Once a center of industry and shipbuilding during World War II, the city of Richmond is focused on revitalization efforts that include a green revolution, with a solar-powered waste treatment plant; industrial printers; metal scrap recyclers; and manufacturers participating in green business initiatives. The city plans to add green jobs, create a cleaner community, and build a thriving tax base that can support better public services. The city is also courting business development and future jobs in the burgeoning AI industry, as San Francisco companies look to expand and discover the benefits of Richmond's accessibility to the city--(try the Ferry from Marina Bay!)--, as well as access to an excellent work force and competitive lease rates.
"The Annex" is a small area of Northwest Richmond which borders El Cerrito and is just one mile from Albany. Traditional 1940's era homes dominate the neighborhood, with tree lined streets, bay views, local parks and wonderful access to shops and transportation. The Annex is truly a 'hidden gem' with well established diverse restaurants and shops which are true local favorites! Several farmers markets are nearby as well as the popular El Cerrito Natural Grocery which hosts community events and live music in addition to its wonderful prepared food offerings and organic groceries. The Annex also sits in-between two BART stations, and there is easy access to Point Isabel and Point Richmond for walks on the Bay Trail which continues all the way to Emeryville. The bigger shops of El Cerrito and Albany are just down San Pablo Ave., with Marin county just over the Richmond Bridge.
Other highlights in the city of Richmond include programs where residents can participate in a composting program that collects food scraps in specially marked street-side containers and it offers gardeners free compost for their backyard gardens. Richmond recycles its old buildings, too; the historic Ford assembly plant near the port of Richmond was converted into the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historic Park, operated by the National Park Service. Downtown is also experiencing revitalization, especially along Macdonald Avenue, the main commercial district that runs from 8th to 16th streets. The Richmond Main Street Initiative brings arts, music, dance, and theater to the area, transforming it into a pedestrian-friendly urban village. Welcome to "The City of Pride and Purpose"!

Your trusted advocate
I have a confession: After 25-plus years, I love my job more than ever, even as the Bay Area market has gone through dramatic changes. Maybe because of that, connecting each Client to the right property still holds my full attention and fascination. I work hard to match people and places by knowing both really well. I keep a level head, but keep in mind hopes and dreams.
I’m an upbeat and enthusiastic advocate for each of my many long term and repeat Clients. Your particular real estate challenge is what fuels me, and after decades of hands-on experience, I know how to get the job done. I’ve been told I’ve got intelligence and wit - so I will make sure you are informed and protected throughout your important transaction, striving to make the end-result a joyful occasion.
I’ve lived and raised my family in the East Bay since 1985, and have been involved in a multitude of local community activities -- schools, sports, charities and the arts. I love a good design or remodel project, and bring my knowledge to the table when my Clients evaluate properties. I pride myself on knowing our local market, from all sides, really well.
My background has set me up for success -- I attended UCLA and UC DAVIS, graduating with a degree in Economics. My many long-term friends have exposed me to (their) ART, WINE, MUSIC, TRAVEL, SCIENCE, and DESIGN...and my broad real estate clientele have done the same. I can’t believe how lucky I am to continue to make these wonderful connections who truly fuel my work.
Giving is important to me. I volunteer or donate to organizations related to Public Schools, housing and local food programs, local and overseas groups seeking to end human trafficking, climate action groups, Wounded Warrior Project and Medicins sans Frontiers.
During my downtime, I support as many varied, live, local performances as possible, and try to keep my own hand in performing too -- singing anything with a great groove! I love remodeling homes, practicing French, and listening to Korean hip hop. (Really). I’m also a movie nut, frequent traveller, and a super-fan of the English Premier League.
All these elements have made me a successful and award-winning Realtor® in the Berkeley - Oakland area since 1989. Please take a look at how I work and what others have said. I hope we can work together -- great good things will come from it!

Jack Burley
As a real estate agent specializing in Berkeley, Oakland, El Cerrito, and Albany, I bring a deep understanding of the Bay Area’s unique housing market. Growing up here and working in both construction and real estate has given me a hands-on perspective that most agents simply don’t have. With my background in bathroom and kitchen remodels, I’m able to help my clients see the potential in every property—not just what’s on the surface, but how it can truly fit their needs for both today and the future.
Working closely with tech professionals, I understand that your home is more than just a place to live—it's an investment in your lifestyle and future. I’m here to make the buying or selling process seamless, efficient, and tailored to your specific goals. Whether you’re looking for a space with modern conveniences, home-office potential, or a property that’s ready to be personalized, my expertise in construction and design adds another layer of value that sets me apart from the typical agent.
When I’m not helping my clients navigate the Bay Area real estate market, you can find me playing trombone in an orchestral band or working in the studio mixing and mastering for local artists. I also love spending time outdoors, especially after three years as a ski instructor in Bozeman, Montana.
I’m always looking to connect with tech professionals interested in making strategic real estate decisions. Let’s talk about how I can help you find your perfect space in the Bay Area or get the most value out of your current property. Feel free to reach out to me directly—I’d love to connect!
