Sold a home in 2014.
I hired Janet "over the phone" after I had an issue with a previous broker. She answered all my questions and showed a level of expertise that I wanted from my agent. I gave her the listing and eventually met with her a few weeks later. I was impressed with her marketing plan and knew I made the right decision. My home was on the market for over 2 years before Janet got the listing. She worked very hard to market my home in the rural area of North/Eastern San Diego County. We got creative with a cash buyer and closed escrow in 12 days. I have moved from California and will probably not be back, but if I do return to the San Diego area she will be one of the first people I call.

As a home stager I have worked with Janet on several of her listings in the past few months and have been impressed by the speed with which her properties have sold. For one of the homes she got 5 offers during the first open house, with several above asking price, just a few days after it was listed! She goes to great lengths to make the homes she sells look their very best; just the simple fact that she hires a home stager proves how much she cares about getting listings sold fast and for the best possible price!! Janet is very easy to work with and I would definitely hire her in a heartbeat if I were to sell my home or look for a new home to buy!

Our family just worked with Janet to find our home here in San Deigo and really can’t say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, generous with her time over the course of several months and endlessly patient. She answered every question and explained every form and part of the process clearly and thoroughly.
It’s been a very personal experience working with her and our kids consider her being an internal part of this process in finding the home we all now love and look forward to move into very soon.
Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Janet made it as painless and straightforward as possible. And definitely to add her not being pushy towards us if she considers it is not the right home and even listening to our thoughts and dilemmas to help us come to a conclusion.
We highly recommend her.

When the time came to sell our house in Ramona ,Ca, we knew that we needed te reliable realtor. The friend of ours recommended
Janet McCarthy. She was very helpful in their process of buying the house and they liked to have her as their real estate agent.
On the very first day we've met Janet she got our full trust. Very quickly she got our house prepared for showing-her staging process was amazing!
Through the whole process of selling the house Janet proved to be very professional and classy agent.
She's guided us very skillfully through the maze of complicated paperwork and she's quickly arranged for all the needed inspections.
She's gone above and beyond what other agents would have done!
We are very grateful ,because she's made sure the stressful process of selling the house was not all that bad!
We would definitely recommend Janet to anyone who is in need to sell or buy the house! She is the best!!

Janet was amazing ... Working with her as our Realtor was not only a pleasure, but also an education in today’s most difficult Real Estate field. Her availability and patience made us feel confident to say the least, and we want to thank her for her professionalism in representing us. Her ability to “go “above and beyond” helped us to get the home of our dreams. Location, we had told her was our #1 priority and she was able to achieve that for us when she found our house-because it was on her web site that she wasn’t aware of and informed her of the great neighborhoods and amazing view location. In addition, we found it very pleasant to work with Janet because of her attitude was always upbeat and refreshing. During the competitive negotiations, her perseverance led to our successful bid. She continued to represent our interests by immediately putting our offer in solid back up position. The advantage of working with well informed and knowledgeable people such as Janet is always beneficial. We also saw how dependably and diligently she worked. Her constant effort and hard work led us to our new home. We are so appreciated to her. The house that I’ve found just in the neighborhood of the houses she was showing us is now we have as our dream house and we thank you Janet for helping us to get the house that will be now be called our forever home ...

Bought a Single-Family home in 2013 for approximately $575K in San Carlos, San Diego,
Janet helped us get our dream house. She worked relentlessly to negotiate and close our property in record time and took care of all the loose ends before we even had to ask. Can honestly say if we hadn't used Janet we would not have gotten our current home. One thing my wife and I liked about her was that she looked out for our best interest as opposed to telling us what we wanted to hear just to make a sale. If there was something wrong with a house she would point it out and she won't let you offer too much on a house. She knows her stuff when it comes to real estate. We highly recommend Janet if you're looking to buy a home in San Diego! She's one of the best around!

Best real estate agent we have known. She is very thorough and is treating us with utmost care. She has been doing diligent study of the area that we are interested in and has been guiding us to the right house without being pushy (which is a big plus for the a real estate agent).She answers the phone promptly and calls back at the time promised. She has shown us more houses in a week that we have been with her than the agent we had for the past 4 months. We would highly recommend her.

Being first time home buyers, we were a little intimidated at first. Luckily we found Janet McCarthy which made the process much easier than we had been anticipating. Any questions we had were answered quickly and efficiently. We both are very happy with our first home and couldn't have been more pleased with the service. We thank you for the time and effort you spent with us, making our first experience as easy as it was! I definitely recommend Janet to anyone and would not hestiate to use again for ourselves. We couldn't have asked for a better agent. Thank you for our forever home.
