We had the best experience working with James Gresham and Tom Pessemier when buying our home. I am continually overwhelmed by the kindness and willingness to help. We received the textbook definition of above and beyond guidance and still are receiving the best help with our home.

This team has been great at making sure we were getting everything we needed while buying a home from out of state. James is one of those realtors that really cares about putting you and your family into your HOME. He’s one of those people that you’ll use once and then use for the rest of your life. Less

We could not have asked for a better realtor than Catherine Curran when selling our house!

Catherine helped me find my home that actually ended up being even better than I was hoping for while hitting all the criteria that I needed to find. My move was a challenge due to the seller's unforeseen issues and delays with the building of their new home. But Catherine helped work around all the issues we had to deal with in a calm manner that helped to diffuse my stress level. She started out as my realtor but ended up as a dear friend.

Bernice Sim and the entire Happy New Beginnings Team are caring and good people who work extremely hard for their clients, but who also know how to have fun in the real estate business.

We met Bernice through the Filipino community and have known her for many years. She has helped many friends and has been involved in volunteering and sponsoring community events. When we decided to choose this awesome 55 plus neighborhood in a golf community in New Kent, we wanted to have representation. Most people go into new construction thinking they don't need anyone, but you don't know what you don't know. From the get-go, due to her experience, she knew what questions to ask. She knows the rights we have. She will advocate for you to get just that little bit more. Even though site agents are friendly and knowledgeable, they represent the builder so it's important to have someone on your side. From asking the right questions to picking options that give us the most bang for our buck, it's good to have someone who knows the going rate of adding another window, or getting a screened in porch versus just a deck, stair railing choices, choice of colors - especially with floors, kitchen countertops, and kitchen cabinets. It's important not just to pick what you like but also what goes together and what will be valued upon eventual resale. A good agent can give you insight into all the choices involved, especially when it comes to choosing the lot. In new construction, it's all about the numerous choices throughout and Bernice will stay involved to help with all of it. Bernice was there for our building meetings - design meeting, pre-drywall meeting, final inspection, walkthrough and our loan closing. We love Bernice how she is so hands on and involved with her clients. We're also glad we used one of the home inspectors she recommended. Most people think that since it's all new, it's not that important. But a third party home inspectors will point out roof and crawlspace flaws and so much more. In our case, ours found something that was not even visible and would have been easily overlooked! He discovered that there was a vent that had been inadvertently drywalled over!! It was definitely worth the extra peace of mind and the discovery of a few more punch list items for our builder to take care of before closing. If you want an experienced agent who truly cares and will go the distance, choose Bernice and the Happy New Beginnings team for your next transaction. Less

I have worked with Catherine Curran as a first-time homebuyer, and to sell that same house five years later. She is the most wonderful real estate agent I could have ever asked to work with. Buying or selling a house is stressful, especially if you're new to the process, but Catherine is always one step ahead of the game and is working behind the scenes at all times to make a purchase or sale go smoothly. If ever I was worried about an inspection report or an appraisal or a response from a buyer or seller, I could rest assured that I would hear from Catherine immediately with any updates, and that she would already have a plan for next steps. Catherine also makes sure that decisions throughout a purchase or sale are led by her client's interests. I always sought her well-informed professional opinion and felt comfortable with all of the decisions we made throughout the process. I have 100% trust and faith in Catherine, and would recommend her in a heartbeat. She is reliable, communicative, hard-working, positive, and considerate. I moved out of state, and I wish I could bring her with me! Less

When we were ready to sell our house, we researched recent home sales in the neighborhood and found Bernice’s success with selling a home and contacted her. Bernice quickly responded back with available appointments to meet with us. She was diligent and prepared to discuss anything that would impact selling the home along with providing her market research on comparable homes. We were so impressed with her presentation and proactive communication that we decided to choose Bernice and her team. From there, it was a team effort from Bernice and Emilie (equally as diligent) to prepare us before the open house and once the home was on the market. I cannot emphasize enough how much Bernice and Emilie went above and beyond to help us throughout the whole process; they were both thorough in communication and feedback. We greatly appreciated both of their efforts, patience and consummate professionalism. Highly recommend!!! Less

Just want to highlight the excellent support we have gotten from our agent Bernice Sim and her team at Re-Max New Beginning in the selling of our home which we have gotten multiple offers and sold it at above asking price. We met Bernice through the Filipino Community where I served as the President for a few years, then she served as board member for a few years as well. Throughout the years of knowing her, we had entertained the thought of selling our home several times. Each time, Bernice spent time with us and ran comps. Well, eventually we were finally ready! The process of selling a home really starts well before the sign goes up. What doesn't get often seen is how involved Bernice and her team were behind the scenes in helping us get our home ready for market. It starts with a long list of suggestions including paint colors, getting rid of things, furniture placement. The painter and power washer were excellent! We worked with Vicki who helped us with staging choices and who also had her own list to help us look our best. The photography was beautiful and we fell in love with our home over again. There were videos and paid social media marketing that we got updates on. We had a huge open house and were thrilled to get competitive offers, above asking price! Bernice is always available a phone call or text away - before, during, after. The support we have gotten from Bernice throughout the process is unmatched including moving to our new place. We’re blessed of having her as our agent and a friend!🙌😍 Less

My overall experience with Mrs Curran was incredible! Last year I found myself in a difficult position of needing to sell my first home and had no idea where to start. I was referred to Catherine and shortly after contacting her she wasted no time to come view the house so we could meet and start forming a game plan together. She was very nice and professional and we were already able to go over what was great and what needed improvement as well as next steps of the process. She simplified the whole thing from start to finish. If something needed to be repaired/ improved she knew exactly who to contact which was very helpful and they were always reputable/ great to work with as well so you never had to worry. She was also very good at communication, you would always be updated and the first to know from her if anything came up. She taught me so much when it came to improving the value of your home. The whole transformation from where we started to the time we were ready to sell was amazing, it looked like a brand new house. I would say very knowledgeable and able to break down anything you might need clarification on. I would absolutely refer any friends or family to her when it comes to buying or selling a home and I can't wait to work with her again soon. Less

Our journey began in a rather serendipitous manner when Bernice attended one of my wife's yoga classes and generously offered to assist us in our search for a new home. Having had experiences with various realtors in the past, it's safe to say that Catherine, Bernice, and their team set a new standard for excellence in real estate services. From the onset, we were thoroughly impressed by their exceptional level of communication, proactive approach, and deep market knowledge. It's rare to find a team that not only meets but exceeds expectations in such a seamless manner. Their dedication and passion for what they do were evident in every interaction, making the entire process not just stress-free, but genuinely enjoyable. What truly sets Catherine and the Happy New Beginnings team apart, however, is their commitment to their clients even after the deal is done. Catherine has been an invaluable resource, graciously offering her extensive network of contractors to help us with various home improvement projects, from painting and floor refinishing to drywall repair. This level of post-purchase support is unparalleled and speaks volumes about their dedication to client satisfaction. I have since recommended Catherine, Bernice, and the entire Happy New Beginnings team to many friends, confident in the knowledge that they will receive the same outstanding level of service that we did. If you're in search of a real estate team that truly cares and delivers on their promises, look no further.

