Caldecott Properties Comes to Moraga
370B Park Street, Moraga (Rheem Shopping Center)
(925)376-4000, www.Caldecott.com
Lamorinda native Andy Read, co-owner of Caldecott Properties which employs several Lamorinda residents, has moved in a few doors down from the New Rheem Theatre. The intent of establishing Caldecott Properties was to create a full-service brokerage specializing in sales, rentals and property management on both sides of the tunnel. With over 315 sales totaling more than $170 million dollars in Alameda County, Caldecott Properties was named one of the 25 largest residential real estate firms in the East Bay. A portion of the company's proceeds are donated to various non-profit groups, including the East Bay Humane Society, the Bay Area's only no-kill shelter.
