Jo Ann Poole is Ventura couny's dirty secret. As a professional building inspector, I know of…read morenobody more unethical and greedy than Jo Ann. If you are her seller and your house stays on the market longer than normal, it is likely that other Realtors are steering their clients away from this hot mess. If you are a home buyer, and were tricked into being represented by Jo Ann Poole, your offer will likely be rejected by professional Realtors because no one wants drama. As an example, Jo Ann's clients on Holbertson Court were advised to reject the buyer's choice of home inspector to gain a better result. A dangerous and litigeous decision. At the most basic level, "restraint of trade" is any activity that prevents another party from conducting business as they normally would without such a restraint. Liz (Realtor): "she may have put herself in the way of the Department of Justice." Erik (Realtor): "A bit of a nut job." Jennifer (Realtor): "She is such a liar." Natalie (Realtor): "I have never seen someone so badly represent her client." My opinion (and review) is easy to verify. Just ask any Realtor, inspector, title rep, lender and escrow officer who knows Jo Ann Poole. There will be rolling of the eyes and clearing of the throat because Jo Ann is our industry's dirty secret... until now.

My elderly relatives decided to move out of state and needed to sell their home in the Wood Ranch…read morecommunity. We interviewed Jo Ann Poole and were impressed with her many years of experience and familiarity with the area, she lives in Wood Ranch! My relatives and I were comfortable and confident with her, selecting her as our Realtor was an easy decision. The home was opened for showing and we immediately received numerous offers including two that were well over the asking price! Escrow was opened the next business day! As with any real estate transaction there are issues and concerns that come up. Jo Ann was always available to take our calls/texts and answer any questions that we had as she guided us through the process. She was understanding and patient when explaining the details to my relatives. Escrow closed on time and my relatives have relocated to their new home. We would not hesitate to use Jo Ann's services in the future.

We had an opportunity recently to be assisted by Bri King and her team at Prime Real Estate. It was…read morea great experience. The first impression was outstanding as one walks into their gorgeous, welcoming office on Town Center Drive in Valencia. I was initially impressed seeing their property listings viewed from the front windows. As we learned, Bri has been a local realtor/broker for many years and is an incredibly hard worker. As far as 'value' it's really important to have a knowledgeable realtor representing you and she and her team have been successful for so many years, I guess one simply needs to draw the conclusion that those offering the best service and value survive. They have been around many years which answers that question.

Sara and Tracy truly were amazing! We walked in their office just passing by wanting to see what…read morethe area had to offer as we were relocating. They both jumped in showing us the amazing area and gave us an MLS list to see if anything fit. We left back out of town, they both took time to continue sending us listings that worked for us and walked the homes via FaceTime with us. Anything we needed, they were happily willing to help out. Definitely recommend!

We feel so lucky to have worked with Samantha as our both buying and selling agent. Thanks to her…read moreexpertise, experience and dedication, we quickly sold our previous home and are now in the home of our dreams. The thought of simultaneously buying and selling can feel daunting, but she walked us through the whole process. I feel like I'd gained a friend on the "inside" who was working for me and truly looking out for my welfare. If you are in the market to buy or sell, I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha.

We first met Samantha when she showed us a house on the market back in the Fall of 2017. We liked…read moreher immediately. From that day forward, whenever we asked her to show us a house she instantly made it happen. Most importantly to us, she always followed up by obtaining and relaying the answers to every question we had on each property. In the spring of 2018, we thought we were finally ready to sell our beloved home and find a new home. She didn't just leave the search up to us. Everyday Samantha sent us listings of properties we might be interested in. She made herself immediately available to show us homes whenever we asked. She always accommodated our schedule. She never rushed us through a showing. And again...she followed through, obtaining all the information we needed on each property. When putting our house on the market, Samantha didn't make any excuses when we didn't like the first pictures taken. She brought in another photographer and got us the most gorgeous photos. She had our house on the market within a week. She and her always available and very knowledgeable assistant Sherri went through the contacts with us with a fine tooth comb. Samantha is exceedingly trustworthy. With kid gloves and endless patience, she and Sherri answered every question we had. In not the strongest sellers market, Samantha had us a full price offer within 3 weeks. Unfortunately, at that time we also had some medical concerns and it proved too much for us to handle both situations at the same time . With deep compassion, Samantha pulled us off the market and released us with kindness. So there was no doubt in our minds who we would call when we really were ready. In the late summer on 2020, Samantha agreed to put us back on the market at the highest possible asking price. She had us listed in less than a week. She refused to put a lockbox on our house and personally showed our home to everyone interested. At the same time, she took us down to the San Diego area every time we wanted to see a house we were interested in. When our house didn't sell immediately, Samantha remained focused on the uniqueness of the property and was determined to be patient and get us the highest price. In under two months she got us exactly what we wanted. She also helped with every difficult aspect of the even more unique property we made an offer on in SD. Samantha is not only well versed in everything real estate related, but she also has a background in mortgage loans and building construction. She has boundless energy. She never forgets anything. She gives you her undivided attention. Even when dealing with us, as very emotional sellers, and an extremely difficult selling agent in San Diego, she never got rattled. She personally troubled-shot every challenge. She often said to us; "I just want everyone to be happy." We knew that was her true motivation when we watched her personally go to great lengths to make sure the buyer of our home was also getting a house completely in order. Samantha didn't represent them and they didn't ask for any extras ... Samantha did everything she did for them out of the goodness of her heart. She loves people. She loves what she does. She's one in a million. We will forever be grateful to have found this wonderful lady who lovingly guided us through one of the most challenging transitions of our lives. No way could we have done it without her. Thank you Samantha. You are a diamond in the "rough" real estate industry!!