I can’t say enough good things about HNB and specifically Bernice and Catherine. They are a dynamic team. I’ve never seen anyone work so hard for their clients as these two do. If you’re looking to buy in a particular area, I’m telling you Catherine will find what you’re looking for!! She doesn’t just wait, she looks under the rocks and she doesn’t give up.

Bernice & I met through a fun social event and hit it off immediately. We then planned a social event together. Along the way, I confided in her that my family and I had tried to buy a house before but were sorely disappointed by the process and very discouraged. She listened attentively and encouraged me to keep having the conversation. Eventually, we scheduled a sit down "buyers' meeting" with her and her teammate, Catherine. After talking to them, we felt like we could hope again and begin the home buying process. So we started with baby steps forward. The next step was getting a GREAT lender involved. One who knows what they're doing and who could be patient with us and take us to the finish line. That's where Clay came in. You know, sometimes it's just about finding the right people to help you get where you dream to be. We were in an INSUFFERABLE rental situation - seriously, a nightmare. In fact, we had had no AC for months (Summers in Virginia are NO JOKE.) Catherine offered to lend us her very own window unit. Wow, talk about AMAZING customer service!! As a result of having no working HVAC, getting away from the rental and into our own home became of prime importance. Once we got our preapproval, we began to search in earnest. Not the easiest market, so even more important to have an experienced team that knows how to win for you. Catherine was phenomenal. Extremely responsive, attentive, detail oriented and patient. We felt like we could reach out anytime and she would always be there. I’m addition, she is ALSO into Ted Lasso, so, I mean, how can you go wrong?? Fast forward to today. We are now moving in to our very own home, just in time for our kids to return to school. It's truly a dream come true and we couldn't be happier. This team lives up to it's name - it's definitely our happy new beginning in Richmond. Next up: housewarming party and we look forward to inviting the entire team because throughout the process they went from providing us with a service to family who will be “stuck” with us forever!! We could not have purchased our home without their expertise and thoughtfulness and we certainly can not imagine our lives now without them!!! Woohoo! Less

I was helping my parents to sell their existing home and was caught in a situation on whether to sell it to a relative or go thru the process of listing it in the market. I was referred to Bernice by our Filipino friend. Also, she had helped my cousin with the buying and selling of his home and he had only good things to say. The first time I had met with Bernice, she immediately had put my mind to ease. Explaining the process and providing different options we have had at that time. Before she presented the options to my parents, Bernice had spent time a lot of time researching already. She then had met with me and my parents, presented a lot of market data with NO pressure to sell or sign anything. We talked a lot about it and she helped us understand different possible scenarios. She had been incredibly patient and understanding throughout the process and took the time to explain every detail and was available whenever we need her. There were few concerns that we had then. The goal was for my parents to get most out of the selling of their home and to do a rent back until their new home is completed so that they will not have to move twice. Eventually, my parents had agreed to list the house in the market. Bernice immediately started the process and laid out the step by step plan. She explained in details what was it entail to prepare the home for market. She connected us with her stager, Lisa who was awesome to work with as well. She was very involved and spent many hours with us. Lisa was very professional, helpful and has a keen eye for detail and design! She transformed my parents house and looked amazing after the staging has been completed. The house did so great on the market, finalized a contract in 48 hrs from the time it was listed! Much better than predicted and expected.Thanks to Bernice top notch negotiating skills. Bernice and her team truly exceeded our expectations! We were very impressed on how accurate the timeline Bernice had laid out to us. We will not forget to mention how delightful we were to also work with her Operational Manager, Emilie. She was in charge of a lot of the administrative details and communication. The whole team provided an exceptional customer service, went above and beyond to make sure all our needs, questions and concerns were taken care of. They turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable experience. We truly made the right decision and will recommend Bernice and the Happy New Beginnings Team without reservation for all your real estate needs! HIGHLY recommended! Less

Bernice helped my dad sell his house and did a great job. We were amazed at the number of offers and the transformation. Although I was hesitant at first - I had an offer from a friend - Bernice showed me through her market analysis that I could make a lot more money. So after my dad's house closed, we went to work on making improvements to my house. We followed the recommendations and even added a few extras for the new buyers. Once again, Bernice did a fantastic job. We got tons of showings and a lot of great offers to choose from. Bernice was always willing to meet us in person for the signatures and to go over the different choices that we had. We were really happy with the results and I couldn't believe how much we got for the house. The house looked really great and I was proud of how great it looked. Bernice and Emilie were easy to work with and always kept us in the loop. She definitely knows what she's doing and gives very personal service throughout the whole process. Less

We were first time home buyers when I was referred directly to Catherine by a friend. She was my first and only call, as after about 2 minutes on the phone with her I knew she'd have us covered. We share a background in advertising, and in her former roll as a project manager, I'd usually recoil as she asks for progress on deadlines I would be loathe to meet. However, this trait was paramount to our comfort and ease in the home buying process. Always available, proactive, but never one to push before we were ready, she was the perfect realtor for me (a bit of a procrastinator) and my partner (someone who makes preparation binders for everything). Whenever we highlighted a house we were interested in (in the search system), we'd receive a quick and concise email about her knowledge of the property, what may or may not work for us, and her assessment of its availability timeline. It saved us LOADS of time and energy to get her input so quickly. She was hyper responsive when we asked to broaden our search into a new area, and even more so when in the same day we finally found a home we wanted to tour the very next morning. We toured three that day (because might as well), but in each of the houses we toured, she was honest and thorough about things to keep an eye on. We put an offer on the first one that very evening that was accepted the next day, in a moment that struck me at the time as "too easy", and given the then-current real estate landscape, made me suspicious that something would fall through. The unease was an unforced error on my behalf, as nothing fell through. Her advice on the offer, negotiations on what we could include in the closing, and honest and candid feedback to our concerns had us as tentative homeowners before it could even set in. And the cherry on top? She presented us with a binder when we showed up, and on closing with everything we needed to know and keep track of. Making my partner straight up JAZZED. And me, resigned to an additional binder in our preparation stack. But it's my favorite one. Catherine may have set us up for disappointment the next time (whenever it is) we enter another home search. But I reckon that disappointment won't come to pass if she's still doing what she does and we can be lucky enough to leverage her expertise, friendliness, and straight-up heroic levels of preparation in her craft. A craft that doesn't end after closing, as she's proven to be an invaluable resource in terms of references and advice for the needs and whims of home ownership. I couldn't be more happy with our experience. She's also cool as all get out to hang out with while being strangers walking through homes that aren't yours. And even cooler to hang out with at the Happy New Beginnings get togethers. Which we plan to attend regularly if only to check in on our favorite realtor and new friend. Less

