"Out of this world realtor - in fact, she completely restored my faith in the profession. She did a great job guiding us through the home buying process. She genuinely represents her clients and looks out for their best interests. My wife and I *loved* this one house we saw. I will never forget Judy's guidance, which said, "I recognize this house has quite a bit of romantic appeal, but you do not want to buy it for reason x, reason y, and reason z. She was right and I appreciated her thoughtful but firm advice to get us out of the house. Makes it much easier down the line when she's saying "this is a good buy." Couldn't have asked for a better realtor. She really is tops in the profession."

"We've worked with Judy for years, she helped us buy our first Palo Alto house in 2009 and then sell it and buy a larger house in 2012. In all 3 transactions, she was accessible, knowledgeable, patient, candid, and resourceful.
Judy was super patient when we first moved to California and a great partner in our buy & sell experiences. She knows everything there is to about Palo Alto, and knows all the agents, so is super connected.
Best of all, she's a great partner - friendly, open to any questions, and gives you the straight scoop; which you need when buying a house.
We still keep in touch with Judy and I've referred a number of friends of mine to her - she's the best!"

"Judy Decker is a stellar agent, and offers so much more. She has guided me through several transactions, both buying and selling, no only in the Palo Alto area but also in San Francisco and Santa Cruz. Judy is very adept at identifying opportunities and is happy to provide wisdom, without imposing her views. She has been my trusted counselor, project manager, researcher, negotiator, hand-holder, and all-around ace-in-the-hole. I cannot envision a better person to work with than Judy when it comes to residential real estate. She has earned the highest praise."
-Chris Kennerly
"Judy was an amazing professional, partner, and person as we sold our house. She was patient, kind, incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market and customer-oriented–both focused on our needs, and yet with her eye constantly on the ultimate customer (potential buyers). She listened to our concerns, constraints, aspirations, and ideas. She pushed back delicately and diplomatically when necessary, but never played the all-knowing “expert”, nor rushed us into decisions. My wife and I highly recommend Judy if you are considering buying or selling your place in the Menlo Park/Palo Alto area."
-Dana and Flavia Hovig
