Jennifer was the listing agent when I bought my house in Los Angeles, California. I went to an open house and didn't have an agent. She indicated to me that she does not represent both sides of a R/E transaction and suggested another Realtor. During my time of owning the home, Jennifer was a great resource for contractors and other people as she is a Southern California native. As such, when I chose to sell my home, she was an easy choice. She went above and beyond the call of duty and really helped me get my house ready for sale. I referred her to a co-worker of mine as she was getting transferred back East. She was also thrilled with Jennifer. Also, she is a Full-time Realtor. This is her profession. She truly is a professional!

"It is hard to imagine a better real estate agent than Jennifer Gainey. Through the entire process, she was helpful above and beyond what was expected. When repairs needed to be made, she knew of tradesmen and contractors that would do the work on time, on budget and at competitive prices. Her knowledge of current design trends meant renovations were made to increase value and salability. And when the unfortunate situation arose that the houses on both sides of mine were put up for sale at the same time, her knowledge of the market led her to determine a price point that was so accurate, that not only did I have multiple bids, but my house sold within 10 days, while the two other houses remained unsold for weeks afterward. Through it all, her grace, humor, expertise and professionalism helped keep what could have been a highly stressful situation on track towards ultimate success. Truly - I could not have done it without her.”

“Our trusted realtor”
Jennifer Gainey is an amazing realtor. She has helped us buy and sell our last two homes, and we wouldn’t dream of using anyone else.
Our latest sale was tricky because we were outside of the country and couldn’t be around to deal with all the things that needed to be done. Jennifer went above and beyond the call of duty in dealing with our rental management company and homeowners association, arranging repairs, and staging the house, all before listing it and juggling all the viewings. We quickly had an interested buyer, and Jennifer handled the escrow and transfer process without any hassle. It all felt quick and easy for us, but that’s because Jennifer works long and hard to make it seem quick and easy.
Not only is she our trusted realtor, she’s become our friend. We recommend Jen without reservation.

“Jen changed our entire future for the better”
If you choose Jennifer Gainey of John Aaroe Group, you will then be spoiled forever because no other real estate agent could possibly come close. Her professional expertise, her energy, her honesty and her sincerity make her unique and precious.
Jen truly cares about her clients and their situations. Whether you are the buyer or the seller, she will work above and beyond to get the very best price. She will support you through the entire stressful process (and make it less stressful), give amazing design tips to make your house more marketable, work long hours to get the job done, and give advice based on years of experience.
There are no words to express how grateful my husband and I are for Jen’s help in selling our house of 39 years. Within a week of going on the market, there were eleven bids. The final amount was $83,000 over asking price. Needless to say, Jen changed our entire future for the better. Thanks to her, we have now retired comfortably!

Jennifer helped us get our unit back in shape and helped us sell our townhouse in Santa Monica – $70K over asking price.

Let me preface this review by saying that, in general, realtors are not my favorite people. But, Jennifer Gainey is truly the exception. She came highly recommended by my sister and brother-in-law who own multiple properties and have used her services extensively.
Specifically, Jennifer helped us to sell our townhouse in Santa Monica. At the time, we had been living out of State for over five years, and the unit was being rented at a significant loss. Even so, we couldn’t afford to float the property unoccupied. When our tenants moved out my guidance to Jennifer was to sell the unit “as fast as possible.” At the same time, we were concerned that the property was underwater and we certainly didn’t want to owe anything to the bank.
Step one, Jennifer helped us to get the unit back in shape. We repainted, re-carpeted, made some minor repairs, had the unit thoroughly cleaned, and then staged it with high-end furnishings. Jennifer project managed the entire process in about a week and a half. She supervised multiple vendors at the same time and coordinated everything. She was also highly involved in the design process (paint & carpet color selections, furniture choices, etc.) since we couldn’t be there. The outcome? The unit looked gorgeous.
