With over 30 years of dedicated service in East Bay real estate, Sheila Sabine brings a unique combination of artistic vision and business acumen to every transaction. As a Colorado native who moved to Montclair in the mid-80s, Sheila has deep roots in the Oakland Hills community, where she designed and built two Japanese-style homes that were featured in major architectural publications including Sunset Magazine Japan.

Sheila's multilingual abilities in French and Spanish, combined with her Master's degrees in Art and Media Technology from Antioch and French language studies, enable her to connect with diverse clients throughout the East Bay. Her background as an educator in French, Spanish, and creative arts translates into clear communication and patient guidance throughout the home buying and selling process.

What sets Sheila apart is her comprehensive approach to real estate that draws from her extensive training in staging, interior design, and floral arrangements. This artistic perspective helps clients see the potential in every property, while her debate team training and negotiation skills ensure optimal outcomes. Her experience managing income property in Colorado adds valuable investment insight for clients considering rental properties or multi-unit buildings.

Sheila's warm, conversational style has earned praise from clients who describe her as "passionate, caring, and generous." One recent client noted: "Sheila steered us through this hair-raising rollercoaster ride with ease, grace and a sense of humor. You were the perfect sherpa to lead us to a great sale - way over asking price."

Active in the Berkeley community through Rotary, the Claremont Social Club, and Hillside Gardeners, Sheila maintains strong local connections. She volunteers her floral design skills for numerous organizations and serves on the diplomatic greeting committee for distinguished visitors from Nepal, Tibet, and India.

Beyond real estate, Sheila is a multi-dimensional artist with nearly 200 videos on her YouTube channel "Life Outside Your Front Door." She participates in international sketch groups, leads meditation sessions, and is an active member of Bay Area museums including the de Young, Legion of Honor, and SFMOMA.
