With a background working in real estate development, I’ve helped create a model sustainable neighborhood, written proposals and secured federal funding, helmed acquisition analysis for multiunit rehabs, researched and vetted plans for raw land development here on the coast, and overseen the build of ADUs and vacation rentals. Making dreams come true is what gets me up in the morning. For some of

my clients, this means buying their dream home in the heart of Berkeley, the hills of Oakland, or on the Mendocino Coast. For others, this means preparing and selling their house for the most the market can offer. For others, it means investing in the future by purchasing multiunit rental properties, or owning legacy land with ample water, fresh air, beautiful trees, privacy, and views. Whatever your dream is, I’m here to make it happen. Native to the Bay Area, Jade has lived all over Northern California, from San Francisco, the the East Bay, and Marin. She teaches a class called “Beauty and Bounty: Home Renovation for Pleasure and Profit” at the Berkeley Adult School and the El Cerrito Recreation Center.

Patio Conversion: This area between the music studio and greenhouse was muddy, messy, and unpleasant. Yet it was sunny and wind-protected at this ocean bluff-front property. We decided it was time for a makeover. And what a transformation! It became an ideal spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, and unwinding after a long day, with chimes and the sound of the ocean in the distance.

BATHROOM MAKEOVER ON A BUDGET: Sometimes you don't have time and you don't have money, but there's still a lot you can do:

This primary bath was a short and low-budget update. We weren't able to demo and redo the tile or shift layout, so we did some quick cosmetic updates and chose complementary colors to work with the existing tile as well as possible. We wanted an elegant look, that wasn't too frilly, to balance away from the pink tile toward luxurious but also simple. Sometimes just unifying elements and choosing complimentary colors is all you need to create a quick and cheap makeover!
