BERNADETH HUER TA S MEET

Bernadeth Huertas, a dynamic and accomplished real estate agent, has been in the real estate industry for 5 years with a remarkable track record of selling over 250 homes. Born and raised in the Philippines, Bernadeth’s journey is a testament to her unwavering determination and entrepreneurial spirit.

From a young age, Bernadeth displayed an innate business acumen. In elementary school, she hustled by selling candies within her school premises, showcasing an early entrepreneurial flair. Her ventures expanded during high school, where she successfully managed a fireworks store, a phone cards outlet, a mini boutique, and even worked as part of the McDonald’s crew. It was evident that Bernadeth had a vision for success from the very beginning.

Despite facing challenges, including not completing her AB psychology subject in college, Bernadeth remained confident that her hard work would lead to success. Upon getting married, she entered the workforce with positions in a credit union and a jewelry store. However, her true calling emerged when she opened her own childcare business, driven by the desire to provide the best care for her three children.

As her children entered their teenage years, Bernadeth transitioned into the real estate industry. She embraced the challenges with open arms, combining her people skills, love for solving problems, and genuine passion for helping others. Her dedication and hard work paid off, establishing her as a successful realtor.

Beyond personal success, Bernadeth’s commitment extends to being the breadwinner for her family, supporting her parents, assisting her niece with school expenses, and aiding other relatives. Her journey is not just about personal achievement but also about uplifting those around her.

Bernadeth’s enthusiasm for her work is evident in her love for connecting with people. Being a natural people person, she thrives on building relationships and finding solutions for her clients. For Bernadeth Huertas, real estate isn’t just a career; it’s a calling. She proudly states that this is the best decision she has made in her life, and being a realtor is her forever job.

In Bernadeth Huertas, we find a resilient and inspiring individual who has turned challenges into opportunities, creating a life defined by hard work, compassion, and success.

“Mrs. B is the best! She took care of me during my home search and found me the perfect place. She was very patient as I presented to her the many listings I had self researched, and was then able to show me exactly what I was looking for. I love my home and Mrs B.”

“We have a very great experience selling our house with Bernadeth Huertas our agent. She sold our house for more than we expected. She is a very good and reliable agent highly recommend We only put it on the market for the weekend and had many offers. Thank you Bernadeth for selling our house.”

“Mrs. B helped my wife and I finally purchase our first home. She was always very responsive to our calls, texts and emails. She worked very hard and fought tooth and nail for us. She made us feel like we are family. We would definitely work with Bernadeth “Mrs. B” Huertas again. We highly recommend her!”

“The realtor with a heart! Mrs. B is an honest person who actually protects the interest of her clients. What sets her apart is her sincere goal to help more than anything. She is sharp, tenacious, and a problem solver all in one person. Very friendly while staying professional in all her

transactions. You wouldn’t want to work with any other other realtor once you deal with her. We love you, Mrs. B!

Until our next transaction”

“Mrs. B is definitely the best realtor we ever encountered with. She made the process of buying and selling a home such a breeze! She listens to her clients and goes above and beyond to achieve your wants and needs. We highly recommend her! Best decision to get her as our realtor!”

“One word- AMAZING. We met her in mid-February, and by the second week of March, we have closed on a property we thought was too far out of our reach. Mrs. B is a persevering real estate machine who will do everything within her capacity to help a buyer/seller achieve their goals. Despite the impossible demands this brutal real estate climate has placed on her, she made herself available to us as much as we needed her and accommodated our endless questions and concerns. She literally ran with us to a house tour the first chance we get, be it very early in the morning or in the darkness of the night. She fought for us tooth and nail to get our offers in the door, and was able to update us with our progress every step of the way.

If you want a real estate professional who can do her job competitively and yet be accessible and sensitive to the needs of her clients, there is no one else to call but Mrs. B”

Yabu Pushelberg Design

George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg founded a design studio back in 1980 that focused on interior design but has since transformed into much more. With an emphasis on mood, function, and overcoming challenges, the studio now designs everything from places and experiences to products and goods. These designs are meant to elevate where we live, love, eat, work, and play.

“Design is a compact word for possibility,” says Pushelberg. From experience working on hotels, resorts, restaurants, landscapes, and more, the team believes that problem-solving obstacles are an opportunity for creative solutions and the possibilities are truly endless.

The design duo fell into place after both growing up in Canada and attending Ryerson University in downtown Toronto, which has since been renamed Toronto Metropolitan University. The pair commented, “School is where we met, but we didn’t connect until after graduating and we were both on the hunt for studio space. We ran into one another on the street and decided to share one to cut costs.”

