Testimonials
We met Hope Broderick and Ruth Woodruff after our neighbors sold their home with the help of Hope and Ruth. Our family moved out of Bay area and we were somewhat distracted with our move. Hope and Ruth acted as if they were preparing their own homes to sell. No detail was overlooked. We were SO thrilled with how they presented our home to the market as well as the pricing and timing of the sale. We were very happy with the amount of "eyes" on our home during the open house and the ease of the closing process. Hope and Ruth also assisted us with closing up loose ends, i.e., packages, mail, closing utilities, etc. They have a professional demeanor which brings peace of mind to the process of selling a home. We lived in our home for 16 years where we raised our 3 children. It was an emotional event which Hope and Ruth treated with respect and exceptional consideration.
Hope Broderick and I first met in early 2020, just prior to the pandemic. My plan was to sell the Oakland home I’d owned since 1993 and relocate to Los Angeles. There were lots of pieces to organize – prune, pack, move, sell. Hope immediately helped me build a smooth, workable plan. But then the pandemic put everything on hold. When we resumed in 2021, Hope and her team were ready to kick things into high gear. And once again, Hope made it all easy, at every step streamlining everything from legal documents to the staging process to financial logistics, organizing an effective listing and so much more. By the time we reached the selling stage, I’d already moved. In theory, that might make selling complicated, but thanks to Hope and her team, we didn’t miss a beat. The staging was beautiful. The listing was flawless. Swiftly, offers were generated and we were able to sell my home rapi…

The listing was flawless. Swiftly, offers were generated and we were able to sell my home rapidly, at a higher price than we’d listed it for. Through all of this, Hope and her team were exceptionally organized when it came to guiding me through various stages of paperwork. It would be impossible to imagine a better team guiding someone through the home-selling process. Each stage: thoroughly first-rate.
We’re so grateful to have worked with Hope. She was amazingly kind and patient as we spent a year viewing houses until we finally found a place that we loved. When we did, Hope moved at lightning speed to quickly seal the deal on the purchase. Hope was also amazing to work with when it came to the sale of our old place. She has a great eye for design and a keen sense of what modifications are worthwhile. In three weeks, Hope and her team performed tasteful improvements and quality repairs that significantly increased the value of our house many times over the cost of the improvement/repair. Whenever we told other agents that we were working with Hope, without exception, we were told of their respect and admiration for her, and as one of them told us — Hope sets the bar. We couldn’t agree more.
We call Hope “The Dream Maker” at our house. After a 4 year out-of-state stint my wife and I came back to the Bay Area terrified of the price of housing. She said to stretch a bit and she was right. Three years and one child later Hope made the impossible happen again by finding us an eager and flexible buyer for our house while locating a bigger house in a better school district all within a 4-day stretch. Twelve months into the new house Hope is always available for questions or advice on remodeling even though we may never move again.
I met Hope at an open house while visiting from Chicago. Across the miles, she helped me find a home that I loved and counseled me throughout the process. I was a first-time homebuyer, and Hope took extra time with me during every visit to educate and reassure me; it was exactly what I needed. After moving into the property, Hope was available for renovation and design advice, which was extremely helpful. When the time came to sell my home, Hope was supportive every step of the way. She supervised repairs and went above and beyond my expectations as both a Realtor® and a friend. Mostly because of her savvy advice and foresight, the house sold for a price considerably above my expectations. I do not believe this would have been possible without Hope Broderick and am extremely appreciative of her enthusiasm, honest character, and tremendous work ethic.

We came to Hope for help to sell our home quickly and profitably in a tough market. They used their design experience, professional connections, and knowledge of the market to help us make our house really stand out. The response was amazing; we received multiple offers and accepted an offer over the asking price. They were unfailingly calm, gracious and kind to us and to our buyers, which made for a very smooth transaction. When it came time for us to buy, they were equally knowledgeable and gracious, allowing us to land an amazing house at a great price. They even helped us with design ideas for our new place! We can’t thank Hope and Rebecca enough for their knowledge, guidance, kindness, patience, and kindness.
We have always turned to Hope’s expertise when selling our homes. In fact we’ve never considered hiring any other Realtor®. Her experience and knowledge of the real estate market make her a valuable asset to home sellers and buyers. Her energy is infectious and her market awareness is always right on the money. She helped us turn average homes into spectacular homes with her keen sense of design, which has resulted in a faster sale and a greater profit. She has an incredible work ethic and an excellent reputation among her peers as an exceptionally professional Realtor®, we personally have loved working with Hope and recommend her to all our friends and family.
Working with Hope has been amazing. Other Realtors® didn’t “get” us – where we are in life, what our goals are, our style, our price range, etc. Hope did. She didn’t waste our time with houses that we didn’t like or in neighborhoods we weren’t interested in. She knows the area and she knew where to take us. And when we sold our first house, she guided us through the staging and selling process. We got over 15 serious offers on our house, and sold it for much more than we hoped for. And for buying our second home, her experience and relationships with other brokers was invaluable. And to top everything, she’s sweet, funny and charming.
We strongly believe we wouldn’t be in our house if it weren’t for Hope. Hope’s offer strategy and personal approach to the buying process provided us the most attractive offer to the seller. Additionally, Hope extended herself by helping us obtain estimates during the closing process for work we wanted done immediately after close due to our tight moving schedule. She was and continues to be a great resource for advice. She truly has her clients’ best interest in mind!
