We have used Jean on several real estate transactions. She is GREAT! What sets her apart from many of her colleagues is her tenacity in getting the job done until the very end (even after the sale has closed and there are still details to follow up on)... She is also pleasant, market knowledgeable and easy to work with. We have been involved in the purchase and sale of homes for many years and we believe Jean is one of the best out there. We highly recommend her. read more

Jean is knowledgeable, caring, honest, and understanding. She was engaged and supportive throughout every step of the home buying process, as we tried to find our dream starter house in the worst market possible. She never showed anything but dedication to do her absolute best. In fact, if it weren't for Jean's quick thinking, we wouldn't have gotten the house we did. I am so lucky to have worked with her and we LOVE the house -- especially the kitchen! read more

We love Jean! My husband Ben and I just bought our first single family home in San Mateo thanks to Jean. She was patient, thorough, and totally committed to helping us find and buy our dream home. Initially, I was excited about working with Jean because she's easy to talk to and she's a great listener. Throughout our home-buying journey, I really appreciated how she explained things in a way that made sense and was always available to answer our questions. We viewed a lot of homes with Jean and I appreciate how quickly she was able to get us in to see places, keeping in mind all the COVID-related protocols. I also appreciate how she worked around our schedule. Being able to see so many homes and talk with Jean about them really helped us understand what we wanted. When we viewed our new home, we knew right away that it was the perfect fit for us. Jean worked quickly to get our offer together, and she made sure it was our best offer. I felt really confident in Jean during this time. And then our offer was accepted! The rest of the buying process went super smoothly thanks to Jean's attention to detail, organization, and responsiveness. We will recommend Jean to everyone we know. She is super good at her job, and really just a wonderful person. Thank you Jean! read more

We sold our home with Jean Joh. The whole process was really smooth. She helped us get our house into shape for the sale and also did a great job working with the stager and photographer. We had multiple offers for the house and were very happy with the final price. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

Jean Joh - Perisson Real Estate - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Millbrae, California

As someone who's been in the construction services industry for a lifetime, I've come to appreciate how rare it is to do business with someone who does what they say they'll do, who stays on top of the details of the process ... and who will see the job to completion without being hounded. Jean is absolutely one of those rare professionals. Watching her do her work for our family has been a real pleasure and the outcome is perfect. Thank you so very much for all of your hard work and for taking such good care of our family. You will be the one we recommend to anyone in the future! read more

Five Stars is not a high enough rating for Jean Joh. She helped us buy our first house and 10 years later, Jean helped us sell it. I can't say enough excellent things about Jean. If we hadn't moved out of state, we would have used Jean again. Who knows, if we ever move back to the Bay Area, Jean will be the first one we call. I strongly recommend that when it comes time to buy or sell your home, you listen to what she has to say. read more

Jean is very easy to work with and also very knowledgeable. She helped us navigate through first time selling of a condo. Definitely recommend her read more

Jean Joh is one of the best agents I have worked with on Peninsula. I have known her for many years and always have a great relationship with her. Recently, we bought a new place on Peninsula and needed to sell my old house. Jean went above and beyond to help us in both processes, we can't be happier than that. Buying was a little dramatic but she did an awesome job presenting our offer that actually impressed the listing agent so much that we won the bid. Selling was lighting fast, we had the house on the market for a little over a week and it was sold right before Christmas! We received so many good feedback from our open houses and multiple offers in today's "softer" market. I highly recommend her for all your real estate business. You will be impressed with her professionalism, communication and organizational skills. read more

