Selling a home is a more emotionally taxing process than one would expect. We are so glad we found Jannay to be our realtor, we would go back to her again and again. Jannay's empathy, professionalism, realistic expectations, quick responses, knowledge of selling homes in Sacramento, and so much more is what makes her so great. She's on top of everything and thinks about all the things that might now cross your mind. She was extremely thoughtful in taking into consideration what we wanted and what needed to get done. She gave us extremely helpful advice when asked and lead us in the right direction at every turn . We never felt the pain of working with the bank as she took care of everything. Jannay was just the best in every way and there's not many realtors like her. We are eternally grateful for her and would recomend her to anyone that's looking to buy or sell a home.
Jannay is both professional and personable. She is highly knowledgeable about current housing market trends. She came highly recommended by a relative who lives out of the area and who has retired from his real estate career. Jannay has an extremely posititive reputation and is someone, too, I can vouch for. Selling my mother's home was both emotionally and physically difficult. Jannay was there whenever I needed her. If I was at a loss as to processes or as to who to hire for plumbing, electrical, pest inspection, window replacement, and construction projects, all I would have to do is contact Jannay and she would make her recommendations. She was always my first point-of-contact. Her quick response times were always so welcomed. She also has a strong administrative support team behind her. She is like none other when it comes to the real estate agents we have entrusted with the sale of our homes in the past. She is superior to any one of them.
I have purchased several homes from Jannay in the past and present and will keep using her because of her sixth sense in knowing what homes to pass on and the ones to go all in on. Whether it was an investment property or a new home to live in I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to represent me and my Family :)
Jannay is very knowledgeable and has the resources needed to get the job done. She is on top of all aspects of both selling and buying. Jannay goes above and beyond to make the transaction go smoothly. She makes herself available working late and weekends. She is definitely a go getter. I have hired her in the past and wouldn't hesitate to use her services in the future.
I've sold two residential properties with Jannay. She is very helpful at getting pest inspections, home inspections and repairs taken care of if necessary which takes a great deal of pressure off of the seller, especially when the seller leads a busy life. First home sold way over asking, second over asking as well. In both cases I felt the pricing was very fair. Jannay was always very responsive, had a great strategy for marketing the properties. First one sold in 4 days, 2nd sold in just 4-5 weeks. Both properties were not your typical residential homes, both had quirks and non-traditional floor plans. Highly Recommend!
Jannay and the Murphy Team are simply the best! They made quick work of listing and selling our home. Our sale presented some challenges that were handled with ease and professionalism. We used them again for a recent purchase that was equally as fantastic! Would never use anyone else again. Thanks Jannay !
Jannay is an exceptional real estate professional. She is so welcoming and really goes out of her way to make you a priority. Buying a home is one of the most expensive purchases I will ever make in my lifetime. It is nothing I take lightly. That's why we chose Jannay to help us purchase our forever home. This home is where our kids will grow up and where my husband and I will grow old. She helped get us the home we wanted, in the neighborhood we loved and kept our needs at her highest priority throughout the entire process. By the end of it, we felt like family. She actually had us over to her own home in the area on the day that we got our keys! We'll always recommend her to friends and family!
Jannay Murray Hughes is the best. She was with us even before we signed the contract. The house sold in a week after we followed all her suggestions. Her expertise, friendliness, follow through and just plain hard work make her one of best! Cant say enough good things things about her. Highly recommend her.
Jannay does a great job! My home was sold quickly, communication was good, and received a fair price. She helped me obtain contractors to do much of the work that was required to get the home ready for sale which was a great help as I was really busy during the sale.
I appreciated that Jannay took the time and effort to sit down and go in depth not only with a plan but about everything that would be involved in selling my home. Most of the other agents I interviewed came over and did a sales pitch of themselves and talked very little about my home or the process.
Jannay handled every aspect of the sale of our home in a professional manner. She delivered on all commitments and kept us informed throughout the process. She had many connections that helped us prep our home for sale as well as make repairs needed based on inspections. As it came time to close, Jannay went out of her way to help us tie up lose ends. Our home sale was due to a job relocation. I was out of town and Jannay was a life saver for both me and my wife, even helping us get cable boxes dropped off as we prepared to move. Simply stated, she anticipated our needs and exceeded all of our expectations!
