A driven entrepreneur, Amy Bernstein founded Bernstein Realty more than 25 years ago as a way to combine her two greatest passions – people and real estate. Bernstein holds a Bachelor of Science degree in education from The University of Texas at Austin and has also earned her Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) designation. Bernstein’s knowledge regarding current trends of the local real estate market and her unmatched negotiation skills make her an invaluable resource to her clients. She is also consulted regularly by the local media, including the Houston Chronicle, Houston Business Journal and Houston’s NBC affiliate, Channel 2.

Bernstein spearheaded her company’s growth by making exceptional service to clients the highest priority. As a result, the company enjoys an unusually high number of repeat and referral business. Because of her dedication, hard work and willingness to go the extra mile, Bernstein has been recognized multiple times by the Houston Business Journal as one of the top 25 residential real estate professionals based on sales production. She has also been acknowledged numerous times by Houston Association of Realtors as one of the Association’s top producers with the highest number of total sales and dollar volume sales, an honor that is based on both buyer and seller side transactions.

“The real estate business is exciting each and every day. We have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of so many, which is an honor and a privilege. As the market continues to evolve, so do we as a company, as we continually try to grow our business, providing high levels of service to our clients, and remembering to give back to our industry. “
