FAQ

Berkeley — FAQ

Don't see your question? Just call us.

Is Berkeley rent-controlled? +
Yes — Berkeley has some of the strictest rent control in California (Just Cause Eviction + Rent Stabilization). We buy under existing rent regulations — tenants stay at current rent, we step in as landlord. We never use Ellis Act for evictions.
Do you buy across all Berkeley neighborhoods? +
Yes — North Berkeley, South Berkeley, West Berkeley, Berkeley Hills, Elmwood, Claremont. Across all 94701-94720 ZIPs.
What about Berkeley's older housing stock? +
Most Berkeley homes are 1900s-1940s with original systems, knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint, etc. We buy as-is — no need to modernize before sale.
Can you buy properties with seismic issues? +
Yes. Many older Berkeley homes have unreinforced foundations or soft-story conditions. We've purchased seismic-flagged properties and budget accordingly in our offers.
Do you handle Berkeley student housing rentals? +
Yes — multi-unit student rentals near UC Berkeley campus are common in our pipeline. We respect existing leases through transition.
How does Berkeley transfer tax affect my sale? +
Berkeley has progressive transfer tax (1.5% under $1.6M, 2.5% over). This is a SELLER expense traditionally — but as part of our 'we pay all closing costs' policy, we cover it.
