El Cerrito
Real Estate Photography
El Cerrito sits between Berkeley and Richmond in the hills, with BART access that makes it popular for commuters and hillside streets that offer real bay views. Homes range from flatland bungalows to view properties higher up, and I shoot each differently — the view is often the whole story on a hillside listing.

When a home has a bay view, that view needs to be the star of at least a few photos — I make sure to shoot from the angles that actually capture it, not just a wide room shot that happens to include a window. For flatland homes, I focus more on walkability and character.
Easy BART access and a genuine small-town feel around El Cerrito Plaza both matter here, and I try to reflect whichever one is more relevant to a specific property — a quick commute for one buyer, a quiet hillside retreat for another.
El Cerrito listings with real views or strong BART proximity tend to draw serious interest quickly, and photos need to make that value clear at a glance. I prioritize whatever a property's strongest selling point actually is.
