Get Exactly What You Want
in a Tough Market
We knew the home we were seeking was there in Berkeley waiting for us. But being architects, it was important for both of us to find a home that had strong design, craftsmanship qualities, interesting spaces and light shining through as many windows as possible. Lela Franklin not only found us our dream home, but she also wrestled it out from the clutches of several other buyers for us. Naturally when the time came to buy our second home we called Lela. Of course our second home has more space, a bay view and even better light shining through the windows.

Not only has Lela been our trusted Realtor through two stressful home searches, but also over our 20 year relationship we count her among one of our close family friends. Lela and Arista Realty are always our personal recommendation to any of our friends looking for a Realtor who always puts the needs of her clients first and understands the ever-sifting trends of East Bay home market!

Arista Realty Makes Selling
Your Home Hassle Free!
I lived in my house for 49 years. The thought of moving was daunting. Lela & Peter suggested that I move into my new home and take only the essential items that I needed and leave the rest to their care. They hired painters, cleaners, haulers... and before I knew it I had three offers. If you want someone who will not only get the best price for your home but also help to make everything run smoothly during what can be a very stressful situation, then you needn't search further!

Arista Realty Understands
What You Want!
We always wanted to buy a house, but didn't think we could afford one. It wasn't until we met the owners of Arista Realty, Lela and Peter Franklin, that we began to realize the dream of owning our own home. Our first meeting was very educational. We knew nothing about real estate. So, Peter & Lela took the time to explain the entire process in easy terms until we were satisfied that we truly understood it all. After making a thorough review of our finances, they found a way to get us a loan. Shortly thereafter, we were moving into our new home. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who is either buying or selling. You'll get compassionate, caring and dedicated professionals working for you.

How Using Arista Realty
Benefits You!
Before buying our home, we read books on how to pick a good realtor and what services you should expect. Peter & Lela Franklin by far surpassed our expectations. If you want someone to help you with buying and selling your home, who is knowledgeable, professional, market savvy and caring, I would recommend Arista Realty.
