Buying a house in this crazy competitive market was really wearing us down. But when we decided to ditch our Redfin agent and go with Jennifer instead, things got so much better! Jennifer was amazing and put in the effort to get to know us and connect with us to find what we were truly looking for in a house. She made sure our terms were as strong as possible, and it was because she went the extra mile that we were able to close on a beautiful home (even though someone else offered more money!). She was flexible for showings and really a wealth of information even after we closed. We are so happy that we decided to work with her.

Jennifer assisted with the sale of our house and was great to work with! You can really tell how good she is just by speaking with her. We're so happy she was referred to us by some neighborhood friends! From staging, to timelines, to making sure everything is done correctly, she knows it all. She always made herself available throughout the process and explained pros and cons of every possible situation while still letting us make the decisions that were right for us. I strongly recommend Jennifer to anyone in the market of buying or selling a home.

We could not have asked for a better realtor than Jennifer!!! In an extremely competitive market, Jennifer was right on top of reserving houses for us to see, typically within minutes of texting her about an interesting property. She helped us out with many showings later at night and on weekends, never canceling an appointment under any circumstances. She was very responsive to all of our texts and emails. She proactively provided us needed info every step of the way which was extremely helpful as first time home buyers. She even went out of her way to check in with our lender to get us updates and to get us the best deal we could get.

Jennifer was the most responsive person I’ve ever done business with. She was also patient with my lack of knowledge of realty. I was looking to buy a home in the price range of the lowest end of the market, but I felt like I got service as if I were shopping for a million dollar house. After two offers fell through, her professionalism and service did not falter. She found me a home. I would not consider using any other realtor in the future, and I'm not generally an easily pleased man when it comes to business. You can't get better for your realty needs.

This was my first home buying process and I know now there is no way I could have done this without Jennifer Venable! She doesn't JUST know real estate, she has made it her mission to know every aspect of buying a home even if it's not something she takes care of herself. It was wonderful! I learned so much from her! Would work with her again in a second and you should too!

I have worked with Jennifer both as a general contractor and on a personal level. As a general contractor I know that Jennifer is willing to fight for what is right for her clients, and this is why I chose her to represent me on the sale of my home(Though my partner and I did interview 4 realtors before selecting her). The experience was excellent and Jennifer was able to sell my home quickly and at the same time get what I considered a better than fair market deal. I then worked with her from a buyer position on my next home; that I am typing this review from today, over 2 years later. I would highly recommend Jennifer Venable for representation on either side of a real estate transaction.

My wife and I have bought two houses with Jennifer, and we will use her if we sell one of them. She is the most responsive agent I have felt with and she knows the process amazingly well. She knows how to negotiate and when, and always answers the phone!

Jennifer Venable was recommended to us by a mortgage loan officer at Wells Fargo. She worked with us for over 6 months to find the perfect house for our family in SE Portland. Jennifer was always available to look at numerous properties in the SE, even though she lived over a 1/2 hr away. When we wanted to put offers on houses, she always included us in negotiations with the seller's realtor and pushed hard for them to responded to us in a timely fashion. Most importantly, she was very patient, never pushy, and encouraged us to hold out on finding the house that was right for our family.

We recently sold our home with her. She is the most efficient and effective realtor we have ever met and we have bought and sold homes all across the U.S. Very good at negotiations, gave us honest feedback on what sells quick like painting, carpet and what to include with the house etc. She has a network of contractors who can quickly and cheaply repair or fix inspection items and she handles it all by herself. You wont go wrong with her. Very highly recommend her.

I cannot say enough about Jennifer. I have engaged a few realtors over the years in various real estate transactions and I can say she is the most strategic, honorable, and thorough professional I have ever worked with. Throughout the process of selling my home, Jennifer was responsive, knowledgeable and positive. We initially consulted about the home and determined the ideal timing for the listing. I received an offer on the house the first day it was on the market. Jennifer walked me through the subsequent process every step of the way. I can't imagine the transaction being as successful without her expertise and oversight.

Jennifer was great from start to finish and helped us more than any other realtor I have had. This was my third home sale and 4th new home. She was honest and kept us updated throughout the whole process. She not only helped us sell our house but spent countless hours showing me homes until I found the perfect one. During inspection of both homes she walked us through the process and even helped us find licensed professionals to do any work we needed done. She was always available for questions, was professional and really knows the local market. I would and have highly recommended her to anyone that is selling or buying a home.
