Happy New Beginnings Real Estate Team - RE/MAX Commonwealth

We just closed on our house this past Friday and I can't say enough about Bernice Sim and her team at Happy New Beginnings. She outlined a strategy to get the most for our house, and with her guidance and recommendations, we transformed the house into a beautiful space. In just 4 days, we had a ton of showings and 7 offers. We signed a contract on day 5 for well over the asking price. And a huge thanks to Heather at Happy New Beginnings, who kept us on track and answered any questions that popped up along the way. We would definitely use Bernice again when selling a home.

My dad used and trusted Bernice because she sold one of his homes that no one else could seem to sell - and for more!! Bernice and her team are very trusted with our family, so it was just natural that I used her to help me buy my first home. I'm so excited to be moving and have found the perfect place. Bernice and her team have been incredible throughout this whole process. They have made being a first-time homebuyer feel less scary. We began the process of putting my offer in during the holidays, and Bernice worked tirelessly with me to make sure we got everything in before the deadline (despite it being in the middle of the holiday season). I couldn't have asked for a better person to be by my side through this whole process. She is so kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. She mad

Working with Bernice Sim at Happy New Beginnings was truly a top-notch experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, organized, and an absolute joy to work with. She not only guided me through the selling process, but also helped us prepare our home so it would show beautifully and sell smoothly. And that it did! What really stood out was Bernice caring nature, during moments when I felt stressed, her encouraging words and steady motivation lifted me up and kept me focused. She went above and beyond to make sure I never felt alone in the process. Her staff at Happy New Beginnings was also outstanding, knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to provide the information I needed to feel confident every step of the way. I can honestly say that working with Bernice and her

I cannot say enough good things about Bernice and her team! We actually moved to another state but kept our home in Virginia as a rental. When it came time to sell, we knew we wanted to work with Bernice again. We sent her a quick text and she immediately offered to chat with us by phone and discuss a timeline and strategy. Bernice offered invaluable insight into how to transition our home from rental to ready to sell. And as we were located 5 hours away in a different state, she was our eyes and ears on the house and took many trips over to give us updates by video and phone and offer suggestions. She helped connect us to different contractors and services as well. We took all of her advice on renovations and ended up getting an offer at asking only 4 days after listing! BUT we owe the bi

Long story short, I've had 5 Realtor experiences in my life and this was by far the best of them. In the future, I'd be thrilled to recommend Happy New Beginnings (HNB) to any friends who decided to move this way because I would KNOW they'll be taken care of! Looking for a home in Richmond, I originally went with a different realtor company and spent 2 YEARS with them. Google reviews has a character limit, so I can’t fully explain. Just trust me when I say it was a truly terrible experience before I finally decided to leave them and contact HNB. Upon calling HNB and speaking with Catherine Curran, I immediately knew things would be different here. I started working with her in January and closed in March, less than 3 months later! Catherine let me know extra details about listings that I
