The Keys to Your Home

JO GUIDED US THROUGH A VERY DIFFICULT HOUSING MARKET. WHEN WE FOUND “THE ONE”, WE WERE ABLE TO BEAT OUT 8 OTHER OFFERS WITHOUT HAVING THE HIGHEST OFFER THANKS TO HER CREATIVITY AND THE RELATIONSHIP SHE WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH WITH THE SELLER AND SELLER’S AGENT. WE NEVER ONCE DOUBTED THAT JO WAS WORKING IN OUR BEST INTEREST.

A CURRENT TREND IS TO REDUCE THE INVOLVEMENT OF REALTORS BY USING DISCOUNT AGENTS BUT WE WOULD NOT BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY IF WE HAD TAKEN THIS ROUTE.

WE WILL ALWAYS CONSIDER JO OUR REALTOR OF RECORD AND A CLOSE FRIEND.

MARI AND KEITH N. (USN)

I AM GRATEFUL FOR HAVING SUCH AMAZING CLIENTS

JO WAS COMMUNICATIVE, REASSURING AND PROFESSIONAL, WHILE MAINTAINING HER INCREDIBLE SENSE OF HUMOR THROUGHOUT.

JO GUIDED US SO WELL EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, MAKING SUGGESTIONS WHILE RESPECTING OUR RIGHTS AND WISHES AS THE SELLERS/HOMEOWNERS.

SHE WAS HONEST AND WORKED HARD TO ENSURE IT WAS FAIR AND HONEST DEAL FOR ALL INVOLVED. WE RESPECTED AND APPRECIATED THAT ABOUT HER. I WOULD NOT HESITATE AT ALL IN RECOMMENDING JO TO REPRESENT ANY OF MY FRIENDS.

TERRI AND JOHNSTON M.

JOJO IS THE BEST! SHE HELPED US FIND AND BUY A HOUSE FAST—FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WITHOUT US EVER SEEING THE HOUSE IN PERSON. SHE WAS OUR REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE INSPECTIONS AND REPAIR WORK AND MADE EVERYTHING INCREDIBLY SMOOTH. SHE WAS ON TOP OF ALL THE PAPERWORK AND WAS VERY TIMELY AND THOROUGH IN FOLLOWING UP WITH US. JOJO WAS A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS. SHE WAS ENCOURAGING AND HAD A GREAT ATTITUDE. WE CAN’T RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY ENOUGH!

KELSEY AND JAKE Y. (USMC)

AS A FIRST TIME HOME BUYER , I NEEDED A LOT OF HELP AND GUIDANCE. JOJO WAS THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY WITH AN INTELLIGENT AND FRIENDLY MANNER.

SHE ANSWERED QUESTIONS, GAVE ADVICE AND MADE RECOMMENDATIONS WITH INFINITE PATIENCE AND A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. SHE TRANSLATED COMPLEX LEGAL DOCUMENTS INTO PLAIN ENGLISH, HELPED ME SHOP FOR AND PURCHASE ITEMS TO RENOVATE A NEGLECTED CONDO INTO A REALLY NICE HOME…WHILE I WAS STILL LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOJO TO ANYONE.

DAN R.

I WAS MAKING AN INTERNATIONAL MOVE-WITH PETS! I NEEDED TO LET GO OF ANYTHING REGARDING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE SALE. JO HANDLED IT SMOOTHLY, REDUCING THE STRESS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, SUPPORTING ME THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

YOU WILL NOT FIND A MORE HONEST, CARING AND INTELLIGENT PERSON THAN JOJO. EVERYTHING SHE DOES IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN INTEGRITY AND DETAIL.

SHE’LL ALWAYS PUT IN THE EXTRA MILE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY AND ACTUALLY CARES. FOR JOJO, EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS NOT JUST ABOUT GETTING BY OR JUST DOING ENOUGH BUT ACTUALLY MAKING A BETTER WORLD. WHILE SHE IS WORKING, THAT IS FINDING YOU THE PERFECT HOME.

WE SECURED MY DREAM CONDO IN LITTLE ITALY FOR ASKING PRICE—NO BIDDING WAR, THANKS TO HER!

YOU WON’T EVER REGRET CHOOSING JOJO.

THANK HEAVEN WE DIDN’T GO WITH THAT “DISCOUNT” AGENT. JO DID MORE TO GET OUR HOME READY WHILE WE HAD TO BE OUT OF TOWN WITH FAMILY ISSUES. MORE THAN THAT, SHE HANDLED REPAIRS, ETC. SO WE COULD FOCUS ON OTHER THINGS. WE ALWAYS TRUSTED THAT SHE HAD OUR BEST INTERESTS IN MIND.

SHE PROMISES A LOW STRESS TRANSACTION. WE ACTUALLY HAD FUN AND CELEBRATED THIS TRANSITIONAL TIME FOR US.

THANK YOU JOJO!

LAURA M.

“JOJO DID AN AWESOME JOB SELLING OUR OCEANSIDE PROPERTY. SHE HANDLED EVERY DETAIL- BEGINNING TO END.