It's a huge responsibility to be the Power of Attorney for our dear Aunt and even bigger when you're tasked with selling her house from far away. We really needed someone who we could trust to do right by us and right by her because all the proceeds were going to her longterm care. First of all, we found Bernice online and were impressed with her reviews. But you can't just trust other people's words. Actions say everything. From the beginning, she listened and was kind and sensitive to our situation. I could tell right away that we made a good choice. She put us in touch with the right professionals! Thank you to Preferred Title, Sherry answered questions for us even off hours! Since I work full time, it was so important to find someone who didn't mind talking after work. Bernice patiently explained every piece of paper to us so that we felt comfortable. She was never rushed, even late at night! Even though my Aunt's house definitely needed some fixing up, we talked through lots of different strategies. She showed us the realistic price ranges through showing us the neighborhood stats and homes that had recently sold. When we considered changing the carpet, she contacted different carpet contractors for us and got us quotes. Our budget was really tight and in the end we went with the recommendation to put the home on the market as is. Wow, by pricing it right, the proper marketing and social media - she's a big social media expert, we were amazed by the popularity of the home and the offers. On the first day, we had about 30 showings! By the end of the day, we had 7 amazing offers. It was hard to choose, but we went with an incredible cash offer that closed in about 10 days. It was SO FAST! And we are so so happy with the result and the funds that we can use towards the care of our beloved Aunt. Go with Bernice and her team. They are amazing and walked us through EVERY STEP! Emilie helped and was also amazing. Trustworthy. Kind. Patient. Expert. Those are the words I think of. For any estate sale or out of town situation, you won't find a more attentive, results oriented real estate team to help. 5 Stars for Bernice and her team!! Less

Bernice helped me with my first home about 7 years ago - and by the way, can I tell you that I am extremely pleased and amazed at how much it has appreciated? I'm really glad I bought back then. It's certainly a different market now. I had watched Bernice grow her rental portfolio and was impressed by what she was able to achieve and wanted to get on the band wagon and start a cashflowing machine myself. Tough to find a deal these days, but there are ways to achieve success if you have the right team backing you. The HNB team is extremely proactive and constantly watching the market for their folks. I can tell you that they move fast and if you do what they say, you will prevail. It didn't take long to find my first rental and, even better, Bernice was able to negotiate successfully for $20K below list! She told me not to tell their secrets so I won't but I will say that as a bystander and someone who has watched this team grow from a team of one to what they are today, they really go all out for their clients. They really go above and beyond to advocate for their clients, and they definitely did for me; I'm just glad that I get to start earning passive income and I can't wait to watch THIS property increase in value. Do yourself a favor and at least interview Bernice and her team if you want to get top of the line service before, during, and after. They make it seem easy, but it isn't. This team works HARD so you can succeed. But this process and the cash flow results has been so positive, I'm going to be on the lookout for rental number 2 soon. I know where I'll be turning for help, This team rocks! Less

I met Bernice through a friend and neighbor and, for a few years, we have been in conversation about selling my home. Bernice helps not only with helping you make decisions on what are the most important things to focus on for home renovations, but also helps with lining up reputable contractors throughout the process. Her team included Emilie who was there throughout the process as well. There was a ton of communication. They hosted a really successful open house and generated a lot of traffic. We got the home under contract quickly and for much higher than I thought possible. Even though that first contract fell apart, they got a comparable backup offer in place quickly, even though we were in the middle of December!

Bernice was recommended to me by an excellent consultant I was working with to help identify suitable senior living quarters for my mother. Following Mom’s move, it was time to sell her house, but it was equally crucial for me to have a broker I could completely rely on, as I live out of state. From the beginning, Bernice immediately put me at ease. She was extremely committed and patient, helped me to identify needed professionals to declutter and sell the contents of the house, and even assisted a live-in family member find an appropriate apartment. Bernice also assisted with essential improvements to optimize the appearance of the house before we put it on the market. We discussed numerous considerations including paint, flooring, carpet, and more, evaluating which were most necessary to optimize the sale. The house looked beautiful after these interventions, and the monetary results were quite satisfactory. Throughout this entire process, I was able to trust Bernice and her team to support me. Of course, there were a few bumps along the way, but they were all handled professionally and with abundant communication. If you live away from Richmond—or even if you don’t—and need someone to handle a comprehensive estate sale home process, I highly recommend Bernice and her Happy New Beginnings team, especially Catherine, who look the lead in this partnership.

Catherine E Curran was our realtor for the purchase of our second home. It was a cross country move where I was local and my wife was remote throughout the buying process. Leading up to our first viewing with Catherine, I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to focus on properly exploring the homes we were viewing while managing a live video tour for my remote wife. I’m not the type to impose myself on others, so it was very refreshing when I found that Catherine took that responsibility upon herself from the start. She flawlessly managed the back and forth questions of both an in-person and remote client who were at times focused on entirely different aspects of the homes. Her knowledge of all things home-buying and her perspective as an unbiased third party removed from the emotions that could cloud one’s judgment were invaluable. And her management of the many time sensitive steps during the process eliminated a lot of stress for us. Over the past couple of years, I have had great success with utilizing Catherine’s network of local plumbers, electricians, general contractors, etc for various projects we have done on our home. Her extensive experience with multiple individuals in the various fields above has allowed her to find trustworthy and expert contractors, saving us a great deal of vetting time and helping us avoid negative experiences while maintaining and improving our home. Happy New Beginnings, the real estate team with which Catherine is an agent, has been extremely supportive of us over the years. They have amazing get-togethers for all past clients, generous and thoughtful giveaways throughout the year, and extremely helpful information posted on their social media page. Their love of real estate and customer service has made them the perfect partner for all home buying and home selling needs! Now for some fun: If Catherine was an eBay seller in the 1990s, she would receive an “Excellent seller!!!!! A+++++++++++++” review from us! If Catherine was a director showing her film at the Cannes Film Festival, she would receive a 23-minute standing ovation. If Catherine was a realtor, we would use her for all our future home selling and home buying business! ;-) Less

My husband and I both felt that she had great insights and she knows Richmond like the back of her hand. If we ever ended up back here, she’d be the agent we’d call! Less

