"His intense knowledge of the local market helped us set a realistic price"

John presented a professional marketing plan that gave us a great deal of confidence that we had chosen the right real estate agent.  He then followed that plan providing us with excellent advice regarding the preparation of our home for sale as well as a list of reputable contractors we could use along the way. He patiently followed our progress and when it came time to list, his intense knowledge of the local market helped us set a realistic price that led to a very satisfactory result. His regular communication with us during the process never left us in doubt. We are very grateful for his help and are very happy to recommend John without reservation.

"From our first meeting, we were comfortable with John's approach"

Now that we've moved across the country and have settled into our new home, there is time to reflect on the outstanding service provided to us by John.  From our first meeting, we were comfortable with John's approach to marketing our house.  He and his team were very aware of and responsive to our needs.  As we had already chosen a moving date, we were a bit anxious in a market that seemed to expand hourly.  John assuaged our concerns but realistically.  He provided us with up to date information on houses coming onto the market, houses that sold, and comparables.  In the end, we believe that it was John's hard work on our behalf and his extensive knowledge of West Vancouver and its amenities that appealed to buyers who wanted to live in this beautiful community.

We would (and have) highly recommended John and his team to other parties looking to buy or to sell in West and North Vancouver.

"John has a great deal of experience & insight into the market in West Vancouver"

"We sold our home of eleven years recently and John Jennings was our realtor.  Selling a home is a stressful process, but John was able to defuse a great deal of worry by his calm, sensible approach.  He communicates clearly and always returns calls promptly.  He has a great deal of experience and insight into the market in West Vancouver.  In addition, John has an excellent team working with him, and they always worked hard to make showing the house as painless as possible.  We would be pleased to recommend John to anyone selling their house."

"We never had to concern ourselves with anything"

"We have purchased and sold numerous homes and this sale was the easiest we have ever experienced.  You were so buttoned up that we never had to concern ourselves with anything.  You always kept us informed and advised us with certain decisions.  Right from the beginning you gave us a comprehensive market analysis in an objective way.  I think you realize how difficult it is to put a price on one’s home.  Your positive attitude and confidence allowed us to relax throughout the process.  The icing on the cake was receiving 3 offers the first day with 2 of them over asking price.

We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing a realtor; in fact, we have already told our friends and neighbors what a terrific job you and your staff did for us and suggested they consider you when they need to buy or sell their home."

H. & D. Wypich 

"His website is the best I have seen"

"I chose John as a realtor because my adult children thought a high volume realtor would be best.  I liked his presentation because he told me the price for which I should list the house and then told me his marketing approach.  I was pleased that he not only advertised in the Homes & Land Magazine, but also had a professional floorplan made, put together a virtual tour, and took the “High Shot” photograph.  I don't think other realtors would have done all of this.  Also his website is the best I have seen."

D. Frewin

"Excellent service and herculean result"

"We would like to thank John for his excellent service and herculean result of selling our home in 5 days. We highly recommend John Jennings as a realtor. What makes John unique as a realtor is his website, marketing techniques, and networking reach to potential buyers. What most impressed us was his negotiating skills - that realized us an impressive profit. As the old saying goes "Gretzky gets the ice time" as should John as a realtor. Thanks again John"

Deb & Dan

"Excellent communication and responsiveness"

"Please accept my sincerest gratitude for your services. We closed as planned and did not have any problems. I appreciated all your advice during our decision to sell. As a non-resident, your market updates and analyses during our time on market were most helpful and accurate. We also very much appreciated the excellent communication and responsiveness from your office.
Your professionalism and courtesy are exemplary and I look forward to working with you again."

S. Lee

"We are very glad we chose John"

"I am very pleased to write this letter of recommendation for John Jennings.

Before we decided to sell our home we had several interviews with other realtors in the area and we are very glad we chose John. His assessment of the value of the house was right on target and his advice in regards to the preparation of our home was extremely valuable.

We encountered no obstacles in dealing with John and the house sold in less than a month for almost full listing price. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to any of my friends or relatives and we will certainly look for him to help us when we decide to purchase a home again.  Thanks John."