There should be an option for 10 stars! And they should be platinum, better than gold! As a fellow real estate agent and broker/owner of my own real estate company in far northern California, I am extremely impressed with Jean. As a colleague, I know what to look for ...and Jean has it! Her whole aura is levels above most in this profession. She is a true professional. What does that mean? Well, she is dedicated to helping people through the process, no matter how long it takes or what challenges come up (and believe me, in real estate, there are always challenges), she is thorough, detail-oriented, caring, honest, "cool, calm and collected" at all times, and has a deep humility that is rare. She is organized, on-time, has "her people," works very well with others and "gets the job done." She takes her fiduciary duties seriously; when you are dealing with the largest investment of your life, you MUST be able to trust your real estate argent. Jean tops the list! There are many "salespersons" who are only eager to "get the next sale"; and then there are those very rare real estate professionals who truly understand and bring the whole human approach to this process of selling (or buying) a home. They are genuine, honest, caring, humble, and see their work as a mission of sorts, a mission to help their fellow human beings through what can be a most challenging process of selling a family home or buying their first ever home: Jean Joh is that person. This was a very difficult process for my siblings and I; to "let go" of the home we all grew up in, spent holidays in as adults with our own children, had weddings, birthday parties, and many other life events in, over the course of 60 years ...Jean's sensitivities, cool and calm demeanor when things got emotional for us, gentle persuasions and kind care and respect for our feelings and for the home was profound. She showed her tenderness and care from her first walk-through. As a "colleague," I was doubly impressed by her thoroughness in understanding the entire property and all of its nooks and crannies and idiosyncrasies (an 1894 Victorian has lots of both!) We had already interviewed 3 other agents, but Jean "blew each of them out of the water" with her attention to detail, follow-up, care for our wishes and concerns, and sensitivities to our memories, the "loss" of our parents... and now the family home. Jean knows her market very well. AND she knew the BEST strategy for pricing and negotiations to bring in the highest and best offer. She is a magic genie at THAT! She earns 10 PLATINUM stars in my book. I am extremely PROUD to call her a fellow Realtor, and highly, HIGHLY recommend her. (But, I am guessing you figured that out already.) read more

If you've been looking for a real estate agent, stop your search here and give Jean a call at the very least. I can't recommend her enough and plan on recommending her to anyone I know in the future who's looking to buy or sell. I first started working with Jean back in January; I expressed my desire to get into the housing market but wasn't really sure what I wanted. She was able to give me different suggestions based on my price range and what I was comfortable with but at the time I decided there wasn't anything I was seeing on the market that really caught my attention. Over the next few months I wasn't actively searching but she would check-in on me and send me listings that might've fit the bill for me which I appreciated! When I finally decided to start searching more actively in July, Jean was extremely helpful. She helped arrange viewings of at least 4 different condos around San Mateo County. She also took COVID precautions very seriously and always had extra gloves, hand sanitizer, and shoe coverings on hand. She also sent me video tours of places I was interested in on a few occasions without me ever needing to ask. And once I finally found a condo I loved, she proved to be knowledgeable, timely, and patient (with all my first-timer questions, lol). Other reviews mention how on top of things she is and that was also my experience with her. She was in contact with the listing agent and my loan agent daily as we were waiting for the appraisal to be scheduled. I think we were all stressed but knowing that Jean was keeping on top of everything helped me feel more at ease. Jean was by far my favorite person to work with through the entire buying process. She never once made me feel like a bother for asking simple questions and made sure that I knew she was always there to help. She was able to offer her opinions without making it sound like they were the only "right" answer. She was always friendly and helpful and I loved working with her. I hope to work with her when I look to size up in the future. Even now, three weeks after closing, she still checks in with me to make sure my moving process is going smoothly. TLDR; Jean is an amazing real estate agent who is knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and always on top of things. I especially recommend her if you're a first-time home buyer. read more

We knew of Jean because she's very active in our community (schools, volunteer drives, etc.). We chose to work with her on the purchase of a condo in Redwood City because we had interviewed her previously for another transaction and she came out ahead of two other, also excellent, real estate agents. I personally love that Jean is extremely responsive (at all hours too, does she ever sleep?), detail-oriented and has EXCELLENT follow-through. These are all traits that are very important to me. I would highly recommend Jean for any real estate needs. read more

My wife and I purchased a home in 2013 and Jean made the process so easy and transparent for us. We tried a couple different agents before meeting Jean, but found all of them too pushy, too impersonal, or just didn't fit what we were looking for. Jean was perfect because she was very intuitive and became exactly what we needed. My wife and I changed our minds, shifted around our goals and pretty much were probably a huge pain the ass to work with, but Jean was great through it all. She was like our personal realtor Terminator, but the like the liquid metal guy from Terminator II, played by Robert Patrick, morphing and shape shifting into a super ultra efficient home buying machine. The end result was that the whole home buying process turned out to be pretty fun, and we found a perfect place that we now call home. Jean made every step of the process, from searching and going to open houses, to drafting and negotiating offers, seem very approachable. I would highly recommend Jean if you are looking to buy or sell your home! read more

