5 Stars! As a first-time homebuyer, I had so many questions, but working with Jill made the entire process go incredibly smoothly. She guided me through every step, offering expert advice and connecting me with all the right people--from lenders to inspectors. We toured several properties, and when my favorite home went off the market, I was disappointed. But Jill remembered how much I loved it and went above and beyond by reaching out to the selling agent to see if it was still available. It was--and thanks to her initiative and persistence, she arranged a private showing, and I was able to make it mine! Jill negotiated a price that I could afford, and she was truly my biggest supporter and cheerleader throughout the entire journey. I'm so grateful she remembered the home that checked all my boxes and made my dream home a reality. I'm now happily settled in my new home, and I owe it all to Jill. She made the home-buying experience not only easy but genuinely enjoyable--I can't recommend her highly enough! Thanks Jill, You made my dream of home ownership a reality, and I am so greatful! read more

Jill is, hands down, the best realtor I've ever had the privilege of working with. She helped me to successfully sell my Boulder condo in a very difficult market. Before finding her, I worked with another agent who was unable to sell the property for many months. Despite this, Jill was optimistic and quickly turned things around. She connected me with an excellent stager, personally went above and beyond to showcase how great the space could look, and even personally attended many showings. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't found Jill. She is a lifesaver, and I recommend her to everyone selling any type of home. read more

Among the many options we have for realtors in Boulder, Jill outshines them all. Her familiarity with the Boulder market is unmatched! She has helped us purchase and sell homes in Boulder. She listened, gave practical advice, and was an effective advocate. When the first offer on our downtown condo fell through, Jill found a buyer quickly and we were under contract again two days later. She has great connections (lenders, stagers, builders, etc.) within the community. Most importantly, Jill is very sincere and approachable, which makes working with her easy. We hope others in the community are able to benefit from her expertise like we have! read more

We had a fantastic experience working with Jill Grano on the purchase of our first home. One thing that really stood out was her attention to detail--she caught a key piece of information in a listing that was easy to miss, and it ended up making a big difference for us down the line. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and she was always available to answer them, join us on house tours, and walk us through every step. She was incredibly timely in getting our offer submitted, which gave us a low-stress start to our contract and made us feel confident moving forward. It's clear she really knows what she's doing and truly cares for and protects her clients. Highly recommend Jill! read more

It is our sincere pleasure to provide a review for Jill Grano. Jill is our Boulder agent who worked with us in finding our new home. Jill is a savvy real estate broker with a warm and friendly personality and she really made the process of purchasing a home seamless. Jill has wonderful presence and is keenly aware of the Boulder real estate market and its nuances. We are new to Boulder so her background, connections, and understanding of the market was critical to our success. We so enjoy her cheerful personality and her expertise around navigating the offer and purchase experience. Jill worked tirelessly to help us find the right house that fit our needs and stayed one step ahead of the game in securing first showings and getting us in the forefront of the Boulder real estate process. We highly recommend Jill to anyone looking to purchase a home and feel fortunate to have found her based on all her great online reviews. She really delivered!

Jill is a FANTASTIC realtor. A friend referred her to us and we were so grateful. Jill was the whole package: she has a deep local knowledge, a real understanding of the market, total respect for our budget (didn't show us houses that we couldn't afford and would make us feel sad), and a warm and friendly way with everyone. She even played with our toddler kiddo while we went through houses so we could concentrate. Every question we had she either knew the answer to or worked to find and all of her suggestions, from inspectors to contractors, have been great. We were buying from out of state which adds another layer of stress, but Jill kept everything super smooth, taking on a lot of the stress herself so we didn't have to, which was very appreciated. And if that's not enough, she's just a general badass. She was on City Council and knows EVERYONE. She is a gem and anyone would be lucky to work with her. read more

Jill is an absolutely incredible partner in the homebuying process. She's super knowledgeable about the area, well-connected into finding buying opportunities, and went above and beyond during the search and closing process to help in every way possible.  She helped us craft a great offer, navigated the closing items (e.g., inspections, title, etc) on our behalf, and visited the home several times to take videos and check up on progress during the closing process.  Couldn't have asked for a better partner and will 100% work with her for our next home. read more

My experience with realtors has been that they add friction to the transaction and wait with extended hand at closing. This is not the case with Jill Grano. She worked hard for us, literally going door to door in the neighborhood where we wanted to buy and where no houses were for sale. And she did find a place for us, where we have lived for ten years. My wife and I are so grateful for her hard work and thorough professionalism. She earned the commission--the applause for a job well done. read more

