Lisa Mary Hedrick
Real Estate Agent (Broker)
Berkeley - CA

Since embarking on his real estate journey in San Francisco in 1999, Lisa has cultivated a diverse portfolio, successfully acquiring, renovating, and selling both residential and commercial properties throughout the Bay Area. He earned his broker's license in 2006 and spent a decade as an independent Broker/Owner, specializing in distressed property sales and investment opportunities.

His natural aptitude for negotiation, combined with a genuine passion for client relationships, fuels his dedication to the real estate field. A childhood spent exploring homes with his mother instilled in him a deep appreciation for architectural design and the unique stories each property holds. He believes in the importance of aligning buyers with homes that not only meet their specifications but also resonate with their personal style and location preferences.

During the recession, Lisa identified a niche in distressed sales, providing valuations for banks. Over the past twelve years, he has completed more than 135,000 valuations for corporate clients. His extensive experience navigating the foreclosure crisis in San Francisco has equipped him with a robust understanding of real estate law, rent control, and commercial property management. His work with bank-owned properties also allowed him to connect with individuals affected by the crisis, leading him to advocate for addiction treatment programs in collaboration with former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Integrity, loyalty, organization, dedication, and discipline are hallmarks of Lisa's professional ethos. He is committed to achieving favorable outcomes for his clients, leveraging his extensive investment background to excel in creative negotiations.

His philosophy centers on guiding clients toward sound financial decisions that will benefit them for years to come. He adeptly navigates the complexities of purchasing in a competitive market, particularly for properties requiring repairs or those that generate income—areas where his expertise extends beyond traditional residential sales.

With a keen eye for potential, Lisa often envisions possibilities that others may overlook. This perspective not only aids buyers in recognizing a property's value but also assists sellers in presenting their homes in a compelling manner. His background in valuations enhances his pricing strategies, as he possesses an intimate understanding of the region's dynamic micro-markets.

A Berkeley resident since 2000, Lisa thrives in the collaborative environment at Berkeley Hills Realty, where he shares knowledge and learns from his colleagues. Outside of real estate, he enjoys the outdoor lifestyle that Berkeley offers, engaging in running, jogging, and hiking, while also immersing himself in the local art, music, and poetry scenes. He believes in maintaining a balanced life focused on personal growth, wellness, and natural medicine.
