Buying or selling a home in Berkeley
Berkeley has its own rent stabilization rules for many rental units, and hillside properties may need wildfire-related insurance and defensible-space planning. We walk buyers and investors through both before an offer.
Who's Next Real Estate is a Bay Area team with eXp Realty of California (CA DRE #01878277), made up of agents Joe Prather (CA DRE #02001091), Walter Regan and Aaron Buntin. We help buyers, sellers and investors in Berkeley with pricing, marketing, negotiation and every step through closing.
