FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Make sure you hire a experienced agent not just a friend or relative. A agent that excels in negotiating and preparing a complete offer that protects your best interest. Make sure they work for a well known real Estate company as well, it sends a message you are serious by hiring the best in the business. Otherwise it sends a message you have hired a inexperienced agent that only sells part time. Why is this important? Listing agents want a smooth transaction through escrow. So if there is multiple offers they may not choose yours for that reason if the offers are similar.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Marketing...Marketing....Marketing!!! You only have a few seconds to capture a buyers attention. Also experience, when transactions run smoothly we all make it look to easy. But....when they are difficult it is crucial your agent has experience in the trenches
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
We are multidimensional agents, we do not specialize in any one type of client. We can't imagine any type of scenario that we have not tackled
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
We just closed a home where the seller had done a lease to own on their own with out the help of a agent a few years ago. Now the Lessee was getting a divorce and could not complete the contract. We jumped in and assisted with clearing title and selling the home so they would not be facing more than a two month double mortgage now that the home was vacant. They are thrilled it is all over and closed in just 26 days.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
Brian was a licensed contractor and Jen ran the back office and lead calls. They made the decision to bring their experience into Real Estate. Since 1999 we have never looked back. Blake joined the team in 2017
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Brian was a self employed contractor for 16 years & holds his Contractors license. He also managed a large Orange County based construction Company for 4 years. Brian is bilingual. Jen has 32 years in Management, sales and negotiations training. Blake has his Landscape Architect degree with a minor in Sustainable Environments from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

Jen was an amazing realtor. Because of her extensive knowledge and experience she made our house hunt and purchase easy and stress-free. This was our first ever home purchase. Even though that should be daunting, Jens patience, kindness and responsiveness made buying a house something we cant wait to do again. Jen truly knows how to sell houses. She was a major support system and fought for us every step of the way. She takes the time to get to know her clients, leading to her only needing to show us ONE house! She did her homework and knew before we walked in that it was the one for us. We are forever grateful for our experience and cant wait to work with her again.

This is the 3rd time we have had expert Jenn Faris sell our houses and my Moms as well! ALL 3 times, we sold at the highest a home sold in the area, which says quite a lot. ALL 3x it was complex and needed a true expert to navigate successfully. She remained professional, honest and communicated real-time updates. Most of all she is so kind, and became a part of our family. The last move, we moved from California to Hawaii which was even more complex, timing was imperative and our buyer was highly needy. Her experience was unwavering. When she sold my moms house, it was quite difficult as my mom has Alzheimer?s, and had many sensitive moments. I have deep gratitude for Jenn. Do not hesitate to call her for your real estate needs. So thankful!

Jen is top of the line in Realty. She is genuinely a catch, if your looking for expertise, you found it in her. On top of this she is so kind, caring, patient, knowledgeable. She is a woman of many different hats and if it is not in her scope, one of her on hand contacts will. She was able to help me with a fire safe door that I did not know was needed for a safe sell and that was FHA approved. All the bells and whistles come along with her. She was very efficient. She was able to find a great realtor here in Texas that I was completely satisfied with. This move was a big one for my family, but along the way I had a friend to ease my worries. Thank you so much Jen, your a blessing!
Jen is simply the best. She guided us through a lengthy process of selling our parents home which involved evicting a tenant, clean up, repairs and then having an offer from a buyer with a non-standard loan. She held our hand through all of it and stayed positive and went above and beyond at each and every step. We would use her again in a heartbeat!

Jen is the utmost professional in every aspect. Her years of experience was very comforting when we sold our home as you want someone representing you that really knows what she?s doing. I have used her before and each time it was obvious she was more experienced than the buyers agents and in both houses the result was to our benefit. Would recommend Jen Faris representing either buying or selling properties
