"Buying a house in this market is quite the task to take on. Janicke approached that task with a calm professionalism and worked hard to provide us with properties that would fit our needs and wants. She was kind and patient when we needed time to think and honest about what she felt would work well and what we might want to think further about. Not only is it fun to work with Janicke but we really felt she had our best interests at heart. She was always on time, prepared, and addressed our needs and concerns in a timely manner. I trust her and have recommended her to anyone I know looking to buy or sell in San Diego."
"Janicke and her team were awesome to work with. She has an impressive balance of being professional and kind and organized and flexible. Janicke listens. She truly works for and with you. She understood the big picture and all going on in my life and cared about making the sale of my home as smooth as possible. And, she did this at the height of the pandemic (late 2020). She communicates so well and often. We talked almost every day with updates about showings, offers, etc. She works hard and helps in so many areas and truly goes above and beyond. A few examples are cleaning my floors and vacuuming before a showing, and laying mulch right before the pictures and drone (which turned out incredible)! I was beyond happy with the entire process and highly recommend Janicke!"
"I credit Janicke and her wonderful, professional team for selling my home in record time. I met Janicke years before when I decided to go with a different agency. There wasn't a single offer.
Tried again years later. This time the first and only person I contacted was Janicke. She was able to attract 3 offers (one before the listing start date, an all-cash offer, and then a 3rd before the first week's end).
The closing process went incredibly smoothly. If there were any hiccups along the way, I'm none the wiser, because all I experienced was a stress-free close.
It's the details that count, and her team really brought their A-game with the details... without breaking anyone's bank on things like staging props.
She's a no-hassle gal who has an eye for what works and very quick and successful at executing her plan.
When I need an agent in the area, I will be sure to contact Janicke again. "

"We worked with Janicke and Peter for our relocation to San Diego from Minnesota, and they were fantastic. They took us around to every house that met our criteria on ourthree trips , and quickly got a sense of what we were looking for. They were indefatigable in making sure we got into all the houses we wanted to, and finding us the right house for our family. They even went to see some houses for us when we were back in Minnesota, took pictures, videos and measurements. We couldn't have asked for better service and we really liked them too! They guided us through the process of buying our home remotely and it went very smoothly, despite some difficult seller situations. Janicke also provided a lot of information regarding schools for our children, contractors to do work on our house, and was even available to meet with them at the house while we are away. They are continuing to help us until we move to California in a few months. We highly recommend them. Wish all realtors were this good!"

"Janicke recently helped us to sell our house in La Jolla. We don't live in the area, so it was vital that we worked with someone who was a great communicator. Janicke is an amazing communicator. She was always available to us whenever we needed her. She always answered emails within a couple of hours. She is extremely professional in navigating negotiations with other realtors. But most importantly to us, as a young growing family, was that she really worked hard to help us achieve our goals, and genuinely cared about us and how best to support us through the process from afar.
I wouldn't even consider another realtor in the San Diego area. We would go directly back to Janicke - she's that good. "

"Janicke helped us buy our house in 2010, and when it came time to sell there was no question about who we would use. Our house sold very quickly, extremely smoothly, with very little stress - all thanks to Janicke and her team. We would definitely recommend her!"

"I met Janicke when she listed (and sold in one week at full asking price) a home down the street from mine in the Del Sur area of Carmel Valley. I called her and was immediately impressed by the amount of market knowledge she had. I'm a real estate investor and regularly attend industry seminars and forecast, hosted by economists,

“Janicke came highly recommended by a dear friend and did not disappoint. My main concern going into the sales process was being out of state and a lack of knowledge of the process ahead of me. She communicated clearly and was willing to take the time to speak to me on more than one occasion to walk me through any confusing procedures. She moved quickly to put the pieces into place for an expedient sales process with a reasonable price point and timeline leading to the property being sold in a matter of days. I would highly recommend her for buying or selling a property because she is not only qualified, but a caring and trustworthy, friendly voice to lead you along your way.”

“I had the pleasure to work with Janicke on the sale of my home, which was my first home sale experience. Janicke provided vastly appreciated guidance, information, and support, and I particularly felt well-supported considering I was based remotely to much of the sale process. A testament to Janicke's diligent and comprehensive communications. Janicke's experience also came into play via the provision/access and info to vendors to help bring the sale of my home to a rapid and very satisfactory resolution. Not only would I recommend Janicke to others, I'm thrilled to continue to work with Janicke myself as a trusted voice as I re-enter the local real estate market.”

“I’ve bought two houses and sold one house with Janicke. Her local knowledge of Carmel Valley helped me buy my first house in San Diego. And her local knowledge helped me find my dream house by the coast. She handled a complicated contingent sale and purchase with ease. I can not stress enough how enthusiastically I endorse Janicke and her team.”
- Christina Fennell
“Janicke was a pleasure to work with! Her communication with me was on point. In this market with so many offers it can be challenging to get agents to even respond to your clients offers let alone have a full conversation and constant communication and Janicke did all of the above. In all honesty this was probably the smoothest transaction I have had in my 17 years of being a real estate agent. Thank you again for your professionalism on the sale of Kansas Street in North Park. It was a true pleasure bringing in the buyer for this purchase and having you as the agent on the other side. Would love to do more deals with you.”

“We decided to buy a house in San Diego in the roughest market for buyers probably ever. In order to be successful, we knew that we needed an amazing real estate agent. Janicke came highly recommended by friends and family for her top 1% performance nationwide. We started house hunting together, and after 2 weeks working with Janicke and only two offers, we were able to close on a beautiful home within 21 days. Janicke is extremely professional, knowledge of the San Diego market, and friendly. I was most impressed by Janicke’s helpfulness and responsiveness. In summary, if you are looking for a top real estate agent in San Diego, I would strongly recommend Janicke and her team.”
