JO KENNEY

From our very first meeting, Jo asked me about my priorities, what I wanted, what was most important and most meaningful to me, and she genuinely listened--both carefully and closely--to my answers. Her deep sensitivity was matched by her patience and commitment to finding the perfect place for me, one that met not only my priorities, but also my more intangible hopes and dreams. As a first-time home buyer, I relied on Jo's expertise in walking me through every step of the process. She understood when to stand back and let me view matters in my own time, and when to offer her own experienced judgments and counsel. When we closed, I truly felt that her excitement was every bit as deep as my own. She is a joy to work with and I feel most grateful for her collaboration and, even more, for her evident care.

As newcomers to Atlanta and wanting to live in the school district of Decatur, Jo oriented us to the Decatur housing market. This was really useful as we were not familiar with the intricacies of buying a house in the USA. Jo arranged appointments for us to view a number of houses that we liked and patiently listened and answered the numerous questions that we had. Jo was always at the end of the phone line or email when we needed her sage advice. She connected us with a loan agent and hand held us through the entire process including the offer, inspection and closure. I have already referred her to a number of my friends and work colleagues and will not hesitate to utilize her services in the future.

Jo was a wonderful agent! Her calm, level-headed demeanor helped reduce our stress and made our first-time home buying experience feel more comfortable than we expected it would be - particularly considering we were out of state during our search. She was knowledgable, communicative, and a joy to work with. We never felt pressured to make any hasty decisions, and once we found a house we loved she handled everything smoothly and without delay. We’d recommend Jo to anyone looking for a home, particularly if they are hoping for an agent who is highly responsive but not overbearing.

We worked with Jo for both selling our home and purchasing a new one. She made the whole process easy and we were very pleased with her expertise and patience. Through the whole process of selling (from advising us on getting our home ready to sell, determining its best price once we were finally ready, and negotiating offers) she provided valuable insight and had great connections for everything we needed. When our sale was complete and we were ready to start the buying process she made that part a breeze as well. Her wealth of knowledge throughout the entire process left us very pleased and with a new home we love! We highly recommend Jo to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Jo was a great professional and helped us navigate the challenges of selling a house. It all started with an assessment of things we needed to fix/improve before putting it on the market - it had been a rental for a couple years so the house had been somewhat neglected. While the list seemed overwhelming at first, Jo made the whole process so easy - she helped coordinate all the work and let the contractors into the house to take that hassle off my plate - she went above and beyond. When it came to negotiating a deal, she made sure we didn't accept offers that were too low, and she worked tirelessly to make sure an offer came in that exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Jo.
