711 Elm Street, El Cerrito 

Our friends Laurie and Chase have deep roots and close ties to these wonderful pocket neighborhoods in El Cerrito.   Their current abode was starting to feel a wee bit small however and something bigger was definitely needed.  When this wonderful, one-level four bedroom and two bath (with plenty of storage) arrived on the market we couldn’t resist and swooped immediately, locking in the deal by personal presentation of our offer.

We helped to arrange financing, inspections and a rent-back for the delightful Sellers, who were just as excited as we were to have Laurie and Chase move into this great community.  Overall a very smooth transaction which closed ahead of schedule.  Congrats to all!

My partner and I worked with Derek in purchasing our home. Derek consistently went out of his way to be there for us. He has exceptionally strong interpersonal skills, which translated into smooth negotiations with the seller’s agent and sellers. He really walked us through the process and answered questions along the way. He also has terrific connections with vendors…both the lender who turned out to be even better than the good option provided through my union and various inspectors and contractors. He is the perfect REA and was a great coach through this exciting but somewhat scary process.
