Client Testimonials

“Working with Berkeley was a fantastic experience. As first time homebuyers, we feel lucky to have found such a helpful agent. Berkeley guided us through every step of the process, going above and beyond at every opportunity. Berkeley showed us many, many homes and helped us write a handful of offers before we finally found the one. His background in construction led to many great insights on houses we toured. Berkeley never pressured us, and was persistent in showing us home after home until we found the perfect one. It was difficult competing in this insane market, but Berkeley helped make our offers as competitive as possible and helped us land our dream home. When we finally had an offer accepted, Berkeley was incredibly helpful in ensuring everything was taken care of and that we didn't miss any steps. His guidance through the final stages was especially helpful as first time homebuyers. We would recommend Berkeley to anyone, and will certainly be working with him again next time we're in the market.”

— Matt Fonda

Berkeley made the entire selling process a breeze. He was always available for any questions or concerns I had and was very knowledgeable about the market in my area. He gave several recommendations on list price and other aspects to the selling process, and I trusted his expertise. I couldn't have asked for a smoother experience and would recommend him to anyone!

— Cora Leach

Berkley was responsive and available during the process of both selling our View Ridge home and purchase or our Edmonds condo. Applying his research skills and construction knowledge as a former contractor helped both transactions go smoothly. He worked very hard to make both negotiations successful in a very short period of time.

Buying a Home

Making the decision to buy a home can be a particularly overwhelming experience. There is a lot to learn and even more to consider when making one of the largest financial decisions of your life. Whether you’ve already been browsing the market and have your heart set on a few homes, or you’re someone who is relocating to a new city who wants more details on the area, I take the time to understand the unique circumstances, motivations, and needs of each client with a keen eye for detail and a vast knowledge of the real estate industry.

Selling a Home

Similar to the buying process, selling your home can be equally as taxing. It’s important to outline your plans and your goals when selling your home as well as consider all of the great qualities your property has. From prepping your home for selling, assessing offers, and ensuring you receive the best return on your investment, I’ll be there every step of the way to ensure the process is as seamless as possible and you receive the best desirable outcome.
