Jane Volpe was our agent when we sold our house in Palo Alto. I interviewed 4 different agents and she was the one we chose. She was fantastic. She had great ideas on how to position the house in the market, saw how to use staging to update the house and turned the shed into a studio, and knew when it was worth it to spend money and when it was not. She responded immediately to our questions and concerns, stayed on top of all the details so we didn't have to, knew how to price it to get multiple offers, and got us a great price. She was also personable and fun! I highly recommend her!

Carolyn Botts Brokerage Skills. Carolyn worked as the lead broker in support of two sales transactions for my wife and I in 2019. The two sales were worked on consecutively over an 8-month period. We were in virtually daily contact with Carolyn. The first transaction was the sale of a condo owned by wife’s mother in Mountain View and the second was the sale of our residence in Los Altos. The total value of the two transactions was in excess of $4.7 KK. In both situations Carolyn displayed in depth knowledge of the local real estate markets. Pricing is critical and Carolyn was able to identify the best price ranges; in both cases our homes were sold almost immediately – meeting our overriding objective of moving quickly in a rapidly changing market. With her experience in the local markets Carolyn has a long list of home service professionals she can call upon and recommend to do the detailed preparation needed for a successful sale. As importantly, Carolyn will very carefully tell you what she thinks should be done to sell your property effectively, but will leave the decisions up to you; she excels at making clear what the effects will be of either doing or not doing something. Once a decision is made she will support the effort wholeheartedly – even if the decision was against her recommendation. Carolyn is always accessible, responds very quickly to urgent issues and is easy to work with. She is a detail-oriented advisor with a sense of humor that helps keep difficult situations from distracting from the ultimate objective. We had to work through several incidents that could have cost us weeks of lost time and sale revenue. Carolyn was a stabilizing influence. In summary, Carolyn is an effective, pleasant and engaging professional. Listen carefully to her advice and counsel and you will be well served.
