Making your Real Estate dreams a reality

Meet Bernadette

Born and raised in and around Ottawa, Bernadette has deep roots in both the city and the Ottawa Valley. While she eventually found her way to the countryside, drawn to the space and lifestyle it offers, she has remained strongly connected to Ottawa’s urban market and professional community. Her network and experience span both worlds, which is a true advantage for clients navigating between them.

Since becoming a REALTOR® in 2011, Bernadette has worked with a wide range of properties, from downtown condos and suburban family homes to multi-family investments, farms, cottages, acreage, estate sales, and power-of-sale properties. She understands that real estate is never one size fits all, because life isn’t either. Her thoughtful, detail-oriented approach and genuinely being able to reach her, makes all the difference for her clients. She takes time to understand not just what her clients are buying or selling, but why - helping them make decisions that align with their long term goals and lifestyle.

With strong negotiation skills, ongoing market education, and a calm, informed presence, Bernadette focuses on protecting her clients’ interests and guiding them with clarity and confidence, no pressure, no noise. 

Wherever you’re headed...city, country, or somewhere in between, Bernadette remains a steady, knowledgeable advocate in your corner from start to finish.

Keith & Katie

Bernadette is wonderful to deal with. She got us in to see each house we wanted to see, showing us homes that were hours away from each other and always did it with a smile on her face – she never made us feel like we were bothering her. As first time home buyers we had lots of questions. Bernadette was very knowledgeable and honest. She also responded to our calls and emails within minutes and when it was time to buy, she negotiated hard for us and got us a great deal.

Natalie & Sean

She is fun to work with, energized and friendly. She knows what she is talking about, finds the answer to any question. She is very resourceful, and has great referrals. I would recommend to friends and family.

Sophie & Derrick

Purchasing our home wasn’t the ideal first purchase we all imagined. We had to compete with other offers and had a 2 hour window to do so. But Bernadette was AMAZING. Derrick and I were in love with this house but extremely nervous. Bernadette made us feel comfortable with no pressure added…Throughout the entire process, from searching to purchasing, Bernadette remained very reachable. We received constant updates on new property listings and she responded to all of our questions, by e-mail, phone and text messages…It was like buying with the help of a good friend!

Jaime & Aaron

Bernadette, you were amazing! You were always immediately available, very knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely recommend you to others and look forward to continuing work with you.

Courtney & John

Bernadette was very professional. She explained everything as we went along which was very helpful, as we were first time home buyers. She was able to negotiate for the house we wanted, in the location we wanted within our budget. Working with Bernadette was a very pleasant experience. I would recommend her to a friend.

Cindy & Steve

We would like to express how satisfied and happy we are with the service we received from Stepanie and her team on the sale of our house. Everyone we dealt with was very helpful and friendly.

A big thank you to Bernadette who handled our sale and purchase negotiations. Things got a bit overwhelming a few times and your patience and great advice helped guide us through the process, and we really appreciate that.