Bernice's expertise and guidance got us to the front of the line in a super competitive offer situation. We won over 15 other offers. We are expecting our first baby in 3 months so time was tight and we are SO glad we didn't have to keep trying again offer after offer. We are thrilled and have already started to make this house a home. We love it and can't wait to make great memories. Bernice made this as painless as possible, definitely go with her! Less

I was referred to Nikki from my best friend who was selling his house. I had recently decided I was ready to take the leap and purchase my first home. I had conversations with other realtors and lenders the previous week but felt they were too busy for me and made me feel like just another sale. Let me say when I met Nikki she immediately made me feel that wouldn’t be the case with her. She was patient, honest and informative as we searched for houses for 2 months. I lost 3 offers but she kept encouraging me in this crazy market I would find my dream home. In March 2021, I closed on my first home. She was always professional with a down to earth personality and always eager and willing to run and see a house whenever time allowed. To this day I feel like I gained a friend in my realtor. She always sends helpful new homeowner tips monthly in the mail and I am a lucky one who sees her on holidays. No other realtors goes that above and beyond for their clients. I recommend her all the time to anyone who says they are in the market to purchase because my experience was amazing. She exceeded my expectations with getting me almost everything within my checklist and I will always be grateful that I had her along this journey. Less

Firstly, my spouse and myself have never purchased a house before nor have we gone through the process. Marisa made it her job to make sure we were comfortable and that we understood the entire process. We gave Marissa the vision of what we wanted our first home to include. Marisa then created a portal based on our wants and scheduled showings to each house we took liking to. She made herself available around our busy work schedules and offered comfort for any concerns. After being shown a few houses and losing some hope , she reassured us that the process is not to be rushed and she’s down for “the ride” until we check all of our boxes and fall in love. Moreover, the day came that we walked into the house, that we both felt was “our home”, Needless to say Marisa’s response time was timeless. We put in our offer and in a pile filled by many others & ours was approved! All of this to say Marisa is by far an amazing, knowledgable, attentive, caring, and sweet realtor who I would recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed!!! #Happiness #LoveWins #Equality Less

In such an unpredictable and fast-paced market, Marisa Jones was so responsive, dedicated, and willing to help us as first-time home buyers understand the process while moving us through it quickly and efficiently. She has been kind, very thorough, and most importantly asked us in our first conversation what our values, wants, and needs were and listened to exactly what we asked for and needed--and followed through on providing that for us. We weren't sure about what kind of home we wanted, and through the process, Marisa helped offer suggestions that allowed us to get clarity and find the true home of our dreams in two weeks. She helped us understand how to write a strategic offer and we got the house that we wanted! Really can't recommend Marisa highly enough for her personalized, responsive, and thoughtful service to my husband and I. Marisa, thank you!!

Catherine Curran and her team at "Happy New Beginnings" was my realtor in helping me purchase my first home, and she was so wonderful throughout the process that she is who I picked to help me later sell it as well! She was extremely knowledgable in helping me navigate the steps and questions all first homeowners have, and she does it with the kind of genuine patience that you never are made to feel silly for having asked something! Richmond's market was red hot at the time I went to sell, and I'm sure the house would have sold the same day we listed it if she had wanted to make less work for herself, but that's not the kind of person Catherine is. Instead, she hosted an open house for me over a long weekend so that plenty of folks had the time to come see the house and that ended up in getting more offers to choose from! She went the extra mile and I'm sure I got better offers because of it. Beyond her professionalism and competence though, Catherine is just a great person to be around, so much so that I recommended her with confidence to family and later a colleague of mine. She's the kind of person you'll want have over to your house warming party when the time comes just to catch up! Less

At the time, I wasn't looking to buy, which she understood. We had good conversation and she wasn't pushy about finding me a home. We swapped information and kept in touch occasionally, until a few months later when I decided to start house hunting. I was newly single and looking for a home where my two young children could thrive. Catherine got right to work searching for homes that met my criteria, was open and willing to listen to my suggestions, and guided me step-by-step through the entire home buying process in a market that is crazy right now. I found the perfect home for my small family to make wonderful new memories in, and that would not have been possible without Catherine's diligence and dedication to hard work and wanting the best for me and my kids. She was by my side through the entire home buying process. She's knowledgeable and responsive. She cares so much, and it truly shows in her work. Less

We found Bernice and the Happy New Beginnings Team through an internet search and felt, from the outset, that Happy New Beginnings was the right real estate agency for us.

She was always available and thoughtful in her advice, going above and beyond throughout the entire process. Since we were out of state, communication and trust were paramount. We relied fully on Bernice and Nikki to guide us to the right house. We cannot praise them enough--their service was superb from start to finish.

When I first spoke with Bernice about the idea of selling my home, I named a number that seemed impossible to me. You see, I had bought a fixer upper in Hopewell and we still had a lot to do on the house. There were some areas that were totally renovated while others were a work in progress. Well, guess what. She did the research and said that it could probably go for more than I believed could happen - even in this market. Then, amazingly, it went for even MORE than that. There were multiple offers and Bernice got us $60K above what I told her I would be willing to sell the house for in the first place. It was pretty amazing!! She gave us really good advice on where to spend the money in preparing the home and she even got us a brand new roof, practically free. Her team is incredible. Throughout the process there was a lot of good communication and we even got a free rent back so that it wasn't as stressful trying to get out by the closing date. The whole process was very smooth and went beyond my wildest dreams. I'm so glad that I had her and her team on my side. I know I have a friend and advocate for life - I'm ready for my happy new beginning! Thanks, Bernice!! Less

We worked with Bernice to buy our first home, and it was time to start the journey again. Our family had grown since them, and we needed something bigger. We had spent years with our eyes on a very hot area of Richmond, but in 2020, the already high demand skyrocketed to another level of fierce competition. We made several offers and were heartbroken several times, but Bernice walked alongside us through it all and never gave up on our dream. She always made herself available for showings (often with very little notice given the speed at which houses went under contract), was a great communicator, and gave great advice on winning strategies. We went through a few different types of homes (e.g., move-in ready, fixer-upper, tear down) and finally decided to bid on a piece of land. As usual, the competition was very tight. It was a nerve wracking process, but, in the end, we outbid at least 15 other offers. We can't wait to build our dream home on an awesome lot and are so thankful for Bernice! Less

I started off with another realtor but felt ignored so I found Bernice - and I'm glad I switched. It was day and night difference! She was very hands on, which I needed because my house was a "work in progress." She helped me make decisions for paint, which upgrades would get me the most bang for my buck, and also helped identify some potential problem areas. She also has a great in house staging service that really brought the house to life and made it look like a home. The end product looked amazing. I was impressed by the quality of the photos and marketing. She even did a Zillow walk through tour, which is so important these days. Because of her, we were able to aim for a higher price point than I originally thought. We had so much interest and offers right away. The process wasn't easy and our first contract fell through but we regrouped and were able to get another great offer. Bernice and her team kept me up to date - this was not always easy as I am in the military and was on the field or traveling for most of the transaction. You really need someone you can trust and who will keep you updated and stay calm. Bernice and the Happy New Beginnings team is your one stop shop. It was a pleasure working with her and her team.