Jannay was very helpful throughout the entire process. Since we had to move before selling, we relied heavily on Jannay's services to handle all transactions remotely. She was extremely helpful in providing recommendations and managing repairs. We would definitely recommend Jannay to our friends and family. Thanks, Jannay, you were awesome!
Joe & I wholeheartedly endorse Jannay & her team!!! She & her team found us just the home for us. We were under a time crunch. The first home we found turned out to have some problems & Jannay & team completely backed us when we decided to back out of the deal (completely within our alotted time to do so). They didn't skip a beat & proceeded to show us homes that met our requests. We were able to find, purchase & close on our home within the strict timeline we requested. We will always consider Jannay & her team our realtors.
Jannay is an amazing person to work with! She is knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. This was the first home that we actually purchased after having some bad relators in the past and stopping the home buying process altogether. Although the market was tough, Jannay and her team were supportive and determined to help us find the right thing. When we did, they made sure our offer was timely and competitive! Then throughout the escrow process, Jannay answered all of questions and concerns in a timely manner, and to do a thorough job to make sure everything was in place. It was a great experience and we LOVE our new home!
Jannay and her team are amazing. We sold our existing home and bought a new one at the same time. And everything was great starting with Jannay, she is professional, yet personable. She answered all my endless questions within an hour or two and made sure we understood every step of the process. I never had to wait for an answer. My house was on the market two days when the first offer came in. On the fourth day, two more came in, and on the fifth we had chosen our buyer and entered into contract for a little more than our target asking price. In addition to Jannay, we have to thank her team and partners: Don Webber for sharing his knowledge and experience, Pete Schroeder for managing the open house, Michelle Brenner for handling the crazy amount of documents, and Travis Turner for the wonderful photography. On the buying side, another of her agents, Stephen Costello, assisted us in finding a home tirelessly driving us around Elk Grove four times to see about a dozen homes total. He always showed poise and calm and gave to us the facts we needed when considering our next purchase. While both transactions weren't without little bumps in the road, Jannay and her amazing staff made sure none of those turned into huge potholes. I have recommended Jannay once already and would not hesitate to do so again. Whenever I'm ready to buy my next house, Jannay is my agent for life.
We were fortunate to find Jannay Murphy Hughes to handle the sale of our home. She was the fourth realtor we interviewed and we were sold after hearing her talk for 10 minutes. We loved her mix of enthusiasm with pragmatism, helping us understand what was great about our house but also helping us see how others may view things, so that our approach was realistic. We have sold several homes in our lives and the marketing for this sale was in a whole new league. The home sold very quickly and I know it was the beautiful way it was presented online and attention to detail in the listing that made the difference. During the escrow process we knew everything as soon as she knew it and she was excellent in following with the buyers agent when things were not progressing as planned. Anyone who wants to price right, sell quickly and know that their property is being fully represented in the best way possible should call Jannay Murphy Hughes.
Wow! Where to begin?! I first contacted Jannay in 2013. My husband and I were pondering the idea of purchasing. I contacted her twice before life got away from us & we continued renting. Fast forward to December 2015. We decided we needed to at least see if we even qualified to purchase a home of our own. I went through my stack of Christmas cards to find Jannay's contact info & hesitantly (because I completely flaked on her before) made the call. She instantly remembered exactly who I was. I explained our somewhat complicated situation and she put me in contact with Melissa Carson of Stanford Mortgage. To our surprise we were pre approved, & so the house hunting began. We looked at numerous homes with her & her team ( which was not easy being that my husband travels 75% of the time). Long story short, after numerous hurdles we found the house we wanted to make our home. I am 100% type A personality and had to be one of her most needy clients. She was beyond amazing!!! She was so patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. Always went the extra mile to give us peace of mind. We closed this evening on our first home!!! We would not have been able to say this without Jannay! If you are in the market to purchase or sell, I am telling you nothing but truth when I say "Jannay is the agent you want representing you in ANY real estate transactions!!!!!"
Jannay Hughes sold my duplex in 4 weeks. I wanted to sell the property for as much as I could and I also wanted it sold within 6 weeks. These two 'wants' work against each other but Jannay managed them well! Jannay did all the coordination with my tenants and we handled just about everything by email and 'docusign'. She had 4 offers the first day it came up for sale and we sold it that day to the highest and most qualified 'all cash' bid. I will use Jannay in my next real estate purchase and I will also recommend her to all my friends and family.
