Bernadette Krystow

How do I adequately summarize Nathalie and Bernadette—as creative, hardworking, high quality and expert real estate professionals? Yes, and more: They complement each other. Bernadette overflows with magical vision and creative ideas for enhancing value with a preternatural ability to gauge the market. She would never leave a seller unhappy with a less than adequate price. Nathalie has an eye for aesthetic details in interior staging and exterior gardening. She is calm, patient and experienced in negotiations, organization management and proper documentation at a paralegal level. One or the other is always available. They balance each other so that there is never a question of issues not being heard or addressed. As a client, I was treated with compassion, fairness, patience and attentive listening. They respectfully understood that I was undergoing a major transition of a large asset. They work incredibly hard. Real estate commissions can be pretty hefty in Bay Area markets, but with this dynamic duo, their commission was definitely well-earned. Their COMPLIMENTARY staging is sparkling clean, breathtakingly beautiful inside and out with absolutely meticulous attention to detail: it is like the difference between going through a coin operated car-wash or using a luxurious auto detailer who wraps your auto in a red bow. They are deeply experienced with savvy knowledge of local real estate markets, appropriate pricing, buyer and seller psychologies, and, they are top notch marketers. They have invaluable access to a large base of timely available, reasonable and skilled gardeners, painters, plumbers, carpet-layers, electricians, inspectors and handypersons. They are generous with their time and resources; never once complaining about time spent, or their exhaustive efforts. I am SO appreciative of Bernadette Krystow and Nathalie Kemp of Engel&Völkers. You will be in great hands when you choose them as your realtors.

Bernadette is a force of nature! Creative, professional, positive, enthusiastic---and driven! Bernadette knows her stuff and has fire in her belly! She knows her market, has a keen eye for design and staging, has a wide network of resources and a team of professionals and craftsmen behind her that magically deliver results quickly, on budget, on time and beyond expectation. She listens well. I engaged Bernadette's services when the team I had originally hired had yielded dismal results. From the moment she took over it was "Lights! Camera! Action!" and I new I was in the right hands! I could not be happier with the results.

Bernadette made our house look beautiful and inviting and went above and beyond with helping us prepare the property for the market. She got us a good price and was a pleasure to work with
