Sylvie, client

"Nothing but praise for Melanie and Dieter. Knowledgeable, helpful, always available, offering great suggestions to improve the house. Dieter took charge of everything that needed to be done. They both made a stressful process go without a hitch. Wonderful team that I recommend highly."

Oak Knoll

Karen, client

"They are absolutely the best! Worked with me every step of the way. There were numerous projects that needed to be done before my house went on the market. Dieter functioned as the consummate project manager - very often onsite supervising the work. They were always available by phone - very personable as well as knowledgeable. They took all the worry off my shoulders - with a sense of humor, no less. I couldn't recommend them more highly."

"...Besides being efficient and detail-oriented, Melanie and Dieter were also a pleasure to work with: relaxed, friendly, communicative, and spirited. Without question, highly recommended."

Jerry, client

"Melanie and Dieter work as a great team each using their different skill sets to package sale preparation. Because we moved out of the area we did not used them as buying agents but I would highly recommend both for sale or purchase. Their knowledge, support and effort cannot be overstated."

Brian & Stacy, client

"Dieter and Melanie were patient and 100% supportive of us through a full year of open houses (40 or so?), four failed bids, but finally an exciting pre-emptive offer that went through successfully. They really hustled in this crazy competitive market to make us successful buyers. Then they turned around and worked their butts off to get our old house sold within six weeks of the purchase of our new home. Can't say enough about how much confidence they gave us through it all. Unlike other "big" realtors, they don't pass you off to assistants - they are personally there every step of the way. If you want a great track record, personal attention, and a great feel for the mid-Peninsula market...you should definitely consider Dieter and Melanie!"

"We highly recommended the extremely experienced team of Melanie and Dieter. They worked closely and very effectively with us to buy our first house on the peninsula (Belmont) in 2008. We were so impressed and happy with the experience and outcome that we knew that we would hire them again when it came to sell our home in 2019. We cannot say enough about their professionalism, knowledge, strategy and partnership during the home selling process. They recommended the right amount of upgrades, had connections with the best contractors, walked us seamlessly through the process, strategized on the right asking price, took the most amazing photographs to showcase the house, and worked effortlessly and tirelessly with agents and their clients to sell our house within a week for a great price. You can’t go wrong with hiring the great team of Melanie and Dieter !!! "

Neville, client

"We have worked with Dieter and Melanie on three transactions over the last 20 years. Each time we have been impressed with everything about the process. We have recommended them to friends and they have had similar experiences. They do a great job of saying what they are going to do, and doing what they say. It is honestly refreshing to see the attention to detail and good communication. As a team they provide a great balance, bringing good judgement about people and the local real estate markets to bear on the situation."

Garrett & Michelle, client

"We are forever thankful to have crossed paths with Dieter and Melanie. As cheesy as it sounds, in our minds, when we think of the word, "Realtor," we use them as our benchmark. They are professional, detail oriented, sharp and to the point. If you're anticipating dipping any toes or fingers into Peninsula Real Estate, save yourself some time and don't hesitate to check them out. Not all Realtors are the same. "

Victor & Pauline, client

"Melanie and Dieter were recommended to us quite a few years ago by the attorney for a trust of which we were the executors. They helped us sell multiple residencial properties held by the trust. It was immediately obvious to us they were not the run of the mill realtors. Their professionalism, patience and caring attitude were beyond my ability to describe. They stayed in touch with us over the years and when it came time to sell our home, we called on them. Dieter's marketing skills with a camera are incredible and Melanie's attention to detail in a sea of paper is a welcomed asset! It's refreshing to find a couple so trustworthy and caring in such a competitive environment! "

"Dieter and Melanie Hartmann are truly the best real estate team you can possibly work with on the sale of your home, or the purchase of your new home. They provided excellent advice, counsel, marketing, and service in the sale of my condo. Their service included bringing in an expert to stage my home, top notch marketing tools (Dieter takes amazing photo's showing your home at its absolute best) including pricing the home to optimize the market and then selling the home and working with you throughout the closing process. Their knowledge of the market place and how best to sale your home is unrivaled, as evidenced by the fact that my condo was on the market for just one week, garnered seven offers with the actual sale price being 23% over the asking price. The sale was completed within one month of listing the condo with virtually no issues or problems. As mentioned earlier they are the best realtors in the Bay Area and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a true "
