Repeat customer! Jo has located and helped me negotiate 2 office leases and finally my home purchase. She listens carefully to everything you want to find in your new home (or business location) and finds properties to meet those needs. She previews most everything before bringing it to you so you don't spend time on properties that aren't just right.

She knows the contract language inside and out, she stays on top of current market inventory and what is selling/not selling and why, and when it comes to working through escrow and all the documentation she is right by your side to explain and help navigate the whole process.

Jo is also a pleasure to work with, kind, thoughtful, funny and brilliant. She always has a positive attitude and a smile. All traits that are much needed when your working through escrow!

Thank you Jo for everything and making the process as easy as possible, I can't wait for the next one!

Jo came into our life at the perfect moment. After having awful tenants Jo stepped in as more than a realtor. Jo went above and beyond to walk us through the process of cleaning up, sprucing up and getting great tenants into our place! We are forever grateful for her guidance. Her work ethic is superior and you will love her attitude. We will most definitely being a repeat customer!

The thought of selling our former home from over 2000 miles away was a bit intimidating to say the least. With Jo working with us, it was far easier and smoother than we could have ever imagined. From the beginning, Jo was communicative, reassuring, and professional, while maintaining her incredible sense of humor throughout. She was great at letting us know what needed to be done by when, and always had a solid plan of how it could be done, and by whom.

Jo guided us so well every step of the way, making suggestions while respecting our rights and wishes as the sellers/homeowners.

Jo was honest and realistic about what our expectations should be. The house was put on the market on a Friday, and we received an offer 3+% higher than our asking price within two days. She worked hard to ensure it was a great, fair, and honest deal for all involved -- us, and the buyers. We respected and appreciated that about her.

Several times during the process, I told my wife that I felt we were in great hands with Jo. She agreed completely.

If any of my friends are looking to buy or sell a home in Southern California, I would not hesitate at all in recommending Jo to represent them.

Thank heaven we didn’t go with that “discount” agent. Jo did more to get our home ready quickly than they would have done. She handled much of it while we had to be out of town handling a family issue. Our home looked beautiful, sold quickly for over asking and our final packing up was so much easier than it would have been without her prep time work. More than that, she handled any issues with repairs, etc. that came up so we could focus on other things. We always trusted that she had our best interests in mind. She promises a low stress transaction. She definitely reduced the stress for us. We actually had fun and celebrated this transitional time for us. Thank you JoJo! L. Mackey, Oceanside

Disclaimer: I'm Jo's nephew. We call her Jojo!

You will not find a more honest, caring, and intellegent person than Jojo. Everything she does is deep rooted in integrity and detail.

She'll always put in the extra mile to make you happy and actual cares about the people with whom she works. For Jojo, everything in life is not just about getting by or doing enough, but actually making a better world. While she's working, that's finding you the perfect home.

This was my first property. She made sure I got every first-time buyer discount and help. It was so easy, she took care of everything and answered all my questions in a timely manner over the phone or through text.

We were able to secure my dream condo I wanted in Little Italy, San Diego for asking price - no bidding war, thanks to her!

You won't ever regret choosing Jojo.

Jo worked extremely hard to make the sale quick and easy. Keeped us informed every step of the way. A true professional and I will recommend her to anyone I know who is selling or buying.

Jo was ready with back up offers which saved the day when the first buyer backed out. No worries Jo had the next one signed and ready so we did not lose much time. Question she always provided guidance and we are so appreciative to have her on our team.

Jo Jo was the best! I knew our house would sell quickly in Carlsbad, but it flew off the market (at asking price) due to Jo Jo staging the place with new furniture.

My family and I worked with Jo on the sale of our home in 2016 and
purchase of a new home late last year. Throughout the process she
went above and beyond what would be expected of any realtor. On the
sale side, she helped with taking care of small fixes (actually
fixing stuff herself), staging our home, and generating a ton of interest. We had offers within days of our first open house. Not only is Jo highly knowledgeable of the housing market, she also knows construction. On the purchase side, she was able to spot potential problems immediately upon walking into a home (electrical, foundational, code violations, etc.). She guided us through a very difficult housing market in which there were
numerous offers on every home, all cash buyers and investors that we
couldn’t compete with. When we finally found “the one,” we were able
to beat out eight offers without having the highest or best offer,
thanks to her creativity and the relationship she was able to
establish with seller and seller’s agent. We never once doubted that
Jo was working in our best interest. She handled everything
for us; meeting with inspectors, contractors, vendors of all types,
down to writing letters to sellers on our behalf. The current trend
for many is to reduce the involvement of realtors from buying/selling
process. We would not be where we are today if we had taken this
route. We will always consider Jo our realtor of record and a
close friend.

As a first time home buyer, I needed a lot of help and guidance. JoJo was there every step of the way with an intelligent, friendly, and knowledgable manner. She answered questions, give advice, and made recommendations with infinite patience and a great sense of humor. She translated complex legal documents into plain english, helped me shop for, purchase, and renovate a condo that had been neglected for decades into a really nice home. I highly recommend JoJo to anyone who is looking to buy a home in the Oceanside/Vista/Carlsbad area.

Jojo is the best! She helped us find and buy a house from across the country, without us ever seeing it in person. She was our representative for all the inspections and repair work and made everything incredibly smooth. She was on top of all the paperwork and was very timely and thorough in following up with us. Jojo was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process. She was encouraging and had a great attitude. We can’t reccomend her highly enough!

Here is your lovely review:
Wow 5 stars isn't enough I want to put 10 for Jo Jo.

She is an incredible powerhouse that got my brother his home here in Oceanside. This was not easy my brother is a first time homeowner who lives in San Francisco.

JoJo went over and above. Her communication is superb. Guiding and educating, and keeping my bother informed through out the process. She had to pick up so many loose ends since he lives so far away.

Dependable, kind and funny, what a pleasure to work with. This process is stressful, JoJo made it fun.

Jo Jo also incredibly knowledgeable about the whole process, and really puts her clients needs up front. She is the whole package and I am so glad she represented my brother through this process.

Thank you Jo Jo you are the best!!!

JoJo did an awesome job selling our Oceanside property. She handled every detail
beginning to end. I did not realize the outstanding job she did for us until we purchased home in Texas without her. It was horrible. Seems we took a lot for granted.
Because of her dedication and attention to every detail we were able to walk away with a
very nice nest egg. SHE IS AWESOME!!!

Jo was without a doubt more than any other agent I have ever known. She staged, packed, took things to volunteer organizations. She filled nail holes, climbed ladders I couldn't and provided support and laughs through this process. She encouraged me, wisely listed and showed my home and never left it unattended. She allayed fears of strangers wandering through my things and made me feel like I was important to her, not as a client but as a friend.
All my friends and family told me I had found a gem a real jewel for this very important transition.
