The Mostly Real Estate Podcast, with Declan Spring

Real estate market updates, and conversations of substance with people I admire, mostly in the field of residential real estate in the San Francisco East Bay Area. This show is both industry facing, and consumer facing, which makes it somewhat unique.

Listeners can access content about the state of the East Bay real estate market. The podcast also features local top-producing agents, brokers, rising stars, or agents who have simply niched down and can share their strategies.

Outside of real estate there are many conversations with local business owners, historians, politicians, and non-profits, people whom I believe provide value to the local community and enrich my experience of living here.

I've been a California licensed real estate agent since 2003 selling real estate mostly in the Inner East Bay cities and districts of Berkeley, Oakland, Richmond, Albany, El Cerrito, and Kensington.

Felicia Mares-Villa

I’m Felicia Mares-Villa, your dedicated East Bay real estate agent helping everyone from first-time buyers to experienced homeowners achieve their real estate goals. My passion began with my mom’s solo journey to homeownership—facing bad advice and unfair treatment. Her resilience inspired me to enter real estate and ensure others have the guidance she lacked. With a Psychology degree from UC Davis, I offer a thoughtful approach rooted in empathy, clear communication, and market expertise. Named a Realtor Magazine 30 Under 30 honoree and California Association of Realtors Rising Star, I’m proud to be recognized for innovation and service. My partner Hazel Emlen and I founded Arlowe Homes to break the mold—building a brokerage focused on care, collaboration, and client confidence. At Arlowe, we treat you like family every step of the way.
