“We worked with Holly Rose to purchase a house in North Berkeley and to sell our house in Rockridge. Within a day of finding our dream home, she advised that we make a preemptive offer, helped us come up with a dollar amount that would be attractive (but not too attractive) to the seller, and then advised us throughout the fast-paced negotiation that ensued (which resulted in a purchase price lower than our initial preemptive offer). I still call her from time to time looking for a recommendation for a contractor, painter or handyman, and she always has a name and a number of someone who brings the same excellence and judgement to his/her craft that Holly brings to hers. I could go on and on about Holly, but the bottom line is this: if I were buying or selling another house in the Oakland or Berkeley area, I would not consider using any realtor other than Holly. She is the gold standard… 5 stars is not enough.”

I am licensed to sell real estate anywhere in California. However, I specialize in San Francisco’s East Bay Area. I work almost exclusively by client referral and repeat business, so I will travel to the neighborhood where I am needed. In other words, if you sell your modest West Berkeley cottage to build your dream home on a double lot in the Oakland hills, I will assist you with both. Most of my clients focus on these areas:
Albany
Berkeley (all neighborhoods)
Claremont (Berkeley and Oakland)
Elmwood (Berkeley)
Kensington
Piedmont
Rockridge (Oakland)
Even in areas beyond those listed above, I am open to helping you as far as I am able. If I am not able to help you, let’s chat about your needs and I will be happy to make introductions to the perfect agent for you.
Hello, I’m Holly Rose. I help people buy and sell homes in the East Bay. I specialize in fine old homes with interesting or historically significant architecture.
