Welcome Home, to the East Bay

with Julie Mccray

Why we might work well together …

Coming from a background in fine arts, place-making and community building, I specialize in understanding spaces, their light and flow, and recognizing the possibilities and potential that each structure holds. By truly listening to and getting to know my clients, both their dreams for the future and, just as importantly, where they feel comfortable and find joy in their present lives, I can patiently work with them to find the right fit.

People, like houses, are unique. Each has their own style and vibe. A house that authentically reflects who you are, in a neighborhood that mirrors how you live, has the power to enhance every aspect of your life.

If you are in the market for a new home, I look forward to working with you to find the place to enjoy your next chapter! And if you are looking to sell, let me help you find the perfect new caretakers for the house you’ve loved.

About Me

I've called Berkeley, Albany, and Oakland home since childhood and raised my own, now adult, children in our home in the Claremont neighborhood. I consider the whole of this gorgeous region to be my community and love each of its many diverse, rich and vibrant neighborhoods. It’s impossible to imagine living anywhere else.
My history includes founding two fine arts galleries, doing a lot of community service, being a hands-on local mom and a list of other minor adventures. I enjoy spaces that instill calm and have a welcoming flow, and love figuring out small upgrades to enhance that feeling and dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out.
