According to Marvin Gardens, El Cerrito was once dubbed "the city of homes". Because of this, there is always plenty of work for this local real estate agency located on scenic Fairmount Street. El Cerrito is one of the many neighborhoods Marvin Gardens covers. They have a variety of houses available in "the flats" and "the hills", from fancy mansions to stately row houses.
This branch of the company, which also has offices located in Kensington, Berkeley and Point Richmond, was first opened to the public in 1989. The office itself is clean, friendly and small with helpful staff available during office hours to assist anyone who walks in or makes an appointment, from first-time to seasoned home buyers and sellers. The average amount of experience among the agents here is ten years. The company values personal attention over corporation-style selling.
