About Soren

Born and raised in Berkeley, Soren grew up attending open houses with his mother, Berkeley Hills agent Romney O’Connell, absorbing knowledge of Bay Area real estate from an early age. He joined Berkeley Hills Realty in 2021 and is proud to carry on the family legacy in the field.

Recently, Soren was honored to represent the sellers of Berkeley Historic Landmark home 7 Greenwood Common, securing them a $2.9 million purchase price for their pedigree mid-century modernist home.

Whether he’s updating a classically charming 1930s home with modern conveniences—fetching his clients a 542% return on their initial investment in the process—or coordinating significant remodeling to transform a two-bedroom condo into a three-bed, two-bath home to attract a young family, Soren loves working with sellers to bring new life to their properties. He also maintains strong partnerships with excellent, affordable local contractors.

When he's not working on real estate, Soren’s home is the ballpark. As the General Manager of the San Rafael Pacifics, an independent baseball team in Marin, CA, he spends his summers balancing open houses with welcoming fans to Albert Park. If you introduce yourself, he might even throw in a free bag of crackerjack.

Soren’s passion for analytics, honed through his sports background, gives him a unique perspective on East Bay real estate trends. He has collated local data to create visualizations that demonstrate the average sale price of Berkeley homes by month, helping buyers understand the best times to purchase.
