Client Testimonials
"Joanne helped us purchase our house in Sunnyvale in 2006 and later helped us sell it in 2017. We had attempted to sell our house Dec 2016 and we had a miserable experience working with realtors who did not understand the market and gave us really bad advice. Joanne was extremely professional, got all the inspections and photos done in a timely fashion. She kept us updated through the whole process and was on top of everything. The entire process was very smooth. We were in good hands :) Would highly recommend Joanne if you are looking to buy or sell your house in the South Bay." - A & O D'costa_
"Joanne is great! She is very responsive, has a thorough understanding of the local real estate market and is superb at walking you through everything that needs to get done. She referred a wonderful realtor that my wife & I used to find our new house in another county. After patiently waiting for nine months for us to be ready to move, Joanne helped us (1) find an organizer to get us through sorting and disposing of 30 years worth of detritus and locating a good mover; (2) find a contractor to intelligently renovate our old condo, plus a window replacement company, a painter, a flooring company and finally cleaners. Her folks came in at the low end of our renovation budget and did great work in a very timely manner. (3) Joanne also dealt with our Home Owners Association, their old management company and their new one. (4) She found a wonderful associate to keep things moving when her vacation came up, and checked in with us during her trip. (5) Finally Joanne listed, sold, and closed our condo within a couple of weeks once the renovations were done and got us significantly more than we expected. Real estate transactions are always going to be stressful but Joanne really lightens your load. We heartily recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell property in the Bay Area." - Mark and April Sapsford

"When my brother became ill recently, I had to sell his home in Los Altos (I live in Virginia). I had heard some good reports about Joanne Fraser's services, so I contacted her and requested assistance in selling the house. I got everything I needed and more. From her personal real estate advice, to her extensive list of service companies that provide home repairs, carpeting/flooring, yard/tree work, staging/preparation, moving household goods, and practically anything else you need, she made a difficult, long-distance project incredibly easy. As a former military service member who moved several times and was involved in helping many of my fellow servicemen and women move, I can say without hesitation that Joanne is the best I've ever known. I can recommend her highly to anyone who needs real estate services in the South Bay area. The fact that she and her colleague Joan do it all with a smile is a bonus!" - Bill Naylor

"I trust Joanne. How often can you say that about anyone—let along your real estate agent? My friends, family, and I have all used Joanne for buying and selling our homes with great success.

"It was such a pleasure working with you on the sale of my Mother's house. Your expertise, drive, and attention to detail was very professional and you were always there to help in any way you could to prepare the house for sale. You lined up painting, staging, inspections, clean up, gardener etc. so quickly and efficiently. Your website and email skills were impressive. You responded quickly to any concern or need that arose as the Trustees responsible for the sale did not live in the area. Communication and necessary signatures were never a problem even though one trustee lived out of state. It was a very difficult time for me having to sell the home I grew up in and putting an end to that chapter in my life. The compassion you had for my situation, the emotional and professional support you gave me, could not have been better." - S Swanson

"You literally worked around the clock for us to make sure everything went smoothly. Your marketing, price negotiation, and decorating ideas sold (our house) within two weeks. . . .

"Joanne did her homework while we waited for the tenants to vacate. By the time she put our house on the market, everything was done except deciding which of the four offers we should accept. We went with the highest offer of $115k over the asking price, escrow closed in thirty days and we received payment. We were pleasantly surprised that the whole process went so smoothly and quickly, but we are saddened by the fact that our long-term relationship with Joanne has come to a finish. Joanne is an extremely talented real estate professional. She is a person of great passion, depth, conviction and integrity and without reservation, we highly recommend her to any buyer or seller"." - Dave Harris
-
"We couldn't be happier with our home sale thanks to Joanne. We researched several companies, then interviewed three agents. Joanne had the most extensive experience and professional training and certification in her field. Joan and Joanne worked as a seamless team, providing us with constant access for our questions, advance notice on all the details and actions, and clear, specific instructions and paperwork. ...In the end our home had an offer in four days for our full asking price, As-Is sale, and with the rent back we requested. It was a smooth and very pleasant experience. We recommend you select Joanne Fraser as your real estate agent and see what a truly professional, competent and friendly home sale can be"." - Mary & Jim McCauley

"I was introduced to Joanne by a coworker in 2011. Since then she has sold my husband's house, my condominium, helped us find and purchase our first house as a family, and then sold that house for us when we moved out of the area. The houses that we sold needed work before being placed on the market. She took care of arranging all of the repairs and also arranged for staging.
We were very pleased with all of the sales and the purchase that we made, and would highly recommend Joanne" - T.Lundin

"Joanne is by far the best real estate agent with whom I've worked. She has helped my wife and I sell three properties and buy one over the past several years.

She is exceptionally well-organized, tracks and manages all aspects of buying and/or selling properties and is extremely responsive." - William L.

"Joanne guided us through all aspects of selling our condo from advice on giving notice to the tenant, to what needed to be upgraded and to what extent to appeal to the target market.

We were extremely pleased with the final result and highly recommend her to anybody buying or selling in the area." - Terri

"Joanne helped us navigate a complex sale. With us out of state, she oversaw extensive repairs to our condo to bring it up to selling condition. She held numerous open houses and guided us in negotiations when offers came in. She deftly coordinated all the required paperwork with our difficult HOA, the buyers, and the title company. Throughout the entire process she remained positive and responsive. We definitely couldn't have done it without her, and we recommend her enthusiastically." - Jim S.
