About Our Livermore Office
Rooted in Livermore for Over 38 Years
The Preferred Brokers office at 411 So L St, Suite E is more than a business address — it is the home base of one of the Tri-Valley's most experienced and trusted real estate professionals. Wanda Thompson has operated from this central Livermore location for decades, building a reputation for integrity, expertise, and genuine care for her clients that has made her a cornerstone of the Livermore real estate community.
Livermore is a city that rewards those who understand it deeply. Its real estate market is shaped by forces that are unique in the Bay Area — the intellectual and economic influence of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, the cultural and lifestyle pull of the South Livermore wine country corridor (home to Wente Vineyards, California's oldest continuously operating family winery, founded in 1883; Murrieta's Well; Concannon Vineyard; and over 50 other wineries), and the city's transformation from a small agricultural community into a thriving, diverse city of nearly 90,000 residents.
From the Preferred Brokers office, Wanda Thompson is within minutes of every key Livermore neighborhood — from the entry-level homes of Springtown and the family neighborhoods of Portola Glen and Jensen Tract, to the executive estates of Ruby Hill and the wine country properties of South Livermore. She is equally close to Downtown Livermore's First Street corridor, with its award-winning Bankhead Theater, wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and the ACE Train station that connects Livermore to San Jose in under 45 minutes.
Wanda's central location also reflects her commitment to serving the entire Tri-Valley — not just Livermore. From 411 So L St, she can reach Dublin in 12 minutes, Pleasanton in 10 minutes, and San Ramon in 20 minutes via I-580 and I-680. This geographic centrality makes Preferred Brokers the ideal partner for buyers and sellers throughout the region, whether they are looking for a BART-accessible townhome in Dublin, a top-school-district home in Pleasanton, or a Bishop Ranch executive property in San Ramon.
Livermore Landmarks
The Livermore Community Wanda Calls Home
Understanding Livermore's landmarks, institutions, and community character is essential to understanding its real estate market. Wanda Thompson's 38+ years in this community gives her an unmatched perspective on what makes each neighborhood special — and what drives home values throughout the city.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
One of the nation's premier research institutions, LLNL employs over 8,000 scientists, engineers, and support staff — making it the single largest driver of Livermore's high-income demographic and housing demand. Homes near LLNL's eastern Livermore location are particularly popular with researchers seeking short commutes.
Wente Vineyards (est. 1883)
California's oldest continuously operating family winery, Wente Vineyards is a defining institution of South Livermore's wine country character. The winery's restaurant, concert series, and golf course make it a regional destination — and its presence anchors the premium real estate market along the Tesla Road and Arroyo Road corridors.
Bankhead Theater
Livermore's premier performing arts venue, the Bankhead Theater anchors the revitalized Downtown First Street corridor and hosts world-class performances year-round. Its presence has been a catalyst for downtown Livermore's transformation into a vibrant dining, arts, and entertainment destination.
Del Valle Regional Park
A 4,000-acre regional park centered on Del Valle Reservoir, Del Valle offers boating, swimming, fishing, camping, and over 20 miles of hiking and equestrian trails. Homes near Del Valle — particularly in South Livermore — command premium prices for their proximity to this exceptional outdoor recreation resource.
ACE Train Station
The Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) Train connects Livermore to Stockton, with stops in Pleasanton, Fremont, and San Jose. For Livermore residents commuting to Silicon Valley, the ACE Train is a game-changer — providing a stress-free alternative to I-580 and I-680 traffic. Homes within walking distance of the Livermore ACE station command a walkability premium.
Livermore Premium Outlets
Located at the western edge of Livermore near I-580, the Livermore Premium Outlets is a major regional retail destination with over 130 stores. Its presence contributes to Livermore's strong retail tax base and adds significant convenience for residents throughout the Tri-Valley.
Sycamore Grove Park & Brushy Peak
Sycamore Grove Park, with its ancient valley oaks and creek-side trails, is one of Livermore's most beloved natural spaces. Brushy Peak Regional Preserve offers panoramic views of the Tri-Valley and the Central Valley beyond — a reminder of the natural beauty that surrounds this remarkable community.
Ruby Hill Golf Club & Community
Ruby Hill is Livermore's premier gated community — a private enclave in South Livermore with a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, vineyard views, and custom homes ranging from $1.8M to $4M+. It represents the pinnacle of Livermore luxury living and is one of the most sought-after addresses in the entire East Bay.
