CJ Brasiel, Broker Associate, CHS, CDPE®, SRES®, GREEN®

"We were looking to buy a new home in the San Francisco Bay area having just moved from Colorado. CJ came highly recommended to us from another source. She is an absolutely wonderful person to work with. She is timely, responsive, knowledgeable, hard-working, flexible, personable, sincere, and full of integrity. She always put our needs and concerns above all else and truly cared about what we wanted in a home.We found a beautiful home that we are thrilled about and look forward to working with her again in the future.

"I would like to thank you for the fantastic job you did while selling my house. You kept in close contact with my husband, Darrell, and me through the whole process. Even if I called you at night on a Sunday you always returned my calls promptly. You were aware of the current market and used all selling methods including the Web to present my house very effectively.At times I was discouraged but you always had a positive attitude. Our prospective buyers were being very demanding but you worked hard to solve each issue as it came up. There was some particular information we needed and I know you spent hours at the County offices and at home to provide that information. I do not think any other real estate agent could have achieved that because it was extremely complicated.There were times I cried (because I had been in my home for 41 years) and times we laughed our heads off and, again, I really appreciate the great job you did for us.B.P......"

"I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with C.J. Brasiel. Throughout the entire home sale process, CJ was professional, conscientious, and motivated. I often felt as though I was her only client. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to short sale my home, but right from the start CJ was very informative and made sure I understood the entire process. She worked diligently with the bank to make sure the house was priced correctly and consequently the sale went through without incident. She was able to take a very difficult time in my life and turn it in to a positive experience. Thank you, CJ, for all of your help and guidance. You are the best and I would gladly recommend you to anyone wishing to sell a home."

"This is a letter in praise of our realtor CJ Brasiel. In all of my dealing with realtors I have never met one that has worked as hard for her client as she did. She was honest, forthright, kind, understanding and most of all thorough. She made all of our options very clear and advised us what would be best for us during the whole process. She handled all of our questions with the buyer and the bank quickly and responsibly. There was never a time where I felt that I did not trust her. She made a great deal for us in a very difficult time and I truly appreciate all she that has done for my family and myself. If you need a realtor, without question I can highly recommend her. "

"Working with CJ on the purchase of our home made all the difference when it came to crunch time! Her understanding of the market, and how sales go in these odd economic times, was the essential key to closing the deal on our new home. She knew exactly how to navigate the waters of the bank-owned/short-sale markets. Without her knowledge and patience, we would have not had the opportunity to purchase the right house and the best price. We are planning on being in our home for quite some time, but if the need arises, we will definitely be working with CJ again. We solidly recommend CJ to our friends or anyone looking to buy or sell their home."

"CJ was a pleasure to work with; she knows the market like the back of her hand and thoroughly manages every step along the way. She kept us in the loop about everything going on, and made the process a lot smoother for us. There is no denying that she truly cares about what her clients want and she will do what it takes to make it happen. She most definitely goes above and beyond for her clients. We could not have found a better agent to make our transition into homeownership. "

"A good friend referred C.J. Brasiel at Fireside Realty, to me when I decided to sell my house. She has been so energetic, efficient, and charming during this time, it’s been impossible to think of her as a less than a longtime confidante. Her conscientious endeavors to improve the house as if were her own helped greatly in the positive exposure it received. The photography of all views of the house enhanced the most attractive aspects drawing attention to it both on the internet and in the information box posted on the lawn. Kudos to CJ. She’s a wonderful asset to Fireside Realty in the Willow Glen area and her website gave my house great exposure all over the Bay Area (and even around the United States). I can’t think of anyone better to represent me, or anyone else in the sale of their most important possession – your home."

"CJ Brasiel is a real-estate agent who truly knows the housing market. After six months of searching for the ideal condominium that fit our needs at the right price, CJ negotiated a complex short sale through to close of escrow with ease and professionalism. As a knowledgeable and very capable buyer's agent she guided us through the extensive contract process, contingency period, inspections, and appraisal with confidence and expertise. At closing she clarified any final questions we had and then wow, home ownership!Her tenacity, patience, punctuality, good humor made the process of home ownership fun and achievable. She returned every call, answered every question, managed and coordinated both the lender's and seller's requirements into the final sales agreement. She is there every step of the way. She is more than a real-estate agent, she will be your advocate and she goes above and beyond. Then we worked on selling my old house. Her suggestions for improving the property to get the best price were spot on and she was really helpful with names of contacts who were reliable and did a great job. The pre-marketing also worked well to get exposure in the neighborhood and with other realtors.The bottom line is that I had an offer before the first open house! Who could ask for anything else? Finally, my experience with CJ was more than positive, as she understands how stressful, joyful, emotional and important this time is for a family. She does everything she can to make sure the experience goes smoothly. I highly recommend her as a top-notch realtor."
