another project so we called Jennifer again. We sold the unit for a great profit and this time we bought the whole 2-unit building. Todd remodeled the one unit while we were living in other and then we moved into that unit and he remodeled the 2nd unit. Then Jennifer sold the first unit we were living in once again for a great profit and we are still living in the second unit.
Jennifer has been a great friend to our family; bring pizza and wine over and hanging with the kids and us. We are going to be moving out of state pretty soon and have been getting our unit ready to sell. Of course we have been strategizing the process and timing with Jennifer since the San Francisco real estate market and economy have take a twist for the worst. But we are
sure Jennifer will get us the best possible price. We love her…she will be missed!
Todd is a contractor so when we
were looking to buy our first
home, he wanted a project. A friend referred us to Jennifer and she knew exactly what we were looking for right away!
Within a couple months we bought had bought a flat in a 2-unit building, which we remodeled and lived in for a couple years. Then we were ready for

To those who may
not know Jennifer
just let us say that she is the
ultimate professional when it
comes to Real Estate
negotiation.
This is the second property that she has helped us
sell, so as repeat customers, we know of what we
speak. You don't go back a second time unless you are completely satisfied with initial performance.
Selling property in San Francisco can be quite an ordeal these days with all of the new laws and regulations involved.
Jennifer handled all negotiations flawlessly. We consider her both a business
partner and a friend. Thanks again and only wish we had more property
to sell.

What can we say about Jennifer? We
met Jennifer at an open house and liked her immediately. We wanted to buy a 2-unit building as TIC's and condo convert it. Jennifer's knowledge and expertise on the process was first hand.
We must have looked at over 50 buildings before we decided on what to buy. Jennifer knew it was the building for us long before we did. She kept circling back to it even though we passed it up. And are we glad she did!
We have since condo converted the building and sold one of the units, with Jennifer's help, for more than what we paid for the entire building! Jennifer has become much more than our real
estate agent, she is a friend and we get together frequently. We refer her to all
of our friends!

We LOVED working with Jennifer!!
During the housing craziness in San
Francisco, she was super-busy with so many clients,
but somehow, she kept on top of it all so masterfully!
As first-time home-buyers, we spent about three
months looking with her and on our own. When we
finally stepped into the house that we ended up buying,
she knew that it was perfect for us even before we did.
And, without a doubt, it has been perfect. Jennifer
was with us through the whole process and made it as
painless and easy as it could be.
Jennifer was recommended to us by friends who have their perfect house, and we've recom-
mended her to other friends who've also found the perfect house with her. If you want a
fantastic, hard-working, and knowledgeable agent, go with Jennifer!

I was introduced to Jennifer by some
friends and really enjoyed working with her. I was searching for a single family house and Jennifer warned me upfront that, given the market for SFRs in the city, would likely take months to find. We searched for 6-7 months, saw lots of properties, went through pages and pages of listings, and scoured all over the city to areas I had never even been to. Along the way, Jennifer would provide insightful comments on the house, the neighborhood,
and the price. I recall very clearly that Jennifer estimated the price of the accepted offer on several properties that we saw... a testament to her insight into the market. I always welcomed her insight, and looking back I wish we had had deeper discussions so I could learn more from her.
Although it was a maddening 7 months, Jennifer was always upbeat and optimistic. There were times when she had to convince me to look at houses because I was so discouraged!
She was always patient, willing to listen, and I never felt any pressure at any stage
of the process.

Selling a home in this tough economic
climate can be challenging, but Jennifer
did her best to make the process run
smoothly for us.
While working with her to sell our home, we learned very
quickly that Jennifer is a take-charge person who was
accountable and available to our needs, as we as potential
buyer’s needs. She developed several marketing initiatives
that resulted in increased awareness of our home to potential buyers. She managed most all of the open houses herself (this doesn’t happen often!) and she was consistently pleasant and tackled everything with dedication and a smile. Above all, her positive attitude and diligence helped us get though some bumps in the road.
In addition, her services include staging. She staged our house beautifully, which saved us thousands of dollars. I highly recommend Jennifer if you’re looking for a Realtor
(especially in Noe Valley). She is a team player and would make a great asset to
anyone looking to sell their home.

Jennifer supported us
in the sale of our
house throughout each and every step. From helping us developing a time line . . . to executing a comprehensive marketing plan, and offering timely superb advice throughout the escrow process, we were confident in our approach throughout the process even during this very challenging market for a seller.

We ended up getting multiple offers above our asking price, and even with
challenges from lenders, successfully closed escrow in record time. We can't
thank her enough!!"
business mind and makes sure that her clients get the best deal for their money. We bought our first house with JAK. Years later when we decided to sell our house we immediately went back to JAK. There was no one else we could trust more! She staged our house so beautifully I wanted to stay :) The house sold at top dollar even during one of the toughest market down turns ever. She is just the best. Jennifer was recommended to us by friends who have their perfect house, and we've recommended
her to other friends who've also found the perfect house with her. If you want a
fantastic, hard-working, and knowledgeable agent, go with Jennifer!
Working with Jennifer as a first the home
buyer was amazing, We met her at a
"Home Buyers Workshop and immediately clicked. She clearly knew her business and was a consummate professional - but she also REALLY enjoys her job and wants to help make you happy. She listened and guided and put us into
the right house. She has a great creative eye, a sharp
