Bernadette Somera — the 'Realtor in Red' — a beloved Chula Vista REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker West since 2003 — has hand-selected A SMART MOVE as the preferred moving partner for clients. You deserve nothing less.
Bernadette Somera — known affectionately as the ‘Realtor in Red’ — is one of Chula Vista’s most beloved and accomplished real estate professionals. Licensed since 2003 and affiliated with Coldwell Banker West for over 21 years, Bernadette has been guiding buyers and sellers with the same passion that first inspired her when she purchased her own first home with her husband in 2001. That personal experience — the joy, the complexity, and the emotional weight of it — never left her, and it shows in how deeply she cares for every client she serves.
Bernadette’s unwavering work ethic is deeply rooted in her upbringing. Her father served in the US Navy, and her mother had a 40-year career as a compassionate nurse — values of service, integrity, and dedication that Bernadette carries into every transaction. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from San Diego State University, giving her a strong analytical foundation that complements her natural gift for human connection.
Highly skilled in negotiations and deeply connected within the real estate community, Bernadette has a proven track record of getting her buyers’ offers accepted and securing top dollar for her sellers. She believes in real estate as a vehicle for financial growth and security — and she is committed to helping every client build wealth through the biggest investment of their lives.
Bernadette takes pride in detailed communication and stays connected with her clients long after closing — fostering lasting relationships that extend far beyond the deal, ultimately evolving into a sense of family. Her referral to A SMART MOVE is a natural extension of that commitment to the complete client experience.
From iconic La Jolla blufftop estates to LA compounds, Bernadette Somera transactions represent the pinnacle of Southern California luxury real estate.

Bernadette Somera has built a reputation in Chula Vista and greater San Diego on one principle: clients deserve the absolute best — not just during the transaction, but at every step of the journey. That standard governs every vendor and every referral. A SMART MOVE has earned that association.
I only refer vendors I would use myself. A SMART MOVE has earned that trust — move after move, client after client. They show up, they communicate, and they never cut corners. That is the standard I hold.
