What do Clients Say?

Jonay is an outstanding real estate agent-she is the perfect combination of professional, ethical, responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to interact with. She is patient in answering any questions or concerns that you have and validates those concerns. She gives honest answers to your questions. She wants the best for you and is not pushy in any way. We would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who asks and will not hesitate to contact her again for any real estate needs that we have!

The Mitchells

Jonay has been our realtor in the sale of 2 houses and we will definitely use her again. She is professional, knowledgeable, experienced and supportive. She was available to answer all of our questions in a timely, caring manner, and we completely trusted her every step of the way. Both of our homes sold quickly because of her guidance and expertise. We would definitely recommend her and her team.

The LaPortas

Jonay made the experience of selling our home as simple and effortless as possible. With her expertise and knowledge of our local market, she was able to figure out the perfect price point for us to get maximum exposure, the most interest, and multiple offers! She was very responsive, and always acts conducted herself in a very professional manner. She always had our best interest in mind. Not to mention, her staging skills are impeccable! Our home sold within days, and we were extremely happy with the selling price. We highly recommend Jonay for anyone in the market to buy or sell a home.

The Gallos

We had the pleasure of working with Jonay to sell our home as well as purchase another! Her experience and knowledge of the current market made both processes easy. We were overwhelmed and Jonay handled everything! She was (and still is) patient in answering all of our questions and believe me, there were/are many. We listened and followed her advice on how to prepare our home to go on the market. It sold quickly. She has a great vision and great intuition. The entire Team at Compass is outstanding. I highly recommend Jonay for all your Real Estate needs.
