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”

Introducing the Warm and Welcoming

PEACH FUZZ,

Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year

Peach fuzz” may bring to mind those soft little hairs that help to regulate body temperature while protecting your skin. Or, perhaps your rst thought is of the skin of an actual peach, whose tiny hairs separate it from its stone fruit cousin, the nectarine.

But for the next year — at least — those in interior design, fashion, merchandising, and more will likely associate peach fuzz with the “compassionate and nurturing soft peach shade conveying a heartfelt kindness” that Pantone, the global color authority, chose as its 2024 Color of the Year. PANTONE 131023 Peach Fuzz also marks the 25th anniversary of the annual distinction. A soft, pinky-orange hybrid that

looks like it would be at home in the sherbet section of the local ice cream shop, Peach Fuzz is a warm and welcoming hue that offers a “cozy sensibility (that) brings people together and enriches the soul,” says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.

The color that “echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection,” per Pantone’s news release announcing the Color of the Year, is the latest to re ect the zeitgeist. Pantone’s 2023 selection, the vibrant red, Viva Magenta, spoke to “optimism and joy,” tickling the rebellious spirit and taking Barbiecore to an even more bold and saturated level.

In 2022, Very Peri’s newly created hue — a rst for Pantone’s Color of the Year — was released at a critical period of post-COVID-19 isolation, illustrating “the fusion of modern life and how color trends in the digital world are being manifested in the physical world and vice versa”. The year prior, dual Colors of the Year, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating, spoke to “deeper feelings of thoughtfulness and optimism.”

Per Pantone, this year’s choice recognizes that, “at a time of turmoil in many aspects of our lives, our need for nurturing, empathy and compassion grows ever stronger as does our imaginings of a more peaceful future.” The company also

Designs on Peach Fuzz

Peach Fuzz’s “fresh approach to a new softness,” is twofold: the hue itself is far more subtle and neutral than is typical for Pantone in recent years (2016’s Rose Quartz excepted). You have to go back another decade to nd 2006’s creamy Sand Dollar.

The potential application is also a departure; Is it really Peach Fuzz if it’s not tactile, as in a textured wall-covering, fabric, or design accent?

“Introducing soft and cozy PANTONE 131023 Peach Fuzz into home interiors creates a welcoming ambiance…promoting feelings of gentle warmth whether appearing on a painted wall, in home décor, or acting as an accent within a pattern,” says Pantone.

In the coming months, you can expect to see a profusion of Peach Fuzz as Pantone’s in uence trickles down to design and manufacturing. In the meantime, you can take advantage of the company’s partnership with home decor brands Ruggable and Spoon ower.

Ruggable’s limited-edition capsule collection showcases the hue in three indoor rugs, a doormat, and a bathmat, in various sizes.

sought a color for 2024 that “re ected our feeling for days that seemed simpler but at the same time has been rephrased to display a more contemporary ambiance.”

Spoon ower, known for its print-on-demand wallpaper, home decor and fabric, is unveiling brand-new designs by three independent artists featuring the Color of the Year.

3 Must-Do’s When Selling Your House in 2024

If one of the goals on your list is selling your house and making a move this year, you’re likely juggling a mix of excitement about what’s ahead and feeling a little sentimental about your current home.

A great way to balance those emotions and make sure you’re con dent in your decision is to keep these three best practices in mind when you’re ready to sell.

1. Price Your Home Right

The housing market shifted in 2023 as mortgage rates rose and home price appreciation started to normalize once again. As a seller, you still need to recognize how important it is to price your house appropriately based on where the market is today. Hannah Jones, Economic Research Analyst for Realtor.com, explains:

“Sellers need to become familiar with their local market and work closely with a local agent to make

sure their listing is attractive to buyers. Buyers feeling the pressure of affordability are likely to be pickier, so a well-priced, well-maintained home is the

ticket to drumming up big demand.”

If you price your house too high, you run the risk of deterring buyers. And if you go too low, you’re leaving money on the table. An experienced real estate agent can help determine what your ideal asking price should be, so your house moves quickly and for top dollar.

2. Keep Your Emotions in Check

Today, homeowners are staying in their houses longer than they used to. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), since 1985, the average time a homeowner has owned their home has increased from 6 to 10

36

years (see graph below):

This is much more than what used to be the norm. The side effect, however, is when you stay in one place for so long, you may get even more emotionally attached to your space. If it’s the rst home you bought or the house where your loved ones grew up, it very likely means something extra special to you. Every room has memories, and it’s hard to detach from the sentimental value.

For some homeowners, that makes it even tougher to separate the emotional value of the house from fair market price. That’s why you need a real estate professional to help you with the negotiations and the best pricing strategy along the way. Trust the professionals who have your best interests in mind.

3. Staging Your Home Properly

While you may love your decor and how you’ve customized your house over the years, not all buyers will feel the same way about your vibe. That’s why it’s so important to make

sure you focus on your home’s rst impression, so it appeals to as many buyers as possible.

Buyers want to be able to picture themselves in the home. They need to see themselves inside with their furniture and keepsakes – not your pictures and decorations. As Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief Economist and Vice President of Research at NAR, says:

“Buyers want to easily en v ision themsel v es within a new home and home staging is a way to showcase the property in its best light.”

A real estate professional can help you with expertise on getting your house ready to sell.
