We take on the name Locally Real because our team has been living and working in the East Bay for a very long time. Get to know us a little better: www.redoakrealty.com/agent/JK2M/about/index.php

You might love your bright accent wall, but it could be a turnoff for your buyer. Stay safe with a neutral color- it's rare that someone hates it, and lighter tones will help buyers envision whatever color they want on the wall.

Locally Real is a proud supporter of the Red Oak Opportunity Foundation. Learn more about the work being done to help local charities helping East Bay residents: www.redoak-roof.org/

Don't rule out houses that need work, even if you are not up for doing it yourself! The lower price plus the cost of renovations may add up to less than the price of a completely renovated home.

Wishing you lots of love from all of us at Locally Real!

Green is good, because plants create a more welcoming environment to buyers. Consider a bouquet of flowers or bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter or dining table.

Don't be afraid to walk away from a bad deal on a home! Trust your realtor to work to find the property that best meets your wants and needs.

We're passionate about finding a home for everyone, which is why our Locally Real team works with Giveback Homes, a community of real estate professionals who are committed to creating social change by helping build homes for deserving families around the globe.