I have bought and sold 7 homes in 4 different states. Each time I buy or sell I always interview agents to find the one with the experience level and attention to detail that would be needed for my transaction. Once I complete my interviews, I circle back with the best one and complete the paperwork process. I assumed this time would be the same. This time I interviewed Bernice Sims with Happy New Beginnings, and during the interview it became clear to me that Bernice was the person I was looking for. I made my commitment to use her during the interview and canceled my interviews with the other agents. I was pleased with my decisions as we put together a full-scale action plan within the first 24 hours. The level of communication and follow up by Bernice and her team throughout my purchase and sale of my home was outstanding! If you are looking for your own Happy New Beginning, I would highly recommend Bernice Sims. Less

We absolutely loved working with Bernice and Sarah!! They were so helpful, educational, and very responsive! They worked hard for us and we felt very well taken care of during our first time buying a home. Thank you again for all that you guys do!... More

All I can say is WOW! Bernice Sim and the team at Happy New Beginnings are outstanding! Bernice is super organized, motivated and has “can-do” approach to every aspect of a home purchase.

If you are searching for a great realtor in RVA, you can stop right here...because Bernice is the best! I found Bernice online, read some reviews, and went with a gut feel. I was pleasantly surprised to hear back from her via phone within an hour after filling out the contact form on her website. As I laid out the situation -- a somewhat complex estate sale that would require some renovations -- she listened patiently and was already offering good advice as we wrapped up our first of many conversations. She immediately understood the situation and got what I was saying, which highlights some of Bernice's greatest strengths: she knows the real estate market, and she understands people. I continued to be impressed with her responsiveness throughout our time working together. We had a lot to do to get the home ready for market, and Bernice helped us prioritize and come up with a plan of action. It was a huge task -- from decluttering, to refinishing the floors, painting, replacing the carpet, staging, and more. She even helped us list and sell some furniture. When you have to do all of this, you really need a great team of people so you can maximize your dollars. We saved a lot of money on painting, flooring, and carpet, using contractors Bernice recommended. The property sold in just two days, over asking price, with multiple offers. Less

Bernice and the Happy New Beginnings Team did a amazing job selling my house. I was able to get a higher price point from the sale than I thought possible. Bernice was transparent and laid out the details of her approach at our initial meeting. She and her team did a great job of staging the house to make it stand out in a crowded community of over 500 homes. Once staged, her marketing team went to work photographing the house and community. The team used those photographs for a marketing blitz on numerous outlets including Realtor.com, multiple social media outlets and even Waze.com. My friends and neighbors were very impressed with how the how was presented and marketed. Bernice and her team made the process incredibly easy. They did the work and told me to get out of the way. I’m not sure who was happier after the sale, the neighbors or me. Like I said before, her approach got a higher price point than I expected. In doing so, we significantly raised the comps in the community. If you are selling your house, I highly recommend Bernice and the Happy New Beginnings Team. Thank you. Less

I was pleasantly surprised to hear back from her via phone within an hour after filling out the contact form on her website.

As I laid out the situation--a somewhat complicated estate sale that would require renovations, and family dynamics that needed some navigation--she listened patiently and was already offering good advice as we wrapped up our first of many conversations. She immediately "got" the situation and she "got" me, which highlights some of Bernice's greatest strengths: she understands the real estate market, and she understands people.

In the beginning, the dream of homeownership seemed like almost an impossibility. My situation was complicated, to say the least, so I really needed the support of the right team coming together to help. The first step was being pre-approved. Thank goodness Bernice introduced me to Vanessa with Prime Lending who truly performed a miracle. Due to having had a bankruptcy and a short sale in my not too distant past, I truly did not expect that I would be able to get pre-approved yet, but she did it! Then when it came to looking for a house...well, I felt like I probably was one of the more difficult clients because of my list of "musts" that I was looking for in our new home. Bernice’s team was unbelievably patient with me, consistently quick to respond and act, and really knew what they were doing. They gave tips such as what to look for in good kitchen cabinets and what to look for as far as being able to re-sell the home in the future (avoid 2 bedroom houses! :P) I'm telling you, this team is a joy to work with. Love you all, and thanks so much for everything you have done to help me! Less

Anyone who works with Bernice is both lucky and blessed. Her level of knowledge, passion, and access to resources is hard to beat! Let me just explain exactly how amazing Bernice Sim is... I just went through a crazy offer scenario, very complex and lots of challenges. I reached out to her because we're friends (not like talk everyday friends, but like I'm there if you need something type friends, even if we haven't spoken in over a year).. right, so she immediately responds, we hop on FaceTime call and I proceed to witness her operate on her natural frequency of what I like to call "super sagent"... similar to Super Saiyan (for all you Dragon Ball Z fans) but much more powerful... telling me what I need to do, who I need to talk to (the making the right connections part was a big deal and without it, I wouldn't have been able to make it happen). Anyways, she knows I'm not in a position to use her as an agent right now and she opted to give me full access to her knowledge and resources and for that, I'm forever grateful. Hopefully, this deal gets accepted and we can all celebrate when this COVID scenario passes. Since I wasn't able to give her the buyers commission, this is THE LEAST I can do. Make the right decision. Cheers! Less

Bernice & Sarah from the Happy New Beginnings team partnered together to sell our home! While Bernice was our first contact, Sarah helped a lot in the foreground while Bernice remained connected and reachable in the background. Sarah knew A LOT about the area and was so responsive. Well, we got great service - awesome professional photos, staging advice, and our home sold in the first week! Our journey was a very unique one because our buyer ended up being a church! Well, this involved a whole longer and more involved process as well as a longer close date. This ended up being PERFECT for our situation as it gave us time to help our Aunt pack and move out (she was the owner). We were so glad that our realtors were able to work with our specific needs and circumstances. There were some stressful moments since it involved the county as well, but we were grateful to have two very involved and hands-on realtors by our side. Thanks for helping us close this chapter and move forward! God Bless YOU! Less

