organicrealtor I'm a sucker for brass accents - anyone else? 🤩 I keep thinking this trend will fall out of favor, but there's something about brass that is both luxurious and timeless. Here are some other reasons to love it: ✨ It’s easy to clean and requires very little maintenance. It wears slowly and won’t rust. It’s a durable metal that’s difficult to scratch and dent. Brass looks good with a wide range of other materials, including wood, plastic, glass, bronze and stone. It works with both casual and formal settings. ✨ Brass isn’t new in home decor, and the ridiculously shiny and bold brass look isn’t on the comeback trail. Modern brass features brushed, satin or hammered finishes. It’s a more subtle and rustic look than the brass from the past. Antique brass is equally popular, offering a rich finish with its age. ✨ Mix brass finishes with colors, patterns and solids. It works with dark and blond wood. If you’re interested in incorporating brass into your home remodel, consider some of these uses: • Kitchen cabinet handles • Bathtub and sink fixtures • Door handles and locks • Fireplace accents • Staircase railings • Range hoods • Wall sconces • Light fixtures • Art frames ✨ While brass is a sturdy material that will last for decades, consider what it’s paired with to maintain its value when you’re ready to sell your home. For example, quality faucets and wooden cabinets from reliable manufacturers will hold their value and elegance longer than poorly made versions. #organicrealtor #compass #agentsofcompass #luxuryrealestate #househunting #homebuying #homeselling #milliondollarlisting #justsold #dreamhome #eastbay #thetown #bayarea #eastbayrealestate #bayarearealestate #oaklandrealestate #berkeleyrealestate #kensingtonrealestate #elcerritorealestate #albanyrealestate #richmondrealestate

organicrealtor In mid-April, E&I reached out to me with an urgent message: their family needed to move. I quickly got them set up with a local lender and a strategic plan to get them a home. We communicated frequently, and I found them an amazing opportunity on a home in North Berkeley, listed by my friend @andreagordonrealestate 🙌🏼 Yesterday I got to hand them the keys to their gorgeous new home, just six weeks after their initial contact! 🎉 #justsold #organicrealtor #compass #agentsofcompass #luxuryrealestate #househunting #homebuying #homeselling #milliondollarlisting #justsold #dreamhome #eastbay #thetown #bayarea #eastbayrealestate #bayarearealestate #oaklandrealestate #berkeleyrealestate #kensingtonrealestate #elcerritorealestate #albanyrealestate #richmondrealestatemarket

organicrealtor Thank you guys for this heartfelt review - it made my day! 🥰 I couldn't be happier with how the process went in finding your home, not least of which was the appraisal coming in HIGHER than your purchase price 👏🏼 #welcomehome ✍🏼 In their words: "Working with Mike was awesome! He was recommended to us by a friend and from the first contact Mike was very responsive, attentive and caring: everything you wish from your realtor! His attention to detail and patience made the search for our new home smooth and stress free. During our first conversation, Mike took time to understand our needs, wants and everything in between. He gave us access to listings that matched our budget and gave us feedback on every single one we were interested in. Once we were ready to start visiting, he organized the visits and everything went smoothly. He helped us write an offer, recommended how to make a good negotiation and helped us throughout the entire process until we had the keys to our home. It is amazing to work with someone that is not only passionated about his job, but also cares deeply about his clients! We recommend Mike 1000% if you are looking to buy in the East Bay!" - Valerie and Thomas #organicrealtor #compass #agentsofcompass #luxuryrealestate #househunting #homebuying #homeselling #milliondollarlisting #justsold #dreamhome #eastbay #thetown #bayarea #eastbayrealestate #bayarearealestate #oaklandrealestate #berkeleyrealestate #kensingtonrealestate #elcerritorealestate #albanyrealestate
