I am a dedicated REALTOR®, committed to environmentally and socially conscious business. I provide excellent service, peace of mind, and ease for my clients.  I make it my business to insure that you are totally taken care of and have fun throughout the buying or selling process.

My goal is to provide my clients with a high level of service and insure that you are totally taken care of and have fun throughout the buying or selling process.

I am pleased to say that referrals continue to be my number one source of business, as my clients are happy knowing that their friends, family and associates will experience the same level of commitment when they need a Realtor.

Because I know that business practices affect the well-being of the community, I donate a portion of every sale to the Bay Institute, a local environmental organization working to protect and restore our Bay. Thanks for working with me to help make this a better world!

I live in Oakland with my dog Fibi and my husband Cortt Dunlap, co-founder of the Awaken Café, a green espresso bar and art gallery in the heart of downtown Oakland. We were married in October of 2007 in an ecologically responsible wedding in the East Bay.

I offset my energy consumption at my home office by purchasing wind-energy from Renewable Choice Energy. I also purchase my office products from the Green Office, print my marketing materials on 100% post consumer waste recycled paper using non-petroleum based inks at Greenerprinter.com, reduce my junk mail through Greendimes, and am constantly exploring new avenues for making my business greener.

In addition to helping you buy or sell property, I can recommend trusted and experienced home repair/remodel specialists, house-cleaners, landscapers and other service providers.

I look forward to working with you!

Testimonials:

"I couldn't be happier about my decision to work with Shalene to sell my condo in Berkeley. I looked forward to receiving her calls and emails because I knew she was doing everything she could to help me get top dollar for my place. She put me in touch with an amazing team of people to get my condo into prime selling condition, and she helped coordinate everything while I was hundreds of miles away. Shalene works incredibly hard at making sure all the details are covered and that you are completely satisfied with your real estate transaction, and she does it with a refreshingly high level of amiability and professionalism."

"Working with Shalene on the sale of our home was a thoroughly positive experience. Her understanding of the East Bay real estate market, her effective promotional strategies, and her attention to detail resulted in a sale that exceeded my most hopeful expectations. I especially appreciated her very conscientious involvement in every aspect of the selling process and her prompt communication to me about each new development. I can highly recommend this competent and diligent Realtor."

- Martin (Berkeley, CA)

"Shalene was like a guiding light in the realization of our new home for our business. I was impressed by her ability to be absolutely firm yet incredibly polite. When we didn't get the first space we wanted, I was about to give up when I got a phone call from her saying she found the perfect spot! It turned out to be much bettter than the first and a perfect fit for our new cafe. She was a committed negotiator and extremely knowledgable about all aspects of the process. She was patient with us and willing to LISTEN to our needs. I loved working with her and she made everything fun!"
