ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a very good experience with Bernie Cobb as our realtor. He sold our house very quickly and offered excellent service and communication throughout the entire process. He also went over and above to help us with details as needed since we were out of state for a majority of the time that our house sold to the closing. He was very responsive and a true professional.

ZillowVERIFIED We were first time home sellers and he was great on walking us through everything that needed to be done to get the house ready for sale. He was very accessible and always willing to answer any questions that we had. It was a great experience!

ZillowVERIFIED He was very helpful and accomodating throughout the whole process. Whenever I had questions, he would answer them quickly. He can also be reached easily with his phone and social media accounts. He was very patient and passionate about his job. I was really amazed by his diligence and dedication because he was able to get the house we wanted with other competitors.

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie represented us in both the sale and purchase of homes this year; overall, this is the third cycle of sale & purchase that we have worked with Bernie on. He is the consummate professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the market - we achieved sale with our very first showing, and the prior sale was achieved within the first weekend in a multi-offer scenario. Going back to the first time we worked with Bernie, after our original realtor failed to sell our home in over 5 months, he pulled it off inside of one week. In a very seller-friendly market having secured a sale, he worked tirelessly to help us find a home with a clear understanding of our needs and wants. Bernie is very humble and understanding and easy to talk to, responds to our texts and emails very quickly and does not play games. There are so many options for representation - I will choose Bernie EVERY time without fail.

ZillowVERIFIED We are the seller. Bernie is extremely professional. We moved to a new city before the house was sold. Bernie took care of everything -- repairing, painting, changing carpet, etc. He worked with contractors, negotiating prices, monitoring the projects. He helped us get the best quote and finished the projects in a timely fashion. We listed the house in winter. Bernie checked the house regularly and maintained our house in perfect shapes. Bernie provided us many professional and genuine suggestions, from house decoration to offer negotiation. Our house was sold at the range of the price we looked for. We are happy about the overall services!

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie was extremely knowledgeable about the market. He went beyond the requirements of an agent helping me to get ready to list. My house was sold in less than 24 hours He stayed close and walked me through the nervousness of first time buyers. I've also selected him as my agent to find me a new home.

ZillowVERIFIED We love Bernie and his assistant Nancy! Bernie is very professional, but very down to Earth and easy to talk to. Bernie responds to our texts and emails very quickly and does not play games. He is incredibly knowledgeable and amazing at what he does. Bernie helped us buy and sell 2 homes and also found a great tenant for our rental property after a previous horrible experience. Nancy is also amazing and prompt and diligent in her work. I would not buy or sell a home with anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie was great to work with and knowledgeable about the Bolingbrook community and area itself. He was effective in marketing the house and being able to sell it within the reasonable time frame. Always ready to answer any questions and very detail oriented. He always went an extra mile. Very happy with the services received. Commitment and humble attitude all the way to the end. With that being said, I would definitely recommend Bernie.

ZillowVERIFIED Our home went on the market in early March just when the pandemic was beginning but that didn't stop Bernie from working his hardest to get our home sold. He was there for us every step of the way and always available for our endless questions and concerns. He went above and beyond and I can't say enough about Bernie and his staff to get the job done. He is an excellent agent and I highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie is an excellent realtor and I highly recommend him. I can't imagine that you could get better help anywhere else. Bernie is native to Naperville and seems to know every person, neighborhood and street. He is very responsive and always available. He showed me and my wife more than 2 dozens homes until we found the perfect fit. He didn't care about the time, he truly cared about making sure we were happy with our purchase. Go with Bernie and you won't go wrong!

ZillowVERIFIED EXTREMELY grateful for the service provided by Bernie Cobb! My family recently relocated to this area from another state. Bernie was consistently honest, available, responsive, and knowledgeable. He and his team supported our move every step of the way and got things done efficiently and with professionalism. I was continually impressed by how hard he worked for us. I highly recommend Bernie and his team!

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie and his team did a great job guiding us through the whole sales process. He is very responsive and kept us up to date the whole way through. He also has a great network of service providers (photographer, stager, contractors for repairs, legal) that made everything go smoothly. He is definitely an expert in the Naperville/Aurora marketplace and would certainly recommend using his services.

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie Cobb did the job! After switching to Bernie he sold our house in weeks after it had been on the market with another agent for 6 months. The virtual staging showed potential buyers what the house could look like with more modern decor. We appreciated his positive and energetic approach, experience and knowledge of the market. We. would highly recommend Bernie!!

ZillowVERIFIED BERNIE CARES ABOUT HIS CLIENTS! Bernie is a professional and a pleasure to work with. You can rest assured you are getting the best of the best with Bernie. With our recent sale, he took the time to listen to our concerns and what was important to us and he came up with great, property-specific ideas. Bernie made sure all was handled in the best possible way. The communication was excellent with weekly updates/communication and he was very responsive when we had questions in-between. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie is amazing!!! I had my home listed with another agent, and had 4 showings in a month, so we parted ways. Met with Bernie to discuss what he would do differently to sell my house. Bernie provided a thorough and detailed marketing strategy that he felt would be a winning solution. Within 7 days, had 4 showings (3 more scheduled), and an asking price offer on my home. So glad I decided to trust in Bernie and his team, it was well founded. Thanks for everything!

