Picking Bernadette as our realtor to both buy and sell our home was a no-brainer. We have seen the awards and accolades she has received, heard about her professionalism, and were not at all surprised by her kind and genuine nature. Let me tell you a story about her sincerity in service, and integrity as a realtor.

Bernadette stuck with us through a home searching/moving process that lasted over a year. We started searching for a house to buy in Fall 2022, and finally found one in June 2023. In February, I had found a home that I fell in love with. It was newly renovated and turnkey ready. My husband wasn’t crazy about the home, but he didn’t dislike it either, which is better than most of the houses that we came by, so I took it as a win. Bernadette did a full comparison of the house within the neighbourhood and advised me against it, and demonstrated that it was overpriced.

You see, the way that we had presented the search to her was that this was going to be a transitional home for us, one that we would be living in for a few years before finally settling into our forever home. She said that if we went with this home, we would not get a proper return on investment when we decided to sell in a few years as it is overpriced right now, and the market was inflated. I still urged to buy the house and she pushed back with more evidence over and over on why it was not a good idea, especially if it did not check all of our boxes, or was not going to be our forever home, but in the end said that it was our decision.

I think the way that she’s so sincerely steered us to make a well informed, rational decision rather than seize an opportunity to cash in on a quicker paycheck, gained an immeasurable amount of respect from both of us; as she had no incentive to do so other than whatever was in the best interest for us, her clients. She, while pregnant, kept taking us to numerous house visits a week for months, until June when we found her new home. This home was listed for substantially less than what that other house was, but it checked so many of our boxes, and was a great price. And for the record, the “substantial difference” is no exaggeration, her commission would’ve been 5-figures higher had we purchased the first house. She immediately agreed with us that this was a wonderful home at an amazing price and encouraged us to make an offer. We have not had much experience in buying and selling homes, however, after hearing many stories from family and friends, we had come to the conclusion that finding a realtor with this level of integrity is rare. She was always truthful with us, and put our needs first.

Bernadette, we know that you will read this caption and blush at the nice things said about you and be wildly bashful about this out in the open, but we are so grateful for everything you have done for us in our home search/buying/selling/moving journey. Thank you.
