Westin’s local focus
Albany, El Cerrito, Kensington & North Berkeley
Four distinct communities at the heart of my real estate work. Get to know their streets, gathering places and local stories.
El Cerrito
San Pablo Avenue's music and cinema, with open space in the hills.
Kensington
Blake Garden, Arlington Avenue and Sunday mornings at Colusa Circle.
North Berkeley
North Shattuck food stops, Live Oak Park and Indian Rock.
Cerrito Village: Albany, El Cerrito and Kensington together. North Berkeley has its own guide and identity.
How I work
A different approach to real estate
Real estate decisions rarely fit into a neat funnel. Timing, family, financing, taxes, renovations and long-term plans often overlap. This site is designed to help you weigh those tradeoffs without forcing you into a single pre-defined path.
Real estate is deeply local, and good advice sometimes means bringing the right expertise to the table. When a property or situation benefits from additional neighborhood experience, I collaborate with trusted specialists across the Bay Area while remaining closely involved from strategy through closing.
How I workAlso working across the Bay
San Francisco is an active part of my practice alongside my East Bay focus. I also work with clients in Marin when an opportunity or referral brings us there.
What you can expect
Clear advice. Steady follow-through.
I will tell you what the evidence suggests, explain the tradeoffs in plain language and help you stay focused on the decisions that matter.
