Touring homes in Oakland this weekend? Look past the staging. Staging sells a feeling, not a house. Check water pressure, look under sinks, open windows, and visit the block at a different time of day. Ask how old the roof and water heater are, and read the disclosures before you write an offer. The right home holds up after the tour ends. Questions about buying in Oakland? Ask me, I help families from first time buyers to seasoned buyers.
