MERLE BRUNO has received the National Association of Realtors e-PRO designation to use the most current computer and Internet marketing and social networking tools, and she has the SRES designation--Senior Real Estate Specialist. She keeps clients up-to-date on the marketing of their homes and their searches for new property. Merle worked at Hampshire College for over 38 years where she was on the Natural Science faculty and occasionally served as dean. She served on the board of the Hitchcock Center for the Environment for 6 years as they developed and built a Living Building--the most sustainable and healthy building design known today. Through knowledge of the academic world in the Pioneer Valley Merle is tied into many local populations who are first time buyers or who are either new to the area or expanding or paring down their residential needs. Until recently, Merle partnered in real estate with her husband Peter Vincent who has been a REALTOR® in the Valley for 30 years and before that worked as an energy conservation consultant and residential contractor. Peter has retired from active real estate to spend more time hiking, biking, and golfing, but he is still retains his real estate license and is around to provide advice, support, and referrals.
Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
I had the pleasure of working with Merle Bruno over the past year to find my first dream home. She is patient, knowledgeable, appropriately honest, punctual, prompt, and is most importantly, very friendly. As a first time home buyer, I knew nothing about the home buying process, or about homes in general. She patiently educated me and helped me find the home of my dreams. I never had a question left unanswered, and I never had to wait long for a response (whether in an email or call). I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. I highly recommend her and will continue to work with her in the future.
Merle and Peter made a perfect match between us and a property by understanding what we wanted even better than we did. They know well each property which made the search very efficient. Thanks to their experience, the process was smooth from day one through closing. No drama! No delay. Win-win.
