Erik Dreher

The real estate process can be stressful. I want to help you enjoy the experience as much as possible. As a careful listener, I work very hard to help my clients identify and realize their specific real estate goals.

In addition to owning and managing rental properties in the East Bay, I've also renovated and sold several personal homes in area. I've learned a lot about property management and home construction, and I have extensive experience in landscape design. I'm happy to share my knowledge with my clients.

As an agent, I'm comfortable getting my hands dirty, crawling under a house or getting on the roof. I can supply great references for any work that needs doing and I'm happy to help organize the project.

I moved to San Francisco at the age of 13 and promptly fell in love with the city. After studying Art History at UCSC, I moved to the East Bay in order to pursue a master's degree in Landscape Architecture at UC Berkeley. I worked for 15 years in landscape design on many large residential and institutional projects.

Currently I live in Berkeley with my wife and our two children. We're East Bay converts and feel very lucky to be raising them in such a great community. I still love garden design and native plants — you'll likely find me hanging around in a local plant nursery in my spare time.

"We had an absolutely amazing time working with Erik! He is professional, kind, honest, proactive, and practical. We were first time home buyers, and Erik made us feel super comfortable with the process. He is deeply knowledgeable about all aspects of the process of buying a home, and equally knowledgeable about evaluating home systems (plumbing, water, foundations, etc) which was important for us as we were learning about everything for the first time. Erik didn't pressure us to move quickly and make it clear his highest objective was we got the house best suited for us. Erik also found our house, as it wasn't listed on Redfin yet, so we wouldn't have landed where we did without him. The closing process was extremely smooth and easy, and Erik made sure we encountered no surprises and were prepared every step of the wa.y I would recommend Erik to anyone looking to purchase a home in the east bay!"

Holly O.

"Erik's been a great help and partner in purchasing my first home. He was responsive, available, and ensured I understood the process well and took the time to understand what I was looking for. He was also a great advocate for me and getting the best contract, price and closing navigation. I had been in contact with several agents before but Erik was by far the most attentive to my specific wants and situation. Thank you Erik!"

Vincent C.

"Erik was such a pleasure to work with. We worked with him for almost four-plus years and never did we feel rushed along in the process. He helped us understand what we were looking for in a home, and was honest with us about how those desires might intersect or not with what was available in the housing market. When we found the home we wanted, Erik provided so much helpful information—about the bidding process and what to expect when under contract, as well as tips on how to tackle home improvement projects. For first time home buyers, this was a godsend. Most of all, Erik was a consummate professional. Humane, funny, thoughtful, and kind. We felt like he was rooting for us every step of the way. I would recommend him without reservation."

Annie Dutka

"Excellent experience- agent was knowledgeable and attentive."

Rene Marie Smith

"There was so much involved in the sale of our duplex—financial, emotional, you name it. Erik made it all better. Clear communication throughout the process, patience and understanding as we took care of our parts, smart strategizing and good follow through. Couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with him."

Kirsten Flagg

"Clueless, confused, and ignorant, to say the least, would accurately describe me walking into this whole process of home buying. Erik on the other hand, professional, patient, and knowledgable, came to rescue. I first met Erik at his office where he sat down with me, listened to and took notes of my needs and requirements. Furthermore, he made valuable suggestions, based on which I set my expectations. Soon after, I was receiving relevant recommendations that were close and exact matches. Always on time, always available, Erik knows East Bay inside out. More than that, he knows the process from top to bottom and can explain things simple. Thank you Erik! If it was not for your help, I would either give up, or take long time to buy."

Milad S.

"The first time we met Erik was at one of those depressing, overcrowded open houses. We had been looking off-and-on for over 2 years, and had tried to navigate the East Bay market with three other agents. We had pretty much given up. But Erik immediately made an impression: he's genuine, hard working, persistent, well-spoken, and a true people person. Erik stuck with us, provided detailed comps reports, and gave us frank advice until we finally found our new home. Thoughout the escrow process, Erik demonstrated his expertise and his ability to push things forward when it was needed. Erik is a true professional!"

Adam L.

"The east bay real estate market is crazy! Lot's of rules and guidelines, some of them region specific. Being first time home buyers, Erik navigated my partner and I through all of them. Erik was very communicative, responsive and flexible on times to see houses (no open houses during COVID-19). I would recommend Erik to anyone looking for housing in the east bay and especially first time home buyers. He really took a lot of time to explain everything to us. And we are very satisfied with the outcome! Thanks Erik!"

Jon S.

"Honest, ethical, punctual, responsive, reliable, hard-working, personable and knowledgeable, Erik Dreher is the East Bay agent to call if you want to work with someone who has YOUR best interest at heart. Of course, I hoped our home search would be quick and easy, but, this being the Bay Area, it was instead a 9-month process during which we considered numerous properties and made bids on a handful of them. Each time we reached out to Erik about a property, he immediately put in extra work to really understand the property and the situation in which it was being sold. Without our asking for any extra input, he called listing agents to establish relationships and get a sense of the seller's goals, met us at the property or visited it on his own, crawled under houses to see foundations and mechanical systems, etc. He stuck with us patiently over the months, never pressuring us. His first and only goal was that we find the right home at the right price, and because he spent time to understand our specific situation, he was well-positioned to guide us. He has experience fixing up properties and was formerly a landscape architect. He has great contacts and can envision what a property can become. I'm sure he's an outstanding listing agent, too, and won't hesitate to call him if we ever sell a property."

Beth G.

"Red Oak has done a fabulous job of moving us through the challenging process of leaving and selling our home of 20 years. Things were very well organized beginning to end. Erik went above and beyond to support what turned out to be 3 months of work to help us move out. He then managed the agreed upon work and contractors, kept our garden alive, and planned/executed the listing of our property -- pricing, timing, and marketing -- perfectly!"

David Ancel

"We loved working with Erik! I appreciated the curated roundup emails we received during our search, and how he was always available when we had questions or wanted to go look at a house last minute. He even went and took a video of a house for us when we were stuck out of town. And above all we appreciate Erik's knowledge about homes and home repair in general, which helped us feel comfortable and fully aware of what projects might be ahead of us in the house we ended up buying. Even after closing he has been sharing resources and references which are invaluable!! Thanks Erik!!"

"Erik was a professional, kind, practical realtor. He was honest when talking with us about the house buying process and gave us realistic expectations on the 4 different offers we made. Erik had excellent breadth of knowledge that allowed him to give us excellent recommendations to anything from what price points to shoot for, to what neighborhoods to look at, to what offers would likely succeed. He responds quickly, and thoroughly covers all questions. He guided us through the escrow process with professionalism, instructing us on how to navigate any and all issues that came up. I'd recommend him to anyone I who is looking to buy or sell."

I'd recommend him to anyone I who is looking to buy or sell."

Erik O.

"We recently purchased our home in El Cerrito, and Erik was very helpful from beginning to the end with honesty and care. He researched and recommended which home would be best for us (schools, parks, shopping, public transportation, etc), and walked through all the process for first time home buyer like me. Also he helped me with general tips after owning a house like gardening, maintenance, county laws, etc. Thank you!"
