Berkeley's Elmwood Neighborhood
The Elmwood and Claremont neighborhoods are home to some of Berkeley's largest grand old homes. The two neighborhoods adjoin each other.

They are highly favored for its easy BART commute to San Francisco.

College Avenue, Elmwood's main shopping street is home to the Elmwood Pharmacy (with an old fashioned soda fountain), the recently refurbished Elmwood Theater, Bolfings Elmwood Hardware, and a many excellent restaurants and delis. Ultra Lucca is a favorite deli of mine - it always has an attractive display of food.

Espresso Roma on the corner of Ashby and College makes great coffee.

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.

Ira Serkes, GRI, CRS - Certified Residential Specialist, co-author of Nolo Press' "How To Buy A House In California," and Carol Serkes, GRI, CRS, are Realtors with the RE/MAX Real Estate network.
