A higher level of service than you have ever experienced

In many cases, we work independently, each of us working with our own buyers and sellers. For buyers and sellers in Gale Ranch and The Bridges, we have joined forces so that we can provide you a higher level of service than you have ever experienced. We know what it takes to sell your home for the right price in today's challenging real estate market and we will make sure that you get the results you need.

Over 25 years combined experience in real estate

Michelle has spent over 20 years helping people to buy and sell homes all over the San Ramon Valley, while Bernard has specialized in San Ramon since entering the business in 2001. Our experience and knowledge of this area is invaluable.

Negotiating skills that are legendary

Marketing your home across the country and beyond

Bernard comes from a technology and marketing background. He is an e-PRO Certified Internet Expert and he makes extensive use of technology, with a strong focus on the Internet, to ensure that his sellers' homes achieve the maximum exposure to potential buyers, not only locally but across the country and beyond. Many people who buy homes here are transferees from around the country and even around the world. Only with a sound Internet based marketing strategy can you hope to reach these potential buyers when you have a home for sale in Gale Ranch or The Bridges.

Managing the preparation and staging of your home

Bernard's wife, and Michelle's mother, Sylvia (pictured right) is also a licensed Realtor. She is the third member of the team. Sylvia has a background in art and interior design and she manages the preparation of your home when Michelle and Bernard list it for sale. She liaises with contractors and other support people as appropriate and ensures that your home is staged and shown at its best from the first day it goes on the market.

Ensuring that every document is accurately completed

The fourth member of our team is Denise Lema, our transaction manager. California is such a litigious state and there is so much money involved in real estate here that it is essential to have a full time professional transaction manager to ensuring that every document is accurately completed, every i dotted and t crossed, from the point that a sale is agreed up until close of escrow. Denise has many years experience in transaction management and a reputation that is second to none.

You gain a decided advantage over other Gale Ranch buyers and sellers

Between us, we have a set of skills that sets us apart from the rest. This, combined with the backing of J Rockcliff Realtors, one of the largest and most prestigious real estate firms in the Bay Area, ensures that you gain a decided advantage over other Gale Ranch buyers and sellers.