Jean Joh is the best!! Not only did Jean help me sell my parent's house but she also helped me with my first home purchase earlier this year. Jean stuck with me for about 2 years while we got a short sale approved through Bank of America. The entire process took about three years but I had Bill Moisson as my Realtor in the beginning who was equally as good. There were times when we thought we hit a dead end but Jean was always there encouraging and seeing the transaction through. It was a tough 3 years but we were able to get HAFA and move forward with our next project. After we got the short sale out of the way, we moved forward with my first home purchase. Everything went smoothly and Jean even stepped up to the plate when I was going through an ordeal with my Mortgage Broker. In the end, everything was handled to my satisfaction. Jean was there to see me through a rough period while we get a short sale handled and then through probably one of the best moments of life in obtaining my first home. Jean's resilience is amazing. Everything with Jean was a breeze. She explained everything in plainest terms and made sure I wasn't getting jiffed. I never had any doubt that Jean was working on my behalf. Her professionalism and attention to detail is something to admire. She is always there when you need her no matter what time you call. I never had a problem getting a call back if a call was ever missed. Should you not understand something, Jean will make sure you understand it before you sign anything. I couldn't of asked for a better Realtor in both the transactions I've made and have no doubt in my mind that she will be my Realtor in the next transaction I make (which is hopefully soon!). Definitely the Realtor you want on your side. I've made a lot of recommendations on Yelp but hiring Jean Joh as your Realtor takes the cake. It is a no brainier! read more

Jean is awesome! She has made every step of finding and purchasing a home seem easy for my husband and I. She is patient, thoughtful, responsive, and really look after our interests. In addition, she is very intuitive and not pushy, which I consider very important qualities for a Realtor. When we worked with her to look for our dream home a couple years ago, we had many constraints and my husband and I had very different requirements. Jean would always take both our views into consideration when sending us the short lists of homes. She also accommodated our baby girl's schedule when we were out viewing homes (yes, she even babysat for us so we could pop in and out of each property). After she got to know us more over time, she would track down homes that we might like before they went on the public listings. That is how we found our home. We beat our competition to it because she was on top of the game. Her professional services didn't stop at finding us a home, which is only half of the battle. She was an immense help during the closing process. She was always at our side, helping with last minute negotiation, communicate with bank, title company, etc. and kept the process moving to meet our closing deadline. We were amazed at her attention to details and how thorough she was. We are so thankful to have found her as our Realtor. read more

We are getting our keys today! All thanks to Jean! We met Jean back in 2011, we had an extremely long journey ... and bought our first condo in May 2012. Jean never gave up on us , she stuck by our side helping us keep our faith strong. We reconnected with Jean a few months ago to sell our condo & purchase a bigger home. Again, it was a bumpy ride with banks, loans etc. Jean was always trying to find us the best deal , and very understanding . We sold our place, and found a beautiful house we will call home. Words can't express how thankful we are to have Jean as our realtor ( more like family for us) . I always tell my husband that more people in this world need to be like Jean, and have her work ethic. Jean goes above and beyond to help! Thank you so much Jean! - The Ramirezes read more

I'm so glad I worked with Jean in buying my home. She was very patient, provided a lot guidance since this was my first time buying, and was knowledgeable about the local market. At the same time, she made me feel like I was in control of the decision making process and definitely had my best interests in mind. She was available at all hours for questions. Even after we closed, Jean continued to be involved, ensuring I had a smooth move. I'm so grateful for Jean going above and beyond during this process and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! read more

