Sharon Fonseca

Director

SF Bay Area Realty

Broker | DRE #01818003

I have been a residential Real Estate Broker in Oakland, California – Bay Area, including but not limited to Contra Costa and Alameda county for the past 13 years. Prior to becoming a Broker, I worked as a Senior Loan Officer for 5 years, before deciding to become a full time Real Estate Broker to better serve my clients. I was raised in Oakland, California and love everything about The Bay Area. I am passionate about my career and helping families live the American Dream while becoming homeowners is something I work toward everyday.

I stay on top of the current local market so I am capable of providing the best advice to my past, current, and prospective clients. Additionally I tirelessly stay up to date with pricing trends to help ensure I am able to educate my buyers what their options are. Negotiating on behalf on my clients is something I pride myself on in an effort to achieve each transaction is in their best interest. I have certification for sales of distressed properties, which entails short sales and foreclosed homes. Since 2007, I have assisted sellers and buyers in short sale transactions and have worked with an array of banks on their foreclosed home procedures and policies.

Whether you are a new investor needing guidance in renting and managing a home or a seasoned investor with a portfolio of investment, I can help you!
