Our History

History We made opportunity knock 1991: We opened our doors in the Greater Toronto Area, and the country was in the middle of an economic recession. Houses weren’t selling. Developers were nervous. But, having orchestrated the marketing for Toronto’s largest homebuilder for over a decade, pressure was not uncommon. In the early days of No Vacancies we set out to get marketing done on a budget, and help builders turn their dollars faster. It worked. 1994: We had 24 active clients both public and private. Projects big and small were in our portfolio and we focused on those where we could have the most fun and make a real difference. 1996: Expansion continued throughout the western United States with clients like Del Webb, Standard Pacific and Centex adding to the roster. 1998: We moved into larger offices in Walnut Creek, California. Our client list was an equal balance of private and public builders — Florsheim Homes, Kiper Development and SummerHill Homes rounded out our portfolio. 2004: Family was calling so we opened an East Coast office in Simsbury, Connecticut to expand our client base to both coasts. Now we bring both tradition and innovation to our practice and play in the major population centers of the country – where the real estate markets are most dynamic. 2005: Updating our name to The Bernard Partnership, we often aligned more closely with developer beginning very early in the land acquisition process and working on both feasibility and marketing efforts. 2006: 15 years of business later, our team has garnered more than 100 industry awards and accolades including Professional Builder Magazine Design Awards Builder Magazine Design Awards Gold Nugget Awards Elan Awards MAME Awards Best in American Living Awards 2009: Persevering during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, we helped builders to re-tool, cut costs and shutter projects waiting for a better market. The rental market is in full swing, and more customers choose this housing option. 2010: Our clients revitalized dated product lines and introduced more affordable communities to the market. It's back to basics and doing marketing on a shoe string budget. On-line innovations are in full swing. 2011: Celebrating 20 years in business meant that the doors were still open. Inner circle friends and colleagues share stories of how to survive the economy and we support each other. 2014: New projects are coming out of the ground, landplans are dusted off, and we mark 10 years as a bi-coastal business. Bringing knowledge of multiple markets to the table helps generate ideas for innovative product lines and programs. 2015: Marketing plans combine traditional and internet media; projects become more mixed use and the days of just rolling product off the shelf are over. Customers are more lifestyle driven than ever and the millennials finally are coming into the market.
