"My wife and myself just purchased our first home and we feel we could not have done it without Shawn Bernard and his awesome staff at Central Mass Real Estate. When I say that Shawn knows everything there is to know about buying a home, I mean it. … He is attentive, caring, easy going, trustworthy and dedicated to his clients. He made even the most daunting tasks go fluidly. He prepared us for every pitfall we could possibly encounter and how to take action to avoid them in the first place. I had endless questions, concerns and doubts and Shawn skillfully handled each with aplomb. He explained everything very clearly and patiently. No inquiry was too big or too small. He wanted us to feel 100% comfortable at every turn. He took the time to understand what we wanted in a home and gave his honest opinion about every detail we looked at. Shawn had tons of recommendations from well water companies to lending institutions to inspectors to lawyers to accountants (and with all of these recommendations, he encouraged us to call as many as we could and interview them to be sure we were comfortable) to the best places to go for hard wood flooring to how to properly pipe an arsenic filter to how to maintain our heating and cooling systems....I could go on and on.He even followed up with us weeks after the purchase to not only ask if we were satisfied with our decision, but he asked genuine questions about what our favorite things about the house were and how everything was coming along.If I ever decide to sell my home in the future, there is no doubt who I will go to. If any friend or family member asks me who I'd recommend, there is no doubt who I'd send them to.If you're a home seller or a home buyer, you want Shawn Bernard and Central Mass Real Estate on your side. You will not regret it."
