Data-Driven Home Buying & Selling for Oakland, Berkeley & San Francisco

You deserve a real estate expert who listens first, uses data intelligently, and empowers you to make confident decisions.

That's exactly what I do.

I'm Fontaine Schaber, a Bay Area native and real estate expert with 15+ years of tech, sales, and client success experience. This background doesn’t just mean I know San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and East Bay neighborhoods, it also means I understand how to interpret market data in ways most agents don't. It’s the foundation of how I work differently.

The Result?
You make smarter, faster decisions with confidence. You understand the real opportunities and the real risks. And you never feel like you're missing something or making a costly mistake because you have the data-driven insight to back up your choice.

What's Changed about Real Estate and Why My Background Matters to You:

You are navigating one of the most competitive, data-rich real estate markets in the world. Whether you're trying to understand true market value in your neighborhood, worried about missing the right opportunity, or exhausted by traditional agent experiences with limited transparency and short-term thinking, you deserve a different approach.

Access to real estate data is now public. What separates successful Bay Area homebuyers and sellers isn't information access, it's how that information gets interpreted and leveraged into competitive advantage.

The old playbook no longer works. You need a real estate partner who understands the data, reads the market ahead of trends, and translates that intelligence into tangible results for your specific situation.

How I Help First Time Homebuyers, Tech & Working Professionals, Empty Nesters, and Investors Buy and Sell Real Estate:

As part of a top-producing San Francisco real estate team with collective deep expertise spanning law, business, and technology, my team and I combine rigorous local market analysis with a negotiation network most agents will never have access to. We don't just know Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and East Bay neighborhoods inside and out. we read the market data that most agents never leverage, and I use that insight to create real advantage for my clients.

My Approach: Data-driven strategy meets personalized service. I listen first, analyze deeply, and act decisively so you make confident decisions without guesswork.

• First-Time Homebuyers
  I decode the competitive market, identify undervalued opportunities, and guide you through the process and unknown "gotchas" so you can make confident decisions. You'll understand not just what to offer, but why.

• Tech & Working Professionals
  I understand your timeline and market priorities. I know exactly how to position your offer in Oakland, Berkeley, or San Francisco neighborhoods where tech talent concentrates—and how to win in a competitive situation.

• Empty Nesters
  I help you maximize your home's value, explore neighborhoods that fit your next chapter, and navigate Bay Area market dynamics with confidence as you transition to this new phase.

• Sellers
  Using advanced analytics and exclusive market insights, I identify optimal selling strategies specific to your location, backed by seasoned negotiation skills and a trusted professional network.

What Makes Us Different:

Beyond Real Estate

I'm a Le Cordon Bleu–trained chef, passionate community volunteer, and non-profit board member. These experiences have shaped who I am and how I approach every client relationship.

Whether I'm hiking with my dog, serving the community, or balancing work and motherhood, I'm driven by one core value: creating experiences that make real impact. That same philosophy guides my work in real estate. I'm not just closing transactions—I'm helping families and professionals achieve their next chapter in the Bay Area. That's why I bring the same thoughtfulness, refinement, and care to real estate that I bring to everything else in life.
