OH MY GOSH. Where do I begin? J&J Realty is beyond amazing. This is our second time working with them and we have nothing but wonderful things to say. We decided to sell our home and purchase a new home and within just over 30 days, we had not only SOLD our own home, but we BOUGHT our dream home, closed on BOTH properties and moved in! You don’t hear of that very often. Both Janet and JoyLynn were involved, supportive, responsive, and joined in our excitement during the process. Thank you ladies for everything! Highly recommend!

Janet and JoyLynn are the dream team! They helped me find and purchase my first home, so when my fiancé and I decided to upgrade they were the only choice for us. They helped us get top dollar for my townhouse and managed to find us the perfect single family home in Alpine for less than asking! They have a fabulous network and are amazing to work with. If you are looking to buy or sell (or both!) definitely call J&J.

The J&J Realty team did a lot more for us than we've ever expected from Realtors! They went above and beyond with being thorough, organized, responsive and knowledgeable of all the areas we were interested in. As young first time home buyers my husband and I didn't know what to expect but Janet and Joylynn reassured us and were there every step of the way. Janet was not only organized with showing dates and times but also very patient and understanding with everything we wanted along with answering any and every question we had. It really eased our conscious knowing we were in their best interest the entire time, from the very first phone call until closing day. They're an amazing team and we've been so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with them!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

JoyLynn just helped me buy my first home! :) She has been amazing every step of the way. During my house hunting process, the rising market made it difficult to secure a home, I lived across the country and had a time crunch of when I needed to move in, and yet, JoyLynn was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process. She did numerous video walkthroughs, she worked with both myself and my parents who lived in the state and were able to look at homes for me when I wasn’t there. She was absolutely on top of everything, replying to my questions immediately and jumping on any opportunity to find me a house that suited my situation. In the end, she helped me buy a house before it went on the market! I highly recommend working with her. She is beyond knowledgeable in her trade and is a pleasure to work with. I’m very grateful for my experience with her.

These are tough times to purchase a home due to lack of inventory and multiple offers bidding the selling prices up. It was a pleasure to work with Janet who was always there at the appointed time. Due to her experience, know-how and patience we were able to secure the property we wanted.

Janet and JoyLynn did an amazing job for us when purchasing our dream home in Cardiff. They both were always available for showings and to answer any questions we have. Their expertise and knowledge of the current and local markets are excellent. It is such a competitive market in San Diego and they were able to help us negotiate and get an offer accepted when there were multiple offers. I would highly recommend using them. They are knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with.

Janet was exceptional in guiding my home purchase to completion. My search was not an easy one in a competitive market with limited inventory. She and her team were always fast to respond and react. The unit I bought was in front of my eyes the same day it came on the market and we were the first and only ones to see it that afternoon. We made an offer that night and countered immediately when asked by the seller. I believe these were major factors in getting selected over other offers. She was there every step from the initial search to the final walk through and gave great advice.

I also love how honest and transparent she is.

We were thankful to have found JoyLynn at J&J Realty! We found her through Zillow when looking to make an appointment to see a home we were interested in. That house didn’t end up working out, but within two weeks, we were in escrow on our absolute dream home. We feel so lucky that we were able to find exactly what we wanted with JoyLynn’s help!

In a world where "personal" or "full service" almost becomes cliché, these adjectives would not do justice to the entire process that was my search for the perfect home. My initial encounter was with Janet, who's intimate knowledge of the area and patience to help me figure out where I wanted to land really gave me the confidence in my decision that this was "home". Were that the end of the story that would have been sufficient. But as with any home purchase, there were bumps in the road, and Janet's expertise helped to smooth out the process and solve the problems the came up. Where "J&J", Janet and JoyLynn, really shine, IMHO, is after the sale. I just moved here within the last year, and I really didn't know who to go to for help from carpentry to blinds to even figuring out how to pick the right paint colors. It became rather overwhelming, and both Janet and JoyLynn continued to help with both trusted vendors and personal attention, which greatly helped me to focus just getting settled into my new home. The end result? I couldn't be more pleased. The place looks awesome, I have a contact list of people I can now call for any repairs or projects I need, and I have two more trusted people in the neighborhood I know I can count on.

Working with Janet and JoyLynn was a very good experience for us. We were purchasing our first home and had virtually no idea what we were doing. We were able to get not only all of our questions answered, but we were able to make confident decisions based on the honest and realistic opinions of Janet and JoyLynn. We never once had to hesitate when make decisions that were related to our home. We worked for several months to find the perfect fit, and when we finally did, we had nothing but the best support and team. I would recommend anyone to this team, and look forward to working with them in the future.

