We cannot say enough about how great Bjorn Berg has been helping us find our new home. We searched for well over a year, made several bids, got outbid several times and Bjorn patiently worked with us during this historically competitive time. He did an amazing job guiding us through this stressful and challenging market, helped us achieve our goal and again, we can?t say enough about how incredibly helpful, knowledgable and positive he was through the whole thing. Highest possible recommendation.

Bjorn did an excellent job representing us with the sale of our Aptos home. We engaged him very early in the process and he provided us invaluable tips to insure our home was ready to list and maximize the market value. He did this through the following techniques. First, he was a good listener, he really wanted to understand why we wanted to sell our home and got to know our family and home history. Second, he developed a strong marketing campaign. He had excellent ideas on how to bring the value out, including staging ideas, marketing brochures, video tips, ideas on fixing up the property, all great suggestions to insure that home was ready to list. Third, he had a great plan on when to put the home on the market to insure we had good timing. Finally, his negotiation skills were excellent, although the market ultimately determined the final price of the home, he ensured our expectations were aligned with reality and strove to achieve a good value on our selling price to insure we were satisfied. Not only was he responsive, but his entire team was behind his every move to insure we were well supported with every action required to sell our home. Ive dealt with multiple real estate firms and agents over the years, but I have to say that this experience was by far my best ever. They took it to the next level and exceeded our expectations for the whole process from start to finish. Excellent job !!

Bjorn was our agent on a 2nd home purchase on the Aptos area. Bjorn did an outstanding job through out the process. Bjorn?s key strengths include (1) extremely responsive to text emails (2) very good knowledge of the Santa Cruz market (3) knows how to listen and provide thoughtful input eg alternative houses, areas (4) good negotiator - some small suggestions on the offer helped us close our deal against three other bidders (5) was supported by a good back office team who were very coordinated. Overall very good experience and highly recommend Bjorn for the Santa Cruz county market.

Bjorn helped my wife and I find the perfect starter home in the ridiculous real estate market of Santa Cruz. We started as dreamers with Bjorn, and then a few months later ended up being first time home owners! We did NOT expect to buy a home this quickly-- to be honest we are still in a bit of shock that we did! Bjorn was wonderful at listening to the various anxieties that bubbled up as we waded through the process of purchasing a home, all while we chased after our toddler on showings, and during phone calls. He always took the time to listen to what we really wanted and needed, and clarify any questions, however big or small we had about the very overwhelming process of purchasing a home. Bjorn made sure to follow up with us and remind us of things we needed to do to close, paperwork we needed to submit, etc. That was very helpful as we both work full time and needed those reminders. Bjorn is very responsive via text and phone (even when he went off on vacation he checked in with us!) He also helped us get established with a very helpful lender, home inspection service, and was able to help us get any extra help we need. Bjorn offered to show us properties multiple times to help us make up our mind, and was super patient throughout the process as we teetered back and forth about what we wanted, and where we wanted to be. Choose this guy! He will listen to you, laugh with you, and put your family first to find the perfect nest.

Bjorn was extremely helpful to my wife and me in purchasing the first and only home on which we made an offer. His knowledge helped us to get our offer accepted over other competing offers. Bjorn was very responsive. He returned text, phone and email messages immediately. Being first time home buyers we needed someone with expertise to guide us through the process. Bjorn and his associate were able to answer all of our questions. Bjorn negotiated a rent back agreement with the sellers that provided us with extra revenue after closing. I highly recommend Bjorn to help with purchasing a home.

Super reliable and knowledgeable. Bjorn helped us buy a house in San Leandro. He would respond quickly to our questions and was always available to help us see new listings.

If youre looking for someone who is knowledgeable, active and genuinely cares, Bjorn is the agent for you. I was a first time home buyer and he could not have made the process any easier. Anytime I was confused or hesitant on something, he explained it to me and made sure I understood before deciding. One of the things I really appreciated from Bjorn, was how fast he was with his communication. Anytime I had a question or concern with closing, he was right there. He showed us a great property and we cant thank him enough. I was recommended Bjorn and I have to say, I got really lucky.

We found Bjorn to be an excellent choice as our Realtor. Not only did we have a great success with purchasing our new home, but also in selling our former home. His negotiation skills are finely honed and, when mixed with his awareness of the market landscape, gave us the competitive edge we needed. Bjorn stepped in to our new home purchase as our agent with very little lead time and was able to give insightful advice on purchase terms to make our offer very appealing to the seller and help save us money at the same time. In a very competitive sellers market, we were able to purchase the home we wanted in a highly desirable neighborhood. Bjorns instincts are spot on! After the successful purchase of our new home, the next steps were to begin to prepare to sell our former home. We knew that we wanted to have Bjorn, with his real estate savvy, represent us as our Realtor. Bjorn put together a comprehensive marketing strategy which included a professional home design review complete with implementation suggestions. Bjorn helped us choose those suggestions that would have the most impact. Our home was then professionally and beautifully staged. The marketing of our home was next level -- it included a narrated action video bringing the most exciting parts of our home to life! The professional photography was very artistic and highlighted key aspects of our interior and exterior features. The marketing material was provided to the top online internet real estate sites as well as local listings to make our home easy to find for potential buyers. Bjorn was always there with quick, sound, and creative responses to our requests for advice as we hit bumps in the road during our homes market preparation process. Bjorn was able to use his expert negotiating skills during the offer acceptance process as our home eventually sold for a record price per square foot in our neighborhood, much higher than the listing price. We highly recommend Bjorn to be your realtor to help make your purchase or sale of your next home a success!

As a complete beginner to home ownership when first introduced to Bjorn, I was very impressed and appreciative of how knowledgeable and easy he made it for us to learn the ropes and eventually purchase a home. We worked with Bjorn for about a year, and he was consistently available, flexible, and made sure that all the gaps in our knowledge about the processes, local trends/practices, and requirements were filled in so that we had all the resources needed to make the right decisions for us. On top of that, he is likeable, even keel, and fun to be around, which always makes what can be a stressful process more enjoyable. Would highly recommend, and hope to see you around some more Bjorn!