J.C. Camacho

"John was very friendly and relaxed yet professional"

"It was our first time to sell and buy a house in Canada and it could have been a very unfamiliar and frustrating experience, but John made it very comfortable. John was very friendly and relaxed yet professional, and we were happy to have him as our agent. He responded to our requests with the most excellent manners. Every showing of the house was followed by feedback and we are satisfied with the process and his service. We highly recommend John to anyone who is selling or buying a property."

Z. & A. Premji, West Vancouver

"We would happily recommend John Jennings"

"Recently, John Jennings acted for us in the sale of our West Vancouver home. He was very helpful and understanding when it came to assisting us at this very stressful time. We have not been in the marketplace for many years and were not up to date with current practices and trends. Not to worry, John set us on the right track with confidence and tact. Marketing techniques were varied and effective and produced an offer in a very short time with minimal inconvenience to us. During the negotiation phase, John was patient, consultative, and fair, resulting in a positive feeling about the deal. Additionally, John continued his service by advising us about oil tank removal and other issues relevant to the sale. We would happily recommend John Jennings to anyone considering selling property."

D. & D. Mackenzie, West Vancouver

"John is the leader of an effective team"

I am happy to recommend John Jennings as a real estate representative. From our initial meeting, my wife and I found him to be personable, professional, and, most importantly, thoroughly knowledgeable about the housing market on the North Shore. Other attributes that we greatly appreciated were the lack of any type of pressure in decision making and his communications with us which were always prompt and timely.

John is the leader of an effective team of assistants that work together seamlessly.  Overall, the entire process of listing and selling our home with John was as smooth and painless as one could desire, which I know from experience is not always the case. He is the best real estate agent we have dealt with to date.

We were pleased to have recommended him to our next door neighbours which yielded positive results for them as well. We recommend John Jennings without reservation."

R. Christie

"John has been part of our community"

"I would like to thank John Jennings for all he did for me during the months leading up to the sale of my house on April 8, 2007 and his generous follow-up with me since then.

I chose to work with John because on some level I knew the process of selling the home I have lived in for twenty-three years would not be easy. I had more emotions tied up in this place than I care to admit and I needed a very special real estate agent.

John has been part of our community for such a long time that I already felt I knew him well and anyone who knew him, or of him, spoke so positively about him. John walked with me through this experience with patience when I dithered, calm when I felt upset, humour when I was sad and unfailing charm.

The results of the sale were so positive that I am still shaking my head at my good fortune. John negotiated with the utmost professionalism and good spirit. I could not have done it, and stayed sane, without him. What was a difficult life transition for me – filled with many ups and downs – ultimately became a very positive experience. I am the lucky one to have chosen John. And I would work with him again in a heartbeat. In fact, I will miss him.

I would recommend John without hesitation to anyone considering buying or selling a house. He is, quite simply, the best."

S. Ronson

"He works in the best interests of his clients"

"Having worked with John Jennings on a number of occasions, I can say with confidence that he is both knowledgeable and professional. He works in the best interests of his clients and is a very straightforward, easy person to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend John to anyone. John Jennings is a true professional."

R. Scott

"John is the best real estate agent I have worked with"

"John is one in a million.  He is trustworthy, reliable, detail oriented, caring and smart.  Few real estate agents could match his experience, selling & negotiating skills and overall great business sense.  But most of all, John is passionate about what he does and the people he represents.  He understands that it is about a home and a life, not simply a house.  This is truly what sets him apart from all others.  In a nutshell, John is the best real estate agent I have worked with and hopefully he will be the only one I work with from here on in.  I would be more than happy to provide more information to anyone that has questions on John's skills and genuine personality."

J. Turner

"Exceptional support"

"We would like to convey our gratitude to you for the exceptional support in the sale of our home.  From the first meeting we had with you it was very clear that you were professional, knowledgeable and personable.  The approach you took to selling our home gave us a feeling of comfort and confidence.  The information presented to us on pricing, past sales, and advertising formats were extremely accurate.  We were very pleased with the organization of information, open houses and private viewings.  The reassurance you gave us when we had concerns or questions was appreciated.  You answered all of our questions honestly and were always prompt when returning our calls.  Your dedication and consideration for your clients' situations, along with your understanding of the intricacies of the profession, has made this a fantastic experience."