I DID NOT REALIZE THE OUTSTANDING JOB SHE DID FOR US UNTIL WE PURCHASED A HOME IN TEXAS WITHOUT HER. IT WAS HORRIBLE. SEEMS WE TOOK A LOT FOR GRANTED.

BECAUSE OF HER DEDICATION AND ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL, WE WERE ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH A VERY NICE NEST EGG. SHE IS AWESOME! ! !

- JUDI A.

JO WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE THE SALE QUICK AND EASY. SHE KEEPT US INFORMED EVERY STEP OF THE WAY…A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AND I WILL RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE I KNOW WHO IS SELLING OR BUYING.

JO WAS READY WITH A BACKUP OFFERS- WHICH SAVED THE DAY WHEN THE FIRST BUYER BACKED OUT. NO WORRIES-JO HAD THE NEXT ONE SIGNED AND READY SO WE DIDN’T LOSE MUCH TIME. SHE ALWAYS PROVIDED GUIDANCE AND WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE TO HAVE HER ON OUR TEAM.

CORKY W.

JO WAS GREAT.

SHE WAS INTANTLY LIKE FAMILY AND COULD NOT HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB! HER PROFESSIONALISM AND FRIENDLY MANNER, I’M CERTAIN, HELPED TO GET OUR PLACE SOLD REALLY QUICKLY!

COULD NOT RECOMMEND HER MORE HIGHLY!

JOHN V.D.

“WOW! 5 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR JOJO.

SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE POWERHOUSE THAT GOT MY BROTHER HIS FIRST HOME HERE. THIS IS NOT EASY-HE LIVES IN SAN FRANCISCO.

JOJO WENT OVER AND ABOVE. HER COMMUNICATION IS SUPERB…GUIDING AND EDUCATING AND KEEPING US INFORMED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

DEPENDABLE, KIND AND FUNNY WHAT A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH.

IT IS A STRESSFUL PROCESS BUT SHE MADE IT FUN.

THANK YOU JOJO!”

- CARA R.

JO WAS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, MORE THAN ANY OTHER AGENT I HAVE EVER KNOWN. SHE STAGED, TOOK THINGS TO VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS FOR ME AND PROVIDED SUPPORT AND LAUGHS THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

SHE ENCOURAGED ME, WISELY PRICED AND SHOWED MY HOME-NEVER LEAVING IT UNATTENDED-ALLAYING MY FEARS OF STRANGERS WANDERING THROUGH MY THINGS....MAKING ME FEEL I WAS IMPORTANT TO HER BOTH AS A CLIENT AND A NEW FRIEND.

ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TOLD ME I HAD FOUND A GEM, A REAL JEWEL FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT TRANSITION.

JUDE S.

“JOJO WAS THE BEST! I KNEW OUR HOUSE WOULD SELL QUICKLY IN CARLSBAD, BUT IT FLEW OFF THE MARKET DUE TO JOJO STAGING THE PLACE.”

LAURA AND KEATON G. (USMC)

Jo came into our life at the perfect moment. After having awful tenants, Jo stepped in as more than a Realtor. Jo went above and beyond to walk us through the process of cleaning up, sprucing up and getting great tenants into our place! We are forever grateful for her guidance. Her work ethic is superior and you will love her attitude. We will most definitely be a repeat customer!

Joanne and Kristin W. Carlsbad

I turned 87 and the time had come to move.

I needed to sell my house but going through 20 years of stuff from wood working machinery, tools, wood, a house full of furniture to sell and many, many books was a daunting task. She put a lot of energy into helping me distribute things to worthy causes, making my home sellable always with a big smile.

I really would still be in that house had she not been there to support me. I moved out before selling. She made sure the prep work was completed and watched over my now vacant home..

Once on the market, she kept me informed on every step forward, achieving my financial goal.

I can't recommend Jo highly enough. she is the best.

Phil P. Carlsbad

Jo has located and helped me negotiate 2 office leases and finally, my home purchase.

She listens carefully to everything you want to find in your new home (or business location) and finds properties to meet those needs. She previews most everything before bringing it to you so you don't spend time on properties that aren't just right.

She knows the contract language inside and out, she stays on top of current market inventory and what is selling/not selling and why, and when it comes to working through escrow and all the documentation she is right by your side to explain and help navigate the whole process.

Jo is also a pleasure to work with, kind, thoughtful, funny and brilliant. She always has a positive attitude and a smile. All traits that are much needed when you're working through escrow!

Thank you Jo for everything and making the process as easy as possible, I can't wait for the next one!

Carol R. , Oceanside and Carlsbad

Jo is unquestionably one of the finest professionals I’ve worked with. Her knowledge of all aspects of the Real Estate business will impress anyone lucky enough to work with her. Jo is friendly, professional and, above all, honest.

She always puts her clients first and does so without pressure. You can count on Jo to provide truthful and straightforward advice. Working with Jo and getting to know her has been a great pleasure. I unreservedly recommend Jo for any of your Real Estate needs.

Frank Palumbo

I've worked with many realtors over the years (buying and selling houses), but none compared to Jo Leachman. In addition to her knowledge of real estate laws and rules, she goes above and beyond to provide a calm and stress-free experience. Her professionalism is outstanding. She is caring and considerate with a great sense of humor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family.
