Real Estate with Heart and Hustle

Our goal? Help you make smart, confident real estate decisions while feeling truly supported along the way.
 

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.
