Testimonials

Nancy and I would like to thank you for the super job you did selling the house. You really worked so hard, and saved us a lot of grief, by handling all the inspections, painters, clean-up people, garage sales, etc. You made it seem effortless, only a pro can do that. If you ever need a recommendation in the future, you can sure count on us. Thanks again for your expertise, Joan, and for getting a fair price for the house. — Les and Nancy Wolseth Joan exceeded all our expectations (without the drama). She was very business like, yet personal and comforting. She sat and talked with us about our expectations, hopes and desires. She explained everything along the way. Because of her personal and professional knowledge of the Portola community, she was able to offer us advice and guidance that left us with a sale price exceeding the asking price. We even enjoyed meeting the new owners. — Edward E. Daniels and Jean M. Burger Daniels You were completely reliable and helpful, with strong advice that worked out well for us. The time where our former property was on the market and we were readying the new house for move-in was quite a juggle. You handled so many details for us, often sparing us from running home in the middle of a workday. You met us with papers to be signed at our work places, making life much easier for us. The cadre of escrow officers, appraisers, inspectors who you recommended were all reliable and straightforward. We’re so happily ensconced in our home that we never plan to move again. But we would work with you again in an instant, Joan, if we ever change our mind. — Donn Harris and Julie Tapley Joan was incredible, unflappable and made the right decisions at every step in the process. Her approach to marketing the house was aggressive, yet tasteful and resulted in a very quick sale far above the asking price. After the completion of the sale Joan successfully navigated some potentially treacherous issues with grace and skill. Everyone involved in the transaction owes Joan a debt of gratitude for her calm, reasonable and professional approach to selling a home. At the end of the process we regarded Joan as more than our REALTOR®; she was our friend. — John Kelly and Rina Wallach We have been thoroughly impressed with her focus and attention to what we were going through. A real estate transaction is not a “black and white” business transaction. There is a huge amount of handholding, comforting, supporting, strategizing and pep talks that go into each transaction. Joan did an excellent job at all of this, and more... exceeding our expectations. The fact that we trust her explicitly says it all, I think. She was always available, answering all our questions, no matter how stupid, or no matter how many times we may have asked the question before. We would not hesitate to recommend Joan to any of our friends or acquaintances for their real estate needs. — Kingsley Luey and Peter Chenoweth Joan, thank you for the excellent job you did in selling my mother-in-law’s home. You are a true professional in every way. — Don Rego Your confident and easygoing approach made the entire process very comfortable and practically stress-free. It could have easily been the opposite given that I live in New York and was traveling extensively during escrow. Thanks a million for holding my hand through the tough decision to sell an apartment that was difficult to part with, and for never pushing while I made my decision. And thanks for taking care of all the little stuff, which I know taken together was a lot of extra work. I think, both personally and professionally, you are terrific. — Keith G. Hurst Thank you for the exceptional manner in which you handled the sale of our home. You orchestrated the whole process in such a great way that it was nearly painless to us. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will be telling everyone we know about your professional, friendly and successful attributes. Thank you very much. It is a pleasure knowing you. — Diane Randolph and Rosemary Bliss Joan Loeffler handled the sale of my mother’s property in San Francisco. Joan proved to be a valuable aide during this time, since I lived in Salinas and many needed chores from yard work to debris removal and inspections required services from local people. All of this was efficiently coordinated by Joan. In addition she kept me well informed in a timely manner as the various jobs were completed. Joan was also very supportive and encouraging during the at times overwhelming task, which involved weekly trips from Salinas by my daughter and me as we prepared the home for an open house. In conclusion, Joan is professional and very personable, possessing both patience and humor, and would be an asset to anyone connected with property sales. — Carol S. Brown I’m a therapist who knows nothing about real estate. When I inherited my mother’s house the prospect of selling it was intimidating. Joan made it easy. She explained everything so even I could understand, handled all the details and got me more for the house than I ever expected. I’d highly recommend Joan, especially to the “real estate challenged,” like me. — Diana Murphy I had a really positive experience working with Joan Loeffler at Zephyr. She was very responsive and diligent throughout the house-hunting process, and really went to bat for me during the sales procedure. I’m wildly happy with my new home. — Lydia Radovich Just want to say "thank you" for taking such good care of my family. Congratulations on a job well done. You were amazing, helpful and a delight to work with. Rodney and Liz are thrilled that the house sold so quickly and for more than the asking price. — Sally Newman Joan Loeffler just sold my house, and did a great job of it. She made the process cut and dried and I appreciated her no nonsense way of dealing with business. On top of that she went the extra mile helping us to clean up our totally messy house and yard. What dedication! She also was very on top of the emails and phone response times. We got a good price for our house and sold it in a very quick turn around. Considering the tough housing market that was remarkable. Most of the houses in our neighborhood have been on the market for months. What a difference a experienced agent of Joan's caliber makes. — Kevin Fox
