To whom it may concern,
Until my wife and I began working with Bernie Kagan, we had no reason to believe that other agents we’d worked with in the past were anything less than excellent. Working with Bernie, however, made us realize the huge difference between your average agent and a true pro.
The bottom line is this: you want Bernie on your side. Period. He blends an astute understanding of all aspects of the real estate market with a personality that is simultaneously affable and driven to serve. He was on the constant lookout for our best interest. He stopped at nothing to get us over every hurdle, tackling the interminable and unenviable details of real estate transactions with remarkable patience, experience, and composure. He was careful to involve us quickly whenever the situation called for it, while saving us time and aggravation by deftly sheltering us from nuances and negotiations that were better served by his expertise.
You would expect to pay a premium for the level of service Bernie provides. But not only does he charge the lowest fees around, my wife and I are convinced he actually saved us money… a lot of money. His expertise in all aspects of transaction negotiation helped forge the amazing deal we got — on the type of property we’d always dreamed about.
We often joked with Bernie about how we surely had to be his only clients because of all the time he spent helping us. But the fact is, we truly felt like it. There was no question that he cared for us as people, not just clients. He is a sincerely good-hearted and friendly man whom I intend to stay friends with long after the last paper is signed.
We have already referred good friends of ours to Bernie. And we urge anyone looking for an absolute top-of-the-line agent to spend a half hour talking to him and see what you’ve been missing.
With gratitude,
Matthew and Karen B.