After disappointing experiences with 2 prior big name realtors, we were more than ready to get our house sold. One of our friends recently used Bernice to help sell their house and raved about how happy they were, so we decided to interview her. She had really done her research, really listened to our grievances and goals, and laid out a plan. It was a breath of fresh air because she didn't overpromise - almost the opposite, in fact! We were worried about putting our house up just before Christmas but Bernice helped us stage the home and make it look awesome. As soon as we hit the market we had two showing requests and within hours we had an offer!! We were shocked and in disbelief. We had almost gotten used to waiting and feeling frustrated and disappointed, but, boom! Sold! So fast and what a smooth transaction all the way to closing... it was almost too good to be true. Some of things that we feel Bernice does best: Research – she is not guessing at the market or surprised by anything. Battle plan – she provides a multi-pronged attack and makes a splash when you hit the market. Communication – throughout the process we were kept informed and had constant contact with Bernice. Coaching – Bernice guided us through the entire process and never once were we worried or concerned about what was taking place. Less

We met Bernice in a weird way - through Facebook marketplace! I saw some pretty Christmas decorations she was selling and knew that my sister would love them. My sister had lost all her belongings in a fire a few months before. When Bernice found out about this she gave her the whole lot. We were touched. When it came time to sell our home, Bernice helped us make good choices to get our home ready. She helped with paint colors and which home improvements to focus on. Then she had our home professionally staged - it looked amazing! She really goes over and beyond other realtors in her service. There was tons of communication and everything came together in a very organized and professional manner. We sold our house for 40K over what we initially thought we could sell it for! What a difference the right realtor makes. The whole thing was so smooth and we always felt taken care of. If you want a realtor who will bend over backwards for you, treat you with respect and dignity and kindness, look no further. Can't recommend her and the Happy New Beginnings team highly enough. Thank you and so glad to call you a friend now too. Less

I shared my experience with the realtor with my lawn guy. He recommended that I call Bernice. When she sat down with me she was very thorough and obviously did a lot of research on our home. She was able to point out what we could do to improve its marketability yet not "break the bank." She even recommended some GREAT contractors to help us with the floors and the painting. She has a valuable network of awesome folks to help get a house ready for market... She was very hardworking and dedicated to our success and kept in constant communication with 3 people from 2 different states! We got three strong offers in only 4 days on the market! Wow!

As repeat client in a crazy market we couldn’t be more pleased with Bernice Sims and her Happy New Beginnings Team!!! What a crazy market, homes are flying off the shelves in this seller's market and you need an experienced realtor who was by our side. Bernice took the time for us and has the skills that won our home. We totally fell in love with a cute cape cod house with mature gardening in the neighborhood that was just perfect for us. It was extremely stressful fight between multiple offers on the home we absolutely loved but Bernice stayed on top of top every detail through-out negotiations. She pulled out all her "secret strategies" that made the absolute difference in beating out the competition. It wasn't easy and we were on the edge of our seats to the final hour. We are sooo glad that we have not only a realtor we can trust on our side, but also a friend. She just "gets us" and really is here to help. The inspection process was pretty rigorous, being an old home. Thankfully with her guidance, calmness, and support we were able to find an amicable way through that process. There was never any pressure from Bernice on our decisions and we always knew she wanted whatever was best for us. Bernice also helped sell our home which is another hard-fought battle. Don't go to anyone else - she and the Happy New Beginnings Team were a tremendous! Even if it's stressful at times, it also was a fun experience and we have shared many laughs along the way too. We can't wait to start making memories in our beautiful new home. Thank Bernice for EVERYTHING!!! Less

Due to being out of state, I had to ask her to make multiple trips to meet contractors, take photos, check on things... We had over 50 showings. Bernice worked very hard to market and sell my home - she helped advise on repairs and paint colors, staged the home so it looked amazing, got a professional photographer, used social media, open houses, and more to get my home maximum exposure. She helped navigate a great contract on the home - the pricing was on point - almost exactly what she predicted it would sell at the very first day we met! I'm really glad I had someone so responsive, reliable, and kind to help me close this chapter of my life in Richmond. Thanks, Bernice, for helping me with my Happy New Beginning!

Bernice sold our house 2 days before Christmas for more than we thought possible!! When she first came to check out the home, we were undecided on which route to go - sell "as is" or fix it up and sell it for higher. Well, we are so glad that we chose the latter option and we are so glad that we had Bernice's guidance throughout. We were really able to focus on just what was necessary to maximize our dollars. The house ended up looking great, thanks to the advice, the contractor, the staging, the photos looked so awesome, it almost made us forget that we wanted to sell, ha! Bernice is super responsive whenever we had questions. Nothing took us by surprise because she does such a thorough job explaining what to expect next. The entire experience was very professional and pleasant. Bernice truly cares more about her clients than the transaction... so happy to sell our house and close this chapter and start our Happy New Beginning. Less

We first connected with Bernice at an Open House more than two years ago. I kept her card and we used her to help us sell our little condo. We had hired a different realtor before and the experience was like night and day. The prior situation was chaotic, where seemingly anything and everything that could go wrong happened. There were many occasions where we were left scrambling to address issues and find solutions by ourselves. The previous home buying experience was extremely draining and disheartening, and we gave up for quite some time. Bernice was able to restore our confidence when we were ready to give home buying another try. Bernice truly cared about our wants and needs, and she instantly put us on an MLS search for the right home. It didn't take long for us to find our dream home - a gem of a house right in the middle of Short Pump! We fell in love. At the time, we bought it was a strong sellers' market, so we were nervous about losing this one. Bernice acted quickly to help us put together a strong offer....the whole process was SO SMOOTH all the way to closing. She was constantly available if we had any concerns or questions. There were several occasions where I texted or emailed her after midnight; and yet I always received a response right away. We always knew what was coming up next and there were no horrifying surprises. When Bernice told us what to expect, we knew we had nothing to worry about. She is extremely knowledgeable and she gives excellent recommendations for lending advisors, contractors, inspectors, and other professionals. Bernice is truly a wonderful person and a blessing to our family. We were dealt with several distressing obstacles outside of working with Bernice, and she was always there to give us words of encouragement. We are sincerely indebted to Bernice for her graciousness, and I can honestly say we started with a realtor and now we know we have a friend for life. Less

