About Me

Name: Nicole Bailey

Location: Berkley, California, United States

“A Green Home is a Healthy Home” ingrained in my Seattle childhood, recycling water and resources. An early adopter of Green Real Estate, I became a "Green Building Professional" with Build it Green, and then took the green designation from the Association of Realtors. East Bay housing stock is steeped in history and inherently green. Just take a walk through the Uplands and Claremont. You’ll see hundred-year-old homes by Bernard Maybeck, Walter Ratcliff, and William Wurster. These homes have stood the test, using the highest quality materials and best technology of their times. Green builders will explain that they are doing the same thing today. It’s noted that many homes built in the 1980’s have not held up in the way of Maybecks and Morgans. Whether you love the Mid-Century Ratcliffs or the Craftsman Morgans, this area has the historic home you’ve always wanted. As a full service REALTOR, I can assist you in the process of finding a home that reflects your personal style. Being a Green Realtor means setting standards and not compromising the environment to sell a home. This way I help my clients improve the planet, one paint can at a time.
