Bonnie Bruerd

Bonnie fell in love with SLO when her children both attended Cal Poly. After many trips to visit, it became a mission to relocate and live permanently on the Central Coast. Her son, Erik Berg-Johansen, has been with Richardson Sotheby's International Realty since 2018, and when he asked her if she wanted to work alongside him, she gave an enthusiastic “Yes!” Bonnie works as Erik’s assistant. Working together allows us to provide a high level of customer service and allows us to provide showings quickly and be readily available for both listing and selling clients. Bonnie has true enthusiasm for helping people realize their dreams of moving to the Central Coast.

Bonnie has a doctorate degree in public health and owned her own consulting company. She has professional expertise in the areas of project management, training, designing public campaigns, and program evaluation. Bonnie’s background working with people and managing detailed projects has provided for a smooth transition to her work in the real estate field.

After buying and selling many homes throughout the years, Bonnie knows that it is not just about numbers. It’s also about finding the home that feels right for you. Bonnie and her husband own a historic building in downtown SLO that was purchased as much for its tug on their emotions as it was for its rental return. Bonnie brings passion, honesty, integrity, and even a sense of humor to her work. She serves on her HOA’s Structural Architectural Committee and has a keen understanding of how Homeowner Associations and Boards operate. Bonnie is also an avid hiker, biker, and competitive pickleball player.
