“As your agent, my goal is to

”
Candace graduated from U.C. Berkeley with highest
honors in Architecture. She has worked as a designer
and developer on many residential projects and as a
Planner for the Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville Redevelopment
Agencies. In Berkeley, she did the planning for the
Savo Island Housing Cooperative and was responsible
for developing the first program of Section 8 set-asides
for mentally and physically handicapped people in Berkeley.
In Emeryville, she did inspections and design drawings
for a low-income housing rehabilitation program and
in Oakland, she developed design concepts implemented
in the Elmhurst Redevelopment Project.
Candace has had her real estate license since 1988
and specializes in residential sales in Kensington,
Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Oakland and Piedmont.
She has worked with her husband designing and building
homes and brings this experience to her clients. Her
knowledge of housing structure, geology and her analysis
of a homes’ potential for development is unique
in the industry.
Candace has helped many clients develop their homes
value prior to selling, suggesting improvements that
substantially increase value to Buyers and profit to
Sellers.
Her experience has shown her that small investments
in a home can bring large returns. This can entail
finishing off unfinished areas, styling bland homes
into exciting ones or other types of changes that go
beyond the normal painting and staging pre-sale activities.
She has developed a specialized niche for clients who
are interested in such a service called Selling
by Design.

"I am so impressed with your skill and knowledge.
You knew just the right things to do to make the house
more appealing and just the right people to get the
job done. . . Because of you, the house sold so quickly
and for such an excellent price. You inspired my confidence
from the beginning. I made the right choice!”
- M. Arnett
"We cannot recommend Candace highly enough for
anyone looking to buy a home in Berkeley. We were first-time
buyers, and Candace worked tirelessly to make sure
that we got the first house we made an offer on, amidst
11 other offers. We are certain that we would never
have been able to buy the home we wanted without her.
Candace is extremely knowledgeable about the market
in Berkeley (the East Bay), yet brings so much more
to the stressful experience of buying a home -- including
her experience as a planner/architect, her skill in
communicating even the most complicated details in
plain language, her esteem in the community, and her
connections with highly competent and efficient people.
She goes above and beyond the call of duty to take
care of every last detail -- she even sent over a plumber
our first day at our home to take care of a small leak.
She regards this as the life-transforming event that
it is, and treats the experience of buying a home in
this holistic manner. She inspires the utmost confidence,
and, truly, she is the difference between buying a
home or not."
