Laura Arechiga

Laura’s family roots in east bay real estate reach back 50 years. As a mortgage broker, her father achieved enduring success through an old-fashioned mix of personal relationships, hard work, and integrity. When she launched her own practice in 2003, Laura thought it wise to use her father’s approach. This approach has helped her build a community of professional collaborators, from chimneysweeps to interior designers, and brought her a range of clients that includes first-timers, experienced homeowners, and pure investors drawn to the rich opportunities of this market. She’s handled a wide range of properties, from humble "fixers" to distinguished architect-designed homes.

Laura brings a keen eye and strong instincts to the business of real estate, while, to her working relationships, she brings honesty and warmth.

Laura was born in Berkeley and raised in the Oakland Hills. She was educated locally at both public and private schools, then on to receive a BFA at the University of New Mexico. As an east bay native, she has honed a subtle and intimate knowledge of its neighborhoods and architecture. She currently resides in Berkeley on Panoramic Hill, where she enjoys urban farming, hiking, and exploring the wonders of the East Bay with her family.
