Testimonials

This Spring, my wife and I decided to "downsize". We built our home in Blackhawk twenty-one years ago. We engaged Joanna Janas to handle both the sale of our existing property and the purchase of a new one. We quickly identified a home we wanted to purchase. In an extremely seller-friendly market, Joanna used her expertise and knowledge of the market to structure our offer so not only was it competitive, it included safeguards to give us a better chance of getting an accepted offer. We were elated that it was (accepted). A less savvy agent would have not made it happen. The process of selling our home could not have gone better. Joanna immediately "took charge" and presented clear directives about timing and presentation. She utilizes a minimalist approach to readying a home to be listed for sale.

This Spring, my wife and I decided to "downsize". We built our home in Blackhawk twenty-one years ago. We engaged Joanna Janas to handle both the sale of our existing property and the purchase of a new one. We quickly identified a home we wanted to purchase. In an extremely seller-friendly market, Joanna used her expertise and knowledge of the market to structure our offer so not only was it competitive, it included safeguards to give us a better chance of getting an accepted offer. We were elated that it was (accepted). A less savvy agent would have not made it happen. The process of selling our home could not have gone better. Joanna immediately "took charge" and presented clear directives about timing and presentation. She utilizes a minimalist approach to readying a home to be listed for sale. She employs an interior designer and has a large inventory of her own furniture and accessories which are bought into the home. In addition, she replaced light fixtures, etc. in order to provide a fresh look. Early on, she provided us with a desired listing date. Having a large home (we have six children) there was a lot of work to be done to get it ready to be listed. Joanna was with us every step of the way. She has developed close relationships with tradesmen who are not only talented but polite. prompt and reasonable. We utilized carpenters, electricians, plumbers, carpet cleaners, and glass repairmen. Not having to independently engage these various services is invaluable to a seller! With Joanna's help, we hit her targeted listing date and had a contract in NINE DAYS. Her reading of the market was spot on, for our property. With a relatively tight closing date, Joanna again made certain we were on schedule. Her communication and organization, throughout the process was impeccable. No detail was missed. On the date we closed, she had a plumber out to our home to take care of a last-minute issue. More impressive was her grabbing a screwdriver and replacing several electrical cover plates an hour before closing. Your run-of-the-mill "list it and forget it" agent would never do this. We simply could not have made a better choice in selecting an agent. Joanna is highly intelligent, professional, motivated, talented, and best of all a great person. You would be foolish not to engage with the purchase or sale of a home.

I had the pleasure of working with Joanna during my recent home-selling process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I knew she was the right agent to work with after our first conversation since she demonstrated a deep understanding of the real estate market not only in the city but in my neighborhood. Joanna guided me through every step of the process from staging and putting my house on the market to closing with patience and professionalism. Joanna was always available to answer my questions and offer support when needed, negotiating the offer, and providing valuable recommendations for painters, movers, and the expert handyman to complete several repair jobs after the inspection. I have received the offer and signed the contract in 10 days and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
