"I thought about buying a house for many years but didn’t pursue - until Rick explained the financial advantages and tax benefits I’d gain with homeownership. He introduced me to Kim who is a dynamo! She got to work locating a property in an affordable area that fit my budget. Together, they worked diligently to make the overwhelming home buying process less intimidating, keeping in constant communication explaining each step of the way. The feeling of satisfaction I felt after writing my first mortgage check, and investing in my own financial future was amazing. I feel that I owe it all to Rick and Kim’s expertise. Had they not shown me how I could make this dream come true, I would not realize I could do it. At first, I didn’t realize the synergistic value of having two people working together in my best interest, available at any time, providing insights that I would never have thought of. But now, I can easily imagine how much more difficult the process would have been. I’m so thankful to have had such a positive home buying experience." -- Robert Ornelus

"Our experience with Rick Bernard as our realtor has been a wonderful one, from beginning to end. It was pure good luck to have met Kim O'Neill and Rick at an open house at the very start of our house hunting journey. We were taken by the calm, caring nature they displayed. Never pushy, always wanting to understand and help with our goals. We were very specific, (some would say "picky") about what we were looking for. Even after viewing many prospective properties, Rick never once showed impatience. He also honored the price we were willing to spend, and never tried to push it up. When the one we'd been searching for finally came along, it was priced well over our limit. Rick's excellent negotiating skills enabled us to acquire the perfect home, at our price. Huge thanks to Rick and Kim, a wonderful team! They made our home buying experience great!" -- Neil, Cindy and Emily Farris

"I met Kim when I was a volunteer in her department where she was the Occupational Medicine Supervisor. I learned so much from her, both in the workplace and in life. Kim became a friend and mentor, and I am grateful to have her in my life. As a physical therapist, she provided the best service and her energy was unmatched. Kim communicated with her patients to provide the best care, which in turn allowed them to fully put their trust in her. As a Realtor, those traits would be invaluable to any home buyer. Kim would do everything she can to help you and make your dreams come true! She will be open and honest through all communications and negotiate in your best interests. I highly recommend her to be your agent in this next journey of your life" -- Amy N

"Rick and I have been friends and colleagues for the past twenty-five years. In our earlier years, we worked together as health professionals in a clinic in Willow Glen. Our years together gave me ample opportunity to get to know him and his character. He has always been caring and understanding with all the clients he has worked with. Of the many adjectives that I would use to describe him—honesty, integrity, intelligence, empathy and a strong work ethic would be on the top of the list. I don’t think I’ve every heard a derogatory remark about Rick. He is a gem and we all wish him the best in his new career" -- Graeme Shaw
