Bern Certified Pros 

Vendor Network Disclosure

At Bern Management, we are committed to delivering the highest quality service to the communities and properties we manage. As part of this commitment, we have established the Bern Certified Pros (BCP) program — a curated network of third-party vendors and service providers who have demonstrated a strong track record of quality, reliability, and professionalism.

What is the Bern Certified Pros (BCP) Program?

BCP is a network of independent contractors, trades, and service professionals who have been carefully vetted by Bern Management based on licensing, insurance, reputation, service quality, and industry experience. These vendors are available to support the needs of the properties we manage, from maintenance and repairs to specialized capital projects.

Participation in BCP is voluntary for vendors and subject to ongoing performance and compliance standards.

Financial Disclosure

Clients should be aware that Bern Management may receive an administrative fee or other financial benefit from certain vendors participating in the Bern Certified Pros program.

How does this work?
By joining BCP, vendors gain direct access to bid opportunities and introductions to a broad network of managed properties — significantly reducing their need to invest in marketing, advertising, and other business development efforts.

Rather than incurring high external costs to find and secure new clients, vendors are presented with qualified project opportunities through Bern Management. A portion of the savings vendors realize from reduced marketing and acquisition expenses is then allocated to Bern Management through an administrative fee. This fee helps offset the internal costs of vetting vendors, monitoring compliance, coordinating projects, and maintaining the quality and responsiveness of the BCP network.

Importantly, this financial arrangement:

• Does not impact the service pricing offered to clients

• Does not compromise Bern Management’s obligation to act solely in the best interests of the properties we manage
  
  

Client Choice

Clients are under no obligation to use vendors from the Bern Certified Pros network. Boards of Directors, owners, and authorized client representatives maintain complete freedom to select any vendor they choose, whether from the BCP roster or independently. Bern Management supports client choice and will work collaboratively with any qualified service provider selected.

The BCP program is offered solely as a resource to streamline vendor selection and promote confidence in service quality.

Our Commitment

Bern Management remains fully committed to:

• Acting in the best interests of the properties we manage

• Ensuring full transparency in all vendor relationships

• Maintaining the highest standards of quality, compliance, and integrity in vendor recommendations

• Supporting our clients' right to free vendor choice at all times