L. & C. Royle

"We would recommend him to friends and family without hesitation"

"We engaged John Jennings to sell an investment property of ours in West Vancouver.  Throughout the selling process, he showed good business sense and a shrewd appreciation of a volatile housing market in West Vancouver.  He managed our house sale with dispatch and we had the feeling that he was absolutely on top of any situation. 
We would recommend him to friends and family without hesitation."

D. & J. Helmer

"John was always very prepared"

"Please accept this as our letter of recommendation for John Jennings.  We chose to work with John because we felt that he was very hard working, honest, and caring.

Through the entire listing period, John and his team handled everything with true professionalism.  Not every property sells overnight, and you may be in a relationship with your realtor for an extended period of time.  So it is really important to work with someone who is positive and committed.  John was always very prepared and knowledgeable and whenever we had any questions or concerns, he was quick to respond and very helpful. 

We are happy with the results of our transaction and pleased to recommend John as a realtor."

R. & G. Cross

"John’s marketing program for our home was highly effective"

"It’s a pleasure for us to provide a reference for John Jennings. After much research, including interviewing several leading North Shore Realtors, we selected John as our buying and selling agent based on his market knowledge, proven experience, and strong marketing program. As we worked with John, it became clear that we had made the right choice.

John’s market knowledge and experience was evident in the evaluations he prepared for our home and for the home we purchased. He provided thoughtful and insightful market information. As well, his negotiation skills and guidance helped us significantly during both the buying and selling process, with excellent results.

John’s marketing program for our home was highly effective, from his well presented and organized website to his marketing communications to realtors and potential buyers. The result was a great level of interest in our house, enabling us to maximize our house’s market value.

John’s integrity was clear in all our interactions with him. He and his staff were a pleasure to work with, and provided outstanding support and guidance to us throughout the process.

It is without hesitation that we provide this reference for John."

M. & J. Sutcliffe

"We seldom write praises; but in this case John gets top marks"

"We interviewed three prominent North Shore realtors for the job of marketing and selling our home in West Vancouver.  John Jennings made the final selection quite easy because he was well prepared, sincere and enthusiastic right from the beginning.  His relaxed and professional approach made John easy to work with.  And work he did!  John generated a lot interest and activity prior to the actual sale and he was very instrumental in obtaining a great price for us.  One of the things that sets John apart from others is his ability to communicate effectively, and one reason he is a very good communicator is because he is an even better listener.  We seldom write praises; but in this case John gets top marks."

P. & H. Handford

"Consummate professional"

"John Jennings acted on our behalf in the sale of our home and we cannot say enough about his professionalism, communication and negotiating skills.  We had the liberty of an eight month lead time before listing our home and throughout that period John was consistent in keeping us up to date in relation to market conditions.  We never felt pressured at any time, and in fact from day one gave him a key to our home and a code in the alarm system in the event he wanted to show the house to a prospective purchaser.  We felt complete trust and faith in John, which was borne out at the time of our sale.  John not only sold our home quickly but negotiated a selling price which was beyond our expectations.  We found John to be not only proactive and astute, but also sensitive and caring which, added to his honesty and professionalism make John, in our opinion, the consummate professional.  It is without reservation that we highly recommend John as a realtor."

D. & M. Williams

"Working with you was literally a care-free experience"

"I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the great service you and your team provided on the sale of my West Vancouver condominium.  From the very beginning of the process, right through to completion, I was impressed by the professionalism, thoroughness and customer-service orientation of your team.  It was truly a pleasure doing business with you because I felt, without exception, that I was in very good hands.  Working with you was literally a care-free experience.  Thank you again for the great service and I look forward to working with you again in the future."

M. Cue

"Very attentive to keeping us in the loop"

"During the selling process, we found that John quickly and deftly determined the “personality” of our sale: he moved with confidence, speed and integrity – from compiling his sales proposal, to coaching us in the process, to determining our needs and expectations. We had absolutely no doubt we would sell “well” and with honesty and integrity. He demonstrated an innate sensitivity to our needs, worked with us every step of the way, was very attentive to keeping us in the loop and imbuing us with a sense of confidence, and had the quick wit to make the whole process enjoyable."

