Answer 2 :
I would interview/speak with a few Brokers, A few things to consider is how the office does business, their expectations, cost/charges to you (desk fees, marketing, etc...). Bottom line is The Brokers support and professionalism is what to look for and follow your gut. Run if the first thing asked to do are; cold calls, expired listings, FSBO's (For Sale By Owner) or door knocking. Don't just assume because it is nation wide broker that they're good. Interviewing is a two way street, as you will be an entrepreneur (stick with that mind set and you will be fine). If you want to Prudential has some of the best training, the only down fall is they are very corporate type structured, so if your are a good self starter and work well once your trained you could then switch to another broker and kick butt. In this Business always keep your integrity intact as that’s everything. Good Luck even thou it is not really part of it :)

About live in Berkeley, work in San Francisco

Live in Berkeley, work in San Francisco?
I am moving to the Bay Area to work next summer. I am fresh out of college and from Illinois. I was wondering if it would be more economical to live somewhere else, such as Berkeley. I will be working right in the Embarcadero Center so I could easily take the BART. Anyone have any insight as to how it is to live in Berkeley? Or other ideas? I would love to save as much money as possible and enjoy a personal life. San Francisco - 8 Answers

Answer 1 :
It would definitely be more cost-effective to live in Berkeley or other city along the BART line. You might even consider going further inland to Walnut Creek or Pleasanton, although the auto traffic along that corridor can be hellish.
Answer 2 :
i used to live in chi... its badass out here and the weed is good too!!!
Answer 3 :
I live all the way out at the end of one of the BART lines and can say it's definitely the way to go, rather than fighting an hour and a half of traffic each direction. Unfortunately, the areas between SF and Walnut Creek (and in Marin and on the peninsula) are pretty expensive to live in. Many people are buying out beyond the end of the lines and driving to BART to afford it. If you're single and can afford to live in Berkeley it's a great way to go. But if you need a home and good schools you'll have to look further out. Good luck!
Answer 4 :
You might want to try the Rockridge area of Oakland rather than Berkeley. It has alot going on without the crazys of Berkeley.
Answer 5 :
Berkeley isnt cheap either. You are very lucky to have your job since there are so few jobs exactly right in SF. Check out www.baysidevillage.com and you can walk to work. Bart fares are expensive. Plus the Berkeley Bart station is near UC campus and you probably have had enough campus life.
Answer 6 :
As previously noted, Berkeley is not inexpensive either. You have to weigh in the pros & cons of cheaper vs. commute. I would recommend living in SF if possible.
Answer 7 :
Yes you can live elsewhere to save money if that's what you want to do. But the city can be a very fun place to live, especially right out of college if your job pays well enough. Live like a 40-year old when you are 40. For now, have a fun singles lifestyles in The City.
Answer 8 :
Berkeley is a lovely town, and as you already know, it's an easy commute to San Francisco via BART. There's a BART station right near Telegraph Avenue, which is one of the best parts of town. That said, Berkeley is very expensive in its own right, as previous respondents have indicated. My strategy would be this: Look for an apartment/house based on price FIRST, then location second. San Francisco is the second most expensive housing market in the U.S. (right behind New York City), but comparable bargains can still be found. Try looking in the Richmond District of San Francisco; it's considered a remote quadrant by native SF-ers, but it's a positively gorgeous location (adjacent to Baker Beach and Land's End), and the rents are much cheaper than other parts of the city. If you don't find the price you're looking for in San Francisco, expand your search along transit lines, but don't limit yourself to BART -- the Caltrain runs south out of San Francisco, and it a very pleasant way to commute. It's a double-decker train, and I've taken it many times and found it to be one of the most hassle-free train experiences in the country. If you look at "CalTrain" towns like Burlingame, San Mateo and the like, you'll eventually find a place that meets your requirements. All it takes is determination, a bit of luck, and perserverance. Good luck, and enjoy San Francisco!! Kango Traveler

Answer 1 :
With BART, you can get almost anywhere in San Francisco quickly. For this reason, you could live in Alameda (access to San Francisco through Fruitvale stop) Oakland (though some parts are rougher than others), Berkeley (though many parts are expensive), San Leandro, El Cerrito, Hayward, or Castro Valley (Richmond, Fremont, Orinda, Dublin/Pleasanton, Concord, Walnut Creek, and Pleasanton are all on BART routes but they may take slightly longer than half an hour to get into the city) in the East Bay, and Daly City, San Bruno, or Milbrae in the Peninsula (although service to the latter two stops after 7pm). Some cities, like Alameda in the East Bay, Vallejo in the North Bay, and Larkspur in Marin, also have ferry commute services, although sometimes ferries take longer than BART does.
Answer 2 :
It depends on how much you want to spend to rent. and what times you work. 30 minutes in traffic getting to the city is not that far out of san francisco. Bay area traffic during rush hour times 6-9am 3-7 pm is like LA traffic. Especially if you crossing one of the 8 bridges. I would recommend San Mateo, Daly City which is around 30 minutes south of the city or in a nicer area Belmont or Palo Alto (Not East Palo Alto) that is around 45 minutes to an hour. If your looking on the east bay where its a little cheaper to live but you get what you pay for, a 30 minute commute would be Oakland or Berkley. Your going to spend 30 minutes alone just crossing the bay bridge to get into the city. If your looking North then Marin, or Sausalito is 30-45 minutes. You spend most of the time on the bridge again (the golden gate) and getting into the city through the outside streets. And remember there are no freeways in San Francisco. All the freeways in the bay area end in San Francisco or run around the city. Its exactly like New York City so its gridlocked on the roads during rush hour and weekends.
