Jo Anne Santarromana

"Jo Anne Santarromana is the consummate professional and I enthusiastically recommend her for all of your real estate needs. I have had the privilege of working with Jo Anne twice; when purchasing and later selling my first home. The real estate market in the Bay Area can be brutal- Jo Anne is adept at seamlessly guiding you through the process. She takes the time to really listen to you and uses that information to help distill your wishes into tangible goals. Despite my modest budget and tight time frame, Jo Anne made me feel like I was her number one client and was instrumental in making my dream of homeownership a reality. Later, when I decided to sell, I reached out to Jo Anne and she was once again ready to hit the ground running. Thanks to her sage advice the house was prepped for market without breaking the bank and I was fielding multiple offers within weeks. Post-closing Jo Anne continued to be responsive in addressing any and all questions I had. When I was moving out of state, she went out of her way to vet local agents before putting me in touch with an associate of hers who has been great. Jo Anne is conscientious, smart, and savvy. She puts in the time to understand what your needs are and utilizes her understanding of the market to set you on course towards successfully buying or selling your home."

"When selling a house “it’s all in the details” and endless details there are! I am grateful to have had Jo Anne Santarromana as my Realtor. She is professional, personable and accountable. Jo Anne always put my interests first by easing my path into the preparation and sale of my deceased mother’s home of 63 years. She came ready to analyze what needed to be done to make our family home shine to attract the next happy owner. She created a five-week plan and budget and stuck to it. She coordinated all the craftsmen and supervised their work from inspections and repairs to painting and staging. She consulted with me every step of the way. These tasks would have been close to impossible for me to do alone. COMPASS further smoothed the way by fronting all the costs to be paid upon the sale of the house. When the sale date came the house was picture-perfect and ready for public viewing. Jo Anne guided me professionally through the inevitable ups and downs of offers and negotiations resulting ultimately in a successful sale. I recommend Jo Anne Santarromana, without reservation to be your Realtor as she will be attentive to the myriad of details involved in the preparation and sale of your home."

"Please take note prior to reading my comments , I couldn't possibly come close to how wonderful of an experience it has been to have had JoAnne as my realtor and advisor throughout my entire journey in marketing real estate in the city of San Francisco. My situation was a bit unorthodox as I'm living out-of-state and had full responsibility in handling a property in the western division for my family. Needless to say, outside of our two incredibly successful in person appointments, our relationship was completely long-distance while communicating strategies, planning and exchanging ideas from the start to the finish line. Of course with her as our team leader of the entire project, everything would always fall infallibly right into place comfortably. "Bottom line" My suggestion to anyone that is looking for someone to work with regarding any type of real estate endeavor, looking to buy, sell or just shopping around, then JoAnne would definitely be worth your time to contact. If you are seeking direction, knowledge, understanding, accountability, organization, creativity, planning, and someone who always listens to your thoughts, ideas, is very attentive and will keep you up to date with progress, JoAnne is a professional. In ending, working with someone with so many levels of consciousness in the business of real estate was such a gift to me and that is exactly why I'm sharing this with whoever reads this post.."

"Amazing is an understatement to how well Jo Anne guided me through the home-buying process. As a first time buyer, she gracefully stepped into the role of informing me ahead of the first tour on what the process would look like, and each step of the way she allowed me to take a beat to consider the decision being made and the provided wise guidance from her years of experience in the field. She took the time to thoughtfully communicate her perspective, informed me of the happenings in the background, and was extremely timely and detail oriented on getting questions answered or next steps scheduled. I felt truly cared for. I would confidently recommend Jo Anne to any first time buyer in the SF market.."

"Jo Anne worked with us over several months to prepare our home for sale, put it on the market, and finalize the sale. I really can’t say enough about her competence and professionalism! Her “value-added” was an order of magnitude above what normally comes with the management of a real estate transaction. Her judgements about what needed to be done (and what didn’t) proved to be right on the mark. But beyond that, Jo Anne handled so many aspects of the process, making what could have been a very stressful experience quite straightforward. She balanced a willingness to listen to our concerns with a commitment to providing her best guidance. She dealt with everything from construction projects and refinishing, to thoughtful interactions with other agents and prospective buyers to get their questions addressed. In the end, our home was updated and refreshed well beyond expectations, and perfect for moving on to its new owners. The house sold on the schedule she had predicted, with happy customers all around!"

"I had the opportunity to work with Jo Anne these past six months and I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, and just overall amazing real estate advisor. I am a first-time homebuyer through one of San Francisco’s city programs and was very anxious because I had no idea where to start. I knew that I wanted to work with someone that had experience with these types of programs, understanding the step-by-step process in addition to being able to advise me on the right purchase. Right from the start, Jo Anne was on top of her game. She fully understood where my budget and finances were and advised me on the best steps to take, choosing the right home for me without having to compromise my current lifestyle, neighborhood preferences, and overall quality of life. Jo Anne exceeded all my expectations, guiding me through each first step of the home buying process. She walked me through a full disclosure review, communicated with my lender, and managed the communication with the seller’s agent, putting my best interests first. In the end, I had a successful close and am a proud homeowner in San Francisco! I don’t think I would have gotten here without her. I would (and have already) referred her to both friends and family looking for a home here in SF or anywhere in the Bay Area. Thank you, Jo Anne!"
