#01822897Anna Bellomo founded District Homes in 2018, building on a successful career as businessperson and realtor. Her legal and business acumen augments her deep real estate expertise and unmatched local market knowledge.
As Founder of District Homes, Anna leads a team of dedicated, diverse, smart real estate professionals with decades of collective experience. She forged an innovative partnership with Bay Area–based Side to power District Homes’ back end. With this partnership in place, Anna provides her clients with all the power of a tech-driven brokerage combined with the white-glove service of a boutique agency.
A trusted companion for a competitive market, Anna knows the East Bay and its many neighborhoods inside and out, and she is consistently named in the top 1% of realtors in the region. She runs her company with a rare combination of know-how, enthusiasm, responsiveness and attention to detail that lead, time after time, to successful deals and delighted clients.
Anna grew up in Spain and graduated from law school in Barcelona. She built a successful career in European corporate affairs, international banking and cross-border projects before moving to California in 2005. Her varied professional and personal roles across cultures make Anna at home with people from all places, as does her fluency in English, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Catalan.
Anna lives in Berkeley with her husband, a Cal professor, and their two daughters, who attend Berkeley public schools.
Devoted to the local community, she has served on several community and professional boards, including Livable Berkeley, the Oakland/Berkeley Association of Realtors®, the California Association of Realtors® , the Commission on the Status of Women in the City of Berkeley and the Berkeley Public Schools Fund. She is currently a Trustee of the Board of the Berkeley Repertory Theater.
Anna’s commitment to her clients and her community never waivers. No matter the circumstances, she is all in, always.
Anna is a joy to work with - a good communicator, highly responsive and well connected both with other leading agents and the contractors and suppliers needed to prepare a house for sale in Berkeley. Considering how stressful selling a home of 20+ years can be, our #1 priority in selecting who to work with was how well are we going to be able to work well with this agent. We interviewed several top agent...

Anna is absolutely terrific. She truly takes the time to get to know her clients' objectives and provides intelligent and candid advice and opinions. For instance, she will tell you if she doesn't think a particular house is for you and give you the well thought out reasons. She is incredibly knowledgeable about East Bay neighborhoods and houses, she knows how other brokers operate, and she knows the mar...

Look no further!! Anna is an exceptional realtor. Selling a home can be a stressful process but Anna does all she can to make it easy. While other realtors post a listing on MLS and hold an open house or two, Anna is an active partner who shepherds you through the entire process. Not only does she work hard to present the house in the best light, but she also works tirelessly to find a qualified buyer. S...

We had a great experience selling our home in Berkeley with Anna as our agent. She is, as others mention, extremely knowledgeable, experienced and well-connected in the area. We moved out-of-state prior to putting the house on the market so it was a huge relief to have Anna on the ground, completely on top of the process and responsive. She helped us calmly navigate the paperwork, lined up great contract...

Anna was one of the best agents we have ever worked with. Anna helped us sell our Berkeley home in 2020 during the pandemic, navigating virtual walk-throughs, a fast-changing housing dynamic, and a super tight-turnaround. A couple of things really stand out about Anna: (1) impeccable knowledge of both the real estate and local markets (2) authentic desire to understand her client's goals and work tireles...

I would give Anna 7 stars if I could! She is that good. I recently decided to sell my house in Berkeley after living 3000 miles away for 11 years. I connected with Anna and she handled absolutely everything related to the sale, including painting, repairs, landscaping, and even communications with neighbors. She was always responsive, gave great advice throughout the process, set expectations extremely w...

Five stars is not enough to express how amazing, professional and thorough Anna was in handling the recent sale last week [March 2021) of our Berkeley home which we owned as a rental for CAL professors and students for the past 12+ years. In preparation for our sale, I scheduled painters, stagers and handymen who needed access to our home along with some detailed instructions which Anna handled so expert...

We recently sold our home in Berkeley through Anna Bellomo of District Homes, and I can't say enough about what a great experience it was. Anna took total charge of everything, and all we had to do was practice saying "Yes Ma'am. Yes Ma'am". She made decisions that I doubted at first, but, boy, does she know what she's doing. She lined up stagers for us to consider and fine-tuned their work. She hired th...

Like a fairy godmother, Anna made magic happen. Truly, we are so fortunate to have worked with her in selling our North Berkeley home. Anna knows the area like a pro, and has the connections and finesse to get things done - quickly! Her eye toward design helped us quickly decide how to present our house - what should go where to make it sing. We worked on a tight timeline to sell our house, involving an ...

