ROYAL LEPAGE SIGNATURE REALTY, Brokerage - Gerard (Gerry) Bergin

When I approached Gerry to help me sell my house AND buy a new house, I was so nervous about even considering a move ~ since I had lived at the same address for over 24 years, with lots of history and emotion attached. It had been my parent’s house, I got married while living in that house, then I raised my children in that house, then I was separated and then finally had went through a painful divorce in that house... WOW, so much to let go of! Plus, consider the years of clutter that accumulated in that home! What was even more concerning though was how much work the house really needed… it wasn’t exactly "move in ready" for new buyers. Gerry gave me the support I needed, as I had a tight timeline to avoid mortgage penalty fees. Within two days of our first meeting, I was already visiting houses, while packing up half my belongings for the photographer that Gerry hired to help properly display my house online. Gerry sold my house in just 12 days for over 112% of my asking price! Buying a house in the sellers’ market in July 2020 was very challenging, as I had a low budget and high expectations (single dwelling, 4 bedrooms, move-in condition). Yet, just 5 weeks from our first meeting, we firmed up a deal for a house at 6% less than asking price!!! Gerry fought for me every step of the way and his attention to detail was rather stellar! He really had my back. It made me feel so much more confident in my decision-making, and it was his patience that made all the difference. Gerry explained and taught me the process, as we walked through every single step of that crazy journey together... Buying and Selling a house in 5 weeks! WOW! I think we should write a book! I highly recommend Gerry Bergin to be your realtor, for any move you plan on doing, throughout Ontario!
