What clients say about this agent....
Jen far exceeded our expectations for a realtor. She was always available to us for our questions and concerns. She is upbeat and positive and truly a breath of fresh air. She was on top of everything and we highly recommend her. Charlie and Dawn
I had to urgently sell my house after some medical issues. I was unable to speak clearly or quickly and so had difficulty expressing myself. A friend set me up with Jen, who spent most of our first meeting helping me with phone calls to medical appointments. Though she did see the house, and discussed a plan to quickly get it on the market. She did everything, arranging for repair of our rear deck and repainting of it plus touch ups inside. She also had our carpets replaced. All this while I exited the country to return home. The staging that she did, and the photos were amazing. She really pulled out the best of our house and presented that to buyers. She listed the property and it sold well above listing, for $1.7m. A very good result. Thanks so much, Jen!
When we called Jen up and said we'd accidentally found our dream home, and were completely unprepared, she jumped right in and helped us do the things we needed to buy it. Then, when it was time to sell the home we had been in, she helped us prioritize our time and money to prepare it in a way to appeal to as many buyers as possible, and to allow for smooth and easy sailing once we were in escrow.
Jen helped us sell our home in September/October of 2021. We would, and have already, recommended her to others without reservation. She carefully listened to us to learn what we wanted to accomplish and when. She was super responsive to our questions, often anticipating and answering them before we asked. She knows the local market extremely well. We sold without listing so didn't experience some common services related to listing but the transaction had some interesting timing and financing aspects that Jen expertly navigated. She communicated extensively with the buyer's lender to be sure that all the necessary marks were hit for both the seller and the buyer. Plus, she is simply a delightful person that is easy to talk to and work with.
Jen helped us sell our home and buy our new home. Through the entire journey, Jen was helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. She gave us pointers about how to get our house ready to sell, and when it went on the market we were thrilled that the pictures and staging had our home looking its very best. We ended up getting great offers because of her suggestions and negotiation skills. We were incredibly pleased.I wholeheartedly give Jen a five star rating and will recommend her to anyone looking for a seasoned professional who will make the stressful process of buying and selling a home into a pleasure.
She got us an extra $60,000, so that's pretty good. Jen's availability, help, and herd work made our home sale and home purchase much less stressful, and more profitable than it otherwise would have been.Thanks Jen!
My wife and I sought an agent who is familiar with the Seattle Eastside real estate market. It was important for us to have our property shown as attractively as possible with a clear, logical and an objective approach for a quick sale at the desired price. We live in a small town and know lots of real estate agents but wanted to be sure we interviewed a few agents in the area. We had heard good things about Jen and added her name to the list. After meeting and talking with agents, we selected her for many reasons; how she began her real estate career, her knowledge of the area, her service level, the market and her preparation/attention to detail and what she could do for us personally. Her insight with marketing and internet presence were fantastic for our home. The staging with pieces of furniture added and others removed from the rooms. The furniture placement and attention to detail was thoughtful throughout the home with elegance and good taste. The video portion of the marketing really highlighted the staging features that were received well. The video photography even had a few drone pictures that completed the feature. When offers came in soon after the property went to market, Jen was a true professional. She presented offers on a spreadsheet format where my wife and I could easily sift through the data terms and see which offer was the best choice for us. We were kept in the loop through all of the stages of the process. We also want to add that Jen Brooks customer service was fantastic with showing courtesy to us with scheduling and communication response time. My wife and I had a terrific and profitable experience with Jen on the sale of our primary home in Duvall over the summer 2021. Jen Brooks, good luck with your continued success!
Just do what Jen says. You love your brick red accent wall, but Jen says to paint it. You think the 30 year old light fixtures are fine, but Jen says to update them. You think your carpet will be ok, but Jen says to replace it. You dont think the scuffed trim and wall dings will be noticed, but Jen says to get it all fixed up. You think the flower beds are fine, but Jen says to put down new bark. You dont want to pay for a pre-home inspection, but Jen says you need it. You dont want to bust your @&& getting the house listed in 4 weeks to beat the rush of listings in the spring/summer, but Jen says you want less competition to get the best price. Just do it. She knows how to get your house looking great and will get you top dollar for it.
It was a pleasure to work with Jen. Her style is very fun and professional. I can be an extremely demanding person and she handled my transaction with confidence, expertise and humor. I would recommend her to any friend or business partner. You can't go wrong with her on your team.
Jen is a creative thinker and problem solver who gets results. She negotiated the sale of our house for asking price, without having to do any improvements and a quick closing date. She coached us the entire time and was available when we needed her, answered our many questions as well as provided us with the background information to support her suggestions. While warm and friendly with an infectious smile and laugh, Jen is a skilled negotiator and trusted partner. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy or sell.
