Downtown Berkeley
Downtown Berkeley has been going through a resurgence in the past few years. Pegasus Books opened a branch across the street from Barnes & Noble, the old Hinks Department Store has been converted into pleasant movie theaters (with Egyptian motif), Egghead Software has just opened a store, and word is that Eddie Bauer will be moving in soon.

Theater lovers should stop by Berkeley Repertory Theater (2025 Addison Street).

Downtown Berkeley has over a dozen movie theaters to choose from. I highly recommend buying a Landmark Theater Discount Card. Itıs good for up to two people at a time, is good for six months, and costs $25 for 5 admissions. It can be used every day at the UC Theater (where the movies change every day) and just about every time (except after 6 PM on Friday & Saturday at the other theaters.

New Yorkers - check out Arinell Pizza at (2109 Shattuck Ave) which makes a great New York style pizza.

If you're a Macintosh user, be sure to say hello to Albert Ho at MAC (2156 University Ave), and the folks down at Computer Ware (1995 University Ave)

Cambodiana at 2156 University Ave makes delicious lamb chops - really!!

We Value Your Business And Appreciate Your Referrals
Almost all our clients have been referred to us by their friends, family, local neighborhood Realtor, or found us on the Internet. One of the nice benefits of a referral based business is that we get to work with people who are motivated, financially qualified, highly educated, decisive, pleasant, and have interesting backgrounds (one client won a Gold medal at the Olympics). What's particularly rewarding is how many of our buyers and sellers have become friends.

If you're planning to buy or sell a home, we'd appreciate the opportunity to show you how you'll benefit from our services. And, if you know a friend, neighbor, or family member who is buying, selling, or relocating anywhere in the United States, we'll be happy to check our extensive database of highly qualified Realtors and refer you to a great local Realtor.