We have moved a lot - anyone who's military understands. In the last 10 years, we've moved about 8 times - so we have also met a lot of realtors!! We were SO glad to have been able to have Bernice and Sarah, who is part of her Happy New Beginnings team, help us. The situation was crazy! We found out we really wouldn’t have time to find a house AND get settled once we got to VA, only about 10 days, so we were under a pretty tight deadline to say the least. We really needed a true expert in the area and someone we could like and trust and best represent our needs. We had high hopes. Our last real estate experience was so hectic and a lot of lessons learned and so we really wanted a home that we could just move into and love. And we found it. After flying into town for only 2 days, Sarah escorted us around and showed us about 20 homes. After deciding on a home and about to put an offer on it, at the last minute, another home came on the market. It was really a miracle and Bernice and Sarah were completely sympatico with our wishes, they knew this home was what we were looking for, they had found our dream home. To get it, it involved them tag teaming to make the deal happen. It was nerve wrecking, but we got it!! We had to make an offer on a home "sight unseen" - Bernice FaceTimed with us while Sarah was busy working on the paperwork - it was quite the adventure! They also made the whole buying process so easy and less stressful for us! Sarah attended the home inspection for us and scheduled so many things for us so we could worry about all the other things with the loan and getting packed up to move. All's well that ends well and I'm happy to say that we CLOSED on time, in less than 30 days, and couldn't be happier to start our Happy New Beginning in Richmond - and now we have two new friends here too. Thank you, Bernice and Sarah! Less

SOLD in the first weekend, 9 offers, over 20k above asking!! You want a realtor who's REAL - who will put her all into it - we couldn't be happier with the level of service, the communication, the attention. She helped get us the BEST scenario by creating a competitive situation. Selling your house? Listen to her advice and you won't go wrong. She's a great PARTNER and GUIDE. Helped us look our best - awesome marketing. Explained the pricing strategy - she's super transparent - and then made our house look fantastic through tips, staging, photography. She pulled it all together in one week - we were really amazed. She has an awesome team that makes the whole experience so smooth and painless. We left Virginia feeling confident that everything was in good hands. Less

Being in the military, we have moved numerous times! This was our 4th home purchase so we are not new to buying real estate. Some of the things that stood out about working with Bernice are was her flexibility, promptness, and knowledge of the surrounding area. We were on a very short timeline, literally just outside 30 days of having to move. We called Bernice on a Tuesday and she was so amazing to speak with and basically got us situated to look at houses that Thursday. She lined up all of the houses we wanted to look at and even some that she picked for us just from our brief conversation. The day was long looking at so many different houses but by the time we were done with the last house, we pretty much already knew which one we wanted, so Bernice was able to submit our offer that very same day. Again, super-efficient and extremely knowledgeable. When we closed on our house, we walked away WITH money! This could only happen because Bernice got us ample closing costs and also recommended a great lender who helped us get an excellent loan product. We loved that everyone on this Real Estate Dream Team was so responsive, so professional, and just made this such an easy process all the way to closing and beyond. This home purchase experience has been by far the smoothest transaction we have ever been through. Thanks Bernice and Team! I'm glad we found a realtor we could trust, feel comfortable with, and even be friends with afterwards. Bernice truly cares about us and how we feel. We are tremendously fortunate to have gotten one of the best realtors in Richmond. Get Bernice along with the Team of professionals she works with to get you into your next home. Less

Being out of town, over 100 miles away, I even wound up depending on Ms Sim to coordinate with Contractors for advised repairs and then show up to let them in. She would often send pictures of the work completed or of specific areas of my home needing that extra touch for stronger market appeal. Yes, I was able to sign off from afar. That’s real Customer Service. She absolutely kept me informed at every step and happily answered her phone, even into late hours of the night. She was very good at providing status or providing me options for decisions that needed to be made. I definitely would use her again. Again, she is 100% Recommended! Less

Happily, I can say I’m in a condo that I love thanks to Bernice’s quick action and negotiating skills. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Bernice also knows everyone which helped when it came time to finance my purchase. That connection in turn led to finding a new insurance carrier which helped me to save money versus what I was paying before. Less

Bernice just sold another one of my properties! Last year Bernice sold a house that I owned in the Richmond Virginia metro area. My experience with Bernice was sooo pleasant last year that I did not hesitate to hire her again to sell another property. Just recently I closed on the sell of that property and thanks to Bernice the marketing, communication, negotiations and transaction went smooth as silk. I have bought and sold many homes over the decades and I have hired Realtors in 12 different cities throughout 4 States. Out of all the Realtors that I have dealt with Bernice is the Best! For me she wins First Place, Gold Metal, Blue-Ribbon and Gold Star! When Bernice has one of my listings I feel confident that I am with a Realtor that is trustworthy, intelligent, polite, kind, professional and hard-working. What more could a seller, or buyer, want in a Realtor? Giving Bernice Sim an Excellent review is the easiest thing to do. Hire Bernice, she’s the Best! Less

It’s difficult to know where to begin with all the wonderful things I can say about Bernice Sim and there is certainly not enough space to do so. She not only helped me prepare and sell my house in Walton Lake, but made us feel like we were part of a team throughout the process. It was quite the journey!! As a pilot, I am often out of town, in the air, or in a different time zone. Not a problem for Bernice……even when I was literally on the other side of the world. She successfully navigated my crazy schedule and then coordinated hers along with many others going above and beyond to help line the right people up to get my house ready to sell. She not only made top notch recommendations for prep jobs such as painting and new carpet design, but was integral in coordinating the jobs, being at the house when I was unable to do so, and advocating for me when things didn’t go exactly as planned. She was truly a ONE STOP SHOP and with time being my most precious asset, Bernice proved to be an angel every step of the way. You wouldn't believe the transformation in my home. She brought in a professional stager who made the home look absolutely amazing. She had a professional photographer take amazing pictures. The open house was teeming with people and she gave visitors cute little giveaways, refreshments, the works. In the end, we had three competing offers and sold our house for well above asking……I was stunned. There were some bumps along the way, but we got through it with her at our side, as our teammate. She was always on top of it and was easily reached from all corners of the globe (literally). My wife and I want to go buy another house just so we can team up with Bernice once again! Why are you even considering anyone else to sell your home? Creative, industrious, warm, and a true advocate. She's more than a realtor…..she’s a genuine treasure and we feel so blessed to have found her. We've made a friend for life. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for everything Bernice. Less

When we met Bernice, we were pretty new to the country. Our kids took squash lessons together and we hit it off. Soon after, she welcomed us to her home by inviting us to her annual client Christmas party - we met a lot of her friends and clients there. We enjoyed a growing friendship and bond through "board game" nights. Before long, we began to dream of owning our own house. That's when she introduced us to David who helped us navigate the loan process very smoothly. The process was extremely smooth, Bernice and her team gave us step-by-step guidance and everyday support on the way from the moment when we decided to buy a house and to the exciting moment of receiving the keys. Buying a house is a big deal and can be stressful but she made it easy and fun. Bernice is a great person and a friend who always happy to help and she is a great professional which can provide a priceless advice at the right moment. We will not hesitate event a second to recommend Bernice as a real estate agent who can provide the first class service. Thanks you, Bernice, for your tremendous help and support! Alex & Elena Less

