When my husband and I decided to assist our daughter in purchasing her first home in Florida, I wanted someone that would make her feel at ease with such a big step. Also, we live in Virginia and would need to do a lot of the "legwork" virtually. I did a search and we came across Vanessa. She fit us perfectly. She was so on top of all of our long demands. She kept us up to date on what was available within our parameters. Then, when we flew down (twice),she was ready and had organized visits to numerous properties. Vanessa truly made our daughter, and us, completely at ease with finding the right place. This was not just transactional, we feel like we also made a friend. If/when we need to buy another home in the Sarasota/Bradenton area, we would look no further than her. If I could give her higher than a five star rating, I would.

Our experience in securing our home has been amazing. Vanessa was very caring, reliable, and personable throughout the whole process. She helped us every step of the way! Vanessa was always available to answer our questions, and understood our needs. She was absolutely wonderful! Highly recommended.

Vanessa was amazing. She is very professional and has a wonderful personality. She spent time listening to the type of home we were looking for and did a great job locating them. She arranged both in person and virtual visits as it was a 3 hour trip to our new location. Vanessa always made herself available and diligently worked at getting answers to our questions as well as pointing out potential concerns in some of the homes we saw. Additionally, she was able to recommend a lender who provided a great rate as well as an unbelievably fast approval time. We went from contract to closing in 3 weeks! We would definitely recommend Vanessa to assist you in buying or selling your next home.

Vanessa, did a outstanding job and went out of her way to help us get through the process with no stress and would use her again.After the sake she continued to be helpful in getting us settled in…

Vanessa helped us to find exactly the house that we were looking. From start to finish, she was amazing to work with. Her years of real estate experience, combined with knowledge of the local market, makes her the perfect partner when buying (or selling) a home. We were out of state and right from the beginning, she made sure to understand what we were looking for. She also educated us on how the entire purchase process and timeline can work out. This allowed us to make informed decisions like when to give notice on our rental house. Another plus is the network she has built to support her process: we found the lowest rate through her lender contact and the house inspector she recommended was very professional. We strongly recommend Vanessa to assist you in buying or selling your next home.

Vanessa just helped us sell our first house! She gave us great advice and guidance and we are so happy with the results. She’s been so patient showing us houses (we’ve been looking at houses for 3 years) and has become a great friend! I honestly forget she’s my realtor because she’s genuinely interested in my life and and takes time to find out how we are doing. I’m very grateful we found her! I would 100% recommend Vanessa to anyone and everyone!

Vanessa was wonderful to work with as we navigated buying a home remotely, during a pandemic. She went above and beyond doing video tours of houses, provided us with accurate information about neighborhoods/areas, and explained the home buying process. She is basically superwoman! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Vanessa had worked with us since March 2020 to help us find the perfect home. We took a break for several months and got back into the process this summer. She did really well to help us understand the home buying process as first time homebuyers, random questions, hypothetical scenarios and real situations. She kept in contact with us daily and responded promptly to our needs. We found our home and she fought hard to get the best deal and set us up with a financer. Overall, this was a positive experience and not as daunting as some may think.

Vanessa helped us buy our first home, and while we didn't get a lot of in person interaction because of social distancing Vanessa made sure we were always in the loop and updated. I can't imagine this is an easy time with absolutely everything having to be virtual and online but Vanessa was very helpful in explaining things and making us feel like she was available for any question we may have... and we had a lot!

Vanessa is great! From the moment I met her, she was genuine and I could tell she had the client's best interest in mind. She is knowledgeable about construction finishes, and will let you know if she notices something is wrong. She is also very responsive and makes it a point to make herself available for showing at a moment's notice. Will be contacting her back when it's time to sell/buy again!

To have Vanessa in my corner was a complete blessing, by far one of the most transparent agents I have worked with. She knows the market, the people, and the area; if I had to do it again, she has my business, no questions asked. Vanessa helped me to navigate the home buying process while deployed and dealing with the COVID crisis; she provided me with guidance and expertise. Working in a different time zone and dealing with the stress of deployment, plus not being there in person, she went above and beyond what was asked of her. If it were anyone else, I know I would not have gotten the deal I got, not to mention the savings. Simply put Vanessa Van Den Berg is a professional.

We must have had the most difficult home to sell in all of Gig Harbor. It was a great house, but we had nothing but struggle with several potential buyers. Vanessa not only looked out for our interests, but went to bat for us several times. We cannot recommend Vanessa highly enough. You will not be disappointed.