The cosmic twist brought about co-founding Yabu Pushelberg Design, a combination of their two last names, which has since gained a sound reputation for creating authentic designs that go beyond looks. “Our

work stems from thinking about the shared emotions people experience,” explains Yabu. “Conceptualization begins with a mood or attitude that we create in dialogue with the world. The reason we practice design is to make life look and feel more effortless for individuals.”

How a person feels entering a space can carry a lot of weight in terms of function as well as aesthetics, and Yabu Pushelberg Design inherently understands the importance of both. The team’s dedication to design has earned several honors and can be traced back to early inspirations.

Yabu notes, “I grew up surrounded by design thinking. My father was a boat builder and my mother was a seamstress. They taught me the importance of precision, tailoring, and creating with intention and integrity.” These early notions hold true throughout his work today. Similarly, Pushelberg draws on longtime influences that continue to motivate his designs.

“Our work stems from thinking about the shared emotions people experience.”

“What I have always gravitated toward is people, how they think and move through life. This almost led me to pursue hospitality, but I realized early on that design is the gateway to change. It is still what drives me to move forward.”

With their impressive collection of authentic work, the pair has been recognized among the world’s most influential design studios by Wallpaper*, Elle Decor, the Business of Fashion, and more. Along with these honors, the designers were also inducted into the Interior Design Hall of Fame in 2002.

When asked about where and how the team begins a new project, the pair commented that it starts with a story. “Everything we touch begins with a narrative that ties each element of a project together. Usually loosely based on one or two characters whose personal attributes guide the energy of the design language.”

Yabu Pushelberg Design works in a collaborative way that focuses on how the design will function down the line as well as even the smallest details. The duo is drawn toward partners and projects that push the envelope and can go beyond what’s been done before. “We have approached every single project since the studio’s beginnings this way. It works for us,” says Yabu and Pushelberg.

“Everything we touch begins with a narrative that ties each element of a project together.”

Recently, Yabu and Pushelberg worked on the unique dual-hotel property, Moxy Downtown Los Angeles and AC Hotel Downtown Los Angeles. The property is 600,000 square feet and boasts over 700 rooms for guests while offering two distinguishable experiences in a single hotel. “We wanted to introduce the Moxy state of mind to California and develop the language of the AC brand,” they said.

This property is an example of how these designers rely on a clear narrative when working, especially on larger projects that are a slow burn and can take years to bring to life.

“It was a unique opportunity to create two parallel ways of seeing Los Angeles in style and spirit. [California] is a special place that has taught us how to dream, unwind, and nurture ourselves,” says Yabu and Pushelberg. “There is a sense of freedom here that makes life sweeter, and we wanted to capture this spirit and infuse these moments throughout the design language of both hotels.”

Another demonstration of the team’s storytelling through design is the Salvatori Showroom in New York City. This award-winning Italian design company utilizes natural stone to create unique textures on walls, floors, products, and more. The 600-squaremeter showroom was designed by Yabu Pushelberg, and features multiple themed areas that showcase Salvatori pieces. The marriage between the space and products is a work of art highlighting Yabu Pushelberg Design’s collaborative efforts.

Working on unique projects often brings about individual challenges and a specific set of needs for each space. This explains how the team came to create products as well as experiences. When asked to explain their product designs, about whether they are custom items created for individual projects or part of their own line, Yabu responded, “When we conceive of products, the initial design process is often a parallel journey to interior design.” The inclusion of products is often a way to overcome a particular design obstacle.“We formulate concepts for products when we come across a common challenge, goal, or missing piece in our interior or building design projects. There is a purity to this, a blank space for innovation. It is an opportunity to blend function with form, and beauty with intention,” says Yabu.

Pushelberg agrees, “When designing a hotel, we’re often looking at an eight-plus year timeline. When designing products, we can concept, design, prototype, and then bring the product to life in a year or two.” Each product is a mini design process with a shorter production time but is equally satisfying. “It moves closer to the present moment while responding to needs in the project we work on that can launch

“We formulate concepts for products when we come across a common challenge, goal, or missing piece in our interior or building design projects. There is a purity to this, a blank space for innovation. It is an opportunity to blend function with form, and beauty with intention.”

almost a decade out. It is deeply satisfying to be producing work in both timelines and have them speak to one another,” says Pushelberg.

