Honestly, I was initially daunted by the idea of purchasing a first home. I had no idea where to start, what to do, nothing. Fortunately for me, Jo masterfully helped me in navigating the occasionally turbulent waters. First, let me commend her on her responsiveness. My Fiancé and I planned to look at homes casually one weekend with no real plans for purchase, yet we happened to find the perfect home after only a few open houses. Knowing that homes can go quickly in Denver’s fast market, we contacted Jo to see if she could help us. That same day, she scheduled a walk through. Not only this, she pointed out items that we did not initially see that could come up in an inspection. Spoiler alert: they did. Thanks to her expert knowledge, we knew exactly what to expect on the inspection report, and this was just from the initial walk through. We had an offer in that same weekend, and got our home under contract by Monday. I thought it would be smooth sailing after this. It was anything but. We had issues with the seller, and especially the seller’s agent, none of which are here nor there for the purposes of this review. When the seller became too difficult for us to stomach, we agreed to cancel the contract. Jo was not pushy, as I would expect a real estate agent to be, instead she commended our choice and agreed to help us look further. The seller, not expecting our hard stance, then said he would do all of the work we’d originally requested. Rather than simply agreeing to this, Jo negotiated an additional $1,000 off of our closing costs to be paid by the seller! We were back on. The process went smoothly after we showed we were willing to walk away from the deal. Any other agent, and I’m sure we would have felt more pressure, and probably would not have received that extra money off of closing. I feel this is worth reiterating: In one of the hottest housing markets in the country, Jo helped us get the first home we placed an offer on, and when the going got tough, Jo was in our corner fighting for us, and significant savings on the closing was the result. I could not recommend her more. This is a tough market, make sure you have someone willing to go the extra mile for you. Thank you again for all if your help, Jo
