each client.
We Stay Human
No pushy sales vibes here — just two agents who take pride in keeping things real, responsive, and refreshingly jargon-free.
For Sellers
We’ll position your home to shine. From pricing strategy and prep to beautiful marketing and expert negotiation, we know how to tell your home’s story — and get results.
For Buyers
We’re East Bay locals with deep neighborhood knowledge and a no-nonsense approach. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned mover, we’ll guide you every step of the way, with clear info and a steady hand.
