For anyone buying or selling a home there’s definitely a certain amount of anxiety that goes along with the process and I was no different. I was a bundle of nerves, however from the moment Iva came to the door there was an atmosphere of peace. I can’t thank her enough for ensuring I knew and understood my options. She help me set reasonable deadlines to prepare the house and she walked me through the entire process to help settle my nerves.
We are so thankful for the outstanding job our real estate agent did in selling my father-in-law’s home. From start to finish, she was attentive, professional, and incredibly supportive. She staged the house beautifully, highlighting its best features in a way that truly made it shine. Her communication was excellent—she kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer questions or offer reassurance. What stood out most was how personally invested she was in the process. She treated the sale as if it were her own family’s home, and that level of care made all the difference. We felt encouraged and confident throughout, knowing we had someone we could trust guiding the way. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled agent who genuinely cares about her clients. She made a potentially stressful situation feel smooth and manageable, and we are so grateful!
From the first day that I met Iva, I immediately felt comfortable by her warmth and expertise as a real estate agent. While the search for my home required visits to various homes over multiple days, she was very patient and put me at ease with her professional and caring nature, which really added to my positive experience. I received a strong sense that she desired to help me find the perfect home, and I did! Iva was a joy to work with and she made the daunting task of buying a new home into a wonderful experience. I am thankful to have worked with her and I would highly recommend Iva Berkebile for anyone looking to sell or buy a home!
Iva was an amazing support as my husband and I looked for our first home. She cared for us as people and worked to help us find the perfect home. Iva was very knowledgeable about home construction and helped us identify concerns regarding damage or deterioration. We were confident she was seeking to help us find the best place for us to be, and not just for another house sale. We highly recommend Iva to all our friends looking for a realtor.
I was looking to move back into the area after living in Virginia for quite some time. Iva was recommended to me by a family friend and I appreciate the “word of mouth” aspect of finding the right person for a job. I met with Iva and had a good conversation on wants/dont wants in an house and where I’d like to end up within central PA and how the market was faring in PA since I was used to VA market as I was selling a house there. When I was up visiting, she did wonderful in getting me into a house or two when opportunity presented itself. She also worked with me to do virtual tours when I was unable to be in PA and working on move aspects in VA to continue the hunt for the perfect house for me. After one virtual tour, she had mentioned a house that seemed to check off every box and seemed like the perfect fit for me. And I enjoyed so many aspects of the house that we placed a bid, and won! She communicated with me about every step and even some issues and advocated for me to resolve issues and get things moving in the settlement. She kept me informed with the good and bad aspects of the home buying process and I knew I could count on her to be there every step of the way. And she continues to be available if any questions arise from me which I truly appreciate! She was knowledgeable about the market, figured out my likes/dislikes quickly to show me homes I would consider vs any home that fit the basic criteria I had, advocated for me when I wasn’t in the area to do so, and walked me through each aspect of home buying with answers to any questions I had. I don’t plan moving again any time soon as I would work with her again in a heartbeat but would recommend Iva to anyone who is looking to purchase a home/move to another without hesitation! Thank you Iva for your help to get me into my forever home!
Iva is a true professional from start to finish. She made the transaction extremely smooth. I would definitely hire her again.
I would like to recommend Iva to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home! She was super attentive, knowledgeable, helpful & very professional! Iva got the job done in the time I needed! My home was under contract four days after we listed it! Iva was very quick to respond to any questions or issues that I had. She was more than an agent. She was also a friend! I would highly recommend her to anyone! Super Job!!
Iva diligently worked with me for about 2 years, until I found another home to purchase. She listened to what I wanted in a new home, and tailored her home showings to my needs and preferences. In both the purchase of my new home and the sale of my previous home, Iva was thorough, responsive, knowledgeable, and meticulous in her handling of every detail. She provided stellar service!
Not only is Iva knowledgeable in the area and surrounding areas, but she is fluent in her presentation of literature with comparisons as well. She will go above the normal scale of agent to assist in all ways, including staging of your home to bring the most and acceptable offer to you as the seller. Organized, Diligent, and a pleasure to work with. Have recommended her to my neighbor as well.
Iva is the best agent I've ever worked with! She was knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and went the extra mile in every interaction. When problems arose at settlement with funding from the buyer of my previous home, she was able to swiftly negotiate an alternative to allow us to settle on time. I highly recommend working with Iva to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home!
Iva was able to inform me about the whole buying and searching process. She was also very determined to help me find the perfect house at the perfect price point.
Iva was a joy to work with! She's very professional, transparent, and is absolutely working for you and for your benefit. So glad she was our Realtor this time around!
