About Jean
I am committed to listening carefully to your needs and providing the appropriate service and information in order to help you fulfill your real estate goals. I will work diligently to make sure your home finding or home selling experience is a memorable one. I specialize in buying and selling homes in Millbrae, Burlingame, San Bruno, South San Francisco, Daly City and throughout the Peninsula, with specific expertise in Millbrae.
A California native, I first came to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1985 to study Biochemistry at U.C. Berkeley. Like many others, I fell in love with the Bay Area and have been here ever since with my husband and two daughters.
My passion has always been to help others, especially in the area of education. I served for two years as the Director of Impacting Asian Communities for Tomorrow (ImpACT), where I planned and supervised various academic enrichment programs for under-privileged Asian youth and elementary school students in inner-city Oakland. At Taylor Middle School in Millbrae, I took on a variety of responsibilities as Volunteer Coordinator, Newsletter Editor, Communications Chair, and Executive Vice President. Moving on to Mills High School, I had the privilege to be the Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, and Co-President, as well as being the chair person for the annual Mills Mania Fundraiser event for several years. Every year, I have continued to volunteer as an “alumni parent” and host a Shredding Party to provide free shredding services to the community while raising money for Mills High.
As a real estate agent, I understand that buying or selling a home is so much more than a business transaction. For many, buying a home is one of the largest investments in one’s life, and not a decision to be rushed into or taken lightly. It can symbolize a new phase in life or the realization of a hard-earned dream. Likewise, selling a home also marks a major transition in life, sometimes exciting and sometimes difficult.
Whatever the situation, my goal is to help make the transition as smooth as possible for you.

Jean's Reviews

In today’s challenging condo market, finding the right agent is vital. I interviewed three top professionals and Jean was the clear standout. I entrusted her with my condo and left town for a trip, and she took care of every single detail from staging and inspections to open houses and tough negotiations. Jean’s local connections are unmatched. She has a rare gift for making you feel completely protected and valued, regardless of the size of the sale. What truly sets Jean apart is her heart. Despite facing a personal family emergency during the listing, she continued to handle my sale with absolute excellence. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found an agent with both incredible professional skill and wonderful personal character. She is truly the Best! Thank you very much Jean!

There are so many real estate agents to choose from in the Bay Area (we’ve worked with several over the years). However, experience has taught me that agents really do make a difference and it’s important to choose someone who is knowledgeable, dependable and responsive. We just sold a house in South San Francisco and it was a great experience – everything went smoothly, we got over the asking price, and it closed in less than 30 days. I highly recommend Jean Joh for these reasons:
•Personable and easy to work with – Jean has excellent communication skills (clear, succinct) and gave us updates on a continuous basis via email and/or text. She’s also detail-oriented and has excellent follow-through, which rate VERY HIGHLY on my list of criteria.
•Responsive – the one thing I love about Jean is that she always gets back to me right away (there’s nothing more annoying that someone ignoring your calls\emails!). If she happened to be occupied with something else, she’d let me know that she couldn’t respond at that time, and then tell me when she would get back to me. It felt to me like she was working for us 24/7 (and I know she has plenty of other clients).
•Knowledgeable – Jean demonstrated strong knowledge about real estate in the Bay Area and offered us helpful guidance throughout the whole process. If she didn’t know the answer (e.g., impact on taxes), she’d tell us and recommend who we should speak with. She walked us through the whole process, told us what to expect, explained the “fine print” behind what we were signing, etc.
•Integrity – after working with Jean on a couple of home sales, I fully trust her advice and recommendations. This is critically important since real estate involves some of the biggest financial decisions we make.