H. Scheibal & J. Goodlet

"We have recommended John Jennings to friends and family"

"John is a relaxed, informed realtor who is able to deal with all the unknowns that can occur in a large transaction, which may include delicate negotiations. John continually kept us informed of market conditions in general and provided us with prompt updates on specific showings. We have recommended John Jennings to friends and family for their real estate needs. He has sold three properties for other members of our family."

F. & J. Carter

"He impressed us with his presentation"

"Having been involved with more than a few realtors over the years, dealing with John in the recent sale of our home was one of, if not, the most gratifying experiences we've had in this regard. From the outset, he impressed us with his presentation, his organized approach to the sale, and above all, his sincerity. Our trust in John was not misplaced in that he sold our home for the target price we set, all within a one month period."

W. & L. McDonald

"You made our real estate transaction seamless"

"I wanted to thank you for your help in our recent home sale. Your knowledge and professionalism was only out-matched by your attentive service and enjoyable manner. You made our real estate transaction seamless while achieving the maximum market value. I would happily recommend you and your team to anyone considering listing a home for sale."

R. Cameron

"Without doubt, the most capable representative for our investment" 

"Selling our West Vancouver home after seventeen years of residency was an arduous job, and we knew finding the right realtor was key.  The process started with interviewing several capable well-known West Vancouver realtors. John Jennings was our choice because he clearly saw his duty, to the client, as one of providing the utmost of care, integrity, confidentiality and loyalty.  These duties never wavered throughout the sale of our home.  In our opinion we chose, without doubt, the most capable representative for our investment.  We would highly recommend his services to anyone considering selling their home.  Thank you, John, for a job exceptionally well done."

D. and L. Van Cleave

"To deal with you was a pure delight"

"Just a note to express to you our appreciation of your work, in our behalf, on the sale of our house.  Don't let it go to your head, John, but honestly: to deal with you was a pure delight. After our phone call to you on a Saturday, you came to the house on Monday with all pertinent information and background material - heaven knows how you could get all that together in half a working day! - and allowed us to arrive at a definite sales offer within the hour.  Your estimate of the sales value of the house was obviously well-founded, and you proved it to us and yourself by selling the property within seven days.  Needless to say that we wish you continued very best of success, and we can only congratulate any potential buyer or seller of real estate who lets you handle his/her affairs."

G. and M. Tietjen

"Excellent service"

"I wanted to thank you for your excellent service in selling our Ambleside home. With so many listings in our neighbourhood, we suspected you would be most knowledgeable about the market. That was very true. You told us what to expect in terms of timing and price and you were right on. Your polite charming and courteous service was very much appreciated and your team capably helped me through the transition of purchasing a new property. I'd be pleased to work with you again in the future and would recommend your service to others selling or purchasing a property."

R. Hill

"John gave us valuable advice"

"John Jennings did a great job for us. We engaged John to assist us in the purchase of our current home and to market and sell our former home. He gave us a realistic valuation of our property in a very challenging market. John was able to sell our house within 10 days of listing and brought multiple offers to the table. John was always prompt and gave us good guidance on the buy side, which was more important to us. He answered numerous inquiries from us on different properties that we had questions about. When we were faced with our purchase decision, John gave us valuable advice in formulating our offer. If you are looking for a realtor, we would strongly recommend John Jennings."

D. & J. MacFarlane

"Gave us many cost effective tips" 

"The sale of our house happened so smoothly, thanks to John Jennings. He started working with us months before we put our house on the market and gave us many cost effective tips which increased the sale price of our home. We definitely felt comfortable, and trusted in his ability to do a superb job. He was always in contact with us, it was never more then a few minutes before he would return our call. We would recommend John to anyone."

S. & P. D'Eath

"His advice was objective, sound and was always practical"

If I were to have any further issues concerning real estate, John Jennings would be my first choice."

