About Marc Caddell

I came to real estate after more than a decade teaching high school math and computer science in the Napa Valley. The most valuable thing the classroom taught me is now the heart of how I work: really hearing what someone is after, and then explaining things clearly. Buying or selling a home is both a financial and a personal decision. I take the time to understand your priorities, walk you through each step in plain language, and make sure you feel prepared for every decision.

My path here has been varied. After studying engineering at the University of Texas, I served eight years as a U.S. Navy officer, where I learned to plan carefully, stay steady under pressure, and follow through on the details. I went back to UT for my MBA, and I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching. Those experiences gave me a comfort with numbers and a respect for preparation. Whether we’re weighing an offer, reviewing disclosures, or thinking through what a home will really cost over time, I’ll help you look closely at the details while keeping your larger goals in focus.

I live in El Cerrito and focus on the communities I know best: El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Richmond, El Sobrante, and San Pablo. Each has its own character, and part of my job is helping you find the place that fits the way you want to live, not just the house that checks the boxes.

My promise is simple. You’ll always know where things stand, and I’ll give you my honest opinion, even when it isn’t what you were hoping to hear.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe. I also love to travel, and Italy keeps pulling me back. I’ve been three times in the last ten years, and each trip sends me home with new ideas for dinner.