I'm writing this review after Day 1 of my home search with Jill Grano: Day 0: Jill called me to discuss what I am looking for, she was very professional and courteous. Day 0.5: Jill sent me listings based on our brief phone conversation -- Clearly she is a good listener because the listings she sent me were right on the money; No time wasted looking through places that didn't meet my budget, standards, etc. -- Great job Jill! Day 1: I had to change plans for where we were going to meet and Jill accommodated my request -- No problems. So far you might be wondering, "Ok, so Jill was professional, courteous, etc. but isn't that how all agents should be?" Yes, but they're not. Here's why Jill get's 5 stars (In no particular order): 1. She smart, she *listens*, she *gets* it, and she's not going to waste your time or hers. You don't have to explain to her what you're looking for twice. 2. She's a problem solver. So far the place I liked best is under-contract. She called the sellers agent, she asked the important questions. Next, she has already come up with a few ideas on how to still get me what I'm looking for even though the place I liked best is under contract. Way to go Jill! 3. She's objective. I've had agents who say exactly the same thing with every property they show you, "Oh, this is perfect for you. . .Oh, this is perfect for you. . ." None of that with Jill -- She made exactly the same remarks I did about the pros and cons of each and every property she showed me today. 4. She's nice to talk with. She happened to share with me that her husband, Jordan, is the founder and owner of Folsom Skis in Boulder -- How awesome is that? 5. So far, I really feel that Jill wants to help me find the property I want, and not just get me under contract so she can move on to the next sale. That's value, and that's an agent's commission well-earned and deserved. Final update [2 weeks after closing]: Everything from start to finish working with Jill went like clockwork: 1. Loan: Jill recommended Dave Schell (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dave-schell/9/958/280) -- I told Jill that I don't think that loan agents/brokers add much value but I contacted Dave anyway. I have to now say that *MOST* loan agents/brokers don't add much value. Dave was immediately responsive, got me the lowest rate, locked me (and extended it to my closing date), and made sure all the ducks were in a row in advance of closing. I'll be writing a separate review of Dave Schell shortly. 2. Inspection: Jill recommended George Scott over at Scott Home Inspection http://www.scotthomeinspection.com/. George met me at the property personally and walked around the property with me showing me things that were good and things I should ask to have fixed -- Fortunately the property was solid and the only things he recommended that needed to be fixed were very minor -- His suggestion to have a dying aspen tree removed was particularly valuable and the owner/sellers were very gracious about paying to have it taken care of. 3. Closing: Jill and Dave met me the morning of the close -- I was 15 minutes late. We were done in and hour and a half. I couldn't be happier with my new home and the whole process was not only painless it was actually a pleasure. I can honestly say that I've woken up with a smile on my face every morning since moving in. This is why I moved to Colorado, it's not just the beautiful landscapes, the people here are amazing and Jill Grano, Dave Schell, and George Scott are great examples of people who are very professional, take their work seriously, do a great job, and are a pleasure to work with. Fantastic job Jill!!

We just bought our first home in Boulder and absolutely loved working with Jill. My expectation was that home buying would be stressful and heartbreaking at points, but that wasn't the case with Jill. She is thorough, professional, personable, genuine, honest, _____, _____ (I'll spare you the multitude of other complimentary adjectives that describe her, but when you meet Jill you'll be able to fill in the blanks). No matter our concern, qualm, or nit pick (and we are nit picky people) she totally got us right from the get go. I honestly feel that her first step in the home hunt was getting to know us as people so that our home would absolutely fit our personalities. She really took our needs and wants into consideration and didn't waste our time with a house that couldn't be "our house." She even started working with us while we were living in California so we could get into a home with our tight moving schedule. You would think that the distance would have created some difficulties, but at no point did I feel like the home hunt was less efficient than it should have been because Jill still managed to update our personal home finder portal daily (with that said we can throw flexible and accommodating into the complimentary adjective mix). Needless to say, we found THE house or "our house" and the entire process was painless. Jill took care of all the details and was always there to represent us and oversee the sale every step of the way. Post sale, Jill remains approachable and involved when or if we need her. She's not only a great realtor but a great resource for Boulder. I hope everyone can enjoy home buying as much as we did! Thanks again! Samantha & Erik read more

I hired Jill to sell my loft in downtown Boulder, and she delivered with great success. Jill was extremely creative in the manner in which she presented my loft from a marketing perspective, and conducted herself very professionally throughout the entire duration from listing to closing. She was very persistent and never gave up, and she got me a price higher than I originally thought that I could get, but knew that it was worth. I highly recommend Jill if you are thinking about selling your residence! I can also imagine that she would be wonderful to work with on the buy-side as well. read more

We feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have met Jill. My husband and I never imagined we would be able to own a home in the Boulder area that fit our budget and future plans. Jill was highly professional, incredibly responsive and a strategic negotiator. She wisely guided us through our contract offer. We were one of five bids and without offering much over the asking price our contract was accepted. Previously, we owned a townhouse in Maryland and a home in central California. These are competitive markets but the culture and customs of real estate in each one is very different. Jill's knowledge not just of real estate but the Boulder area as well always steered us in the right direction. Her genuine kindness and patience with all our questions and concerns completely minimized any stress. The funny thing is I found Jill "by accident." I had not read any client reviews but saw her instead on Youtube. She was talking about her perspective on the Boulder market and her priorities not just as a Realtor but as a person. It was obvious she was down to earth, smart and competent, but what struck me most was her presence. Once in a while, you see or meet someone who you instinctively know is wise and trustworthy. There's also a sense they will go above and beyond for the people in their community and work. That's Jill. I finally got around to reading her client's glowing reviews and now I get to do one too. My husband and I cannot recommend her enough. She is one of a kind. Kathy and Bill read more