Both JoyLynn and Janet were amazing in helping my husband and I locate and secure our dream home last year. We were having a very difficult time securing a home when we kept having to compete with a dozen other offers on each home we went for with another realtor. Thankfully we didnt get those homes because the RIGHT one came around and JoyLynn and Janet scooped in and secured the home right away without us having to go through a bidding war. They also turned us on to Caliber Home loans for our VA loan. Caliber was the perfect partner completing our escrow in 14 days! Very professional team all the way around!

Our experience in working with Janet was extremely positive. I didn't know Janet prior to walking into a home she was showing but instantly felt she was knowledgeable, professional and warm. We decided to put an offer in on the home within a day and Janet carefully walked us through every step - even suggesting a lender that we were very pleased with. It didn't seem to matter what time of the day or night I sent a text to Janet - she promptly got back to me to answer my questions or offer guidance. I also appreciated Janet and JoyLynn opening the home for me several times prior to closing so I could get ideas, walk my designer through, etc. Overall, I would give them five stars.

I got the privilege to work with both Janet and JoyLynn. They are both incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and a great pleasure to work with. They helped me look at houses in multiple areas: Oceanside, Murrietta and Temecula. If I text or emailed them, they responded promptly. They made sure I was informed and introduced me to people who were experts in their field who could help me with financing. I highly recommend them. … [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Our experience in working with Janet was extremely positive. I didn't know Janet prior to walking into a home she was showing but instantly felt she was knowledgeable, professional and warm. We decided to put an offer in on the home within a day and Janet carefully walked us through every step even suggesting a lender that we were very pleased with. It didn't seem to matter what time of the day or night I sent a text to Janet - she promptly got back to me to answer my questions or offer guidance. I also appreciated Janet and JoyLynn opening the home for me several times prior to closing so I could get ideas, walk my designer through, etc. Overall, I would give them five stars.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Janet was AMAZING! We were moving from Arizona to So Cal and had no knowledge or experience in purchasing a home. Janet walked us through every single step and made us feel well-informed in the market. We were on a very short time frame to find a home and only had one day to look. She showed us numerous houses according to what our preferences were so that we could find the best home to fit us, and we did! We found an amazing home, in our price range AND in the neighborhood we wanted. We are so incredibly grateful for Janet's assistance and guidance. She was always available to answer questions throughout the process and to reassure us that everything would work out. THANK YOU Janet for being the best realtor ever! Anyone would be lucky to have you as a realtor. All our thanks, Kyle and Maggie… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Our transaction ended up being very complex and having a lot of twists and turns and she really had our back. She put our best interest first, was honest and ethical.

Janet is truly a one-of-a-kind gem in the fast paced world of Southern California real estate. She listens, ascertains your needs, wants, and preferences and executes without fail. You can trust Janet to have your interests as her priority and her desire to match you with your (not anyone else's) perfect home is unparalleled, even if it means scrapping a deal in escrow and going back on the hunt. Her enthusiasm and professionalism never wavers and at the end of the day you can count on her to deliver - whether that is an offer, a counter, finding a lender, home inspector, pest inspector, or candid advice in a multiple offer scenario. You could not ask for a better real estate agent. Look no further.

We worked with Janet Thorton when we purchased our house. She listened to what we were interested in, what the price range was, and what location. Janet worked closely with us to show us many nice homes over the course of several months. She was not pushy which was truly appreciated. So happy to have met her and worked with her on our purchase. Lovely lady and she appreciated our business. We were very pleasantly surprised when she gave us a gift card as a "Thank you for your business". No realtor had ever done that for us.

big shout-out to the Dynamic duo Janet and JoyLynn for helping us out on our first home purchase. JoyLynn was there from the very beginning when we initially embarked on this journey of home search; provided objective opinions and recommendations along the way to help us make best choices. Even with her being temporarily incapacitated due to a personal problem, she made sure that Janet fill in and help us close the deal. I would strongly recommend this Duo for any of your real estate transactions in the Greater SD area. Thanks J&J for all your help and guidance !

Janet at J&J Realty was a Godsend for us. Being relatively new to California we had no idea how to negotiate the hurdles in buying a new home nor how to negotiate the best deal for us. After meeting with Janet the first time she took the reigns and took all the worry and hassle out of finding the perfect home for us in a very fast moving market. Not only did she did she negotiate our bid in such a way that it was accepted right off the bat, but she helped us in finding the perfect lender for our needs, setting up all the necessary inspections, etc. Janet's experience and fantastic personality have allowed her to assemble a team of resources that can't be beat!
