Joint Venture Partner

Grace Property

Bernard has a dual focus: educating young individuals on how to access the property market and chart a path toward homeownership, and working with existing property owners to leverage their assets and create wealth through investment. His passion is rooted in helping others navigate their property journey, much like he was guided in his early days of homebuying.

In Bernard’s view, the three most crucial attributes of a real estate agent are:
● Care: Beyond customer-centricity, it's about deeply understanding the product, offering valuable advice, and fostering relationships to provide unwavering support throughout the journey.

● Active Listening: He emphasises the importance of truly understanding clients' needs and being honest when there isn't a perfect fit, as opposed to pushy sales tactics.

● Honesty: Above all, it's about personal integrity, a cornerstone of trust in every relationship, whether personal or professional.

What brings the most joy to Bernard is witnessing people discover properties they truly love, where they can create a home for themselves and their families. For him, real estate is about turning dreams into reality.

Life outside of work is just as important to Bernard. To unwind and rejuvenate, he has embraced hobbies like Squash and Golf, adding a fun twist to his downtime. Dancing Salsa and Bachata, indoor rock climbing, exploring investment opportunities, and discovering new places with friends are all part of his vibrant life outside of work.

With Bernard, you'll find a dedicated professional with a commitment to growth, a passion for helping others, and a unique philosophy that places clients at the heart of every partnership. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, he's here to guide you on your property journey. Get in touch with Bernard and experience real estate through the lens of a true partner.
