"Where do I begin? Perhaps at the beginning.
Over the years my husband and I would run into you at open houses in the neighborhood. We were very impressed and decided years ago that if we ever listed our house it would be with that lovely, friendly lady.
And as I found out after becoming a widow, a caring one as well. For the year and a half that my house was rented and I was living across the country you always kept in touch to see how I was doing.
No questions who my agent would be when I returned to prepare the house for sale. As anticipated, you had sensible recommendations about what and what not to do. You also knew who the best people were to do the jobs and we started right away with your Pre Marketing Campaign. And when I had qualms you were there to soothe. You handled every crisis beautifully.
What can I say? In a dreadful market we had multiple offers the first week! So, many thanks to you and Laura for often going above and beyond the call of duty to make this happen.
I am sure you don’t need recommendations but it would be my pleasure to give a whole hearted thumbs up."

"Jennie, I am sending you this email to thank you for making the sale of my house as painless as possible. As a result of some deferred maintenance issues, I delayed listing my house with you until those repairs were made. I was about to go on an extended vacation and you advised me of the timing of listing my house and that I should take advantage of the fact that a potential buyer might want to close escrow prior to the start of the new school year. Therefore, through email and Fed-Ex, I signed the listing agreement while I was out of town. Due to a few recent sales, you suggested a sale price that was $25,000 more than we had originally discussed.
Teresa, who I had met earlier, staged my house in my absence, which included moving a lot of my furniture out into the garage as well as bringing in new items of furniture in order to enhance the appearance of the house. The house closed in less than 35 days after the listing was signed and everything went as smooth as possible. I am one who avoids change at almost every cost and this, of course, was a major change for me. I want to thank you very much for the assistance of Teresa, Laura and Toni. If I could not get a hold of you immediately, they were right there to help answer questions or minimize any anxiety I might have had. Thanks very much and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone on the area who might consider selling or buying a house."

"Just wanted to drop you a note and say how grateful we are for your outstanding leadership in selling our home on El Tovar Drive. Your recommendations on how to spruce it up– from painting the exterior, to bringing in [the stager], to the landscaping ideas– were key to what became an amazing result: the $40,000 over listing sales price in three days in one of the toughest markets in history.
Can’t thank you enough but we will try be recommending Team Manders to all of our friends."

"It is with great pleasure I am writing you about Jennie Manders and her recent handling of my folks, Robert & Marilyn, transaction. I am a seasoned broker in Santa Rosa and grew up in the house on Timberlake. My folks lived there for 37 years so it was a very emotional move to say the least. In our first meeting which I attended, I told Jennie to be prepared for my mom to cry and my step father, Bob, to be resistant, especially on the pricing. Sure enough, both things happened, Jennie handled it graciously and we were off and running. As we know in real estate, we learn things with each new deal. This was a 9 out of 10 when it comes to the difficult deals: the buyers were both attorneys, a roof needed to be replaced and there was rain to deal with and in the history of all the deals myself and Jennie have done, I doubt we have ever seen so many inspectors on one deal (I believe the final count was 13?). So when it was all said and done, Jennie secured a full price deal and eased my mom and step father throughout the transaction. They are happy clients for life. As for me, I will absolutely refer any deals in So Cal that come up in the future."