We could not have had a better experience than we had with Jannay. We relocated with a very reputable company that had a short list of agents they were willing to work with; Jannay was one of these, and we now see why.We are extremely detail-oriented with high expectations, and Jannay exceeded them. We chose Jannay because of her easy-going personality, her attention to detail, and her keen negotiation skills. Jannay outlined a number of negotiation strategies for us on our first visit, and we found them very impressive and insightful. Additionally, she is a genuinely kind person, and we knew that we would enjoy working with her and that potential buyers would have a very positive experience and impression. All became reality.Jannay went above and beyond for us in many instances. She is an extremely dedicated worker and has impeccable follow-through. Importantly, Jannay is conscientious and creative--two wonderfully complimentary characteristics.We highly recommend Jannay if you are selling your home and we strongly suspect she would be a wonderful agent for a buyer as well. We recommend Jannay with no hesitation.
Great Team!! They were very knoweldgable about the area and the entire process. The team was very flexible and willing to work around our schedules. Stephen and Jannay are very helpful and answered any questions we had. They found us our dream house! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a new home.
I would highly recommend Jannay for ANY of your real estate needs. She is amazing and gets things done quickly and efficiently :-). Thank you for all your help Jannay!!!!
Stephen and Jannay are excellent. We were first time buyers and we were clueless. They educated us on the whole process, answered a million of our emails, calls and texts with questions, were always available and were super flexible with our schedule. We found a house that we love and they were there every step of the way. They are not only great processionals but great people, we developed a good relationship with them and consider them friends. We would recommend them to any of our friends/family and will use them again in the future.
I can honestly say, the Murphy team is an All star team! Home buying process can be so scary. But Stephen and Jannay made the process so easy and smooth as possible. Theyre very knowledgeable, patient, understanding and deals with no BS! They definitely know what theyre doing and they are BEYOND good at it! Very quick to respond and answered all my questions and were always there whenever I had problems. I am DEFINITELY recommending ANYONE and EVERYONE that is interested in buying a home. THANK YOU!
When Jannay's team got into action, we sold our home on the first offer, in record time, at our price. The presentation of our home on the market was professional and resulted in a very successful experience. You will enjoy working with Jannay.
Jannay Murphy represented my wife and I in the purchase of a beautiful tri-level home in an outstanding neighborhood. The Murghy team was responsive and sensitive to our needs, and their customer service was the best we have ever experienced with a realtor. What is most impressionable about the Murphy Team is that they are givers to the community. Time and time again, they have given of their time and resources to my neighborhood, and for their generosity we are most greatful. If you are looking for a realtor who will value your needs, and make you feel appreciated - call Jannay. You'll be glad you did!
We bought our home in 2009 with Jannay, and I don't know what we would have done without her. Before her we had two other realtors and they weren't much help. Jannay was very helpful and knowledgeable with the buying process. We also had issues with our first mortgage rep and she was able to refer us to one that was great. Overall, we loved the service jannay provided and I am confident to say that we will use her in the future, for buying and selling. ***2nd Review***We bought our home in 2009, with Jannay, and since we have sold that home, bought another, and referred two friends to The Murphy Team who also purchased. We are extremely please with the service Jannay provides, and she always goes above and beyond. Since buying home #2 we have had some issues, and Jannay has been on top of it! You would think that once you buy/sell your home you're done with the realtor, but that was not the case with Jannay. She helped us solve our problems and stayed on top of the service providers to make sure everything got taken care of! Any time someone tells me they're buying/selling a home I refer Jannay!
We used Jannay as our agent to find a home in 2009 and since she did such a great job, she is helping us again with another property. Jannay is responsive, knowledgeable and makes every effort to make the process as smooth as possible. We highly recommend Jannay and the Murphy Team.
