"John was very patient"
It has been, once again, a great experience working with you to bring my mother's house onto the market and to sell it so quickly. I believe that this is the third time we have worked together to sell or purchase a property and each time the experience has been enjoyable. Your attention to detail and understanding of seniors who must sell their home has been very much appreciated. You were very patient and never rushed people into making major decisions but gave them time to think and reflect. Your regular updates on open houses and other details was reassuring both to my mother and myself. Thank you for making this sale a pleasant and relaxing experience. We will be highly recommending you to any of our North Shore friends and family who wish to sell or purchase a property.

He's an honest, experienced professional"
I chose John Jennings to sell my home because he’s an honest, experienced professional, who really understands the West Vancouver real estate market. At our initial consultation, John suggested a listing price, based on his extensive knowledge of the local market. We agreed on a price range, that he felt was reflective of the current market, and that would ensure a quick sale. I chose the top of that range, and was very happy with the final sale price. The house sold quickly, due to Johns progressive marketing strategies. I was very impressed with the efforts of both John, and his team. I would definitely recommend John Jennings if you’re planning to sell your home.

"John is very experienced and knowledgeable"
My husband and I would like to recommend John Jennings if you decide to sell your house or property. John is very experienced and knowledgeable about selling real estate on the North Shore. We changed our minds about which of two properties to sell three times and he was always very patient and made us feel comfortable about our indecision. We would definitely phone him again if we decided to sell again.B. & M. Macdonald
"His work methods are clear and simple, his marketing is precise"
We had been trying to sell our house for over a year without success when we decided to entrust John with the sale of our home. We determined from the very first meeting with him that he was competent and professional, and we could appreciate very quickly how efficient his website is to get potential buyers’ interest.
In every step, from the initial listing until the actual sale, John proved to be extremely efficient and to the point. His work methods are clear and simple, his marketing is precise, his counsel is provided with knowledge and attention to details, and he truly listens to his clients.
He keeps himself informed of the market to provide accurate advice regarding listing prices and possible strategies and is proficient in the art of negotiations when offers come in. We have also much appreciated his true dedication to his work and his very courteous manners, as well as his team of fine professionals.
Thanks to his expertise, we had several offers to choose from, and our house was sold after only a few days of listing. We highly recommend John and his competent team, and we will let all our friends and relations know how happy we have been with the services he has provided us with.

"John was patient, courteous, kind, professional"
John helped me in so many ways to sell my mother's condo. He advised me on pricing, his website presentation was fantastic and provided a wide exposure, and he advised me on accepting the offer. Thanks to John the condo sold quickly for a price I was happy with. Beyond this, John was patient, courteous, kind, professional, and enormously helpful when legal complications arose at my end. John was a pleasure to work with and I would enthusiastically recommend him to any buyer or seller.

"John is not only an exemplary professional, but a wonderful human being"
Before we listed our home for sale, we interviewed several realtors, and chose John for several reasons: his reputation as an honest, hard-working realtor who works collaboratively with his clients; his use of data, graphs and spreadsheets, which clearly demonstrated his up-to date knowledge of the West Vancouver market; his straightforward, yet pleasant manner; his realistic appraisal of our home and pricing strategy; and his user-friendly website.
We sold our home within a week, thanks in large part to John's marketing approach and his astute negotiating skills. We give John our highest praise. The whole selling process was a joy, not at all stressful. John is not only a exemplary professional, but a wonderful human being. We recommend him without hesitation.

"John is dedicated, informative, attentive and true to his word"
We called John mainly because of his ads which gave us the impression that he was a 'clean cut', energetic, successful realtor. John's presentation to us was both professional and refreshing. His marketing skills are second to none. John is dedicated, informative, attentive and true to his word. Our 'journey' with John has made the sale of our home a pleasure.
M. & D. Noble
"John was extremely diligent in providing maximum exposure in selling our house"
We were not looking to buy, but an opportunity came along that was "irresistible". It was with this decision, and with the decision to sell our existing home, that we called John Jennings. We have not been disappointed. John provided us with a balanced approach to buying our new place as well as with selling our existing home. John was extremely diligent in providing maximum exposure in selling our house [which sold in four weeks!!!] along with professional advice in the many matters surrounding both buying and selling. We appreciated John's professionalism in this regard. Our greatest sense of gratitude for John, came via his honest and warm personality that truly sought out the best interest of us, his client.
We would highly recommend John for anyone considering buying or selling. John truly sees his work as a "calling", where he can help individuals "follow their dreams". Thanks John!!!

"He was very professional and paid attention to details"
I listed my home with John Jennings at Prudential Sussex Realty-John Jennings. I listed it in January fully prepared to wait six months for the property to sell. To my amazement it sold in just ten days and I received the selling price I wanted. He was very professional and paid attention to details. I recommend him as a realtor and would be happy to do business with him in the future.

"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."
G. Delbigio & C. Fekete
"John gave us a comprehensive market analysis in an objective way"
"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."

"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."

"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.

"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

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"
