Judy Bittner
Director

Raised and educated in Concord, moved to “East County” in1971 and 10 years ago relocated to Discovery Bay.

A licensed Realtor since 1973 I have always affiliated with a real estate office in Concord/Walnut Creek area but the majority of my business has always been East County.  So with age comes wisdom and affiliated with Weichert Realtors HH and Associates in Brentwood. Although I’ve made this move “east”, I still serve all of Contra Costa County.

As a long time Realtor, my specialties include

  • Listings and Sales
  • “1st time/move up” buyers and corporate relocation transferees.
  • Referral buyers and sellers
  • Area Tours
  • Training/mentoring real estate agents/brokers
  • Office management

I love being a resident of Discovery Bay and it is an honor to be not only a member of the Chamber but also on the Board.
