    "His promptness was impeccable."
    Bernie Goodman is by far an excellent realtor. From start to finish he was extremely knowledgeable and confident. He was available 24/7. He always responded back to my emails and text messages promptly. He knew exactly what was needed to sell my home. He made sure that I had very little to do- he took care of everything!He got the quotes needed for repairs and improvements. Compass allows you to let them pay for all needed improvements and the amount is deducted from the sale of the house. No money is needed up front from the seller. Bernie is very professional. Once the home was listed, he informed me of all viewings, offers and made suggestions that only a broker would have knowledge about. He always made sure I understood everything! He always sent documents to me to sign instead of me having to leave my house for any inconvenience. His promptness was impeccable. It was always very clear to me that Bernie had my best interest before anything.

    "We are proud to have been among Bernie's first clients"
    We are proud to have been among Bernie's first clients, and we had an amazing experience with him! After scouring the market for a couple of months on our own, we enlisted Bernie's help. He located our home just hours after it came on the market, and because he took us there immediately and advised us about the home's value,we had a jump before many other potential buyers. He helped us place an offer before any other potential buyers had a chance, and we were lucky enough to have it accepted immediately. We found out later that many other people wanted our home, but their agents did not act quickly enough or have adequate expertise to navigate the process effectively. We have his knowledge and efficiency to thank for helping us buy our dream home!

    "I highly recommend Bernie"
    Bernie was referred to us through our local realtor in Saint Louis. Our daughter was graduating from college and starting her career in Indianapolis. We had no knowledge of the area or where to start our search. Bernie was so accommodating; he is familiar with the entire greater Indianapolis areaand helped us determine the best areas to look. He was always readily available; my preferred method of communication was texting and he would promptly return my many texted questions. Of course, a home came on the market when he was out of town with his family but he took my text SOS and arranged for an associate to show us the home that day. He walked us through every step from writing the contract to closing day and then sent us recommendations for a lawn service! He even offered to leave a lock box on the door and ran over to put a few Amazon deliveries in the house for us. I believe we have a new friend in Bernie and I think our daughter could reach out to him if she needed something and he wouldn’t hesitate to help her. I highly recommend Bernie to represent a buyer or a seller!

    "He would respond within minutes, not hours"
    Bernie assisted us with the sale of our previous home as well as the purchase of our current home. When you engage any realtor, the baseline expectation is that you are working with someone that understands current market pricing and deal terms in order to get the most value out of a home purchase/sale.Bernie delivers on this – no question. What you might not expect or consider when engaging a realtor, is accessibility. We were selling and purchasing in a very hot market and Bernie made it a point to always be accessible, day or night. He would respond within minutes, not hours. This made a huge difference in a super competitive market where as a buyer/seller we needed his advice in real time. This gave us a leg-up on the competition and, ultimately, resulted in us selling our previous home for above asking and purchasing our dream home at below asking.

    Working with Bernie is always a joy. He knows his community better than anyone and works tirelessly to find the home that is right for you.

    "Bernie was always one call away!"
    Bernie made the buying and selling experience as easy and stress-free as possible. Being parents of 3 and working full time, it was tough to see how we would have the time to sell and buy a new home. Bernie was always one call away, doing as little or as much as we needed him to do,which truly made the experience a smooth process. His expertise and work ethic are second to none. I will never use anybody else for my real estate needs!

    "He truly does go above and beyond and he knows the market."
    After working with Bernie it is evident that Bernie is not driven by transactions, but driven by providing the best service for his clients. Bernie helped me sell my last two rental duplexes as our company shifted gears to a different business model. He not only helped maximize the value of our properties,he also coordinated repairs with contractors that needed to be completed before closing. This was not an easy task due to the number of units and tenants we were dealing with. I would recommend Bernie to help anyone from selling or buying a home to the complexities of buying and selling investment properties. He truly does go above and beyond and he knows the market.

    "We are so thankful for Bernie and our beautiful home!"
    Bernie was extremely helpful in guiding us to exactly what we wanted in a house. We originally thought we wanted a fixer-upper. Thanks to Bernie being a great listener, he guided us to a house with more minor updates within our budget. We are so thankful for Bernie and our beautiful home.

