Charlotte Thompson picked her tag line doggedly different because of her determination to get the job done. Albeit buying a house or selling one, the experience will be pleasant, the process will be completed professionally, communication lines will remain open at all times, and the service provided will be next to none!

Not only will we thoroughly discuss all aspects of buying or selling a home before hand, we will continue to review them so there will be no misundestandings. Communication is paramount. Service is paramount. Clients are paramount!

Charlotte's professional affiliations reinforce her determination to supply all clients with only up-to-date legislation under the strictest code of ethics. She currently belongs to The San Jose Real Estate Board, California Association of Realtors and The National Association of Realtors.


It is important to Charlotte and Baxter that they give back to the community that supports them. At the close of each transaction a contribution will be made to the Canine Companions for Independence, a wonderful non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly-trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships.

And when it comes to fun Charlotte enjoys her family, golf, tennis, gardening and daily workouts at the gym.

Determination, honesty, and professionalism make up Doggedly Different. We are a fresh approach to real estate, and we want to be your Realtor!

Baxter, a nine year old Bassett Hound, is Charlotte's grand dog and he is all ears! The art of listening is a learned characteristic that keeps clients coming back. Charlotte listens to your dreams, and helps make them come true. Baxter, on the other hand, listens for food to hit his bowl! But, he's real sweet.

Bax is second in a line of older Bassetts that Charlotte's son and daughter-in-law have adopted from local humane shelters. He likes to eat, sleep, EAT and go on walks!