I work as a technology trainer for a real estate company with over 600 agents. When I was looking for a new home in 2008, Jannay Murphy Hughes with the Murphy Team, was the first and only agent I considered to hire. Her extensive knowledge of all things real estate put any and all fears aside for my first home purchase. She always made herself available to me (I must of previewed that house half a dozen times before I made my decision) and she made it seem like I was her only client (when I absolutely knew that wasn't the case). The transaction was not an easy one for any of us involved but she was sure to give me consistent updates and keep me up to speed with all the details. After the purchase, she stayed in touch with me and she continues to stay in touch with me 4 years later. She also assisted with the unfortunate short sale of the home when the economy took a turn for the worse. She made it seem like there was a light at the end of a very long, very dark tunnel. Jannay was with me every single step of the way and really cared about my situation (as you can imagine, it was a difficult one to swallow). She has been and will continue to be my only real estate agent and the only real estate agent I would ever recommend to anyone...even with the selection of over 600 real estate professionals I have available to me.Thank you Jannay. You and your team are what other real estate professionals should aspire to be like.
I've used Jannay (Murphy Team) before to purchase homes in the Sacramento area. I highly recommend her indivdual quality of work she demonstrates in the Real Estate business. She is a "go-getter", "quick thinker" and "always looks out for her clients' best interest!!"
The Murphy Team is nothing short of a first rate, class act. Jannay got our family into our first home last year (2011). Though it was a "dreaded" short sale, Jannay expertly navigated us through the process and before we knew it, we were closing. I couldn't think of a sigle instance that Jannay didn't already know the answer to any of our questions. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I was looking for a property for my daughter in Antelope/North Highlands area. I live three hours away in Santa Cruz and I only had one week to find a property. Jannay showed me many properties within my budget and desired requirements. When she was not available her father stepped in without a hitch and helped. They gave us many options and suggestions which helped find the perfect home. We knew it the minute we walked through the door. During the escrow process, the listing agent was slow to do her job and file the proper paperwork possibly jeopardizing the escrow deadline. Jannay was amazing in calling her numerous times and doing much of this agents work in order to have everything in order for escrow to close on time. Jannay should have received some of the listing agents commission as well as her own. She earned it. I would not hesitate to use Jannay again should I sell this home or purchase another home in her area. Amazing people produce amazing experiences!
Jannay, and her team, stayed true to their company motto and helped us make a smooth transition from one home to the next. All of our friends and family were amazed how quickly Jannay was able to find a buyer for our home, the whole process from listing to close of escrow took less than 6 weeks! We scrambled to get the house ready and really appreciated Jannay's advice, recommendations, and her experience in marketing the home and attracting serious buyers. We have other friends that are real estate agents, but chose Jannay because she is very knowledgeable and passionate about real estate and genuinely cares about helping people find the right home. Jannay is very personable and easy to talk to, attentive, a great listener, and always professional. We recommend Jannay to friends, family, and anyone seeking a qualified, dependable agent/broker to handle the sale, and/or purchase, of their home.
After a lengthy bout of unemployment, I made the decision to look into the short-sale process. Jannay Murphy Hughes was recommended to me as someone who could help me determine the best next step for me. She came to my home and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She laid out my options, offered her professional opinion and answered all my many questions (believe me, there were a lot of questions and, throughout the process, she never lost patience with me!). She helped me at every step and was amazing the entire time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jannay and her team to anyone, and I sincerely hope I get to work with her again - this... time for a purchase!!
After 9 months of searching, putting in offers and getting turned down, our quest finally came to an end and we bought our dream home! Without Jannay's commitment to our dream, we would have given up. Jannay is passionate about her work and goes over and beyond to support her clients before and after the home buying process. I would never even consider finding another agent and we are so grateful for the opportunity to express our gratitude on a public forum!
Very polished team that knows all the in's and out's of buying or selling a home. Keep you up to date on all aspects of paperwork; both for buyer and seller. Answer all questions with quick and timely response. Recommend Highly !
We LOVED working with Jannay! As first-time buyers we needed some extra help and she and her team were awesome! She walked us through the process, step by step. She helped us determine what type of home would best suit our needs and where we would like to look. Her knowledge of the Sacramento area is awesome! When we found the perfect place she was great at helping us write our offer and was helpful in dealing with the bank that owned the home. The whole Murphy team is amazing!
The Murphy team was very helpful when we were in the process of buying our first home. I was more than happy in the process. The team, specially Jannay, was very knowledgable and made our dream possible. Thank you so much!
