Testimonials

We can only give Bernadette Dunnigan our highest endorsement as a realtor and a lovely person to work with. Bernadette came highly recommended, but she had to earn the listing for our North Vancouver home. We interviewed three realtors, and we chose Bernadette because of her professional presentation, marketing plan, and understanding of the North Shore market.

 We made the right choice. Bernadette advised us on when to list our home, how to price it, and how to present it in the most attractive light.  In a declining market, Bernadette’s strategy led to multiple offers, and a sale price far exceeding our list price.

 It was easy for us to send more business to Bernadette. She has since sold three other homes, all owned by our close friends, with exceptional results.

 Selling a home can be an emotional and nerve-wracking process. We put our confidence in Bernadette and her colleague Shelly Hird, and they rewarded us with a calm and seamless selling experience. We were glad Bernadette was on our side during the negotiations. It wasn’t much fun for the buyers’ agents. We recommend you never try to negotiate against Bernadette.

Our experience with Bernadette was the best we have had with any Real Estate Agent we have worked with. From the moment we listed our home until we closed on our new home she was professional, patient and incredibly informative every step of the way. All of the marketing materials she presented for the sale of our home were professional and beautiful. Her negotiating skills and expertise about the market in our neighbourhood were huge assets to us when buying. Bernadette loves her job and it’s evident in everything she does but she doesn’t JUST love it, she also excels at it. 

I can’t thank Bernadette enough for all of her hard work.  Bernadette worked TIRELESSLY to first sell our home and then to purchase our new one.  She is very knowledgeable about the market and her marketing plan, I believe, really helped us to sell our home quickly in just 6 days. Her print work as well as the open house video which she organized were so beautifully done.  Her work is meticulous and she went really above and beyond to get the deals done quickly and efficiently.  I was so impressed with her relationship with other realtors and her ability to negotiate well for us and to be our voice.  We found a fantastic home thanks to Bern and we will not hesitate to refer her to our friends and family. She has the patience of a saint!!  Thank you again for everything.

This is just a note to thank you for all your efforts on our behalf. I want you to know that both Len and I were most impressed, not only by doggedness and determination in selling our home, but also for the cheery, friendly, never-say-die approach you took in doing so. Many realtors can lay claim to attention to detail and knowledge of the market – two areas in which you also shine – but none in my opinion can match your wonderful spirit as you led us through what can be a particularly trying time in one’s life. Your willingness to hold open houses weekend after weekend in an uncertain market and your complete lack of what I can only call pushiness will always be remembered and appreciated by us. Never did we feel pressured, either in buying or selling. You were always fair and honest. For this you have our sincere thanks and we wish you great success in the future.  

Best wishes

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your EXTREME patience in assisting Lianne and I with finding a property for us to build our first house on…you did a fantastic job of negotiating a fantastic price!

I would absolutely recommend you (and already do) to my friends and family and wish you continued success.

Thanks for all your help.  I can’t believe we got it for such a great deal… =)

Bernadette helped us sell our townhouse at The Manor at Edgemont and buy a new home in Lower Lonsdale in the spring of 2012. In both transactions, Bernadette’s knowledge of the market, negotiating skills and professional advice proved invaluable. Her marketing strategy for the sale of our home was realistic and achievable, and included a level of commitment to our success that went way beyond what we had expected.

Bernadette’s support and advice on everything from preparing our home for sale to keeping us informed on a daily basis of her progress convinced us that we made the right choice in selecting her to represent our interests. When it came to negotiating our sale, Bernadette’s diplomacy and tact avoided a protracted process and ensured an amicable and satisfying agreement with the purchasers. Then, switching to the purchase of our new home, Bernadette’s guidance and market savvy ensured that we made the right offer at the right time to secure the perfect property for our needs.

“We would highly recommend Bernadette – she was truly a pleasure to work with and made the selling and buying process a lot easier.  We were impressed with her knowledge, professionalism and high level of service.  Bernadette provided very valuable advice on the entire process including staging, pricing, desirable areas, things to watch out for when purchasing, etc. Her marketing materials were very professional and she has access to a great network of high quality professionals related to the buying/selling process. 

Above all, we trusted that Bernadette was always working for our best interests and was extremely understanding and accommodating of our (ever changing) needs.  Thanks, Bernadette!”

Well, thanks to you and Mike for your perseverance and hard work to flush-out an interested party that wanted to partake in our price range. It was a good provided referral and collective decision to take you on as our agent Bernadette.  In my opinion, this sale will impact all the future sales in the Manor (at Edgemont).  Good for you & Mike, and good for all the future owners/sellers that utilize your collective expertise in marketing this somewhat unique property in the North Shore.

Thank you again for everything.

We were very impressed with Bernadette’s organization, professionalism and knowledge of the real estate industry, and her calm, flexible and approachable style. It was refreshing to work with a real estate agent who went above and beyond to make the selling process as seamless as possible for our family. Bernadette was always available to address our questions and concerns, no matter how big or small. 

Bernadette’s marketing plan was thorough and detailed; in particular, the print material was professionally done and very impressive.  Bernadette was able to market our home in several mediums within a short period of time, ultimately showcasing our home for a quick and profitable sale.  The keepsake photo book and other goodies were greatly appreciated!   We would definitely ask Bernadette to help us with any future real estate purchases or sales and didn’t hesitate to refer our parents to her after our positive experience. Thank you Bernadette!

Buying and selling one’s home is always a stressful endeavor. Bernadette was the right choice for us when we decided to make a move. We were impressed with her professional manner, intelligence, and dedication to providing excellent service.  She has a thorough knowledge of the industry, and excels in her creative and up-scale marketing skills. 

 Buying: Bernadette was persistent in finding us the right home as opposed to pushing a sale. She listened carefully to all of our requirements and worked within those parameters. She researched every potential property and was willing to go “the extra mile” to assist us in any way possible. 

 Selling: She presented us with a thoughtful marketing plan based on her excellent understanding of the North Shore housing market. She really listened to all of our concerns and ensured that we were truly satisfied. Bernadette did a fabulous job of marketing our home. With her excellent attention to detail we were comfortable that she was presenting it to its finest advantage. Bernadette provided: excellent advice on staging, the use of professional photography to highlight our home’s special features, high profile advertising, and so much more.  We have recommended Bernadette to a number of our friends.

I am impressed with Bernadette’s knowledgeable and professional style. We were purchasing from out of the province, which presented a few logistical issues.  Bernadette was the perfect liaison between both family members, bankers, lawyers and inspectors from both provinces.  I appreciate her attention to details and her prompt services.  Her follow-up personal touches after the purchase were also appreciated.
