“Thank you very much for all the work and extra effort you put forth in selling my mother’s condo . . .You went way beyond the call of duty and made it work successfully for all parties.  You are an excellent real estate broker and you represented the Stewart family with grace, dignity, and class.  We are very grateful.  Please accept this small token as a symbol of our appreciation for all that you have done.”

“We recently completed the escrow process with Janna’s tremendous assistance.  I would like to commend her for all her efforts and emotional support during a difficult, nerve wracking time.

Janna is an extremely kind, loving individual who truly cares about her clients.  She was sensitive to our needs and empathetic with our fears and concerns.  These humanistic traits are so often lacking in real estate agents today and make her exceptional in the field.

Her performance as our real estate broker was outstanding.  She was always helpful, easily available, and diligent in the escrow proceedings despite having to deal with the neuroses of the buyers who often made ludicrous requests and outrageous demands.  Fortunately Janna’s calm demeanor and patience allayed our anxieties and the escrow proceeded quickly.

In summary, I highly commend Janna for an excellent job well done and I look forward to future assistance from her.”

“We are very happy to provide Janna Hernholm with a letter of recommendation.  We have had the opportunity to work with Janna for the past two years.  In each and every transaction that we worked with Janna and her clients, we have had the most positive experience with her professionalism and knowledge.  We are in the position to have extensive contact with a buyer during the course of their application for a Real Estate loan, and have always had favorable comments from there clients.

It is with this knowledge, that we chose Janna to handle the sale of our personal residence.  Since our business is comprised of 90% realtor clients, we certainly had a definite idea of what we were looking for in an agent.  She was most accommodating and diligent on our behalf, and we now have a positive personal experience to add to our business relationship.”

“Want to thank you for all you did for us.  We are so pleased with having the new family buy it.  It is as though the house was made for them.  All to your credit. 

Your cooperation and common sense saved us from all the blunders that could have happened. 

We would and will recommend you any time and any place.”

M.B. & J.B.

 “I want to tell you how much I appreciate your handling of the sale of the house on Upas Street.  From the day we signed with you, the sale was made in three days, and thirty days later the escrow was closed and we had our check.  You can’t do any better than that.  What’s more, we got the top price for the property.  Your professionalism made the entire experience a pleasure.  It is really good to work with a person who conducts a sale as smoothly and efficiently as you do.

This was my fourteenth escrow – and without question, your performance was the best by a realtor that I have seen in any of them.

You have a quiet, serene way of handling all the turmoil and surprises that happen in every escrow.  I really marvel at how well you do it.

Thanks Janna, from all of us involved in the sale of this property.  You did it all – we couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

“When we needed a realtor, we were swamped with phone calls, letters and impromptu visits from dozens of unsolicited realtors.  There was, however, only one person we felt was both personable and professional enough to meet our needs – Janna Hernholm.  And we called her.

Janna met and often exceeded our expectations.  She was patient, punctual and considerate in her dealings with us, prospective buyers and other realtors.

As a professional woman, Janna has stood out as a tasteful, talented and bright member of her profession.  As a member of her community, she is both liked and admired.

R.J.

“Janna Hernholm was recommended to my wife, to our daughter and to me by our friend, a leading appraiser of long experience in San Diego, and we feel fortunate to have had her assistance. 

She knows the market well, is very thorough and generous with her time.  We found her broadly knowledgeable in her field, and we have been impressed by her effective management of affairs.  She takes a keen interest in her clients and their needs, and we have enjoyed the time we have spent working with her.

We congratulate you upon having her as a member of your staff and are pleased to provide this report of our experience.”

H.M.

“Janna Hernholm, savior marketing consultant on your staff, did an outstanding job in the sale of my Aunt’s property in San Diego.  This extremely complicated transaction would have been a nightmare without her expertise, professionalism, honesty, and sense of humor.  Both my sister and I express our sincere appreciation for the excellent service we have received from Janna.”

B.O. & E.O.I

“Janna showed total professionalism at all times while maintaining a friendly and willing attitude.  When surprising developments came up as we were about to close she handled it with calm negotiating skills.”

D.S. & C.S.

“I want to take a minute to tell you how happy I am that I used YOU to represent me for my most recent home sale in San Diego.  You have always had a reputation as one of the top agents in San Diego; my experience confirms that this reputation is well deserved.

There are several things that I particularly appreciated in working with you:

1. You obviously know the market and are able to talk about the market in an appropriate and “unhyped” manner.  This is a great skill…there are many agents who are often caught up in the “hype,” and who over-or-under-sell the marketplace.
2. You are a great advisor, without pushing your own preference.  I appreciate the fact that you laid out options, gave your opinion, and then honored the decision I made for myself.
3. You returned calls and kept me informed…I know this seems like something everyone should do, but believe me, not every agent does this.
4. When things got difficult, you stayed focused and calmly helped me understand my options, while still trying to keep the deal alive.

Janna, I enjoyed working with you and thank you for your efforts and for your results.  I hope to work with you again, when I eventually re-enter the San Diego marketplace.”

“My husband and I would like to express our appreciation for the highly professional and considerate manner in which Janna Hernholm managed the sale of our house.  Any company should be grateful to be represented by such a highly qualified and sensitive agent.”

V.W.

“Thanks Janna, for all you have done regarding the sale of Presidio Dr.  Again, your skill and enthusiasm are unmatched in the business.  You could definitely make an impact in Chicago.”

C.D.

“Thanks for always being such a professional and for approaching life based on an open-minded – fair – angle.  I think this experience has been a very pleasant one and my guess is that is pretty much because of you and your efforts…  I know there have been a couple times where we have had to “negotiate” due to unforeseen circumstances and each time it happened, you did it with a fair, open-ear…

You are a TOTAL PROFESSIONAL who works her business with total tact and great communication skills and THAT (my friend) is why you are so good at what you do.” 

R.M.

“Thank you for going the extra mile when you didn’t have to.  You’re not just our realtor, but our friend too!  (The kids consider you one of the family!)”