The nature of design is ever-changing, though each of the studio’s projects has a genuine feel that continues to shine through over the years. Their designs stay true to the team’s unique style of always moving forward. With many projects on the horizon, the designers commented on current design trends that excite them.

“We are heading into an era that values simplicity. Sophistication is embodied through natural, subtle materials that blend or complement nature. For example, plaster rather than drywall for texture, wood, and stone,” says Yabu and Pushelberg. Strongly believing the world is their oyster, the team hopes to one day work on even larger projects, such as an airport or museums, and other experiences that cannot be defined.

“The responsibility of a designer is to lead through thought and action,” says Yabu. “To see change not as a positive or a negative but as an opportunity. A designer is responsible for thinking about how the changing world can adapt and grow through time to make objects, environments, and buildings that represent change.”

Unlocking Homebuyer Opportunities in 2024

There’s no arguing this past year has been difficult for homebuyers. And if you’re someone who has started the process of searching for a home, maybe you put your search on hold because the challenges in today’s market felt like too much to tackle. You’re not alone in that. A Bright MLS study found some of the top reasons buyers paused their search in late 2023 and early 2024 were:

• They couldn’t find anything in their price range

• They didn’t have any successful offers or had difficulty competing

• They couldn’t find the right home

If any of these sound like why you stopped looking, here’s what you need to know. The housing market is in a transition in the second half of 2024. Here are four reasons why this may be your chance to jump back in.

1. The Supply of Homes for Sale Is Growing

One of the most significant shifts in the market this year is how the months’ supply of homes for sale has increased. If you look at data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), you’ll see how inventory has grown throughout 2024 (see graph below):

This graph shows the months’ supply of existing homes – homes that were previously lived in by another homeowner. The upward trend this year is clear.

This increase means you have a better chance of finding a home that suits your needs and preferences. And if the biggest reason you put off your home search was difficulty finding the right home, this is a big relief.

2. There’s More New Home Construction

And if you still don’t see an existing home you like, another big opportunity lies in the rise of new home construction. Builders have worked to increase the supply of newly built homes this year. And they’ve turned their attention to crafting smaller, more affordable homes based

on what’s most needed in today’s market. This helps address the long-standing issue of housing undersupply throughout the country, and those smaller homes also offset some of the affordability challenges you’re feeling today.

According to data from the Census and NAR, one in three homes on the market is a newly built home (see graph below):

This means that if you didn’t previously look at newly built homes as part of your search, you may have been cutting your pool of options by a third. Not to mention, some builders are also offering incentives like buying down mortgage rates to make it easier for buyers to get a home that fits their budget.

So, consider talking to your agent about what builders have to offer in your area. Your agent’s expertise on builder reputations, contracts, and more will help you weigh your options.

3. Less Buyer Competition

Mortgage rates are still hovering around 7%, so buyer demand isn’t as fierce as it once was. And when you combine that with more housing supply, you have a better chance of

avoiding an intense bidding war. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, highlights the positive trend for the latter half of 2024, saying:

“Home shoppers who persist could see better conditions in the second half of the year, which tends to be somewhat less competitive seasonally, and might be even more so since inventory is likely to reach five-year highs.”

This creates a unique opportunity for you to find a home you want to buy with less stress and at a potentially better price.

4. Home Prices Are Moderating

Speaking of prices, home prices are also showing signs of moderation – and that’s a welcome shift after the rapid appreciation seen in recent years (see graph below):

This moderation is mostly due to supply and demand. Supply is growing and demand is

easing, so prices aren’t rising as fast. But make no mistake, that doesn’t mean prices are falling – they’re just rising at a more normal pace. You can see this in the graph. The bars are still showing prices increasing, just not as dramatically as they were before.

The average forecast for home price appreciation in 2024 is for positive growth around 3% to 5%, which is more in line with historical norms. That moderation means that you are less likely to face the steep price increases we saw a few years ago.

The Opportunity in Front of You

If you’re ready and able to buy, you may find that the second half of 2024 is a bit easier to navigate. There are still challenges, but some of the biggest hurdles you’ve faced are getting better as time wears on.

On the other hand, you could choose to wait. But if you do, here’s the risk you run. As more buyers recognize the shift in the market, competition will grow again. On a similar note, if mortgage rates do come down (as forecasts say), more buyers will flood back into the market. So, making a move now helps you take advantage of the current market conditions and get ahead of those other buyers.

Bottom Line

If you’ve put your dream of homeownership on hold, the second half of 2024 may be your chance to jump back in. Let’s connect to talk more about the opportunities you have in today’s market.
