Testimonials

My clients are my best advertising!

Referrals from my satisfied clients and friends comprise 95% of my new clients, and these referrals are the foundation of my business.

I devote myself to serving the needs of my clients before, during, and especially after each transaction. It takes a strong belief in the quality of my service to make this kind of commitment to you.

I love my work, particularly since I have the opportunity to work with people who have been referred to me by people like you, people who are looking for the highest possible level of service and are appreciative of this service.  My clients are very complimentary of every aspect of my performance in the home purchase or selling process.

Here is what some of Joan's clients have to say about her:

"Joan you are the ultimate professional! You were organized, patient and methodical in your approach to helping us find the perfect home. You were always available to answer questions and explain the process of purchasing a home to us. You made our search so easy and streamlined. We appreciated your efforts to always stay in touch, both during the initial search and then during the close process. We recommend you to our friends and colleagues with confidence. Thank you again for helping us find the perfect home."

"From our first meeting, Joan was extremely professional, committed and efficient. She focused on our real estate wants and needs, not on what she thought we would like. Her coaching, recommendations and negotiation skills during the purchase process were superb and greatly reduced the anxiety associated with purchasing a new home."

Melissa

 

"Joan, we want to thank you for your professional attitude and work ethic. Your desire to keep me appraised and a head of every step was well appreciated. You were with me at every turn and your knowledge of how things would flow was a tremendous asset. Everything worked on the timeline just as you said it should because we were prepared. Again I thank you and I will recommend you to my friends and clients."

"As first time home buyers, it was reassuring to have a realtor, like Joan that takes the time to explain every aspect of buying a house. You were in constant contact with us and made us feel as if we were your top priority.  Joan went above and beyond the typical realtor - she would even distract a rambunctious two years old so my husband and I could look at houses leisurely. When she showed us our new home, Joan worked diligently to negotiate the best possible deal and always kept a professional and friendly attitude. Joan was there for us every step of the way we highly recommend her as  a professional realtor."

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joan Bornstein for helping my wife and I find and buy our new family home. Joan not only helped us find and buy the home we wanted but were instrumental in helping us decide exactly what type of home we should be looking for and in which areas. Your knowledge of the market is impressive and I would recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell in the South Bay. Additionally, when it came time to close escrow, I could not have asked for more. You made an extremely stressful process much less so and handled all the small and not so small details. Thank you again."

"My wife and I were introduced to Joan Bornstein over the web while looking for information on homes in San Jose CA. Joan was very helpful and very informative from the start. We worked with them for several months long distance from the east coast, where were relocating from. We must have seen over 25 houses with them and there was never any pressure to purchase a home immediately. After our home on the east coast was under contract, the heat was turned up to find an acceptable home quickly. Larry and Joan stuck with us through the bitter end and help us find a beautiful home in Almaden valley. It was in the contract and negotiating phase that their real strengths came through. They worked very closely with the selling agent to learn what was needed in an offer to give us the best opportunity of winning the home as this was a multiple offer scenario. They were constantly updating us on the progress and made sure every 'I' was dotted and 'T' was crossed. Our experience in working with Larry and Joan was outstanding. I would highly recommend working with them on the purchase or sale of a home."

"Selling your home is one of the hardest things to do! I made the mistake of trying to do so with one of those cheap do it yourself outfits. Bad idea! The saying of: "You get what you pay for" was truly experienced. What a waste of energy, time, and most of all emotions. I called Joan because they told me about THEIR companies philosophy, pricing model and most of all about their commitment and dedication to their clients. With the Bittner & Bornstein Team, I received a competitive price, one on one contact at all times, a person who cares about me and my family, worked around our schedules, but most of all, their unwavering discipline about "constant communication". Dedication, exceptional service, personal touch, comprehensive approach, teamwork, clarity, advocate and a fair competitive price are just a few words that come to mind when I think about Larry and Joan and Asante. You always look for companies who not only walks the talk but also goes above your expectations... Well I found it... Thanks Larry and Joan for taking care of my family... BTW: They did sell our home and in just 2 weeks! Partner with Larry and Joan, you will thank yourself for it.!"

Paul and Jenny

 

"Joan , I would like to put into words how deeply I appreciate the hard work and long hours you have put into making my dreams of selling my house a reality, so that I can move on with my new life and house. I will be forever grateful and in awe of your dedication and caring. I didn't know a Company had people like you.  May your lives be blessed. Thank you, always with regards,"

Diane and Mr. Bear

 

"This is a brief note to thank Joan for her outstanding help and suggestions in the sale of our home. We appreciate her hard work and weekly reports. She wa a delight to work with."

Chris & Susan and Chris J

 

"My wife and I were discussing how much we appreciate your honestly. I would guess many Realtors would try to convince us to take the risk just so they can move on to the next client, so we both were really impressed on how you were basically telling us this wasn't a good idea. It made us feel good about yesterday and our whole experience with you guys. Again, we truly appreciate it!"
