What clients say about this agent....
Janet was nothing short of amazing! My FiancA(C) and I were looking to buy our new home and had no clue where to start! Janet was referred to us by my mom, and we are so lucky to have gotten to work with her. Janet was so knowledgeable on every question we had, gave her honest feedback, and made us feel confident in every step along the way. She was on our side 100% of the time and it felt like she never stopped working to ensure that we had everything we needed to make an informed decision. Her dedication and obvious love for what she does shines. Janet took the time to listen to our needs and wants and was able to find our dream home. We are so grateful for everything Janet has done for us and continues to do even after the home purchase. No one tells you how many small loose ends need to be figured out and tied up, but Janet knows it all! I would highly recommend Janet for any home purchase and will most definitely be contacting her for any future home purchase. :) Thank you so much, Janet!
Janet walked me through both the house-selling and buying processes. She is one to go above and beyond what would normally be expected of a realtor. She "held my hand" and guided me through every step of the way, thoroughly and gently explaining what I needed to know. She referred me to the help I needed as I got my home ready to sell, as well as the help I now need to renovate the house I purchased. She has been totally responsive in our communications, and very respectful always. I could always count on her expertise in areas I had little confidence. Her negotiation skills are superb. Besides this, Janet is a very nice person. Her calm nature has had a soothing effect on me in very tense and intense ordeals. I am extremely satisfied and grateful for my realtor/client relationship with Janet. I definitely made the right choice!
Janet is the best! She went over and above to make sure we found the perfect house. This required a lot of research and looking at multiple properties, but she always stayed focused on trying to find the best fit for us. We're so happy with the results - couldn't recommend her enough!!
Janet helped us buy our dream house in Oceanside! She was so kind, and always listened to what we were looking for. She was extremely patient with us when we felt overwhelmed. Working with her was wonderful, I cannot say enough great things about her. I highly recommend her services.
Janet helped to sell my home during the dissolution of my marriage. Despite the difficulty dealing with both my ex and I in this turbulent time, she represented us both fairly and closed the sale to both of our satisfaction. I have since recommended Janet to all my friends and family, and everyone has had the same great experience.
Janet was fantastic with my process of finding a home. She was really patient with me when I wanted to change my preferences as well as returning to look at certain places multiple times. She took the time to talk to me and find out what I was hoping for so she would know what to look for. She was knowledgeable about the area and the different homes and what to look for in each place. She was really nice and never made me feel like I was wasting her time. She made buying a home a fairly painless process. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking to purchase a new home. This was my first time buying and I really had no idea what I was doing. She made the whole thing seem easy and never made me feel insecure about my lack of experience and knowledge.
Janet assisted us with selling our home when we relocated to another state. The sale went quickly and we received offers above the asking price. She was instrumental in making sure the sale went smoothly. Janet made sure every part of the process was on track. We recently moved back to the area and Janet helped us find a rental property and then purchase a home. She definitely worked for her ultimate commission as we looked at many homes and changed requested features at various times. While the rental went relatively fast, the house hunt took much longer due to our desire to find the perfect house. Janet stuck with us and we eventually bought a house after making offers on several different properties. In fact, the house we bought is one we had previously made an offer on but had earlier reached an impasse on price. She kept in touch with that realtor and brought us back to the property when there was a later open house. Janet has also been there for us post-sale. When we had problems with a home warranty claim, she has followed up with her contacts at the company to assist in trying to work the issue out. She has also provided info on contractors others have used in the area. While we dont plan to move for a while, we will definitely use Janet to help us when we decide to sell in the future.
Let me preface this review by saying I really don't like the Real Estate system nor 99% of the agents I've ever met nor most of the mortgage industry as a whole etc. I've known Janet for years but not in that space so when I was selling a condo I was stuck with and I found out Janet was an agent I elected to use her to help me.Granted, I don't listen well and am picky and fairly paranoid ;) Clearly I'm not an easy seller to deal with... when I found out how much the industry standard rates were to the seller's agent and the buyer's agent I flipped out a bit... but in the end it just was 10000x more worth it to hire Janet than I ever would have expected. Truth be told without her I think I would have backed out of the whole process.I started this trying to do some of the things we needed to do to get more money out of our listing, but in the end Janet handled all of it for me... she guided me in ROI and cost vs. benefit analysis and tailored the situation as a whole that I was looking for to reality. Everything she said turned out to be correct even though I was Mr. Skeptical. She guessed the numbers game, she listed it for under and we came out above (well above) what we listed for just as she predicted (but of course did NOT promise... which is awesome.) I honestly couldn't be happier.When I buy or sell ever again I'm hiring Janet again or I mean begging Janet to help me again ;). I wish everything I sold went as well as this did. Thanks again Janet, you're (really) the best!
My family worked with Janet Hu in 2015 for the purchase of our home in Carlsbad, California. We have worked with many realtors in the past, and honestly believe you will never work with a better realtor. Integrity. Excellence in execution. Proactive. Market knowledge. Ability to hold the deal together. Absolutely professional. Going over and above. I could go on... This was an amazing experience and we would recommend Janet to anyone looking for a home in San Diego County. Before working with Janet we did not know her personally. This review is absolutely the honest truth. Such an amazing experience. Thank you Janet! Jim and Kimberley C.Carlsbad, CA
