She was flexible, timely, friendly and took the time to explain everything to us. This was our first home purchase and Brenda made it extremely easy. She is funny and even baked cookies for us during our long house-hunting trip. After all was said and done, we feel like she is more our friend than our realtor. In addition she also has a job as a respiratory therapist at the UW hospital and understands the inner workings of healthcare and the lives of housestaff. Overall I think she is an excellent realtor."

    According to one of several people who recommended her, "When I was entertaining the idea of purchasing a home in Madison, I was quite naive about the process and realities of purchasing a home. Nevertheless, Ms. Junge was willing to educate and assist me in making the right decision given my circumstances at that time. Moreover, she did this without full assurance that I would be one of her clients. And after I had made the decision to purchase a home, Ms. Junge guided me through the process - always with my best interest at mind.

    She is certainly kind, honest, and thoroughly knowledgeable, but most importantly, it is quite obvious that she keeps her clients best interest in mind at all times."

Her knowledge of Madison and the Greater Madison Areas was especially helpful; even though we'd lived in Madison during our college days we grew to rely on her educated perspective. During our one day of availability to fly into Madison to see the 15 properties on our list, Tammy kept spirits high with her professional opinion and kind advice. We highly recommend her to anyone moving to Madison or those who have been here for years."
