Testimonials

Dear Jim,

I would like to take this opportunity to relay my gratitude on the superb job that you did on the listing and sale of our Scripps Ranch home on Rue Fontenay. This is the third transaction that Melinda and I have worked with you on and have been pleased each time.

Your worth as a true professional has always been apparent, starting with the preparation of the home before it is listed, the negotiation process and all the way through the post closing details. Your keen sense of the market allowed us to sign an agreement within two days of the listing being announced. I would also like to mention that each of the members of your marketing team were extremely professional and helpful as well.

As a California real estate broker myself, I specialize in commercial properties. I am thankful that when Melinda and I decided to sell our home, we turned to the expert - Jim Berns.

Gratefully Yours,
John Keba




Dale,

Nice talking with you. As mentioned, I have nothing but high praise for Jim Berns. He’ll do a great job to meet your needs. Your situation is almost identical to ours.

Given the many challenges of buying/selling properties, relocating family and personal effects while concurrently keeping the job on track, one could become overwhelmed with the entire process. Of all the challenges, the one stage of our transition to the northwest that was flawless in execution was the sale of our Scripps home. That happened because of Jim Berns. Again, I've got nothing but high praise for the manner in which he supported the Serhans. He is a true professional who is totally committed to providing his clients with precision in overseeing every aspect the sales process.

That was my experience with Jim . Early on in our discussions he mentioned that a true measure of his success in supporting our needs was the fact that when the sale was complete that he ended up on our Christmas list. Suffice it to say, Jim Berns has been added to our list and he’ll remain there. This year the Serhans needed a real estate agent, found Jim Berns, and in the process gained a friend.

Dear Jim,

I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did in selling my home. You mad the sale swift and smooth. The days between agreement and closing are nerve wracking days. I very much appreciated your competent handling of the various portions leading to closing. Everything was expedited smoothly and you gave very good advice along the way.

As I requested at the outset, we had good communications to and from me and I very much appreciated the assistance of Janiece Haney, your very competent and delightful assistant. Please give her my special thanks.

Certainly your correct pricing of the house added to the swiftness of the sale. I never dreamed that there would be such a short time between listing and agreement.

All in all, a fine job, Jim. It made my leaving San Diego that much less traumatic for me.

"Kasey and I have been real estate developers and investors for many years, so we have worked with many real estate agents. When it came time to sell our personal home in Scripps Ranch we interviewed several agents. We chose Jim because he had a plan which we believed would get us the highest price for our home.

Jim's follow-up was great and we ended up receiving the highest price per square foot ever paid for a home in Chantemar. We strongly recommend Jim Berns for someone looking to sell their home. We only wish we could have Jim sell our new homes in Arizona!"

"Jim guided us through a complicated sale of our lot at a very difficult time in our lives (after the Cedar fire.) He was extremely patient, professional and effective.

He was able to structure our sale so that we were well protected and, even after the sale, he was there to help us with our questions and concerns when our buyer wanted us to subordinate the loan we were carrying. Our family whole-heartedly recommends Jim as the only Realtor to use in Scripps Ranch."

Sincerely,
Rick & Christine Griencewic
