★★★★★
"Jill did a superb job selling our condo. She is very helpful, creative, and always willing to go the extra mile. She’s a great communicator with the knowledge for strategically suggesting style and practical improvements that will make any property stand out above all others in the marketplace. Jill is an excellent manager and able to organize and coordinate an experienced team of loyal and skillful contractors and suppliers. In addition, she is not above rolling up her sleeves to plant flowers in the garden if need be. She has the positive energy, market knowledge, experience, and drive to be the best choice when buying or selling any property. Highly recommended."

★★★★★
" I can't say enough about working with Jill and how she made the purchase of our property as seamless as possible. She was always accessible and had excellent follow through. Her knowledge was impressive throughout the whole process. Attention to detail is very important to me and Jill hit a home run in that area. I would highly recommend working with Jill whether you are looking to sell or buy. "

★★★★★
" I worked with Jill to sell my parents' home after their passing. Jill treated an emotional sale with care and sensitivity, and I had 100% trust in her to guide me through every step of the process. Leading up to the listing, she spent months working to prepare the house for listing, advised me on upgrades that paid off at time of sale, and brought her expertise of the westside real estate market to price the property perfectly. She also used her keen design eye to take advantage of much of our existing furniture for staging and brought in updated accessories to give the space a fresh feel. Jill's hard work resulted in multiple offers from incredibly qualified buyers, and I was grateful to have Jill's support on the sale throughout close of escrow (which thanks to Jill, was easy and seamless). "

★★★★★
" When my boyfriend and I decided it was time to look for a home, it felt overwhelmingly daunting. Given that it would be our first home, we really wanted someone that would be a go-to friend/guide/mentor as our realtor. Jill was all of that and more. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the Santa Monica and West Side market. She provided honest feedback of every property we looked at and has an incredible design eye that helped us visualize how we could build a home in different space. At the beginning of our search, we sent Jill our 'dream list' of what we were looking for in a home. She was very realistic and positive with us even as we were diving into one of the most challenging markets in a competitive neighborhood. Her reputation as being professional and easy to work with is abundantly clear and made our escrow process seamless. Thanks to Jill, we found a home that checked all of our boxes. We really couldn't be happier. The only bummer in finding our dream home is that we don't get to spend time with Jill looking at fun homes. "

" Jill was instrumental in helping sell our loft. She brought an expertise and knowledge of the local housing market. She provided us comps to help us understand the ideal list price and was responsive and easy to reach throughout the listing and closing process. She helped us understand the process and ensured we were comfortable each step of the way. Going through escrow was a breeze with her support. Jill is highly recommended and we got an amazing result with her help. "

★★★★★
" Jill was amazing to work with! She is terrific, attentive, punctual and honest. She was easy to work with, friendly and truly cared about our needs and wants. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field. We recently sold the family home in Beverly Hills. Our property sold very quickly and Jill was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She looked out for our interests and was always available to discuss issues. She was knowledgeable of the market and worked hard to put our transaction together. I would definitely recommend her services, she listens and she went above and beyond for us. In my opinion you cannot find a better agent. Thank you for all you have done for us Jill!"

★★★★★
" I moved to Los Angeles two years ago not knowing where to live or how to get around. I bought in an area I could afford at the time and soon realized how unhappy I was commuting every day. When Jill told me she could sell my house in a minute I was unsure what to think! Not only did she go above and beyond on the listing but she took me in as if I were family. She worked endless hours getting my house in great shape to list and even let me borrow her own furniture to help stage. The selling of my house was one of the easiest things I have ever done and it was all because of Jill. I hope to not move again for awhile but if I do Jill will be the one I call! "

★★★★★
" Jill is a gem of a realtor! The phrase "above and beyond" was coined for her. Not only does she bring a wealth of market knowledge and years of real estate experience but she makes you feel like you are the most important client she has ever had. From meeting with contractors, overseeing staging and design decisions to her strong contract negotiations - nothing was overlooked. I felt cared for every step of the way. This was such an emotional time for us and Jill spent months with us starting with prep, then listing and finally choosing the right buyer. I can't imagine this process going more smoothly with any one else. Thanks Jill!"

"What a pleasure it was to have another opportunity to work with Jill and Rae of Very Fine House! I was not planning on buying a home this year, but when the perfect one came on the market in my favorite neighborhood (Santa Monica’s desirable 90405), I couldn’t resist. In this highly competitive market, Jill and Rae expertly advised me on how to put my best foot forward in my offer, which resulted in a quick acceptance and easy escrow. Rae and Jill went above and beyond to make me feel at ease throughout the entire process. They were incredibly diligent with their review of inspections and property history, which was especially important to me as a first-time buyer of a single-family home. Rae and Jill’s partnership made me feel confident that no stone went unturned. I also worked with Jill and Rae to sell my condo, which we did so off-market at top dollar in what I am sure will go down in history as the most seamless real estate transaction ever."

"Realtors Jill Cannella and Rae Bertram both deserve a rating of 20+ stars on every level. They are the ultimate professional experienced real estate team and were absolutely amazing in every aspect. Faced with listing and selling a long-time family home, Jill and Rae handled both with the utmost care and compassion. They are hardworking, honest, and extremely responsive. They remained focused and supportive during what was an emotional and at times challenging process. Their negotiation and communication skills were top-notch as well as their keen eye for detail, and their fast and thorough follow-up which resulted in receiving multiple offers for the home, selling it well over the asking price! I highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a home - they are truly the best.
