Marvin Gardens Real Estate is an independently owned East Bay real estate company specializing in the communities of Berkeley, Oakland, Rockridge, Montclair, El Cerrito, Kensington, Albany, Piedmont, Richmond, El Sobrante, Emeryville, Hercules and Pinole.

We have helped thousands of people buy and sell homes and property, vacant lots, income property, fixer-uppers, contractor specials, condos, town homes, duplexes, tri-plexes, four-plexes, six-plexes and condominiums since 1977. We help sellers determine the value of their homes and property, with home preparation, staging, marketing, and advertising, negotiations, escrow management and a closing, at the highest price and best terms possible.

Our job for both buyers and sellers is to provide counseling and real estate knowledge on home prices and valuation and appraisal, home location and condition, and refer the appropriate experts such as home inspectors and structural pest control inspectors, or termite inspectors to help them make prudent home buying and selling decisions to best protect their investment.

We link to the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR). We link to the Online Guide to Bay Area Private Schools.