ZillowVERIFIED Our home had been on the market for six months under our previous realtor. When the contract ended with that realtor, we switched to Bernie. Within the first weekend of being on the market with Bernie, we had 15 showings and 3 competitive offers. The whole closing experience was very smooth and we definitely would use and recommend Bernie.

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie assisted us in selling our home as well finding a rental. He was always responsive and offered great, pragmatic advice. His staging resource helped us get the house ready to show and we ultimately had multiple full-price offers. Thanks Bernie!

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie rocks!! As first time homebuyers, my wife and I knew practically nothing about the buying process. We were lucky enough to get connected with Bernie who helped us navigate the process from start to finish. He connected us with a lender who was able to get us approved for a loan (even when we thought we never would because of our student loan debt). Bernie was very responsive when we had questions or concerns. I called and texted him frequently and he always got right back to me. He helped us find a home inspector who was also very responsive and professional. During one inspection, Bernie was there to facilitate dealing with a not so pleasant seller. Bernie was there even past the signing, following up to make sure everything was going well with our new home. We can't recommend Bernie enough!

ZillowVERIFIED HANDS DOWN: Bernie is the most awesome agent. He's a true professional and really knows how to market your home to get it to sell. Simply amazing. He arranges a stager, house cleaners, and he is a fantastic negotiator. He takes away all the stresses of selling. Love this guy!

Review for Member: Bernie Cobb
ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I just bought our first home and had a wonderful experience with Bernie. He walked us through every step of the process and did not make us feel like we had silly questions. Bernie was available to talk through decisions pretty much 24/7 and is incredibly fast in his response time. He also knows the Naperville area (where we purchased our home) so well--this was wonderful. Additionally, he has referrals to other professions (electricians, plumbers) that made our transition to our new home so smooth. We 100% recommend Bernie!

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie is the agent you want to buy and sell your house. Our family has experienced Bernie both for buying and selling a house. Bernie and his staff are extremely responsive and communicate well. His knowledge of the area and market is outstanding. It is clear he has built a high level of rapport with other professionals in the real estate business, which helps the process of buying and selling smooth. We put 100% trust in his judgement and negotiating skills and he has always delivered. One part of the selling process I found helpful was his professional stager. She was so sweet but what I appreciated most was how realistic she was. I was worried she'd come through our house and suggest we spend a lot of money. Instead, she made great suggestions about moving pieces around, taking things out, and suggesting to buy some small things, which I believe made our listing photos look amazing! If you want an agent who will get the job done, choose Bernie!

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie was a class act in helping me find a home. He was efficient, honest, and clearly understood the nuances and potential minefields of buying a home. As a first time home buyer, Bernie helped put me at ease by not only helping me clear hurdles, but explaining why those hurdles were there in the first place - helping me understand a business that I was unfamiliar with. I am grateful to have had Bernie as my agent and would recommend him to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Bernie Cobb is truly outstanding as a real estate professional!! He handled the sale of my mother's condo, and was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to our questions and needs. He even went out of his way to help move some of her furniture out so we could close on time!! He has a great team that will be there for you and provide first-class service at all times. I would highly recommend Bernie for any of your real estate needs. He truly cares!

ZillowVERIFIED I have purchased two homes with Bernie and have sold another. I would recommend Bernie and his staff for providing timely, thorough, and most importantly honest feedback throughout the entire buying or selling process. After moving into and out of the area, I have always had the choice with several other firms, but Bernie's straight forward market analysis, outstanding professional opinion and persistent follow-up with me and other agents has made my decision so easy when I am in need of a realtor! I have trusted Bernie and his staff for years and look forward to his assistance in the future. I have and will continue to refer Bernie!!

Review for Member: Bernie Cobb
ZillowVERIFIED One star is too much for this agency. Do NOT sign a contract with Bernie Cobb Jr. He is unprofessional, not ethical, manipulative and threatening. I signed a contract with him for the sale of my deceased mothers home back in Sept.. I was somewhat ignorant and didn't think to pay attention to how long the contract was but it is a year. He talked me into a horrible sale with double contingencies and did not have my best interest. The sale fell thru the night before closing. After wasting 3 months trying to sell the home I asked him to take it off the market and cancel the listing while I took a break and made some upgrades to the home. 2 months later comes to find out he never cancelled my listing as asked to do so. He has it temporarily no showings which made sense bc I did have ppl wandering around the house asking questions. When confronted he got very confrontational but we talked and I agreed to let him remarket the property. Days later we didn't see eye to eye on anything. Bernie will try to get you to sell your house at the lowest price for a quick sale. He will even purposely not show you the higher comps so you think your property is worth lower than what it actually is. He wants a fast sale and onto the next he doesn't care about the few thousand more he could make selling it competitively. So then I asked him to cancel my listing bc we didn't see eye to eye and he refused and threatened I either buy him out paying full commission to him or the house sits until his contract expires in 6 months. He said that was my choice. He also refused to give me back my keys so I had to have locks changed. He sent me harassing text after harassing texts trying to manipulate me into using him. I spoke with his broker and he is just as unprofessional and offered me another agent in the office so Bernie and that agent can split the commission. They are all about making money off you and are not for you.

