Blake Street Housewarming Mural complete


I just received this photo of the completed housewarming mural gift. Judging by the the two smiles in the photo, it appears to have been a success. Thank you Emily Farish Designs for your part in making this a very special and personal baby room.

Blake Street Housewarming gift

Blake Street first time homeowners are going to be the recipient of a baby mural custom-designed by Emily Farish Designs. Erika and Ben are expecting their first baby, a boy, this spring and I had suggested that I purchase a gift certificate from Emily Farish designs to help complete the baby nursery. The couple have decided on images of robots to give a little flair to the baby room. Last week I arranged a meeting between Erika and Emily. It seems the two of them have a plan and I for one, cannot wait to see the completed room.

Blake Street Buyers Ben and Erika

First time home owners Ben and Erika had a dream of purchasing their first home in Berkeley. Central Berkeley to be exact. After much looking and writing offers that were not accepted, they had just about given up all hope of  a Berkeley address when I spotted this sweet little gem for sale on Blake street. We quickly made an evening appointment and wrote an offer that same evening. Ben and Erika wrote a compelling letter along with their offer to the heir of the estate. The letter worked! The seller felt as if Ben and Erika were the right couple to become the new stewards of Blake street. With the combined efforts of the selling agent, myself and a wonderful lender , Ben and Erika closed escrow in just a little past 30 days.
