Our representative is Christian Deckert, who is attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating. All transactions generally require follow up and attention, and their diligence has resulted in successful closings. As we are 1200 miles away from Great Barrington, buying and selling require a relationship of trust. I trust and rely on Berkshire Property Agents and Christian Deckert.

Kate Lascar (of Berkshire Property Agents) is a stellar real estate agent. From the moment she took…read moreus on as clients, she was proactive in helping us find our perfect vacation home. She started off by asking us a few simple questions and quickly followed up with a weekend itinerary of showings that exactly fit our needs and preferences (including many listings we didn't previously find on Zillow). It was a high-yield, organized, and efficient way to see several different properties throughout the Berkshires. At each property, Kate was helpful in pointing out both positives and negatives, and didn't apply any pressure to submit an offer, despite the fact that it took a large chunk of her time to show us so many properties on Memorial Day Weekend. After our short time together, we found the property we wanted, submitted an offer, negotiated a great final price, and closed in ~6 weeks (again, thanks to her efficiency). In addition, Kate has a knack for design and we'll be enlisting her services to help us fill the house before we use it. In summary, Kate is knowledgeable, efficient, and extremely approachable. She made buying our second home simple and pain free.

Her joy and zeal is so contagious and every time we were with her we had so much fun! Inviting someone to witness your love can be intimidating and Erica made us both feel so comfortable and at home. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful for meeting Erica. Like has been said by so many, we can't thank Erica enough for all that she did for us. She far exceeded any expectations we had as our wedding photographer. I found myself calmed by her when I was so stressed trying to plan a wedding in the middle of a crazy year. She was so sure that everything would turn out perfect and she couldn't have been more right. I kept saying "wow we are so lucky to have Erica as part of our team!" She went far above and beyond. Her expertise and attention to every detail was incredible- making us both feel like our love story was so special. Her passion was seen and felt throughout our whole wedding and captured in all of our photos. And our photo reveal after our wedding was so, so fun! Sergio and I felt like we were just spending time with a friend as we re-experienced our special day. I could look at all of our photos for hours. Erica, we can't wait for you to be a part of all of the special chapters in our lives- there is no one else we would love there capturing it all and creating timeless photos. Thank you!

From our very first…read moremeeting, they were incredibly attentive and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. We scheduled multiple planning sessions, and each time they showed up prepared, thoughtful, and ready to offer expert advice to help bring our vision to life. On the day of the wedding, their setup was flawless--everything from the lighting and draping to the microphones and tech was on point. The ambiance they created was exactly what we hoped for, and we were able to fully trust them to take care of every detail. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond--not just for us, but for everyone involved. They worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and even stepped in to help our DJ with last-minute tech needs without skipping a beat. Their calm, can-do attitude made such a difference and gave us total peace of mind. Troy and his team are true professionals who care deeply about their work, and it shows. We're so grateful for everything they did and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a team that's reliable, talented, and goes the extra mile to make your event unforgettable.

Beth painted my vacation house last year and I'm very proud to recommend her work. She was the…read moremiddle of three bids, but had the most careful estimate and the best interaction, by far. We felt comfortable with her sensitivity to our concerns - which were many. My wife has a fine eye for color, so the mix and application had to be just right. We're also concerned about paint odors and potential damage to our vintage woodwork, period flooring and landscapes. Beth put us at ease on all issues with her professionalism and good nature. Finally, and most importantly, she did a great job. The crew started and ended on time. There was no damage to anything (aside from some unavoidable shrub movement - but we were expecting that) and they cleaned up after themselves impeccably. This was a job well done. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

A salesperson, Dave, spent a long time with us and helped us pick out a slab. Small purchase, but a lot of help. If you like wood this is the place to visit. Phil A.

I ordered 2 slabs from Berkshire Products, Inc. When I called to place my order, I asked the…read moresaleslady what the moisture content of the wood was (this is important - I can't use a slab that has more than a 9% moisture content). The saleslady told me the slabs had a moisture content of 6-8%. So, I placed my order. When I received the slabs, I checked their moisture content with my moisture meter. The moisture content was as high as 11% in one of the slabs and 14.3% in the other (ridiculously high). Just to be sure my moisture meter was accurate, I took both slabs to a local business that sells wood in Nashville, TN (where I live) and asked them if they would double check the moisture content of the slabs. They got the exact same readings I did: 11-14.3%. I called Berkshire and spoke with a lady named Allison. I told her about the moisture content in the wood and told her that the saleslady told me the moisture was 6-8% (not even close). Allison told me to ship the slabs back to Berkshire so they could put the slabs back in the kiln. I did that! A month later, Allison called me and told me my slabs were dry (6-8% she told me) and they would be shipping them back to me in the morning. Yesterday, I received the slabs and checked the moisture of both slabs. Slab #1: 6-10%. Slab #2: 9-11.8%. This morning, I took both slabs back to the place I took them last time and they double checked my moisture content: Same Results. I now have 2 slabs that have inconvenienced me beyond explanation (picking them up at the carriers, uncrating them, checking their moisture content, taking them somewhere to double check the moisture content readings, re-crating them, taking them back to the carriers, picking them back up again, uncrating them, checking the moisture content, taking them somewhere that double checked the moisture content readings.... enough.) Ordering these slabs from Berkshire has been a nightmare. I certainly won't be purchasing anymore wood from Berkshire Products. Awful.
