Retired
Bernard has been the one and only realtor we worked with while living in California. He helped find our dream home when we moved to Cali and he then helped us sell it when we left. He knows what he is doing and will put the extra effort out to ensure you get what you are looking for - either buying or selling. Cannot say enough good things about him as both a realtor and a friend. Definitely in our case was much more than just our realtor - which he brings to all of his customers from my perspective. A great guy and someone who will work hard for you. Thanks Bernard!
Happily retired
When we first met Bernard when he was showing a local open house we knew he would be the agent we wanted to sell our home. Throughout the sale process he was extremely helpful, approachable and communicative. We always felt he had our interests as his primary concern. He found great people to help us get the house ready for sale and offered good, balanced advice on what we really needed to do.
Bernard is personable and friendly. We actually had several fun evenings and a round of golf with him which helped ease the tensions of selling our home (don’t bet against him on a golf course, he is good!).
We would wholeheartedly recommend Bernard as a real estate agent, and general good guy.

I had the pleasure to work with Bernard over the course of 3 month on buying a new house for myself. This process is not easy as my last house purchase was over 20 years ago. Bernard was exceptional: he knew how to handle me as his client and adapted to all my needs. He carefully worked with me through the process and explained all the steps required. He did not want to push any house on me, he learned what I was looking for and took his time to ensure that I was truly happy with the purchase, even if it took him to make multiple house searching trips with me. He helped negotiate a good price and then the closing process with lots of paperwork including house appraisals etc. started. I felt like he was buying his own house! Thorough, and he helped me to remember everything even if I missed something.
There is nothing I could think of which requires improvement. Any potential house buyer will be in good and trusted hands with Bernard, I will send any of my friends looking for a home his way and can only put my hands down for all he did for me. Thanks for not only being a realtor but taking care of my needs like a friend. Sorry there were not 6 stars I could give you so it had to be only 5 as a best available rating ;-) Thanks Bernard!
Buyer / Seller in Morgan Hill
Bernard is a straight-talking, honest Agent that we've had the honor of partnering with on two home sales/purchases now. He listens well (to my crazy woes) and is patient with the end-to-end process. No doubt, we would recommend him to others.
Bernard Galvan did an excellent job selling our home. He helped guide us through every aspect of the sale, from prepping the home to dealing with all of the paperwork, and everything else in between. Bernard made the entire process virtually stress-free, and we were so thankful for that. Furthermore, his exceptional marketing and salesmanship ultimately paid huge dividends for us as our home sold in less than one week at far above our original asking price.

In sum, all of our expectations of Bernard and the sale of our home were not only met, but far, far exceeded. Thank you, Bernard! So if you are seeking the consummate professional realtor to help you sell your home, we enthusiastically recommend Bernard Galvan.

Well done
Bernard has been an incredibly talented realtor, and gifted and resourceful mortgage broker for us for over 18 years. He's a pure professional and a lot of fun to work with! We trust him completely and he has always delivered over and above what we've expected. We couldn't imagine working with anyone else!
Homeowner
Bernard was highly recommended to us through a mutual friend when we decided it was time to sell our home in San Jose. Our prior experience with another realtor had been a very unfortunate one so when we called him and he replied so quickly, I was surprised by it. Right from the very beginning, he took great care of us every step of the selling process. He was responsive, attentive and very patient with us and we know it wasn't always easy to be. On our first meeting, he came over and lined out his simple plan for selling our home and it seemed to good to be true, mostly because it required very little effort or inconvenience on our part. And he made good on all of it; he got us a great offer, after a short period of time on the market and he kept us updated on everything as it progressed. When there were a few bumps in the final stages, he took care of everything for us and kept telling us not to worry, it would all work out, and it did and he made it look easy. He never lost his positive attitude or personal touch. We will happily refer him to anyone looking for a good realtor and a nice guy. (Thanks again Bernard!)
Managing Partner
It was great working with Bernard - he is an expert in his field, very patient, affable and very prompt with communication (emails/calls/text). He is really good at determining the market prices and trends.

Bernard was able to help us identify the areas within Willow Glen which would work best for us based on our family size, budget and our likes/dislikes. Before meeting Bernard we were quite lost trying to work with another agent.

Bernard is extremely patient and never ever pushed us to make a decision we were not sure of. He was always on top of things.

Thanks Bernard for finding us our dream house.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for an honest, friendly and knowledgeable realtor.

Bernard was an absolute pleasure to work with. We weren't the easiest of clients as we were extremely picky and finicky about the smallest of details. This did not help matters in the current sellers' market and had us house-hunting for almost 6 months. But Bernard was patient throughout our search and especially even when we changed our mind about things, putting him in a difficult spot.

He sent us regular updates of homes in the area that we were searching and provided insight & guidance on them & the neighborhood. We valued his opinion very much and over time, came to rely on his judgement especially regarding pricing and offer strategy. This was invaluable considering that there were multiple offers on the homes we liked.

We finally found the home we were dreaming of with his help and guidance; he also helped us negotiate the right price with the seller. Given his affable personality and in-depth knowledge of the housing market, we would highly recommend him to all our friends & family as the best possible partner for their future house hunts.
Bernard, has the patience of an angel. We were very undecided in terms of what we were looking for and the price point to consider. Bernard kept looking and suggesting options to try and find something for us. After looking at what seemed like a 100 plus houses we did find several options. Unfortunately we were not able to outbid some of the folks out there buying houses at the time. But when we did find the perfect house he provided absolutely excellent support to us in getting all the legal aspects settled. Has done a great job for us and really enjoyed working with him. Definitely would donor again.
Bernard was excellent to work with.
He helped through the whole process of
Financing, selling, and buying a home.
Bernard is a one stop shop.
Thank you Bernard for all your help and
Guidance through the stress of buying a home .