She's definitely very responsive and knows what she is doing. We found her easy to get along with and fun, yet she also made sure we were well protected and represented during the negotiations and the inspection, and beyond. She helped us quickly find and win the house of our dreams in a neighborhood we weren't even considering before meeting her. We call it our "Party House" because we love hosting and entertaining family and friends. In fact, we have already planned a party just one week after we move in. We are so excited to be living in Short Pump and know we have also gained a great friend (and neighbor) in the process. We feel really good about the schools here and about making many great memories in the years to come. It's definitely a Happy New Beginning for us. Party time!" Less

Thanks for all your help Bernice. We contacted some of the top agents in the Henrico area and Bernice was the only one that returned calls promptly and actually took the time to answer our questions and go above and beyond what we expected. We were selling a house in Glen Allen area while we were across the country. She helped immensely in taking care of the logistics which took the stress off of us not being there. She sold the house within 48 hours of the listing going up. If you want someone reliable and trustworthy that goes out of her way to help you sell your home, then we highly recommend Bernice Sims.

We were looking for something VERY specific and not easy to find, given the stringent criteria. The location had to be just right and there had to be a first floor master bedroom. Bernice put us on a search through MLS and eventually the ideal house came up, except that it was very much overpriced. Bernice pulled some comps and even though it was a long shot, suggested that we make an offer for... More

We were looking for something VERY specific and not easy to find, given the stringent criteria. The location had to be just right and there had to be a first floor master bedroom. Bernice put us on a search through MLS and eventually the ideal house came up, except that it was very much overpriced. Bernice pulled some comps and even though it was a long shot, suggested that we make an offer for market value. This was 40K below asking! The negotiation process was pretty intense with a lot of back and forth. Finally, we arrived at a great number, just a little above our initial offer. Everything progressed smoothly with the transaction until the end, when we discovered that there was a title issue that needed to be cleared up. This definitely was not fun, but thankfully Bernice continued to advocate for us and keep us apprised of what was going on. She also persisted on our behalf with one of the biggest banks in the country and was able to shake loose the title issue - something a realtor normally does not do. She was always very responsive and willing to make multiple trips to the property. As well, she was helpful in getting a good mold remediation person in to do the work necessary. If you want an agent who is easy to get along with and committed to your goals, then you've found the right person." Less

What a great team! I have worked with Bernice numerous times and she is a ball of fire!

I know Bernice both as a Buyer's agent and a Listing agent and have to say that she surpassed my expectations. I've worked with a LOT of realtors and she went over and beyond. When we bought, we weren't looking at the time and the decision came very suddenly. She cleared her schedule immediately to accommodate our urgency and we found an amazing house.

I know Bernice both as a Buyer's agent and a Listing agent and have to say that she surpassed my expectations. I've worked with a LOT of realtors and she went over and beyond. When we bought, we weren't looking at the time and the decision came very suddenly. She cleared her schedule immediately to accommodate our urgency and we found an amazing house. She had to work both sides of the transaction then because it was a FSBO and pulled it off effortlessly. The whole process was very smooth and even the FSBO sellers had a great experience! When Bernice listed our home, she used a professional photographer and a stager so that our home looked so enticing in photos. We were under contract very very quickly and, again, a smooth transaction to the end. You want a responsive, 24-7 realtor who really cares about YOUR goals? Don't go to anyone else.

A realtor that goes the extra mile to not only settle in to your new home, but settle in to the neighborhood as well.

Within 2 weeks we had our house on the market, put an offer on our new home, and 2 months later we were closed on both homes. Not all agents are created equal- Bernice goes above and beyond for her clients. Multiple open houses, professional photos and video, and encouragement along the way, Bernice was patient, professional, and very responsive. Thanks for our Happy New Beginning! Less

Bernice is a spectacular realtor and even better person. My wife and I were not particularly familiar with Richmond when we started looking for a new home, and we really valued her guidance and perspective regarding the neighbirhoods we should focus on. She went above and beyond, consistently working weekends and nights to make sure everything we needed was submitted promptly. It was not at all unusual for us to be signing documents at 10pm on a Sunday. She spent hours walking through tedious documents answering every question I could come up with. We were able to purchase the perfect house for our family in a VERY competitive market due in large part to her hard work and dedication. If you are relocating to Richmond, definitely give Bernice a call. You won't regret it. Less

Bernice Sims did a superb job as our realtor! We could not have asked for anymore attention to detail than she delivered. We were very specific on what we needed in a new home and she found countless houses that fit our criteria. She patiently waited and gave sound advice sometimes even towards not choosing different homes because she knew our family's needs both physical and financial. Once we found the perfect house for all five of us she went to work getting us the best deal with our contract and closing costs. Even the closing lawyer was surprised at how well the financial side was worked out. There were several unexpected hold ups that were beyond our control and Bernice was steadily working behind the scenes on our behafe to move the process along and save us stress and added difficulties. Even after all her hard work at one point to get us in early we decided to wait out the closing, and she happily supported our decision trusting we knew best for our family. I know even with everything we do know she did, there was so much more we did not know about. She added such a personal touch to every interaction and even with special gifts at our closing. I could not more highly recommend any realtor or appreciate the friendship that has grown through this process. It takes a lot to do business with a friend and it go well. Bernice is the whole package!!! We are blessed to have had this beautiful experience with her and continue into our happy new beginning because of her amazing expertise and specialized service to our family! Less

Bernice is an awesome agent. She spent over a year with me in my home search and displayed unflagging professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and patience, especially when I had to cancel a contract. She stuck with me, and when the right house came along she acted quickly to arrange a showing, get an offer in, and get a contract signed even though we were dealing with a difficult relocation company. She then helped me find a great loan officer who, largely because of his respect for Bernice, went the extra mile in getting me a loan and closing cost that I could manage. Bernice is truly more interested in her clients' welfare and goals than in simply making a fast buck from the transaction. I can't recommend her highly enough. She helped me with my "happy new beginning" and she can help you with yours. Less

We met Bernice at an open house and was drawn to her because we felt like she really listened to us and cared about finding us the perfect house. We weren't shopping for a mansion, but she treated us like we were. She was very accessible through texts, e-mails, and calls even at odd hours, which was a big help as we worked to close on our house in less than a month. She was also helpful with thinking outside the box when problem-solving inevitable bumps in the home-buying road. When we found out from the mortgage company last minute that our cosigner, who was on a business trip in Boston, needed to get some final documents signed and notarized days before closing, she brainstormed ideas for getting the job done and kept me calm in the process.
