Our Story

In 2018 Bernardo Vallarino was approached by a Deaf costumer and after researching how he could help his client he became aware of the vast inequities that exist in real estate for DHH individuals. He then took on the task of finding ways to bridge the gaps that exist between the existing real estate industry and the DHH community. In 2020 KW-Signs opened to the public with the help of the Deaf Action Center, TCC's interpreter training program, and induvial members from the Deaf community. Currently, KW-Signs has a nationwide network in 21 states, and is recognized as one KW's Communities. We are very proud of our achievements and feel confident on fulfilling our goal of transforming the real estate industry in the US into an ASL-accessible one with the help of our KW family.
