'Very Impressive', 'Masterful', 'Immediate' and 'Excellent' are the right words to describe Judy Bernal. She told us at the start that she would work to get the highest possible sale price for our home, and she delivered. Our selling price turned out much higher than we expected. I attribute that to the right preparation (based on her recommendations), excellent advertising, and savvy selling strategy. The escrow process went very smoothly and very fast. All that, and she is a very congenial person, a pleasure to deal with. I very strongly recommend her.

“I cannot imagine finding anyone better!”
Judy exceeded all our expectations, and she did it with patience and grace. Her attention to detail, her knowledge of the real estate market and her advice were spot on. She managed all the preparations necessary to make our property "market ready," and her suggestion to add staging to our condo resulted in a much higher price than anticipated. She is well connected with tradesmen who helped to facilitate the sale, and she managed all of us with aplomb (the floor guy, painter, stager and the two of us, the anxious sellers). I cannot imagine finding anyone better!

“Our perfect home.”
I would recommend Judy to anyone seeking a realtor whether they're buying, selling or both! Not only did she help us on both ends of buying and selling but she was knowledgeable, efficient, responsive and always professional and pleasant. . . . There are so many aspects to buying and selling a property it would be easy to overlook something and get lost. Judy navigated us through the entire process and we arrived safe and sound at our destination...our perfect home. Thank you Judy!

"This is no absentee realtor!"
We have worked with Judy Bernal on the sale of 8 properties. Throughout all of them she has been amazingly professional, available and thoroughly involved. This is no absentee realtor! We have been very, very pleased with her attention to the smallest line-item details. She is always very upbeat and presents options along with any suggestions. Overall, if you want to be pampered by a pro - this is the lady!
— Dorothy B.
Thanks, Judy, for everything from start to finish. There were many moving parts and pieces to this transaction, and you skillfully kept the ship pointed in the right direction throughout! You are a consummate professional, and if possible, I will refer you to my clients, even though I have four other real estate broker friends in the area.

"A conscientious, competent, and experienced realtor.”
Judy Bernal was the listing agent for my mother’s house in Granada Hills. She helped me prepare the house for sale, recommending a number of minor changes that helped maximize the home’s value and appeal. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the entire process as a whole. There were few surprises and I was kept up to date about the progress of our transaction. She always responded quickly to my calls and was on top of all the details involved in the transaction. I found the process very smooth, much more than I had thought. I would highly recommend Judy Bernal as a conscientious, competent, and experienced realtor.

“We knew we were in expert hands right away.”
After our mother's death, Judy Bernal guided us through the difficult and emotionally challenging process of a probate sale. With her sensitivity and professionalism, we knew we were in expert hands right away. Judy has an excellent knowledge of the local market but also recognized the special qualities that made Mom's house unique. She also knew exactly how to market the property to find the right buyer. As a result, we had multiple offers over asking price and sold the house (quickly!) for a higher price than comparable properties in the area. Her advice, guidance, and responsiveness every step of the way was extremely valuable. Judy was a pleasure to work with, and we would recommend her very highly.

“I couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Judy Bernal is very knowledgeable about the Los Angeles area from the Eastside to the Westside, having lived here all of her life. She is especially knowledgeable about South Pasadena and environs, including Eagle Rock and other close by neighborhoods. She is thoroughly professional, helpful, and has a wonderful manner about her: professional, yet kind with a good sense of humor. When she helped us find our home in South Pasadena in 1993, we had a completely positive experience. I couldn’t recommend her more as a reliable, dependable, responsible agent with expertise in all areas of real estate and someone who is easy to work with.”
— Laurie H.
"Such a great experience!”
"Judy is a fantastic real estate agent. She was patient with me and flexible with me as I learned and changed my mind about details in my home buy. She knows all the ins-and-outs of the real estate process, so that is something I did not have to worry about at all. Most importantly, she was assertive on my behalf in every negotiation. Judy's experience made a huge difference because she knew what to look out for and if there were issues, she had options to mitigate them and make everything come out right! Such a great experience!”
— Barbara K.
"Highly professional and yet so personable"
I highly recommend Judy Bernal who represented us in the successful sale of our home in South Pasadena. Bottom line, Judy marketed the sale of our home achieving five legitimate offers well over asking price and negotiated a final offer higher than our most desired expectation. Highly professional and yet so personable, Judy Bernal provided us wonderful representation with tenacity and exemplary leadership.
— Alan H.
I deal with a LOT of real estate agents in my line of work as well as my personal dealings. I have found Judy to be experienced, honest, and a savvy negotiator. She is easy to work with and I think she really knows the market.

"She went above & beyond"
I don't normally write reviews but I had to share how great a pleasure it was having Judy Bernal as my realtor. I first met Judy at one of her open house on a weekend back in summer of 2013. She was more than happy & energetic talking with me about the local real estate, even though the open house wasn’t what I was looking for, she kept in touch with me informing me of other properties that could fit my search. Over the next couple of months she was extremely helpful in scheduling viewings of homes, submitting offers and calling or emailing me back. It was surprisingly refreshing to have a realtor who was aggressive, straightforward, and a wealth of information; plus good advice throughout the process. Never once did I feel she was leading or being pushy, she truly was looking for the perfect fit for me. And as the months past, Judy remained positive in finding the right home for me. She continued to kept me updated on new homes and the markets. Even brave enough to scout other homes in questionable neighborhoods. All in all, she was upbeat and happy to help me find the right home. And in early 2014 she found the house that finally hit all the marks. She helped me stay on top of deadlines and guided me through the closing of escrow. She went above & beyond any other realtor I have ever met. And there would be no way in the world I could have found or finished closing on a wonderful new home without Judy.
