We were lucky that we chose JouJou as our realtor, she was very responsive (she works day and night literally), knowledgeable, and guided us throughout the home buying process from day one seeing that we are first time buyers. I would say it was because of her only that our very first offer (the first one we ever made for a house which is really awesome) in this home buying process got accepted. She negotiated well to get all the things done as per our liking during the process. She helped me get good referrals for all sorts of work related to home buying, mortgage to handyman etc. She worked with us like she was a part of our little family and she always advised us honestly and truthfully. I would any day recommend her as I am 100% sure she will deliver.