We cannot say enough about the exceptional service we received from Anna Bellomo. Anna came into a delicate situation which she handled masterfully - calmly and professionally. Throughout the challenging process, she was always available for questions and we felt truly listened to. While not imposing, Anna helped us make the best decisions with reassuring expert guidance. Knowing that we had a firm advoc...

I shopped carefully for an agent, and Anna was clearly the best choice. Her knowledge, focus, business instincts, tough-minded negotiation skills, and authentic warmth made this entire process a pleasure. Her taste is impeccable; she oversaw a stellar staging of my large and complex home and garden, and timed the listing perfectly. We had offers immediately and it sold in a week for 70% over asking. Anna...

We feel very lucky to have worked with Anna. She was our agent when we sold our Berkeley house in August 2021, and it was an exceptional experience (which I have never, ever said about any real estate transaction, ever). Anna is warm, genuine, detail-oriented and an excellent communicator. As many of the reviews here say, five stars is not enough. She will spoil you for any other realtor.
— Janet O.
I did an exhaustive search for agent when we were selling our home. I built a shot list based on reviews, prior sales and speaking with other agents. When I interviewed agents on the short list, they asked me who else I was talking to. When I said Anna's name, several of the other agents said "If you can get Anna, she is the best you can get" - That is how good Anna's reputation is. And that advice serv...

Wow! We are so happy we found Anna to represent us in selling our family home of 70 years in the Berkeley Hills. On first meeting with Anna we were impressed with her warmth and professionalism. She was honest in her assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of our home and gave us clear options for the amount of work we could choose to do in preparing the house for sale. We had some delayed maintenanc...

The best! Anna and her team helped us sell our house, as we were making a big move with our family out of the country. She is a clear communicator and super well-organized, and made the whole process as easy and fun as possible. She knew just what to do to get our house ready for market, and the painting, staging, landscaping, and photos were first rate! She got us multiple offers over asking, and we fel...

Anna and her team helped us sell our Berkeley home in April 2021. Since we never sold a home before, we felt overwhelmed. Anna was amazing! Not only did she guide us through every step of the process, she also took care of all repairs and staging of the house while we were away. Everything was communicated clearly, which made us feel at ease. Her level of professionalism is outstanding! We could not have...
— Stefanie K.
Anna has helped me buy my first house (very stressful time) and sell my house when I was moving out of the area (also very stressful time!) Her and her team made my life so much easier. She knows the area and market in the east bay. Her personal connection with the people she works with (and her clients) shines through and really makes the process of buying and selling better. She has great taste and kno...

I have worked with Anna during the sale my home in North Berkeley and the purchase of a new (multi-unit) home in South Berkeley. Not only is Anna highly professional, but she is able to connect on an emotional level, developing an empathetic understanding for the needs of our family in the process of finding a home. Anna is honest, to the point, clever and creative. These qualities were essential in help...

Anna, is an amazing real estate professional and an incredible person with whom we were lucky enough to have had the privilege to work with. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a house in the Berkeley or surrounding communities. When we decided to move out of state we started looking online for an agent to sell our home and read how Anna had handled everything from the paint...

Anna is amazing. My fiancée and I moved to the Bay Area from New York and were looking to put down roots in Oakland. We had met Anna at an open house and she was so down to earth. Once we started to get serious with the house hunt we approached her about being our Realtor® and were immediately impressed with her knowledge of the neighborhoods, frankness about the process, and relationships with everyone ...
— Anna B.
Words cannot fully encompass my wife’s and my experience with, or our gratitude for, Anna as our selling agent. I have NEVER been involved with a real estate agent of her caliber before. There were a number of challenges with this sale; namely that we live 2 hours from the property and we were constrained by a tight budget. Anna went above and beyond any preconceived notion of what a selling agent can ...
— Mike M.
Anna’s reputation preceded her: online reviews exceeded top notch as were many others’ comments: knowledgeable, dependable, and hard worker. She is highly regarded by her peers in the realty business. The day we met, Anna stood out from the others because of her professionalism and her ability to transmit her humility, humanity and respect for cultural diversity with warmth.
— Anne S.
Quite frankly Anna and her team did everything, and I just had to step out of the way. The end result was a house that sold within a week with 10 offers over asking and a final sale nearly 2X the original asking price. She managed updates to the house and yard, took care of staging, handled inspections and was even prepared to find a proper home for my collection of National Geographics had I not passed...
