Meet the Team

Meet the Team Behind Oakland's
#1 Luxury Real Estate Firm

Cush Real Estate isn't built on one person's success, it's powered by an entire ecosystem of specialists who have mastered the art of turning properties into record-breaking sales. Our elite team of real estate agents, in-house designers, marketing experts, and executive staff brings a level of coordination and expertise that solo agents and traditional brokerages simply cannot replicate.

What makes the Cush team different? Every member operates at the intersection of their specialized skill and our collective 26-year track record. Our agents don't just list homes—they leverage an integrated design division, world-class marketing infrastructure, and proven negotiation strategies that consistently deliver 33% over-list performance. Our designers don't just stage properties, they execute strategic transformations guided by decades of data on what sells in Oakland's luxury neighborhoods. Our marketing team doesn't create generic content, they craft cinematic campaigns that generate the competitive bidding energy our clients depend on.

This is what happens when you combine rockstar individual talent with a boutique culture that prizes collaboration over ego, results over rhetoric, and long-term relationships over transactional wins. Meet the team that's redefining luxury real estate across Oakland, Piedmont, Rockridge, Crocker Highlands, and Montclair.
