We Let Our Results Do The Talking For Us!

"I feel compelled to write this to make everyone aware of the extremely positive experience that I have gone through with the Bernard Team. I have bought and sold many properties in my life and want you to know, as well as any perspective customer of Coldwell Banker Bain, that my experience with Ian and his team was by far the best home selling and buying experience I have ever gone through. When Ian states that he wants to be your real estate broker for life, he really means it! ... it was obvious that he had the team approach to serving his clients, and a team to back it up...well, needless to say we found the home we were looking for and submitted an offer that was accepted, which at that time many Realtors wait to collect their fee, but not Ian, as I would still hear from him everyday making sure that all things were moving forward through the final phases of the process. Coordinating between the selling agent on my side and Cascadia Financial group on the buying side...making sure that everyone was on the same page and ensuring that all things went as smoothly as possible, not allowing anything to fall through the cracks... Finally I am happy to say that my wife and I are the proud new owners of a property located in an area I can only describe as unbelievable, and of all the areas my family and I have ever lived, it is best described as heaven...all thanks to Ian and his team of seasoned professionals. They have not lost their sense of customer service and the emotional needs of their clients, guiding them through what is usually a very stressful time in a family's life. I want you to know, as well as anyone that my read this letter, that you definitely can't go wrong in placing your real estates needs with CB Bain and specifically the Bernard team."

"The Bernard Team was phenomenal to work with. It is such a different dynamic when you work with a team as opposed to an individual realtor. Nothing got overlooked during the entire transaction which led to a very smooth close. We basically sat back and watched it all unfold, which took a lot of stress off my husband and I. The Bernard Team marketed so effectively that our home sold in less than a week, well above asking price! When it is time for us to make the move again we will definitely call on the expertise of The Bernard Team...not to mention tell all of our friends."

"This letter is in regards to the outstanding service that my wife Lindsey and I received during our home buying experience. My wife and I were very impressed with The Bernard Team throughout our entire transaction. Ian and Corinne were there for us when ever we had a question; they explained the entire process to us and made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. The Bernard Team was also there for us when we needed it the most. Unfortunately, there was a mistake made by our mortgage banker which was discovered the day before we were supposed to close and we were faced with the situation of needing a one day extension from the seller. It was because of Ian and Corinne that we were granted that extension. They handled the request perfectly and we were able to close on our purchase. I can not stress enough the importance of having experience and professionalism on your side when you are involved in a real estate transaction. Ian and Corinne have that experience and professionalism. They have earned our respect and trust and will be involved in our next real estate transaction. The Bernard Team has our highest confidence and recommendation."

"I moved to the Seattle area from Long Island, New York. I knew that I wanted a house as soon as I got on my feet. I also knew that finding the right agent(s) would be a challenging task. Luck was on my side when I came into contact with Ian and Corinne from one of my fellow workers.

They were very attentive to my needs and helped me along in the process since I basically knew nothing about the home buying process. Corinne explained all the details to me and answered all my questions with no hesitation. Let me tell you, I sure learned a lot about everything involved in a smooth real estate transaction.

Corinne is an expert negotiator in a competitive real estate market, which we are currently in. I believe that her expertise is what ultimately got us our first home! In the future, when purchasing my next home, I am going straight to Ian and Corinne, The Bernard Team."
