MEET Bertie

Bertie Ali-Cooke

Broker-Owner REALTOR

“Chaplain Richard Seume coined the term Gimper which is a Christian who could never be satisfied with doing anything in an average or standard way. A Gimper always gives more than expected and is very particular about all things; they can’t help themselves! They’re zealous, passionate, excellent, and committed. They are few and uncommon — THAT’S ME!”

Decorative letter B to spell Born orn and bred from 3 generations and current stakeholder in The Oranges makes Bertie an authentic local expert and skilled at relating to people of multi-realities. Her business acumen is anchored by decades of paralegal experience (transactional contracts, estate administration, and property tax appeals), construction, and interior design — a trusted advisor in every stage of a transaction. She is smart, systematically consistent, and surgical with the details. Really, Bertie is as rare and unique as her name and brings an understanding and an array of skill sets that few Brokers possess.