W.S. Berardino

"John surpassed our expectations"

We chose John for his youth and energetic personality coupled with two characteristics which were of paramount importance to us: honesty and integrity.  John surpassed our expectations with regards to these important attributes.

"It is without reservation that I recommend John" 

"From the outset it became apparent that John is a well educated and respected man who has a very broad knowledge of the real estate industry and specifically the market on the North Shore. His passion for his job and his sensitivity and compassion in working with people was evident in his open and honest communication throughout the 6 weeks that I worked with him. John stayed consistently and openly in communication with me throughout this time, responding promptly to any calls I made. Feedback was ongoing; consequently I felt confident with all my decisions. It is without reservation that I recommend John as a realtor. John is a proactive, thorough and creative professional with excellent communication and negotiating skills."

W. Vreeken

"Professional throughout the negotiations involving both transactions"

"This past summer, my husband and I engaged John to sell our house in North Vancouver and bought one of his listings in West Vancouver. John was very thorough and professional throughout the negotiations involving both transactions. In addition I would like to convey how well John handled the dual agency aspect of the purchase of our home when he was representing both my husband and I as buyers and his own vendors. I would highly recommend John and have, in fact, recommended him to friends and family."

N. Parente

"Willingness to go the extra mile" 

"I would highly recommend John (and have done so on several occasions already) as both a buying and selling agent. John is very communicative, understands the concept of good service, and just as importantly brings a great depth of market knowledge. On top of all this he is a tough negotiator. Further yet is John's willingness to go the extra mile long after the deals are complete to ensure complete satisfaction."

C. Dixon

"It is with pleasure that we recommend John Jennings"

"It is with pleasure that we recommend John Jennings as a real estate agent who displayed a high level of professionalism as the selling agent for our house in West Vancouver. John explained all procedures in detail, was always available for questions, kept us updated on a weekly basis on showings and comments, and handled all negotiations to meet our requirements. We have no hesitation in recommending John as a result of his excellent service."

C. & L. Newton

"No hesitation whatsoever to recommend you"

"As a result of the excellent manner in which you handled the sale of my property, and your knowledge-based experience, I have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend you to everybody wanting a truly professional real estate agent."

D. Donnelly

"John had our best interest – not his own – in mind"

Selling our first home was far less stressful than we could have ever imagined.  We had a new baby and a new business.  John understood our situation and put us at ease right away.  John didn’t come across as a “Salesman”.  It was just as if a friend was helping us to sell our house.

John had our best interest – not his own – in mind, when selling our house.  His attention to detail, together with his experience and extensive network, enabled us to sell our house (over the list price) on the first day we took offers.

John and his assistants helped us through all the subjects being removed and continued to assist us right up to the day of the closing.  Our experience with John and his assistants was so great that we recommended John to my sister, and now he has sold her house as well!

G. & C. Corp 

"Negotiated strongly when it was in my best interest"

"His marketing proposal contained a  realistic strategy for selling my house, a  value range for my property, an analysis of the market and the current housing inventory, and an analysis of the strong and weak points of my property.  He brought copies of his advertising, and I feel that his website presentation is very strong. 

John was proactive and responded very promptly regarding the status of prospective buyers, as well as in the  negotiation and finalization of documents.

John provided a weekly schedule of showings and what buyers’ comments and thoughts were after seeing my property

John  was pleasant to deal with but negotiated strongly when it was in my best interest."

D. White

"We are very happy"

We certainly enjoyed working with you over the past 6 months and all liked your calm style without a lot of hype.  We are very happy with the final selling price, the overall process, your service and most of all that another family is going to enjoy a house we just loved over the years.

R. & C. Kwon

"Very professional"

Selling the family home can be a very stressful time.  We felt very fortunate to have John Jennings work with us in this endeavour.   His strengths are his genuine and friendly personality, knowledge of the market and his communication skills.  He was always very professional from the time he accepted the listing and then right through to the closing.  We were always impressed that he would give us adequate warning before a showing and then follow up with a discussion of the results after each viewing.  The transition to our new home (which he helped us find) went smoothly thanks to his expertise.  If we are in the market for a new home in the future, our first phone call will definitely be to John Jennings
