OakTree Real Estate Services-Realtor in El Dorado Hills JILL Berni

Career Path

I entered Real estate in 1977 working for several well know banks and savings and loans. I learned the importance of thorough documentation, determining mortgage qualifications and customer service. Today, I am able to quickly determine if a potential buyer is one that has the necessary qualifications to purchase one of my listings.

During the 1980’s, the market rendered new challenges brought about by change in federal regulations and the advancement of consumer protection. At this time, I had advanced to Senior Loan officer, further increasing my skills of letter perfect documentation and also acquiring the patience to listen to each applicant’s needs and desires which has proven to be a valuable attribute today. This is also where I learned how important it was to move in a timely manner and relentlessly pursue the closing of each real estate transaction.

As a result of handling thousands of real estate lending transactions, I acquired her Real Estate license and transitioned into the realm of selling real estate. It was a natural progression to utilize my specialized training to now control both sides of the transaction, to better service my client’s needs and assure the completion of the sale. I have worked for such note-worthy Real Estate companies as Re/max Gold, Folsom Real Estate and Lyon Real Estate which helped to increase my broad spectrum of skills, advanced Real Estate training and moving toward the next stage in my career.

In 2002, I decided it was time to leave the regimented corporate environment. I had earned my Brokers License and wanted to open a Real Estate company that was focused on the individual client needs, instead of an inflexible corporate agenda. I also wanted my husband, Edward, to bring his Brokers License and merge his 30 years of sales and marketing to our new company.

When I opened OakTree Real Estate Services, it was important to me to have the most experienced trustworthy team available, members who are long time residents, and those that can provide maturity and understanding to each individual client’s needs. Each team member has vast experience in each area of the Real Estate dynamic, to give each buyer and seller the most seamless transaction possible.

The heart of our area is the Town Center. Not only are there grocery stores, but one-of-a-kind gift shops and art galleries, restaurants, medical and professional offices, banks, Regal Cinemas 14, salons and spas, ice cream pallars and coffee houses, boutiques, Target, and special events like The Farmers” Market, The July 4th Fireworks Jubilee, Fallen Warriors Memorial Car and Motorcycle Show, and the Rotary Wine & Cheese Party Family Fun Fair, and Live on the Boulevard Events.

On of our favorite things about the area is that we enjoy four seasons here. The beautiful spring weather and lush green hills renew our enjoyment of the entire area when outdoor activities in the lower elevations can be enjoyed. (El Dorado County goes from 200 feet above sea level to 10,000’ at Heavenly Valley Ski Resort).

The summer brings opportunities to explore the many lakes and rivers, maybe get in some fishing and head to Old Town Sacramento for lunch or dinner on the Sacramento River.

Fall is radiant in El Dorado County -- trees blazing with color and an annual trip to Apple Hill to celebrate the season.

Then winter brings the white caps on the Sierra Mountains for the holidays and winter skiing.
