Vanessa Bergmark is the owner of Red Oak Realty and an East Coast native who has called the East Bay home for over two decades. We talk about her journey to where she is now by trusting the people around her and trusting the intuitive voice within her. We talk about her intense interest in conflict resolution and how her studies in Crime, Law and Justice have been applied to her business world. We talk about Art White who passed away 3 years ago just after Thanksgiving and the vital role Art played in Vanessa's life. We also discuss this difficult year and its impact on real estate market dynamics, and the permission people should give themselves to recharge and make downtime part of a healthy routine.
