Chris Latham and Karol Halter "We recently purchased our first home, which everyone said was a long, confusing process. Using Bernice Schaffer as our realtor, it was far simpler than we ever imagined. She asked us what we were looking for in a house and then showed us homes that met our criteria. As we looked through these homes with her, she was able to point out important details that would affect the resale value of the home. She was in constant communication with us and with the seller throughout the entire purchasing process. She promptly took care of the paperwork and numerous contracts that come with buying a house. We would recommend Bernice Schaffer to anyone interested in buying or selling a home."

Kenneth Hoppe & Jodie Gladin "Bernice was referred to me as a Realtor through USAA Movers Advantage when I was looking to relocate from the northeast and purchase a home in the area of Austin/Cedar Park, Texas. From the initial phone conversation, I felt I had found a professional of high standards. Bernice was very personable, interviewed me and helped me interview her to determine that we were on the same page about the type of neighborhood, home and Realtor that would meet my needs. "What is it that is important to you in a Realtor?" was one of her first questions. Very refreshing!
I am in a high technology, detail oriented profession and was very impressed with Bernice. Unlike many Realtors I have worked with, Bernice used the internet to provide me with focused and up-to-date search results of the houses for sale in the area I was looking in. The email updates of my personal web page of houses coming on the market and leaving the market, allowed me and my family to pre-view a large number of houses and then select the ones we wanted to visit. This allowed us to focus our time and effort when we did go see the houses. Her knowledge of the region, the builders, and the changing market helped me immensely in relocating my family.
Bernice kept in contact over my long relocation period, was very perceptive to my concerns and helped guide me to the house that my family has now made a home that we are very happy with in all aspects. I have purchased several houses in many states over the years and Bernice is by far the best Realtor I have worked with. I will never tire of saying "Thanks Bernice"!

Jim & Mary Ann Lynch "Jim and I want to thank you personally for your kind attention to us during our recent move. We wanted to move closer to our daughter and her family, but had qualms about such a major undertaking as selling our home and buying another. We feel fortunate that you are the realtor we chose to work with. From the beginning we felt confident because of your genuine interest and concern in our endeavor and your proficiency in the business of real estate. Not only did you help us find the right home in the right location, but you successfully marketed and sold our previous home during a time of slow real estate sales. Your artistic ability was evident in how beautifully you displayed our home.
Because of your professionalism and your attention to detail, the transactions of buying and selling were trouble-free for us. Your communication at every stage of the process was important to us. We could contact you at any time and you provided us with constant updates, through email and telephone. You even provided helpful references for other services whenever we needed them.
While we are happy and satisfied to have closed on our previous home and to be settled in our new home, we shall miss your friendly voice and frequent communications. Thank you, Bernice, for working so hard for us and for your genuine, personal attention. We wish you the best. You can be sure that if we hear of anyone who intends to buy or sell a home, you will be highly recommended."

Mike & Robin Ricci "Just a quick note to tell you how appreciative we are of the professional job you've done in selling our house. After having listed it with 2 other realtors and had no offers, (plus having to do much of the legwork ourselves), we definitely know that you made a huge difference!!! The pictures you took couldn't have looked better! (Especially since we had our dates mixed up and were out of town, you had to pretty-much clean the whole house before taking pics!) You have been so easy going, easy to contact, easy to work with, and kept us up to date on every pertinent item. I have told so many people that our house was only listed for 2 weeks before we had a contract and people are amazed! I will continue to recommend you to friends and family.
Again, thank you and best wishes in all your endeavors!"

Steve Freeman & Pamela Sachant "We most highly recommend Bernice Schaffer as a realtor. We listed our home at 15812 Pumpkin Ridge Drive, Austin, TX 78717 with Ms. Schaffer on 28 September 2005. We received an offer six weeks later, on 11 November, and completed the sale on 20 December. She handled all matters of listing and marketing, negotiating with prospective buyers and their realtors, and handling the paperwork and other arrangements for the closing of our home with the greatest efficiency, outstanding proficiency, and most exacting professionalism. Moreover, Ms. Schaffer is a warm and engaging individual who listened to our concerns and answered our questions with unflaggering patience and promptness. It was a pleasure doing business with her, we would be pleased to work with her again in the future, and we heartily recommend her to other buyers and sellers of property in the Austin area."

James Shewbert & Marcus Hilliard "Marcus and I wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for your excellent work in selling our home this spring. We have bought and sold several houses over the years, and you are by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. Your attention to detail, knowledge of the market, and ability to foresee and avoid problems are but a few of your many qualities. As you know, we received the first offer for our home a mere 13 days after you listed it, and within 2 days we had a firm contract. The only explanation that we have for such a quick sale is that, as I told you many times, you truly are our “Real Estate Rockstar!” We are pleased to recommend you professionally, and proud to call you our friend. If we may be of assistance to you or your clients at any time in the future, please feel free to contact us. Thank you again for your excellent work!"

German Rivera & Valentina Gomez "We highly recommend Mrs. Bernice Schaffer as a real estate agent. She did a fantastic job to help us buy our home in Austin. Thanks to her knowledge of the Austin real estate market, her experience as a realtor, and her dedication to her clients, we were able to find the house that best matched our needs and preferences in less than two weeks. This is even more remarkable considering that we were new to the Austin area and we were first-time home buyers. Bernice also made our entire house-buying experience completely hassle-free. We honestly believe that Bernice is the best real estate agent we could have had."
