Get To Know Lisa Tichenor

REALTOR® | Luxury Specialist | Design
CA DRE# 01478540

Lisa’s passion for real estate is deeply rooted in her family’s four-generation legacy of homebuilding and design. Her great-grandparents immigrated from Italy and began building homes in Southern California, setting the foundation for a lifelong appreciation of craftsmanship, architecture, and community. Her father, a builder, taught her early on that the scent of sawdust is the best kind of perfume — and it’s been part of her story ever since.

With over 20 years of experience representing East Bay buyers and sellers, Lisa has built an exceptional, referral-based business grounded in local expertise, thoughtful strategy, and genuine connection. Her extensive knowledge of the region’s micro-markets, combined with a passion for design and detail, allows her to deliver an elevated experience — one defined by trust, excellence, and results.
