About Sean
As a top-ranked Oakland, California listing agent, I specialize in helping homeowners maximize their sales price through strategic home design and property preparation. My proven approach focuses on making smart, impactful updates that significantly increase a home’s value before it hits the market.
With years of experience and a deep understanding of the Oakland real estate landscape, I know exactly which upgrades deliver the highest return on investment. I don’t just advise on what to do—I coordinate every step of the process, from design to recommending trusted contractors, project managers, managing timelines, staging, and marketing.
One of the key advantages of working with me is access to Compass Concierge, which provides upfront funds to cover the cost of home improvements. This means you can invest in renovations without any immediate out-of-pocket expenses, as the costs are simply repaid from the proceeds of your home sale.
I also offer a complimentary design plan and custom color palette for every client who lists with me, ensuring your home appeals to today’s buyers and stands out in the market. Whether it’s a classic Craftsman in Rockridge, a sleek mid-century modern in Montclair, or a luxury property in Piedmont, I’ll help you transform your space to achieve the highest possible price.
Thinking of selling your Oakland home? Let’s discuss how strategic updates, expert coordination, and data-driven marketing can help you achieve exceptional results.

Sean's Reviews

The BIGGEST reason we are sitting here- in a beautiful, sunny living room, in our FIRST house- typing this review; is because of Sean Walsh with Compass Realty. We had the incredible fortune of working with this exceptional realtor, who was so dedicated in getting us into our forever home. His exceptional work ethic and tireless efforts were apparent throughout the entire process. He expertly navigated negotiations and advocated for our best interests every step of the way. As this was our first home-buying experience, Sean was incredibly patient and understanding- often repeating things without comment or angst. He took time to explain every detail and was available whenever we needed him.
Every. Little. Thing, that could go wrong; went wrong buying this house. Sean was the conductor of sanity and progress. He made the processes so much easier, and they would have been impossible without his professionalism and aptitude. What truly set Sean apart was his unwavering determination to secure the best deal for us.
We would be emphatically quick and proud to refer Sean Walsh to anyone looking to buy in the Oakland Bay Area.
***What do Real Estate Agents have to be thankful for? Lots. And we are thankful for Sean.

Sean Walsh is an extremely sharp and knowledgeable realtor. My family was looking to buy a property in the East Bay in the spring of 2023. As the CalHFA downpayment program was coming available, Sean was able to hook us up with a qualified lender so that we could be ready to go. When the program ended quickly before we could take advantage of it, he continued to help us refine our goals and needs, give us advice about neighborhoods and the state of the market, and we ultimately decided to buy land instead to build our dream home. Sean was very helpful and gave us great advice every step of the way. His assessment of the market was consistently on point, and he was very responsive and attentive to our needs, even as we moved to a smaller dollar vacant land transaction. I would definitely recommend him and will be calling him up again the next time I need a realtor in the Bay Area.
