Meet the Bergdahl team.

Rich Bergdahl

JD, SRES

Rich started in the real estate industry first as an appraiser. After graduating with a degree in finance, he worked as a real estate appraiser in California, where he discovered the fundamental importance of home ownership.  He then went to law school and became a Washington State attorney.  He practiced as a family lawyer and then as a title insurance attorney before heading back into the industry he missed.  Rich believes his career today is a direct result of the experience he had as a real estate appraiser.  As an attorney, he brings a legal edge to every Bergdahl Real Property transaction. Today, Rich believes in not only in being involved with our clients, but in the bigger world of Real Estate and as past president of the Seattle King County Realtors is highly active in the Realtor organization.

For fun, Rich enjoys golf, boating, and getting away to the family cabin in eastern Washington.

Nanette Bergdahl

ABR, CRS, ASR, CNE

Nanette first acquired her real estate license when she was just 20 years old, but her entry into the real estate profession did not start until after a successful 20-year career in the travel industry. During that time, she excelled at coordinating travel, managing details, multi-tasking, and taking responsibility for the successful outcome of every transaction.  After marrying Rich in 1999, the two decided to venture into real estate full-time and where these skills have set the team up for success.  Nan's masterful customer service continues to make Bergdahl Real Property thrive.

Nan loves spending time with her family, friends, and discovering new places whenever she can.

“Rich & Nanette Bergdahl have been brokers in RE/MAX Northwest's Kirkland office for 23 years. Not only are they staples in our offices, but also in the Kirkland community. Through the Kirkland Rotary Club and the Association of Realtors, they've been able to get involved and give back to the local community, the state, and nationwide.” —Jerry Martin, Designated Broker, RE/MAX Northwest

Our business philosophy.

You matter to us

This core value drives everything we do at Bergdahl Real Property.  We understand that buying or selling a house is never just buying or selling a house. Maybe for you it’s about finding a comfortable and safe environment for your family, investing in your future, or moving on to a new season. No matter your situation, it is an important and complicated step in the story of your life. At Bergdahl Real Property, we understand this. We believe in serving our clients with consistent honesty, transparency, and loyalty, because that’s how people should be treated. We take the time to get to know you, your story, and your goals, to best know how we can come alongside to assist you in that effort. We believe that every part of the buying or selling process should be handled with care and competency. If you are currently looking for a real estate agent, we would love to earn the opportunity to partner with you in your real estate journey.

 

Houses aren’t cans of soup.

They aren’t all the same. Each house is unique, just like people are unique. They are always being affected by the ever-changing community around them. The market moves with the trends in the neighborhood; from new parks and hot new local eateries, to constuction and new zoning laws. In order to price your home well or find a home that will be a great investment, you need someone who understands the personality of your house, and how it fits into the larger context of the community.  At Bergdahl Real Property, we are committed to engaging with our community and understanding the complex factors that affect home values, providing you with the most current data. All this to ensure that your transaction is a success.

 

A website can’t sell your home.

Technology is a great tool, but at the end of the day, buying or selling a home still requires the human touch: clear and careful interpersonal communication, artful negotiation skills, data synthesis, and pen on paper.  In essence, it always has been, and will always be, about people, not houses. While numerous real estate websites can provide you with fun estimates and tools to see what your house is theoretically worth, what you really need is a knowledgable and  thoughtful agent who sees the relationships between the data, and is an advocate who will be there to walk with you through the entire process. Someone who has the skills to navigate through tough negotiations or unexpected inspection results. You need someone who understands that the process is about you, not a property.

 

Experience breeds results.

In a sometimes tough and complex market, you need the most seasoned and knowledgeable Broker you can find. We have been in residential real estate together since 1999, and have been voted "Best in Client Satisfaction" for 11 consecutive years by Seattle Magazine. Rich's background as an attorney in the title insurance industry and as a real estate appraiser and Nanete's 27 years of award-winning customer service experience give Bergdahl Real Property clients the edge they need in today's challenging market. Nanette serves on the Washington Association of Realtors, and Rich serves on the Seattle King County, Washington, and National Association of Realtors. Nan and Rich are also members of the RE/MAX Hall of Fame and have received the Chairman’s Club Award and the Diamond Club Award. We firmly believe that our experience and expertise in the real estate industry will make your buying or selling experience extremely successful.