Jean is as good as it gets when it comes to real estate professionals. Almost 10 years ago, she had helped us look for investment property in the Bay Area. Since then, she's gained even more experience and now has gathered a team in her brokerage covering not just the Peninsula but the South Bay and beyond. But in all these years, her commitment to clients have been consistent since the beginning. In the past 3 years, Jean has listed two homes for us, both in the San Jose area. In the most recent one, we listed a home at a time and place in which the local market seemed stagnant. So a quick easy sale was far from guaranteed. Jean led us through the process of getting the home ready. Then when it was listed, she was able to skillfully generate buyer interest, which led to multiple offers and in the end a great price. I use the word "skill" because, most realtors would have stuck by a playbook, but she was attentive to every buyer interest and actually shifted strategies from day to day to make the sale happen. Once the offers started coming in, she negotiated to get a great deal while remaining transparent with us each step of the way. Many agents are good at the mechanics of listing or finding homes, but I suspect very few are really good at negotiating on their client's behalf. Jean is a great negotiator and I'm glad we had her representing us. Commitment to her clients, willingness to act with expertise and skill, and ability to negotiate...these are winning attributes and she stands out above the rest. read more

3.5 stars. We worked with Jean regarding a house she was selling. She was very good at showing the house and at initially not pressuring us. The pressure came later and I wasn't impressed. read more

I know that five stars across the board seems impossibly high in an honest review, but in my experience with Jean and her company, Perisson Real Estate, they completely deserved all of the stars. Jean guided us through the entire process of selling a house, from preparation through closing. Every bit of advice was accurate, timely and helpful. I would choose Jean again without hesitation. read more

It is hard for me to put into words how incredible Jean is to work with. She is passionate, professional and lovely to deal with in everyway. She is extremely knowledgeable and she went above and beyond to guide us throughout our journey to buying our home. We were so lucky to work with her. We are the kind of people that think we are low maintenance, but really we are high maintenance and need a realtor that would answer calls/texts early in the morning to late at night. I am looking forward to not just referring to her as my realtor, but now as a friend. If yelp would let me, I would give her 100 stars!!! read more

Our experience as a home buyer could not be better. Jean made sure that we really understand every detail and completely mitigate all the possible risks. She provided this comfortable fluffy feeling throughout the whole process and created this ambient where we were encouraged to ask any question at any time. Jean is precise and kind, you can easily recognize that her inputs are backed up with a lot of experience. I am an construction management professional, worked around the world for many years and my opinion is that Jean Joh is definitely providing the highest level of service you can possibly get in this industry. read more

Jean Joh started to spending tons of mails constantly over a year ago. I asked her 5 or 6 times verbally and by emails not to send me any paper mails or emails. She didn't get it?? She still kept asking me if I can send you by email? I said "NO, make it clear and repeat "Do Not Spend me "ANY" mails including email and paper mails. Even though I registered with Do Not Mail Registry, she recently sent me 2 mails now. This time is a calender that is going to the trash!! Not sure how to make her stop? UPDATE: She sent a yelp message apologize and not to send me more mails. Why two more mails are just mailed to me again..??? read more

i should have written this review 3 yrs ago but it is never too late. i was referred to Jean by one of my friend. She helped me buy my first condo. she was very helpful in providing me all the information i needed and was very patient and responded to all my emails really quick. She took care of all the paper work and i really liked how she used docusign for it. I would definitely go with her next time if i need help buying a house :-) read more

We've worked with Jean twice now -- first to sell my mother-in-law's house and now to sell my mom's condo. From preparing the properties for sale through closing, she had great advice and was quick to respond to questions and concerns. Her knowledge of the real estate market and good instincts are especially valuable when it comes to evaluating offers and counteroffers. In short, she made it easy for us. Sure, it's a sellers' market, but I'd also recommend Jean to buyers for her honesty, integrity and professionalism. From talking to her, I know she cares a lot about the buyers in this overheated market, and I'm really happy that we not only got a great selling price but that we got wonderful people as buyers for our properties. read more

