"Boy, if I could give Berry 10 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat! It's been quite the journey...almost 10 years! That's when I first contacted Berry, when my wife and I began searching for a home to buy. I'm not sure how we found Berry, and I wasn't sure at the time if we would retain him as our agent, since we were just testing out agents. From our very first set of showings, my wife and I knew that Berry was our guy! He was extremely diligent in taking us across multiple towns in pursuit of finding the perfect home for us. But unfortunately, due to no fault of Berry's, we couldn't make our numbers work. After it became apparent that we, as a much younger family, were not yet ready to buy a home, we postponed our search for a home. About a year later, we found a house we thought was perfect for us that we thought we could afford. We contacted Berry again, and yet again, Berry worked diligently for us, and he helped get our offer accepted. We went as far as getting through the inspection for the house, but we couldn't come up with a large enough down payment, and in the end, we couldn't close on the house. Despite our disappointment, Berry encouraged us not to give up and to continue to build our income and prepare for homeownership in the future. Over the years, I would recommend Berry to my friends, and he always took good care of them. Well, this year, we realized that we were finally ready to buy a home, and it was our turn to reach out to Berry once more. Berry remembered us after all these years, and we were overjoyed to work with him again. Berry struck a perfect balance of letting us make our own choices, but sharing his wisdom, based on his vast expertise. It was comforting and empowering to learn from Berry throughout the process, as he explained what we didn't know with clarity and patience. One of my favorite phrases Berry would say is "...at the same time..." because he always knew how to help us consider the other side of a decision to help us understand our decisions in a deeper way. It was these interactions with Berry that helped us discover a home we knew was right for our family of 6. Thanks to Berry's efforts, we officially became First-time Homeowners on Good Friday!!! We could NOT have done this without Berry, because we would've been lost. Berry guided us through every step of the house-buying process to the extent that at no point did we feel alone. He was always reachable whenever we had a question or needed some guidance. One example was when Berry gave us a few tips on writing an offer letter to go along with the offer we made on our home. This is significant because when we spoke to the seller at the closing, she mentioned that she reviewed 3 separate offers and that our letter is what "put it over the top" for her...wow! Our family is incredibly grateful to Berry for his commendable work ethic and his kind-hearted spirit - he shows that he genuinely cares, and he has an ability to make you feel encouraged, empowered, and enriched. If you are looking for a home, I couldn't recommend Berry enough! If you do call MacCracken, just make sure you Start Packin' because Berry will find a home that's right for you! Thanks Berry!"
