Our Extraordinary Buyer Brokerage System
You’ll love our web-based approach to homebuying combined with our personal
service...high tech, high touch, time efficient... just the way you always
knew it should be.
Screening homes on the market, and identifying the good, the bad (and the ugly) ones is an important part of that job
If this is the kind of information you want from a real estate agent, call us! Ring up 510-526-6668 or 510-207-4955 or 510-684-3334 or email serkes@berkeleyhomes.com and we'll get together to see if you'd like us to represent you.
Want to know what's for sale? Here's where to go!
First... you probably want to find out what's for sale... so here the link to search the Berkeley MLS
Access insider info on our password protected site accessible only
by our clients. You’ll see our “tell it

neighborhood.

Our "Cat" alogue system
LTC
= Lucy The Cat... who ranks every home between 1 and 4 paws (unless she gives it the dread "hairball" rating!
I take 200-300 photos (15-20 of each home) and Carol takes detailed notes (steps to the front door, pest control/foundation amount, busy street, etc.) during the entire Broker's Tour
Once home, we spend hours integrating the information for you:
- Identifying which photos are for each home
- Adding our comments to those of the seller's agent
- Rating each home using our exclusive LTC Rating System - LTC = Lucy The Cat, who rates each home from 1 to 4 paws, unless she gives it the dreaded "Hairball" rating
- Creating links to the MLS
- Prepare easy to read reports in Adobe Acrobat Format (perfect for searching)
- Summarize our notes for all homes we've seen which are still active on the market
- Map all active listings... with live map links to the MLS

Each home is linked to the photos we take. Just click on the thumbnail photo and see it full screen!This this is just a screen shot)
We take 15-20 photos of each home, then link the photos to the table above. For instance, photos P0140866 through P0140899 are just one home!
These are just screen shots, so the links in the table above, and "contact sheet" web photo album below, are not active.
You'll see detailed information on
the home, our tell-it-as-it-is comments, when the seller is reviewing
offers, and a photo porfolio! All this is only available to our clients!
