"My husband and I recently realized our dream of purchasing a home in Burlingame, and the credit for our smooth and efficient journey goes to the exceptional services provided by Antoinette. Our first encounter with Antoinette was at an open house, where she assisted us in submitting our offer. Despite not winning that specific bid, her working style left a lasting impression. Antoinette's attention to detail and dedication were instrumental in our decision to choose her as our trusted realtor.
A few months later, we found ourselves in front of our dream house, thanks to Antoinette's excellent support and guidance. She quickly connected with the other agent, obtained and thoroughly reviewed disclosures, ensuring we were fully informed about any potential issues. Her responsiveness to our inquiries and commitment to addressing concerns further solidified our confidence. What truly sets Antoinette apart is the post-closing service she provides. Going above and beyond, she connected us with various trades to address and fix any issues in our new home.
We're immensely grateful for her expertise and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone embarking on their home-buying journey. Antoinette's dedication and outstanding service make her the ideal partner in the exciting journey of finding and securing your dream home."

"The Bay Area is flooded with real estate agents. Many of these agents are quite good. However, based on our 9 different buying & selling transactions with Antoinette Galindo over the past 20 years, she is without a doubt the BEST real estate agent you will find in this region. With Antoinette, it does not matter if the general market dynamics are a Sellers’ market or a Buyers’ market. Antoinette has always managed to secure the very best price on our behalf, in spite of occasionally opposing market dynamics. Preparing a home for sale or negotiating a purchase price is a common denominator for all real estate agents to learn. However, Antoinette’s extensive professional experience with many more intricate facets of real estate sales & purchasing logistics has always generated absolutely magnificent and masterful results for our benefit, every time!
As an example of Antoinette’s amazing skills, in 2020 the Bay Area was a Seller’s market. Too many Buyers & not enough inventory. We wanted to move from the Peninsula to Half Moon Bay. Within a few months, Antoinette secured a home for us in a beautiful community with heavy Buyer demand. Antoinette managed to negotiate the lowest price/sq ft of any home sold in this particular community since 2018. In 2023, we decided to sell this same property in order to upgrade to a home with coastal views. Home prices were dropping because of higher interest rates and fewer buyers. In spite of these conditions, Antoinette managed to sell our home for 6 figures over our asking price in a Buyers’ market! The 2023 Sale price then & now continues to be the highest price of any home ever sold in this special Half Moon Bay community. Our most recent and 9th transaction with Antoinette put us in our dream home with a million dollar coastal view, at below the asking price! No matter what your real estate objectives might be, I can assure you Antoinette Galindo will find a way to deliver the very best possible results to your benefit. At the very least and best of all, Antoinette will prove to be a good friend for life!"

"Antoinette is a seasoned agent who knows the market, and has incredible integrity. She is the best.
We worked with Antoinette twice in 23 years. She found our dream house in Burlingame. We knew then that if we ever moved again we would use Antoinette. Twenty three years later she sold our house. We sold our house in a downturn market. She was current with the daily-weekly market changes, strategized with us on a plan to both maximize the best selling price and constantly networked with agents, and potential clients. She worked tirelessly and gave 100% of her time. We felt we accepted an excellent offer with a 7 day close, cash offer and no contingencies."

"I grew up on Warren Road in San Mateo and my family lived in the house for 58 years. After the passing of my mother, it was time to move on and I made the difficult decision to sell our family home. I was no longer living in the Bay Area so I needed a realtor that I could trust to help advise and guide me in the right direction to bring the old house back to life for sale. In talking with a family member who was a former Bay Area realtor, she worked with and recommended Antoinette Galindo from Compass. Antoinette was described as someone that knew the Bay Area market and was qualified to support me through the process from a distance.
In February, I met with Antoinette, and I could tell that she knew the market and was a confident realtor. We talked about the market conditions which changed due to higher interest rates and what were my expectations on the price of the house, and I informed her that I was not living in the area which didn’t deter her interest in taking on this project. I refer to it as a project because I wanted to make repairs and upgrades to the house to get what I felt the property was worth. During the walk through we started to lay the groundwork for what was going to be a 3-month sprint to get the house ready to show on Memorial Day weekend.
When all the work was done Antoinette arranged a realtor walk through to create interest before the public had access. She did all the marketing and had her photographer show the inside, outside and aerial views of the property. It all looked great. Our house had its beautification makeover showing it's elegance and property size. The house looked great! It was like a “Love it or List it” episode, unfortunately, I decided to list it. We had the house open for 2 weeks and it sold on the third week above asking. I am very happy with how it all turned out and couldn’t have done it without Antoinette’s help. She did all the work and made the sale of our family home go seamlessly.
Thank you Antoinette. ;
