Homegrown Success

Antonia Quanstrom Keller-Williams Real Estate, Walnut Creek, CA

“I help clients make smart investments for their future, so when they decide to sell in 10 years, they maximize their profits.”

— Antonia Quanstrom

She says, “my Buyers often tell me, ‘you spend just as much time pointing out the negatives as you do the positives, so when you say something good about a home I trust you.’”

Yet, her counsel doesn’t stop upon closing the sale.

Years later, clients still call Antonia for remodel input, knowing her long-term vision pays out when it’s time to sell.

Her knack for the industry is evident, but it’s the people that make her career so rewarding. Year after year, she says she is blown-away by how wonderful her clients are.

Full-Circle... (L) Antonia with her father in front of the home he built, and she grew up in.

(R) Antonia raising her children, Jeff & Becca, in the same home.

For top producer, Antonia Quanstrom, real estate runs in her blood. Growing up in the home her father built, and with a mom who was a Walnut Creek Realtor, Antonia acquired a natural attraction for the industry.

Having raised her kids in the same Walnut Creek home she grew up in, Antonia not only harbors expert market knowledge, but also an honest, neighborly reputation the community trusts.

Serving the Walnut Creek and surrounding areas for the past 13 years, Antonia ranks in the top 1/2% of Contra Costa realtors. Her lengthy sales background, diligent work ethic and attention to detail also explain why she’s the #1 Walnut Creek listing agent when it comes to getting sellers the highest dollar per square foot.

Her innate interest in landscaping and homebuilding rounds out her business- savvy skill set, knowing what specifics make the most impact.

As a UC Davis Economics graduate, Antonia not only helps Buyers find the right home for their lifestyle, but also one that serves as a profitable long-term investment. Her consultative style encourages clients to start thinking about factors that will impact the sale of their home before they even buy it.

“I help my clients make smart investments for their future, so when they decide to sell in 10 years, they maximize their profits.”

“The little things make a big difference. Knowing how to get a second offer on a property, can mean tens of thousands of dollars for a Seller,” says Antonia. “It’s those fine-tuned details that put you in a different league.”

Antonia’s repeat and referral-based business reflects the value of her honest, down-to-earth approach. Advising clients as if it were her home, she provides a detailed scope of each property before buyers consider a purchase; and gives sellers the quality pre-marketing they deserve.

Her experience and trained eye are just some of the reasons Antonia consistently gets top dollar for her clients.

Whether considering street noise, floor plans or yard space, Antonia covers it all.

“I’ve become best friends with many of my clients,” she says with a smile. “In fact, I’m having a few clients over for dinner this weekend, because they’re neat people, and I want them to meet.”

Her passion for real estate has also worked its way into her personal life. Seeing housing as a valued gift, Antonia supports local organizations that provide shelter and aid for the homeless — a cause close to her heart and profession.

A proud mother of two, Antonia has enjoyed raising her kids in the same home she grew up in. Her eldest, Jeff, is a freshman at San Diego State University, studying business with an emphasis in Real Estate. Her daughter, Becca, currently attends Las Lomas High School.

When she’s not previewing properties and advising clients, Antonia enjoys all things outdoors. She spends much of her free time in her garden, hiking the Rim Trail, and running along the Reservoir and regional trails, whenever she can. _________________________________________________ Antonia Quanstrom AntoniaHomes.com o: 925.407.8967 c: 925.407.6299 _______________________________________

Situated in the heart of Lafayette, this hilltop estate offers a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience.

Perched on nearly 2 acres of oak- studded land, this contemporary home is surrounded by sweeping views of Mount Diablo, Las Trampas and the Lafayette Reservoir.

Designed and built in 1991 by award-winning architect, William Wood, the house features a series of skylights and picture-framed windows, sourcing an abundance of natural light and rejuvenating sights.

The home’s contemporary interior evokes an understated elegance with its formal limestone entryway, hardwood floors and European finishes. Its clean lines and inviting floor plan offer a transitional style, allowing residents to go modern, classic or traditional.

Interior highlights include formal living and dining room spaces with breath-taking views to match. The openspaced kitchen is simply a chef’s dream. With spanning

western-facing windows, residents can prepare dinner on granite countertops, while watching the sunset. The multi-purposed over-sized island also contains a “pop-up” hydraulic appliance garage ideal for hiding bulky items.

Designed with excellent separation of space, the kitchen descends into a casual family room with a wet bar, separate office and full bathroom.

A gallery-like hallway leads to two “Jack and Jill” bedrooms with a shared bathroom and walk-in closets. Each room hosts square wall windows and skylights that encourage a natural flow of light and cross- ventilation throughout the house.

The adjacent master retreat features a stream of windows, allowing panoramic vistas, and soaring hawks viewable from bed. The gas fireplace and complete master bath complement the rejuvenating space.

Yet, closet lovers will simply adore the suite’s running, library- style ladder built-in to the wide walk-in closet.
