Brigitte ROCKS! I just want to say  THANK YOU again for the wonderful awesome job you did for us. You are outstanding in your field and I am grateful that you came into our lives. These were difficult times for us and we couldn’t have done this without you. We always remember you fondly!   Tina C. Danville (Sold Danville Home)

Brigitte, I once said to you that all realtors are pretty much the same and you somewhat took offence to my statement. Well, we moved out of state and left you in charge of selling our house. We were impressed with the way you kept us informed every step of the way, the first class marketing you did, the way you left no stone unturned to sell the house. When our neighbor said to us that while we were gone he had never seen a realtor work so hard, we already knew that you were the best! Thank you, Bob B.  (Bought & Sold w/Brigitte)

Your expertise and knowledge of what it would take to sell our house, showed from the first time we met and discussed everything to the day we sold. We want to express our gratitude of thanks for the hard work you did for us. We loved the staging! Our house never looked so good!    Ken & Lottie Schneider, Pleasanton -  Sold & Purchased new construction with Brigitte 

Brigitte, we thank you and this comes with sincere appreciation!  Austin, Tammy, Tia & I wanted to thank you for all your efforts in selling our house and finding us this lovely home. We really love it here!  Our girls remember you quite often, whenever we pass by your office. We will recommend you to all of our family and friends. We hope you will stop by to see us sometime soon! P.D.S, Dublin

Brigitte goes above and beyond. Always! She is amazing. Ask her for our phone number if you would like a reference. Greg & Kelly Pribble – San Ramon (Bought & Sold w/Brigitte)

"As first-time home buyers, we were so grateful to have met Brigitte Huntemann. After speaking with several Realtors, Brigitte's industry savvy, insightful feedback, and warmth won us over. Despite our fears about the complexities of the homebuying process, Brigitte patiently guided us at every turn, always remaining a few steps ahead. Instead of pressure, we felt encouragement--believing that Brigitte honestly kept our best interest at heart. She educated us about the market, the pros and cons of various neighborhoods, the documents we'd need to prepare, and a host of details we'd never even considered. On our first weekend out to do home tours, we found our house. Brigitte had listened to our needs and scoured the market for the best homes in our price range, bringing us exactly what we wanted. One month--and what seemed like a million phone calls, faxes, and home inspections--later, Brigitte met us "at home" to give us the keys. Those 30 days may have been a panicked whirlwind for us as "property virgins," but Brigitte's patience with our antics and diplomacy with the selling party made it all happen. If we are ever fortunate enough to buy again, we hope Brigitte will agree to represent us." -Bill and Wendy, Livermore

Your patience and your enthusiasm to our every inquiry is what made you stand out from others in your profession. What also impressed me is your frank assessment of each property that we showed interest in. Which in turn made us come to the conclusion that you are sincerely trying to help us find the best property that meet our expectations and not just the commission! You exceed your clients expectations; continue to do so! Joseph Low, Global Planning Leader - Pleasanton

"great service... always there when a good property is coming to market... kept us informed and updated about houses that fit our requirements... a worthwhile and satisfying experience in finding our first home... when we are ready to trade up we will be calling on Brigitte again..."  ~ Pikesh & Chinar, Pleasanton

We first met Brigitte at an open house she was hosting in Pleasanton. We immediately liked her, she was calm, relaxed and made us feel comfortable while we checked out the house, without being pushy and bombard us with questions like we had previously been by other realtors. She was very informative and helpful, and so when we decided we wanted to make an offer on that house we knew she would be the person we wanted to work with. She showed us a few other comparable homes so we could make a decision and see if the one we had set our heart on was indeed the one.

We are a young family and first time home buyers in US, and we were very nervous and didn't know much about what involves buying a house to start with. The Pleasanton area was also new to us so there were lots of questions from us. Brigitte made all the process simple and easy and we felt she was a person we could trust and rely on on such a serious issue. She was always very responsive and immediately answered all questions, and made us feel at ease. 

She is a wonderful resource of information about all other things related to buying a home, she was the one to introduce us to great other service providers, like the different companies we used to get all the various inspections needed or contractors. She handled all our paperwork, she is very organized and knowledgeable, and so 10 days later after first meeting her, we were happy owners of our dream house. Even after finalizing our home purchase, Brigitte still continues to help us every time we ask her, sometimes even without even asking her, she is such a wonderful person to work with and we would definitely work with her on our next real estate needs, as well as recommending her to all our friends and family. 

Besides that she will always feel like a friend and can't wait to invite her over for tea once we move in our new home. Good luck in finding your dream home! A Z, Pleasanton, March 2019

"we were so pleased with all the support Brigitte provided us during a very difficult escrow. Without her, we're not sure if we would have closed on the property. We can't say enough good things about her!"

Dailey Family

I want to take a minute to thank you for everything you have done for us over these past few years. We were very fortunate to have found a really great realtor, in addition to a very dear friend. We truly appreciate all your efforts, patience and most of all your understanding how emotional the whole experience is to sell and buy a home. Without this, we would never have had the inside to have found our beautiful home that we cannot even imagine living in now. May you have continued success and god bless.  - The Daileys

Brigitte understood our needs perfectly. She is a true professional, very knowledgeable and a marketing and negotiation expert in her field. She helped us under difficult circumstances and we are truly grateful.  - M. & H. Arolfo– Pleasanton - Sold house in Pleasanton
