About Bernie and Chris Shoemaker

Our Client-First Philosophy

Let us introduce ourselves!  We live and work in Waterford and the surrounding areas. Chris is origianlly from St. Joseph, Michigan and Bernie was born in San Francisco but he has lived most of his life in Michigan since his family moved here when he was a child. 

 

When we're not working you might find us volunteering with the Meals on Wheels program at the Waterford Senior Center.  Bernie loves to fish and is getting to be quite the enthusiast. I (Chris) make jewelry in my spare time and love to travel.  One of my favorite places to go is Williamsburg, Virginia.  Last year I discovered that one of my old friends from Ann Arbor lives only 40 miles from there and we were able to  reconnected in April of this year. I'm headed there again in September for another visit. Bernie usually travels to the UP in November for an annual hunting/camping trip with his buddies from St. Joe.

 

Bernie comes from a large family and most of his brothers and sisters are in this area.  My brother, Richard, lives in Seattle and is a well known massage therapy and instructor.  My parents still live in St. Joseph and we visit them often.

 

We are Associate Brokers with National Realty Center and also REALTORS® and listing specialists. Being REALTORS® isn't just a career for us, it's our life! We love what we do and we've been helping home buyers and sellers in the Oakland County area since the 1970's. Our office is located in downtown Birmingham but we also work out our home, preferring to meet our clients in their home or at a local coffee shop. As REALTORS®, we help people navigate through a major transaction that is likely foreign to them, guide and teach them, and share our knowledge. Most of all, as REALTORS®, our job is to be compassionate and understanding through this often stressful and confusing time in a person's life. Michigan and Oakland County have had more than their fair share of hardship over the last 10 years. In tough economic times like these, our sincere desire to help others has given us the ability to stay in a business we love.