    "I would certainly recommend Bernie Goodman!"
    The choice of a realtor is an important decision. I chose Bernie Goodman due to his significant knowledge of Hamilton County, specifically Westfield as well as his extensive knowledge of Estridge Homes. Bernie’s relationships with the builder was very evident from the beginning of my search in the Harmony sub-division.Estridge was very accommodating and provided all the information that I needed to make an informed decision. During the inspection, Bernie was very involved and helped with several of the important items prior to closing. If want someone knowledgeable that will be your advocate through the entire buying or selling process, I would certainly recommend Bernie Goodman.”

    "You will feel 100% taken care of. He's the BEST!"
    There are typical realtors and then there's Bernie. We've worked with several realtors before meeting Bernie and none compare to him - not even close. He's truly gifted at what he does - and he cares about the client, making sure that your buying or selling experience feels personal and catered to you.He's incredibly trustworthy, helpful, reliable, savvy, and knowledgeable. We loved that he not only answered ALL our questions but he brought up things during our buying / selling processes that we didn't even think of. We've referred him to several family members and friends and we all consider ourselves very lucky to have found him. I could go on forever but if you have the chance to work with Bernie, know that you will feel 100% taken care of. He's the BEST

    "We are forever blessed by that chance meeting with a guy who was just “filling in”!”"
    Our lackadaisical process of looking here and there was inconsistent at best and not successful. We often found a random internet realtor throughout our search, but none stuck around. Then one afternoon, we drove into a nearby neighborhood and happened upon a house with a good location and inside our school district,but a strange floor plan and out of our budget. The bright spot was the person who was showing the house for a teammate. The realtor was Bernie Goodman. We immediately hit it off and while my husband and I mindlessly shared what we liked and didn’t like about this house, Bernie was listening and taking mental notes. I honestly cannot tell you how many houses we saw after that day with Bernie, but each one had specific items that Bernie knew we wanted. To this day, I remember pulling up to the address of a “nothing special” house and going inside the front door. The house was staged, but with outdated paint and not in our style, but we could see more. Amenities we didn’t even know we wanted, but Bernie drew our attention to included the heavy woods that surrounded each cul-de-sac; being the last cul-de-sac in the back of a small custom built neighborhood; and people who would soon become some of our closest friends. Bernie was instrumental in working with us to create a plan to sell our first home - from updating, to fixing things, to staging - he gave us a timeline. Our home sold in less than 5 hours which allowed us to call the home he helped us find “our forever home”. And our family grew to include Bernie’s. We are forever blessed by that chance meeting with a guy who was just “filling in”!”

    "Bernie's energy, focus, professionalism, and kindness all make him an ideal agent."
    I can't say enough about the great experience we had with Bernie as our buyer's agent last spring. My husband and I are moving to the Indianapolis area from out of state and we needed someone who could be our eyes and ears during the mad real estate rush of 2022.We worried that we couldn't get to see a potential property fast enough to have a chance of getting the house. Bernie was willing to take me on FaceTime tours of properties, was knowledgeable about the land and the dwellings in each neighborhood, and brought to my attention any property he thought might possibly fit the bill. He actually convinced the seller's agent to extend the window of opportunity to buyers, saying his clients were driving down from out of state just to see the house but couldn't get there until the weekend. Then he counseled us well on our offer and we got the house! After the accepted offer, Bernie continued to be of incredible service, from reviewing the inspection report, to scheduling professionals to quote repair estimates, delivering keys, arranging for a remote title closing in our home in Wisconsin, and more. Whenever we had a question, Bernie had the answer and was always one step ahead of anything we needed to feel comfortable buying a house from another state. Bernie's energy, focus, professionalism, and kindness all make him an ideal agent.

    "He is a pleasure to work with and a real professional!"
    When my 92-year-old mother-in-law decided to relocate from Ohio to Indianapolis to be near us, she was still very capable of living independently and preferred to still own her own home. Finding one close to us, affordable, and appropriate for her needs was a challenge.We met Bernie Goodman because he had recently helped our daughter find a new home when she and her family relocated from Chicago. My wife and I will be forever grateful to Bernie for his help in finding the perfect home for my wife’s mother. We especially appreciate his patience in dealing with our somewhat unique situation and his perseverance in making the deal work. We have no reservations in recommending his services for anyone. He is a pleasure to work with and a real professional.
