East Bay Market
Thinking of buying a home in the East Bay—covering cities like Oakland, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, and beyond? You may be asking whether to hire a real estate agent or attempt the purchase on your own. In a competitive market where homes often receive multiple offers, it’s essential to understand how professional guidance (or the lack of it) might affect your bottom line, timeline, and overall experience.
