Testimonials:

"Janet gave excellent advice and direction and was most sensitive in the estate sale of my mother's home.  She was there for me 100% of the time - she didn't even take a break at Christmas time...thank goodness, as we received an offer on Christmas Eve Day.  She followed through on every single aspect of the sale.  I would totally recommend her."  A. Pless, Santa Barbara, CA

"From the beginning, Janet saw the value of our property and set out to achieve it, which she did.  Along the way she was proactive and helpful, assisting us in presenting our property and negotiating through the deal.  It was a success all around."  - R. Graham, Santa Barbara, CA

"We chose to have Janet Caminite represent us in our most recent real estate transaction.  This was a challenging sale of a property which was valued, for a number of legitimate reasons, much higher than comparable sales in our area.  Over the course of the listing period, we were very impressed with Janet's professionalism, attention to detail, and concern for our privacy.  She was easy to work with, and always valued our opinion and listened to our concerns.  The full resources of Sotheby's International Realty® were utilized to give our property the most extensive exposure possible.  This ultimately resulted in a successful sale, for a price which was unprecedented in our area.  We are able to recommend her without hesitation for representing a high standard of professionalism in her industry, as well as providing highly personal and caring service."  -Bob & Sherry O'Hollaren, Ventura, CA

 "We have worked with Janet Caminite for 5 years, and she has assisted us in all aspects of selling and purchasing three properties.  Working with her made all of those transactions a smooth process where every complicated step became simple due to her attitude and responsive action.  ...She has a high level of integrity and works for win-win solutions for all involved.  She has taken the stress out of buying and selling houses, and made moving to our new homes an exciting and easy adventure."  - Mark Samuel, Los Angeles, CA

"My experience of working with Janet was that I was understood and respected, in both business and emotionally.  She understood my image, needs and desires for my home accurately in a very short time.  The end result was she found me a perfect house I feel I paid a fair price for and the previous owner feels she received the right price as well.  It was a win/win with everything being done very clearly and cleanly."  - Constance Leete, Los Angeles, CA

“Your assistance in selling my home was a blessing. When the first escrow became challenging due to the inexperience of the other agent, your patience and knowledge was invaluable. Your generosity of heart and clarity of knowing what to do cleared the way for a second escrow and a thoroughly positive and rewarding culmination.  

As I have learned the real estate business, myself -- I am continually impressed with the width and breath of your abilities. Anyone who chooses to work with you has chosen a gem....be they agent or client. Thank you for being who you are.”                                                          - R. Fox, Los Angeles
