It's an honor to be considered to help guide you through the home selling process. 2524 14th Ave has real character, beautiful updates, a classic shingled facade, and a layout that works hard for whoever calls it home next. With a 3-bedroom upstairs and a separate 2-bedroom lower level, this property speaks to a wide range of buyers; from growing families to investors. My job over is to show you exactly how I'll position this home to get it in front of the right buyers, priced to perform, and sold on your timeline.
A huge selling point

A lower-level unit that opens up the buyer pool
A - Multi-generational households: Parents, adult children, or extended family can have their own private space under one roof, a layout that's increasingly in demand across the Bay Area.
B - Buyers looking to offset their mortgage: A separate unit means a built-in plan to rent it out and apply that income toward the monthly payment, a meaningful factor in today's rate environment.
C - Investors: For buyers thinking about short-term or mid-term rental income, I can provide Airbnb market data so they can see the unit's earning potential.
Beyond the main 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, the lower level offers a separate, updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath living space, a feature that speaks to several different kinds of buyers at once. This is who we will be targeting.
Disclosure: Permit status on the lower-level unit is still being confirmed and will be disclosed accurately, this could impact the desirability.
The Process to Sell
1. Walkthrough & pricing study - I walk the house with you, flag anything that could slow a sale, and guide you on pricing based on recent sales. This is based on data, not just a hunch.
2. Presentation & positioning - Photography, videography, marketing copy, and disclosures prepared before the home ever goes live, so the listing tells the right story on day one, not after the first round of feedback.
3. Network preview - Before the public launch, the listing goes out to the agents I work with directly across the East Bay, many of whom may already have buyers circling this neighborhood.
4. Live & reported - Open houses, broker tours, and showings, each one followed by direct feedback to you within 24 hours. No waiting for a weekly check-in call.
5. Offers & close - Every offer reviewed with you side by side, terms explained plainly, and the file managed through closing so nothing slips at the finish line.
Strategic Pricing
The list price isn't a random number. It's a strategic marketing tool that determines how many buyers tour your home and how many end up competing for it.
Price too high, and the home sits: fewer showings, fewer offers, and eventually a price drop that signals something's wrong. Price it right, and you bring a wave of qualified buyers through in the first two weeks, all comparing this home to the same comps. That's when buyers start competing with each other.
How it works: Price to invite competition
Why It Works Here: Highland Terrace rewards it
This is a pocket of Oakland with real buyer demand. A well-priced, well-presented home here doesn't need to be marked up to perform. It needs to be positioned to get as many eyes on it as possible in the first weekend, so the market itself pushes the price up.
The Pricing Evidence
I typically pull comparable sales (“comps”) within a half mile of the home and from within the last six months. This is the same window buyers will be looking at to judge value, and what an appraiser will use to justify it once we’re pending. This data is extremely important.
But comps only tell part of the story.
A few other things move the number: recent updates, location (a busy street or a quiet block can shift buyer interest), lot size, layout, and of course, how well the home is marketed (that’s where I come in). Professionally marketed homes consistently sell for more.
