About Rossmoor
At Rossmoor, there are two primary forms of ownership – the cooperative and the condominium. In addition, there are 63 single-family detached homes. Each of these forms of ownership allows the owner to will or sell the property. See below for more information:
Cooperative (co-ops)
In the cooperative, the purchaser buys a share in a corporation which, in turn, owns the building, land and any common areas. Ownership is represented by a stock certificate. Co-ops can only be financed through certain authorized lenders. The homeowners’ dues in co-ops may differ from those of condos because they include property taxes, a replacement reserve for water heaters, air conditioning and heating units, and some interior maintenance of appliances.
With cooperative ownership, you enjoy all the facilities, activities, benefits and privileges open to residents of Rossmoor.
Condominiums
In the condominium form of ownership, the purchaser owns the interior space that comprises his unit. Condos can be financed through the lender of your choice. The purchaser receives a grant deed to the condominium home. Payment of real estate taxes is the responsibility of the owner.
With condominium ownership, you enjoy all the facilities, activities, benefits and privileges open to residents of Rossmoor.
Congregate Living
Congregate living offers independent living in separate units, with the benefit of additional services and being able to share some activities of daily life with other residents. These are considered condos.
"The Waterford" is a 300-unit congregate living condominium development situated on 16 acres in Rossmoor. On the premises are a grand living room with bar and piano, gracious dining rooms, a friendly cafe, libraries, craft studios, club and entertainment rooms, a beauty salon and barber shop, an exercise room and guest rooms. Services for residents include 24-hour reception, fine dining daily with optional meals available, weekly housekeeping, and organized social activities.

Our recent sales transaction with your company went very well. Our agent at the Rossmoor office in Walnut Creek, CA, Jackie Giffin is fantastic! She is warm and personable, and very knowledgeable about market conditions in our area. She handled each aspect of our sale seamlessly, making sure we had all the documents done in a timely manner. She also helped us with how to present our home and recommended a wonderful staging company that enabled our condo to sell fast. We highly recomment Jackie and Berkshire Hathaway.

Jackie Giffin could not have been more helpful in selling my Rossmoor property. Her knowledge of the community and the peculiarities of the process there were invaluable. She offered thoughtful guidance every step of the way. Plus since I was 500 miles away throughout her handling of local specialists to prepare the property for listing and take the transaction through close were critical. I can't recommend Jackie highly enough.

As a realtor and a friend Jackie Giffin is a dream come true! She not only sold my former coop but was my realtor in the purchase of this new townhouse. Jackie has a strong pulse on the real estate market of Contra Costa and the East Bay. Also she had an innate sense of how to evaluate and gauge my needs in the volatile Pandemic. Jackie communicated all parts of the transaction in a timely manner and explained each of my questions clearly in order to have a seamless transaction. Her professionalism is above reproach and Jackie’s track record speaks for itself. I trusted her judgement implicitly and am thrilled with the results. I have no hesitation referring Jackie to family and friends.

Let me start by saying that buying a house in Rossmoor, especially in this competitive market, could have been a total nightmare. But thanks to Jackie Giffin, the entire experience was smooth sailing! From the very first meeting, Jackie impressed me with her deep knowledge of the Rossmoor community. She listened patiently to my needs and wants, and quickly grasped exactly what I was looking for in a home. She never pressured me to settle, and instead tirelessly showed me a variety of properties until we found the perfect fit. Jackie's expertise goes way beyond just finding a house. She was there for me every step of the way, from navigating complex paperwork to recommending top-notch inspectors and lenders. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. Her calm demeanor and positive attitude kept me sane throughout the process. Simply put, Jackie is a fantastic real estate agent. She's professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. But most importantly, she genuinely cares about her clients. I can't thank her enough for helping me find my dream home in Rossmoor.

Jackie Giffin pursued marketing opportunities in a difficult down market. She followed up on all leads. Diligence and perseverance were her attributes in getting an offer and managing it through the hurdles of negotiation , buyer’s lender requirements, HOA procedures and title company needs. She was on top of the transaction from start to finish. She assisted the seller by disposing of or shipping out some items left behind . Jackie has the experience and business savvy to make the deal happen. Ron Mucovich

Client comment: Jackie was a lifeline for us in a time of need. She had been answering my many questions about the housing/rental market in Rossmoor for over a year and keeping me abreast of current sales through open house notices. When it came time to ready my parents home for sale Jackie provided essential guidance and resources available to us to get the home ready for market. She was extremely professional and efficient from start to closing, we could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Her suggestions proved to be the formula for success we were looking for and I have recommended her to my parents neighbors and friends when they have the need to sell their properties.

Jackie has been our friend and realtor for more than 11 years, in Rossmoor. Right from the start she has been extremely personable and knowledgable. Through four real estate transactions in these years, she has guided us to success. We have upgraded our home from a small one-bedroom co-op manor, to a beautiful Kentfield co-op, and now to a wonderful, spacious condominium. She has worked diligently to help make this happen for us, and my wife and I are grateful for all of her outstanding efforts.