ZillowVERIFIED BERNIE IS AMAZING!! He is the absolute best hands down. Every single time I had a question or concern, not only did he respond very quickly, he provided me with the facts! There is no limits to his level of engagement. He serves as your true partner. Bernie treats the home buying process with you as if he is going to be the one purchasing! Such attention to detail. Bernie was willing to negotiate on my behalf and I came out better than I would've hoped for in the end. He has sold homes for my family members as well and they have been equally as impressed with his professionalism and personal service! Bernie will be the first person I call when its time to do this again!!

ZillowVERIFIED We listed our home with Bernie in 2013 and had an all around great experience. Bernie is honest, very detailed and extremely hard working. We received first class service from the first meeting all the way to the time of closing. After being gone for 3 yrs, my family is now moving back to the area and who did we call, of course, Bernie Cobb. Now on the buying side, Bernie once again showed all his spectacular qualities as a top notch, highly experienced realtor and immediately helped us find the home with everything we were looking for. Having moved 9 times, from one side of the country to the other and in between, Bernie is best of the best. No matter what side of the transaction you are on, listing and/or buying, Bernie always represents your best interests. As far as I'm concerned, there is no one better in the Western Suburbs than Bernie Cobb and team. Bernie will always be the only realtor I recommend to family, friends & neighbors and if/when we sell or buy again, Bernie will be our first and only call.

ZillowVERIFIED We listed our home with Bernie in 2001 and had a very pleasant and successful experience. Based on that experience I recommended Bernie to my mom and dad. Their home sold and we experienced the same thing. My sister used Bernie for her buying experience in the area as well. In total My wife and I have used Bernie three times. It truly was a family affair and Bernie is a quality family man. He approaches the business with knowledge, respect for the people he is representing and gives straight feedback. During the years we have gotten to know his family and the whole Cobb team is first class. When we sell in the future he will get the listing.

Review for Member: Bernie Cobb
ZillowVERIFIED In my opinion, he is obstinate,egotistic and only works when he feels like it. Again, my opinion is that he works to promote and market himself more than the sale of your house. We had an early disagreement and he called and left a message yelling at me. Then when we asked to be let out of the contract he refused. In my view, he promised a lot and then just suggested that we lower the list price. I believe my efforts as "By Owner" could of rendered the same results. I reiterate that all of this is my opinion based on my experience. By the way Zillow does not allow you to rate below one star.

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Bernie last year to buy a home and sell my townhouse. He was great in all aspects! Very responsive to requests and patient in finding "the one" in my preferred location and budget. When the purchase process began, his knowledgeable and experience really shined through -- guiding me through some stressful situations (like the price negotiation, inspection results, and an appraisal that nearly derailed the whole thing). After that, selling the townhouse was a breeze/super easy; it sold in two weeks and closed with no drama. I have been in my new house for over a year and am truly home. Thank you to Bernie for helping make it happen!

ZillowVERIFIED These people know what it is to sell and purchase a home. My experience with Bernie Cobb & associates was amazing. There is no other way to explain what these people have done for myself and family. If your serious on purchasing or selling a home, you would never know the techniques and technology that's avaliable now a days in which this office uses. They are on top of everything, and they are very up to date. We listed with two other agencies within a year and the responses were pretty bad. No effort from either of them and it was a year totally waisted. We waited about six months after that and heard about Bernie Cobb's Realtors from the reviews. WOW, is all I have to say. THESE PEOPLE ARE ON IT TOTALLY. I have never seen a realtor group move the way these guys do. Try them, they won't let you down. Your going to love the way they work for you. Robert P.

Review for Member: Bernie Cobb
ZillowVERIFIED All we can say is that Bernie was amazing. We have know Bernie for awhile and we were honored to work with him on a professional level. He took us to see an absurd amount of homes, probably close to 100, due to the fact that we chose too large of an area. He drove us to see home in Wheaton, Downers Grove, Lisle and Naperville. We had days when we would look at 12 homes, or after a call on Friday night he would take us to see a home Saturday morning. The dedication he had for us was unparalleled. The service and professionalism was unmatched. He spoke up when he felt something was not right and he let us know when something was definitely worth considering. There is not enough that we can say about Bernie, except that we would never choose another realtor, nor recommend anyone else to our friends and family. Bernie is part of our family now and always will be! R&C

ZillowVERIFIED It is with great pleasure to recommend Bernie Cobb as a Premier Agent for your home.Bernie has lived in the Naperville area for 37 years and a realtor for 23 years in the Naperville/Aurora market. You will find Bernie to be extremely knowledgeable of this area, attentive to your needs, responsive and an all around true professional. It is because of my first hand experience of Bernie's work and resources that I am confident in giving him this recommendation.
