Kenneth A. Bernhard
Kenneth A. Bernhard is a seasoned real estate professional and partner at Grandview Homes, a prominent real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition and rehabilitation of residential real estate properties. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Ken began his career as a custom home builder in Saint Charles, IL, where he successfully owned and operated his business, establishing a reputation for quality and integrity.
In response to the challenges posed by the Great Recession, Ken and his partner, Tom Detelich, founded Grandview Homes. Recognizing the urgent need for affordable housing during difficult economic times, they developed a unique business model focused on purchasing residential real estate that required improvements to meet current market expectations. Over the years, Ken and Tom have successfully purchased and sold thousands of residential properties across multiple states, demonstrating their commitment to revitalizing communities and providing quality housing solutions.
What Ken finds most rewarding about his work at Grandview Homes is the opportunity to help individuals and families facing financial and emotional stress. By providing compassionate support and effective solutions, his team offer relief to those navigating tough times. Ken takes great pride in the positive impact Grandview Homes has on the communities we serve, and I am inspired by the heartfelt testimonials from clients who have benefited from our assistance. He believes that the challenges they address are unique and meaningful, allowing them to create lasting change in the lives of others.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Ken is deeply committed to giving back to the community. He has actively supported various charitable organizations, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, M.S. and initiatives for veterans. Ken’s passion for philanthropy reflects his belief in the importance of contributing to the greater good and making a positive difference in the lives of those around him.
With a strong foundation in real estate and a heart for service, Ken continues to lead Grandview Homes with a vision of compassion, integrity, and community empowerment.