Being first time home owners as well as trying to compete in the craziness of the Boulder real estate market really made us feel like we had no chance at getting a house in Boulder. Jill helped us for 6 months trying to find the right house. Whether it was working long hours trying to get a bid in on the first night or making us the first people to look at house once it hit the market, Jill was in 100% trying to get us the home we wanted. If it wasn't for her superior quickness and attentiveness to the market we would of never been able to grab the house we did before anyone else even had a chance to see it. She never ceased to amaze us by either knowing the answers to everything we asked or immediately calling inspectors, builders and even the home owners the very same day. In the end we got the home that we wanted and felt at ease during all the steps that are involved with buying a home. What else could a first time home buyer hope for. We would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a home in Boulder. Thanks Jill Dave & Courtney read more

Jill sold our condo in downtown Boulder in 2016. She was wonderful to work with and made the whole process very easy for my wife and I. The listing looked beautiful and our condo was under contract within days. Jill is an exceptional realtor and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. read more

As the other reviewers have said, Jill is outstanding. She understood that we needed much more than buying a house. She helped me visit potential schools for my children, she gave us information to find health insurance and doctors, really the list of how she helped us is too long to write. Suffice to say, whatever we asked of her, she did and did it quickly. She is an incredible resource and I would easily go to her again. read more

Jill Grano is a superstar among realtors! I had the pleasure of working with her twice, the first time she helped me find a rental house and the second was when I bought a permanent home. When I came to Boulder 2 years ago, I did not know anyone or anything about the real estate market. I was referred to Jill by a friend, and even though Jill does not typically handle rental property - she spent an entire day driving me and my husband around looking a homes to rent. This was quite a challenge because as an older professional I was not interested in what was primarily available in Boulder. However, Jill listened to our wants, dislikes and what was most important in a home for me. She found the perfect place in one day, which is all I had time to look, as I was only in Boulder for 2 days. I loved my rental, it was a newly remodeled early 19th century house in central Boulder with wonderful landlords who have become dear friends. 18 months later when I was ready to begin the search for a home to buy, I thought of Jill and how customer service oriented she had been in our rental search. I had experienced what working with someone else could be like. When I first thought about buying, I saw a house for sale and called the listing agent, who acted as if he was doing me a favor by showing me the house and spent the entire time talking about himself. I immediately called Jill and she presented me with options within a day. As I embarked on my search Jill's skill at finding the perfect place emerged. She listened and knew we wanted to be central but had an eye for what was possible in a house, if it was in the right location. We were not afraid to take on a remodel. Jill also knew the market and how competitive it was in Boulder, if she thought there was a house I might like, she got me there first thing, as she knew it would not be on the market long. The house I ultimately bought was a real find. Jill has amazing contacts and heard about the house before it even was on the market - we were in the neighborhood a few weeks earlier and she had us look at it, just in case it came available. It did and she was first in line. She walks on water when it comes to doing what it takes to get you the best deal and the home you want. She helped me find a mortgage company, Elevations credit union (Aaron Stauffer is also the best banker I have worked with), and facilitated getting the financing while I was traveling out of the country. The process was on a short time frame to close and was very stressful. Whenever I was about to give up, Jill was there to reassure me and do whatever I needed help with to get through the process. I could not have done it without her. Even when we closed she continued to help me - she got me a housekeeper, inspector, surveyor, and architect. She knows everyone! The day I moved in she even brought flowers. What a sweetie! read more

We have worked with countless realtors and have only once before worked with such a true professional. Not only is Jill a charming person to be around she is totally committed to finding the right property and is honest about the market....rarely seen by most realtors! Jill was able to find us the perfect property, which hadn't even been listed yet; we bought it instantly. I would not hesitate to recommend Jill Grano to anyone! read more

During a visit to Boulder in April 2012, which was one of many such visits, we met Jill Grano. Jill was representing a property that we were interested in seeing. At the time, we were still deciding whether to relocate to Boulder and as such we were non-committal with regard to any real estate matters. Several months later we found ourselves in a position of being able to relocate to Boulder. Jill then provided us with helpful guidance while respecting our desire to be independent. As time moved on, we found ourselves seeking more of Jill's advice. Ultimately, we had Jill represent us as long distance home buyers. During the course of the buying transaction we found Jill to be very responsive to our needs, to be a creative problem solver, and to be a dependable representative who gets task completed. As an indication of how valued we think of Jill, we have maintained an ongoing friendship with Jill and her family. Needless to say, we can unequivocally recommend Jill. read more