My experience in working with Jean on the sell and buy side of transactions has far exceeded my expectations in every regard. 1. We've had a relationship with Jean for over 6 years prior to ever buying or selling a property. Jean is truly interested in what is right for the client -- whether or not they are ready to buy/sell immediately or several years down the road. The amount of work and dedication that Jean has put into our best interests far exceeds just what it took to sell our current home and buy our future dream home. I truly appreciate the time and effort she put into this 6 year roadmap to getting us into the house we have dreamed of owning. 2. Jean is uber organized. She is not only on top of the things she needs to do as a realtor -- she is on top of everything that all parties need to do as far as the transaction goes. She has put together multiple timelines for us and she knows what each party needs to get done -- this includes the other real estate agents, our loan contact, inspectors. You name it, she is on top of it. It really relieves the client of all the stress and worry. 3. Jean is a great negotiator and a trusted advisor. When it came time to negotiate both the buy and sell side of our transaction, Jean treated us like family -- she fought for us as if her finances were at stake. She provided us with good advice throughout the process and ultimately we were successful in getting the house we wanted at a reasonable price in a seller's market. 4. Jean is a great communicator. I never had to ask what the status was of either of our buy/sell transactions. Jean was always informing us of the status of items in a timely manner. Even though I know she had other transactions ongoing, she made us feel like her most important and only client. 5. Marketing genius -- Jean took care of staging, marketing brochures, 3D home modeling, and everything in between. Check out her 3D floorplan viewing services -- it's like being at the home without having to drive there. This was one of the ways Jean gave us maximum exposure in a relatively short sell-side transaction period. 6. Complex transaction? No problem -- Jean will have you covered. We had a complex buy and sell transaction. Jean let us know up front that we may have risks with the contingencies we needed to put in place -- very important knowledge for any buyer. But she also made the process seem like a walk in the park. We got our offer accepted on our dream house, even with our contingency on the sale of our current house -- not easy in this seller's market. I'm not an easy reviewer -- and being a former consultant, I expect a lot for any service provider that I hire. Jean has far exceeded my expectations and I wholeheartedly recommend her services for buy and/or sell side transactions. Thanks, Jean! read more

If you are looking for a honest, ethical, and reliable agent to work with, Jean is absolutely the right person for you. Jean's skilled strategies and professional work attitude have helped us to get the house in such competitive bay area house market, within the budget and at our ideal location. A lot of time she made us feel that she doesn't sleep at all, then you know how hardworking she is. Jean is always very patience on explaining everything that we have concerns or inquiries with , and she walked the entire buying process with us which made us feel secured and safe from beginning to the end. Jean's work doesn't just stop there after we closed the escrow. She would often check in with us and see if we need any of her help or referrals to get the house work done before our move-in day. Thank you Jean ! read more

Jean has just helped us bought a condo. It has been the 2nd property that we worked with Jean and successfully get the deal done. She is very patient and detail oriented. Me and my wife won't need to double check anything knowing that Jean will have everything covered for us. Highly recommended!! read more

I was searching for a realtor who had knowledge and experience in short sales when I came across Jean Joh from 8z Real Estate Peninsula. I considered myself lucky that I found her. Not only did I find her to be knowledgeable, and experienced but also possessing a low key style with no pressure. She is very honest and fair as I found out while looking at homes. She even volunteered to drive a good distance away from her area to open a home for me to view. The noteworthy part is that I was stunned that she would be willing to do this during the holiday season on her day off and not in her jurisdictional area. Also in addition to that, she volunteered to find me a realtor who knew the county property that was out of the area in which I was interested in viewing. She is excellent at following up, as well as keeping in contact with her clients. I give her five stars and will use her again if I need a realtor in the future. read more

Jean and our family go way back in 2009 when she helped us find our first home in the bay area. Because we had a wonderful experience with Jean, we decided to seek her expertise again when we made the decision to move from East bay to the Peninsula. She made selling of our house in the East bay stress-free. Jean was very organized, professional, and really helped us prepare our house for the sale. She also used 8z's new 3D tour which is like google maps inside the house! I think this tool is awesome and very helpful especially for buyers who are not able to be physically present to check out a property. After sale of our house, she helped us find our next house and that actually started even prior to selling our house. It took us more than a year to find our new place but Jean remained positive and tirelessly continued to look for a place that meets our family's needs and preferences. We are moving to our new place soon and our family is very grateful for all of Jean's hard work, professionalism, and patience. Jean is not just our realtor but we consider her a friend of our family. read more
