Situated at the foot of towering Mount Diablo is the city that might be considered as the center of sophistication for Contra Costa County. With all the major conveniences and quality attractions of a metropolitan hub, Walnut Creek is a favorite destination for those who want to spend quality time shopping or taking in a show.

Enjoying a rating by the respected San Francisco Chronicle as the East Bay leader for general amenities, Walnut Creek consistently drives trends and fashions for the entire county.

The Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts is a regional draw, featuring three performing art theaters with a total of 1,212 seats, as well as, the Bedford Art Gallery. The Broadway Plaza adds to the legacy of regional supremacy as a premier retail mecca for the East Bay. Within the context of wildlife museums and animal rehabilitation centers, the Lindsay Museum has earned a national reputation for its facilities and programs.

Among the treasures from the past is the Old Borges Ranch/Shell Ridge Open Space, offering a special living history program for students and other groups that provides hands-on ranching experience.

Boutiques, patio cafes, and some of the region’s most respected restaurants line the streets of Locust and Main. Among the major employers are highly visible healthcare systems such as the Kaiser Foundation, John Muir/Mt. Diablo Health Systems, and Permanente Medical Group.

Recreational facilities are equally impressive, from championship golf courses to the 101-acre Heather Farm Parks complex.

“ When we started to seriously look for houses to meet our family's needs, we chose our neighborhood expert, Carol Sawdey. It was a perfect fit for us since we wanted to stay close to our current house/school. As a neighborhood resident, Carol knows the area best. After showing us several houses that met our criteria, Carol found us the perfect one. Carol knows her business and found exactly what we were looking for in the perfect location.

Carol is the epitome of professionalism and knowledge. She has many areas of expertise when it comes to real estate. The one area that helped us the most was recommending changes to update our home. After doing some remodeling, Carol also helped us stage our home with our current fixtures and many of her own. The house looked like a model home by the time she was finished working her magic. She is truly gifted and has an amazing eye when it comes to staging/decorating. It was so refreshing to find a one stop realtor with so many different talents.

We highly recommend Carol as a realtor, house stager, decorator and friend. “ (less)

I highly recommend Carol to anyone I know looking for a realtor! We put our home on the market at a time of year that wasn’t ideal, but we sold the house the first weekend and received over our asking price, which was for more than any equivalent house in the neighborhood had ever gone for! I watched as similar homes in our neighborhood sat on the market for weeks after ours sold and I’m convinced our quick sale is due to Carol’s marketing of our home. She has a wealth of resources that we used to help us prepare our house for selling and she kept us on a schedule so we were able to list it quickly. She’s a master stager! It looked beautiful by the time it was listed. She also patiently led us through many homes as we looked for a home to downsize into. She ended up finding us a place that met all of our needs in a beautiful setting and managed to readjust the closing of our two transactions so they were timed perfectly enabling us to move just once. Carol is patient, calm, and professional and will get the job done! (less)

I want to thank Carol so much for all of her help and assistance throughout the home searching and purchasing process. I very much appreciated her always keeping me up to date on the latest home listings even while I was living 2,500 miles away and didn’t have the opportunity to view the homes in person. She was always willing to personally view the homes on my behalf and provide me with very thoughtful and candid feedback.
I certainly learned very quickly that the housing market in the Bay Area was quite different than Pennsylvania, but all of her efforts certainly made everything run very smoothly. She was always very prompt in responding to my questions and in discussing potential offers.
Once the offer on the home in Livermore was accepted, she continued to be of great help in keeping the process moving quickly and efficiently through her work with the inspectors, title company, and mortgage provider.
The timing could not have worked any better that I was able to move into the new home the day following my move from Pennsylvania to California. I know without all of her efforts and diligence it would not have been possible.
I couldn’t be happier with the home, and I want to thank Carol again for all of her hard work and support. (less)
