“Jennifer helped my wife and I to purchase a home for our parents toward the end of summer. We were mainly looking for an agent who can negotiate the competitive Seattle-area market. And that’s what we got! We found that Jennifer was very good at crafting the offer. After our offer was accepted, Jennifer negotiated the price down $30k during the inspection phase. Finally, while writing a good offer and negotiating on our behalf was the most important to us, I do want to note that Jennifer was highly attuned to what we were looking for and ended up being very helpful in locating potential properties. Overall, we found that Jennifer knew what she was doing and worked hard on our behalf. We would definitely work with her again on a future deal.”

“My wife and I bought our home in Issaquah with Jennifer entirely remotely at the height of Covid in late 2020. Being new to Washington, we relied on Jennifer’s well-informed, expert knowledge of the various areas all across Greater Seattle. She patiently drove all across the area, Zooming us into numerous remote viewings until we found the perfect place that we called home for the next few years.
Earlier this year, we decided to sell our home to be closer to family across the country. Jennifer gave us nothing short of the attentive white glove treatment that we remembered from 2020. After we had packed up our belongings and moved across the country, she staged our home and cared for it as if it were her own. Jennifer produced high quality marketing materials to advertise our home to potential buyers across multiple engagement channels, ensuring that we were getting as many prospective buyers through the door as possible. She provided us with detailed updates following each open house and walkthrough, keeping us in the loop every step of the way. Jennifer never pressured us into accepting an offer that wouldn’t be good for us; patiently representing her clients’ best interests is what she does without fail.
We would highly recommend working with Jennifer, especially in the highly competitive Seattle-area market!
Thank you for all that you did, Jennifer!”

“My husband and I were totally green to the home selling process. We’d lived in the same home for over 40 years. Jennifer Ruud-Johnson coached us and was extremely patient with us at every stage of the process. She explained the procedures and policies of house selling to us in a way that made it easier to understand. When we didn’t understand or forgot something, Jennifer gently explained again. It was always her goal for us to understand and approve all the pieces of the sale. Jennifer has an eye for beauty and is well informed of what buyers are looking for in a house. The staging she put together was beautiful. Many of our friends said our house never looked so nice. Jennifer is comfortable selling homes for $400,000 to several million. She treats all clients with respect and dignity. Jennifer communicated regularly with us and got back to us quickly when we had problems or questions. One example was a sewer line problem which showed up after an inspection. Jennifer helped us find people to do the job, checked up on the job after we moved but before we sold, and celebrated the finishing of the job with us when it was done. We highly recommend Jennifer for any of your realtor needs. Before your sale is over, you will think of her as a friend who happens to be an amazing realtor. ”

“Jennifer worked with me to purchase my new house in Kirkland and sell my house in Mill Creek. She was very knowledgeable about both process and kept the process going smoothly. She helped negotiate a great deal in a very competitive market in my new purchase.
When I was ready to sell my primary residence, she helped me stage my house and managed to show and sold my house all within a week timeframe. She presented me with a very detailed table which captured all offers that we received. It was an excellent tool that help me easily walk through the decision making on picking the best deal for the sale of the house. Jennifer went up and beyond for the two translations we worked together. She is always available to answer my questions. She has great working ethic in this very challenging market condition. I could not be more satisfied with her service. ”

“I worked with Jennifer on two separate occasions. The first time was to sell a rental property in Renton and the second was to sell my primary home in Bellevue. Jennifer’s support and results exceeded my expectations in both sales. When negotiating offers over listing Jennifer helped to communicate clearly and evaluate each offer fairly with a balanced approach. The current market presented significant challenges and we leaned heavily on Jennifer’s expertise. I recommend Jennifer to my friends and family and would recommend her for your next home sale.

”

“She is highly educated on trends, markets and the use of networking and social media. She is the utmost professional and is very keen on her clients needs. She has an arsenal of resources that can assist you in prepping your home for sale. We had an agressive listing date and seemed impossible to meet. Jennifer drove our timeline and kept us on track and we were able to pull off what seemed the impossible! I would highly recommend her!! Jennifer is also very honest and kind, and offered us a large amount of support throughout the process. For anyone that needs to sell their home, Jennifer has my stamp of approval and will get the job done!!!”

“Jennifer does a great job with her social media outlets to get your house seen by as many people possible. Jennifer also works with a highly reputable photographer and stagers so that your home is being shown at its best. We highly recommend Jennifer as an agent”

“My condominium association was undergoing a complex wide plumbing repair, and assessment. Those two terms can quickly frighten away buyers who might otherwise jump at a great unit, in a great community, in a challenging market. I was very happy with Jennifer’s can-do attitude, clear directions and explanation of her process. Jennifer referred me to a staging provider, priced my unit appropriately for the market, and did incredible marketing. The results of these actions were multiple competative offers, ultimately resulting in a quick and seamless sale and transition. Jennifer stayed in close contact, worked long hours, and negotiated firmly and fairly. I was thrilled with the service I received and the help through what I expected to be a very challenging process.”

“I found Jennifer through the PRESS agency. And as long as she’s in business, I’ll be going to her and referring everyone to her. Not only does Jennifer know her business, but she’s an all around incredible human being, who cares about her clients, the sale of their beloved home, the hunt for their dream home, their investment strategies, their learning, and whatever process they need to follow to buy or sell. With Jennifer, I sold one home/rental property and bought not one but two investment properties with the equity Jennifer helped me build — all which had to be timed just right with a stressed out 1031 exchange trust manager and mortgage broker. As well, to get the best purchase price and property possible, Jennifer worked tirelessly over Christmas to write numerous offers for me, communicate with seller’s agents, and answer mortgage broker questions. She has also referred me to numerous contractors, who will continue to be some of my favorite go-to contractors. The entire process has taken six months so far, and still continues. Through it all, Jennifer has absolutely pushed through and served as the foundation for the project. To top it off, her positive, glass-is-full, can-do attitude kept me buoyed through the whole draining effort. I sincerely thank Jennifer for all her work, her expertise, her vast references, and professional contacts. I’d bet on Jennifer Ruud-Johnson any day.”

“Jennifer was invaluable for me in buying a beautiful house in an incredibly rapid timeframe! We met at an open house and connected right away over chit-chat and fondness of black tuxedo cats. She worked with my aggressive pace in touring homes and my constant messaging her about so many listings.

When I had a gut feeling about one house, she encouraged me to go for it despite the tight review date and competitive offers. She then checked the property herself and helped me put together a super attractive offer, as well as recommended me a loan officer who was crucial in me closing insanely fast.

Throughout the process and even after closing, Jennifer is there for me, caring about my opinions and concerns foremost. She’s friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible — would definitely work with her again in the future!”

“I am so happy we did! She made a very stressful situation much easier. I would highly recommend working with Jennifer to all of my friends and family.”

“As a first time homebuyer she gave a thorough explanation on any of my questions. She always has her client’s best interests at heart, not being afraid to express an opinion or point out something that could be an issue in the distant future during walkthroughs. And in crunch time she is readily available. I’m thankful to have worked with her.”

“We worked with Jennifer for many years from selling Dad’s home to selling our home in Snoqualmie Ridge to our home in Sammamish...she’s a pleasure to work with...thank you so much Jennifer.”
