In Oakland, they sought a $1 million first home near friends and trails
Briefly

Kevin McGregor and Monika Johnson moved to Oakland from the Midwest, seeking to establish roots in a community they valued. With careers in finance and clean energy, they prioritized being close to friends and nature while looking for a home within their $1.1 million budget. Their desire was to find a property that required renovations but had potential for value increase. They engaged a local agent to navigate the challenges of Oakland's housing market, balancing aesthetic desires with functional needs such as space for their dog and proximity to hiking trails.
