I had the pleasure of closing a transaction with Bjorn and he was a total pro, negotiated well for his buyers and was an excellent communicator which a much appreciated trait in this line of work. Cheers to a great closing Bjorn! Let’s do it again soon.

We cannot say enough about how great Bjorn Berg has been helping us find our new home. We searched for well over a year, made several bids, got outbid several times and Bjorn patiently worked with us during this historically competitive time. He did an amazing job guiding us through this stressful and challenging market, helped us achieve our goal and again, we can’t say enough about how incredibly helpful, knowledgable and positive he was through the whole thing. Highest possible recommendation.

Bjorn represented us to buy and a single family home in Aptos and then sell our home in Morgan Hill, CA.

We found Bjorn to be an excellent choice as our Realtor. Not only did we have a great success with purchasing our new home, but also in selling our former home. His negotiation skills are finely honed and, when mixed with his awareness of the market landscape, gave us the competitive edge we needed.

Bjorn stepped in to our new home purchase as our agent with very little lead time and was able to give insightful advice on purchase terms to make our offer very appealing to the seller and help save us money at the same time. In a very competitive seller's market, we were able to purchase the home we wanted in a highly desirable neighborhood. Bjorn's instincts are spot on!

After the successful purchase of our new home, the next steps were to begin to prepare to sell our former home. We knew that we wanted to have Bjorn, with his real estate savvy, represent us as our Realtor. Bjorn put together a comprehensive marketing strategy which included a professional home design review complete with implementation suggestions. Bjorn helped us choose those suggestions that would have the most impact. Our home was then professionally and beautifully staged. The marketing of our home was "next level" -- it included a narrated action video bringing the most exciting parts of our home to life! The professional photography was very artistic and highlighted key aspects of our interior and exterior features. The marketing material was provided to the top online internet real estate sites as well as local listings to make our home easy to find for potential buyers.

Bjorn was always there with quick, sound, and creative responses to our requests for advice as we hit bumps in the road during our home's market preparation process. Bjorn was able to use his expert negotiating skills during the offer acceptance process as our home eventually sold for a record price per square foot in our neighborhood, much higher than the listing price. We highly recommend Bjorn to be your realtor to help make your purchase or sale of your next home a success!

Bjorn helped my wife and I find the perfect starter home in the ridiculous real estate market of Santa Cruz. We started as dreamers with Bjorn, and then a few months later ended up being first time home owners! We did NOT expect to buy a home this quickly-- to be honest we are still in a bit of shock that we did!

Bjorn was wonderful at listening to the various anxieties that bubbled up as we waded through the process of purchasing a home, all while we chased after our toddler on showings, and during phone calls.

He always took the time to listen to what we really wanted and needed, and clarify any questions, however big or small we had about the very overwhelming process of purchasing a home. Bjorn made sure to follow up with us and remind us of things we needed to do to close, paperwork we needed to submit, etc. That was very helpful as we both work full time and needed those reminders.

Bjorn is very responsive via text and phone (even when he went off on vacation he checked in with us!) He also helped us get established with a very helpful lender, home inspection service, and was able to help us get any extra help we need.

Bjorn offered to show us properties multiple times to help us make up our mind, and was super patient throughout the process as we teetered back and forth about what we wanted, and where we wanted to be.

Choose this guy! He will listen to you, laugh with you, and put your family first to find the perfect nest.

When we set out to find our Ideal Santa Cruz Beach House in 2020, it seemed like a pretty daunting task. The coastal California market is notoriously competitive. Society seemed on the brink of collapse. Bjorn made sure everything fell in place. Everything went so smoothly, it was hard to believe it could be that easy.
It was easy though. Bjorn kept us informed of what was happening. He set everything up. He put us in touch with a lender that gave us a great rate.
Here we are, a year later living by the beach and loving it. When we need to upgrade, we'd absolutely call him again. Thanks Bjorn!

Bjorn was recommended to us by the Landed program and I feel like it was the greatest thing that could have happened to us. He was able to find us a great place for a great price while being super informative. There were times we were confused and he was always there to help make sure we understood everything. If we are ever in the market for another house, I will be contacting Bjorn again.

Bjorn and the Ben Strock team came recommended by a Santa Cruz acquaintance. This team is ON IT. They are fast, efficient and know the Santa Cruz market inside and out. They seem to be one step ahead with information and new listings, even sharing properties that are getting ready to be listed. Knowing about potential offerings was so essential in this competitive market. Once he learned about what we were looking for, he got creative with ideas and potential leads. He really listened and problem solved.

Bjorn never gave up in trying to find something that met my criteria. It’s a very challenging market and he worked tirelessly to find us a home. He is friendly, very professional, fast to respond to emails and calls, and takes his work seriously. I also appreciate the information packet he shared in our first meeting, which helped me learn about his firm and practices.

I trust his expertise and experience and enjoyed working with him.

Bjorn is the best! Don’t let the hair be a distraction 🤣
Seriously, this is someone who truly cares about his clients (it’s not just about the money) we appreciate his calm, cool & collected way of doing things. This guy knows his stuff! Everything played out as he said it would. Bjorn is a breath of fresh air from your typical agent. He will be our go to guy from here on out
We can’t thank him enough
