People. Places. Homes.
The stories that connect us.
Rooted in the East Bay. Connected to San Francisco. Exploring the people, neighborhoods, places, homes and everyday moments that make the greater Bay Area home.
The East Bay is where CallKarki starts — with San Francisco always part of the story.
A Bay Area story worth slowing down for.

This is the first entry in an ongoing series of example placements; your real reporting will take this spot once it’s written.

What is changing — and what does it actually mean?
Headlines about the Bay Area market rarely tell the local story. A countywide number can hide what’s really happening on a specific Richmond block, or in a specific San Francisco neighborhood. Before the numbers, we’ll explain the story — what’s driving it, and who it actually affects — then show a few figures worth knowing.
Data pending verification — figures below are not publishedHomes are part of the story, too.
Knowledge before decisions.
I work in real estate. But people are why I tell these stories.
“I’m Mohan Karki. Real estate is part of what I do, but people and communities are why CallKarki exists. Every home introduces me to another street, another family, another neighborhood and another story worth understanding. CallKarki is where I share those stories and useful information that can help all of us better understand the Bay Area we call home.”Meet Mohan
There’s always another story around the corner.
