Working with Bernie was the best decision ever. You will be in good hands. It is great that Bernie is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, existing inventory, and for me, the buying process, but working with Bernie is also a collaborative experience, where she really listens, understands what someone is looking for. You can just tell she really wants what is best for you, it really made this a special experience. I will be so happy to work with Bernie again.
We couldn't be happier with Bernie and feel so fortunate that we made the decision to have her handle the sale of our home. In a changing rate environment that was dramatically shrinking the buyer pool for our house, she was not only able to find, qualify, and engage a premium buyer for our home, but she diligently managed what was a very creative, non-traditional deal structure that would have completely overwhelmed the vast majority of agents. So many other agents just want to make the deal easy for themselves, which most often comes at the expense of their client's bottom line - not Bernie. She remained a fierce advocate for us and we have no doubt she delivered us a bottom-line result that no other agent could. We cannot recommend her enough.
Bernie is professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She is very familiar with the market and has a lot of knowledge in buying/selling condos. Before we put the condo on the market, we talked about process, timing, and strategies. She ran the preliminary numbers to show me how much I could expect to receive after expenses, which was very helpful as I hate to deal with hidden costs. Her suggested selling price was better than I expected and after only one open house we got two cash offers and both were above listing price. The entire process went very smoothly. Highly recommended.
