AGENT AT COMPASS BERKELEY* YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

APPROXIMATE LIFETIME SALES VOLUME

After more than 30 years selling residential real estate in Contra Costa County, Bev Arnold brings exceptional market knowledge, financial insight, and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their real estate goals. For Bev, real estate is far more than a transaction—it’s about building trust, listening carefully, and forming lasting relationships that extend well beyond the close of escrow.

Bev’s professional path began after graduating from college, when she earned her CPA Certificate in both California and Oregon. She spent ten years working in accounting, gaining a strong foundation in financial analysis and strategic decision-making. While invaluable, that experience ultimately led her to seek a career with greater personal connection and client interaction. In 1993, she obtained her real estate license, followed by her Broker’s license in 1995—an evolution that proved to be the perfect fit.

Known for her discretion, market expertise, and unparalleled negotiation skills, Bev’s financial acumen is a powerful asset for both buyers and sellers navigating complex decisions. She places the highest priority on understanding her clients’ needs and goals, ensuring they feel informed, confident, and supported at every stage of the process. The relationships she builds with her clients are the most rewarding aspect of her career, and many have become long-term personal connections.

In 2023, Bev Arnold and Kelly Crawford joined Vanguard Properties in Lafayette, where she is proud to be a member of the Kelly Crawford Team. The team is known for setting the standard for exceptional service, delivering a seamless, concierge-style experience. Through collaboration, shared expertise, and unwavering support, the Kelly Crawford Team empowers its members to provide outstanding results for their clients.

Outside of real estate, Bev enjoys reading, gardening—growing dahlias is one of her many talents—and traveling. In 2025, she explored destinations including the Amazon jungle, Quito, Ecuador, the Galápagos Islands, Japan, and South Korea. Looking ahead, sailing in the Ionian Islands off the coast of Greece is on her travel agenda for 2026.

These shape our commitment to excellence. In today’s fast-paced world, we’re proud to offer a product that invites you to slow down, relax, and truly engage. Our magazine lets you touch the pages, mark favorites, and immerse yourself in luxury real estate. We believe in the power of quality marketing and the impact of high-quality print. Instead of cutting back, we’re growing—expanding our reach through digital platforms, email, social media, venue distribution, special sections, editorials, and profiles.

Thank you for being part of the Luxury Home Magazine family. We’re excited for the journey ahead!
