"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."
