Strategic guidance for East Bay and San Francisco homeowners navigating high-stakes real estate transitions—especially when selling and buying decisions overlap and the margin for error is small.

 

 

With Top East Bay Realtors® Wayne Cory & Joseph Chen, real estate starts with understanding people and the decisions they face during important transitions. Proudly rooted in the East Bay—including Oakland, Berkeley, Castro Valley, and surrounding communities—as well as San Francisco, they’ve helped homeowners navigate complex buying and selling decisions with confidence since 2004.

Many of their clients aren’t simply buying or selling a home—they’re coordinating timing, equity, lifestyle changes, and market risk all at once. Their approach is both personal and strategic. They listen carefully, analyze the full picture, and provide clear, informed guidance so each decision supports the outcome you want.

Built on trust and backed by deep local market knowledge, Wayne & Joseph are known for providing steady leadership, thoughtful strategy, and hands-on support when the next move truly matters.
