Buy Home Oakland: 
Like San Francisco, our city is very diverse and offers a rich variety of neighborhoods from which to choose. Small districts of shops and restaurants serve certain neighborhoods, such as Glenview, Grand/Lakeshore, Crocker Highlands, Rockridge, Fruitvale, Jack London Square and parts of Montclair. Other neighborhoods are located in the quiet hills, such as Grass Valley, Redwood Heights, and the neighborhoods on the ridge along Skyline Boulevard. If you want a more city-like environment you might explore Adams Point, the area around Lake Merritt or the downtown area. 
    There is so much to do here. Take your children to Children's Fairyland on Lake Merritt, which offers wonderful puppet shows, and performances by acrobats and magicians, plus amusements based on fairy tales. Visit the renowned Zoo in the southern part of the city. You can visit the Space and Science Center, located in the East Bay Regional Park District and follow with a hike along one of the many popular trails. Attend a game at the Stadium or the circus at the Colosseum. Attend a show or concert at the Paramount Theatre, enjoy a Symphony concert or spend the evening at the Ballet.

Buy Home In Oakland California

with an
Exclusive Buyer Agent (EBA)


Look what you can get for free:

buy, home, oakland, luxury, probate, for sale, new, foreclosure, duplex, condo

This site leads you to the help of an EBA. We show you all the properties you might want to see, even tenant occupied, probate, foreclosures, REOs, government owned, fixers, bank owned, for sale by owner, VA, HUD, as well as Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Even more important than that, we negotiate on your behalf 100%. First we determine actual market value. We want to save you money, as much as possible.

We give you complete loyalty and maintain the utmost confidentiality. We make sure the property you select is thoroughly inspected. We know you want no surprises after the sale. We discuss investment aspects, including what can be done to improve value for future resale. We also express reasons not to purchase, and we warn you away from bad deals.


EBA's only work with Purchasers, never Sellers.
Statistically about 40% of all real estate purchasers in America use the first agent they meet. We urge you to interview at least 3 agents before choosing one. With some 15,000 plus agents in the local multiple listing system serving the above cities, understandably selecting good brokers is problematic. Choosing an agent who wants to sell you his/her company's listings has its obvious pitfalls. Picking an agent on the basis of their personality is wrong, too. We urge you to choose specialists who will represent you 100%, someone with experience and expertise investing years on the purchaser's side; one who will help you purchase property of your choice, not try to sell you something you don't want, or that you will regret having bought. Very few agents will show you for-sale-by-owners, foreclosures, tenant occupied, distressed houses, and properties where the commission offered by the listing agent is too low. However, our agents will show you any of these properties.

focused on the art, history and natural sciences of California. It has permanent collections of early Californian watercolors and paintings, dioramas exhibiting California wildlife and native plants and flowers, and exhibits about the Gold Rush, earthquakes, computers, Hollywood and more. The Museum of California is a great source of pride for the community.
    The city constantly speaks to its residents and visitors of its rich past through the names which residents have come to recognize. The Ohlone Wilderness Trail reminds us of the Ohlone Indians who inhabited the area over 2000 years ago. Lake Merritt and Merritt College are named after Dr. Samuel Merritt who donated the area that is now Lake Merritt. Peralta Hospital is named after a Spanish sergeant who originally owned the land that is now our city.
    In 1842, Luis Maria Peralta, a Spanish Sergeant, gave the land which is now our city to two of his sons, Antonio Maria and Vicente. Don Peralta had received this land 22 years earlier as part of a land grant from the King of Spain, as a reward for his military service. When the gold rush began in 1849, the village became a major staging point for people and cargo travelling between the bay and the sierra foothills. Three years later, the town was incorporated, with 75 residents, the estuary was dredged and shipping wharves were built. It became an independent shipping destination. It was also an official stop for the Pony Express. The city's Chinatown dates back to a small Chinese settlement in 1870 and is a thriving business district today.
