Author Profile - Oakland Real Estate Blog

Hi, my name is John Lockwood, and I'm the author of the Oakland Real Estate Web Site and Blog. That's my mug shot over on the right.

You know us Realtors®. We're crazy about photos.

I'm a California Real Estate Broker and member of two Multiple Listing Services as of this writing: the BayEast Association of Realtors® covering Alameda and Contra Costa County, and Metrolist in greater Sacramento. I am team lead of the Real Estate PLUS Team, a three member real estate team in the Sacramento area.

If you're an ethical and successful Oakland area agent and want to work together, call me at (800) 767-1975 and let's discuss it. The foundation of my business model is everyone treats the customer right, we all do what we're good at and like to do, and everyone wins.

Prior to getting into Real Estate in 2002, I was principle of ParticleWave, a successful software development consultancy. You know the type: will code for money. If you continue going backward in time through my life, I was a programmer working for some Silicon Valley firms, a new father working as an administrative assistant, a grad student Ph.D. dropout in the History and Philosophy of Science, getting my Master's Degree, getting married to Kathy, settling down from my reckless youth, having a reckless youth, enjoying a happy childhood in Rhode Island, and being born.

I was born at an early age.
