We hired JouJou because of her reputation for excellence. We had two homes to sell and she did not disappoint! One home sold in a day and the other in three weeks. She “went to the mat” for us and handled everything professionally and expertly. She is fun to work with and a very gracious lady. Everything she told us happened exactly on the timeline she set for us. Pricing was perfect and she brings the buyers in from the get go. Everyone who assisted her from the stager she used, the title/escrow company and even the moving company she recommended. All of them were the best of the best. She even helped us on the buy end with our new home and was more knowledgeable than the agent we worked with in that area. Oh, and the best part is that she answers all of her calls herself! Not once did we deal with anyone but her. We highly recommend her and she is worth it! We joked that she should wear a super-hero cape. She’s that good. ~Recent Zillow Review • TOP 1% NATIONWIDE • TOP 1% CONTRA COSTA COUNTY •
