About Sean Walsh
Sean Walsh is an Oakland and Berkeley Hills listing agent with Cush Real Estate, known for a design-forward approach that helps sellers achieve standout results across the East Bay. A Bay Area native who grew up walking open houses with his father, Sean developed an early appreciation for architecture, thoughtful design, and the emotions tied to buying and selling a home. After leading a luxury sales team to record-breaking success, he transitioned into residential real estate full-time and has now closed more than $50 million in Bay Area sales. He serves homeowners throughout Oakland and Berkeley as a licensed Realtor.
Sean is best known for his Key-to-Close Concierge™ approach, powered by Cush Real Estate’s in-house design and preparation process, a fully managed prep and marketing system designed to make selling feel clear, organized, and profitable. It starts with a discovery consultation to understand your goals and create a Cush-informed design game plan that fits your home and your timeline. From there, Sean and the Cush Design team build a detailed scope and budget for value-driving improvements like paint, flooring, lighting, landscaping, carpentry, and cosmetic upgrades that align with Cush Design standards and buyer behavior in today’s market. Once approved, he coordinates Cush’s in-house design team and trusted vendor network who help manage timelines, and oversee quality control with weekly updates so you always know what is happening and why.
When your home is market ready, Sean brings the launch to life with professional staging, high end photography, drone videography, and strategic marketing targeted to the right buyer pool. He pairs that presentation with a pricing strategy grounded in local data and current demand, then negotiates with the same discipline he brings to the prep process to protect your price, terms, and leverage. Clients often say the experience feels effortless because Sean runs every detail from start to finish.
Sean’s work is grounded in deep East Bay neighborhood expertise, especially across Rockridge, Upper Rockridge, Montclair, Grand Lake, Claremont, and North Berkeley. He lives in Oakland with his two sons, and their senior pit bull, Bella. Outside of work, he’s usually golfing or hiking Joaquin Miller Park with his sons, which gives him a real feel for the lifestyle details that matter most to buyers and sellers, from school pockets and trail access to the local spots that make a neighborhood feel like home.
Backed by Cush Real Estate’s marketing resources and concierge support, Sean delivers boutique level service with a high performance execution plan. He tracks the return on improvements, explains the strategy in plain language, and keeps the process calm and transparent throughout. If you want a trusted Oakland listing agent who understands design, preparation, and how to position your home for the strongest outcome, Sean is ready to guide you from keys to close.
