Testimonials

I am writing to share my extreme satisfaction with my agent Jennifer Cosgrove, who represented me in both the purchase of my new home in Willow Glen and the sale of my existing home in Los Altos. The home I was interested in purchasing was a new build and already on the market prior to even listing my home for sale, so I needed to write a contingent offer – first contingent offer ever accepted by the builder TJ Homes. Jennifer represented me in the most thoughtful and professional manner. She provided an extensive market analysis for my Los Altos home. It was due to Jennifer’s stellar reputation and relationships she has developed professionally with agents in Los Altos that she was able to obtain details of these pending transactions, including number of offers, terms and accepted offer price info. This was extremely helpful in establishing a list price of my home for maximum interest and competitive offers. I had full confidence in Jennifer’s recommendations due to her diligence in her market analysis. She worked quickly to schedule all of the necessary inspections, a professional licensed handyman to take care of a long list of items found in the inspections. She then scheduled staging and photography, and my home was live on the MLS within hours. Jennifer was a masterful negotiator with professional integrity. Within 48 hours of my listing becoming active, Jennifer had received an offer 10% over list price, non-contingent and included a free rent-back for 45 days which allowed me to avoid a double move and short-term rental expense! My initial meeting with Jennifer was on March 6th, and I accepted the winning offer at noon on March 22nd. With the number of inspections, repair work, professional photography, cleaning and staging that need to take place prior to listing my home, this is an astoundingly quick turnaround. I can’t imagine how these transactions could have gone any better. The level of professionalism and integrity Jennifer exhibited has been exceptional. She communicated with me regularly throughout the transactions and kept me abreast of all the important milestones. I will recommend Jennifer with great enthusiasm and confidence to all of my friends and colleagues.

local communities. It is a grass-roots foundation where everyone at Intero gives back to our community
through the Intero foundation. Jennifer has been actively involved in this foundation from the
beginning!
All the best to you in your next chapter!

Brian Crane, CEO Intero Real Estate Services

• I would like to express my sincere thanks, on behalf of National Semiconductor/Texas Instruments, to Jennifer Cosgrove who has provided invaluable real estate services to our relocating employees over the past 10 years. Jennifer has given professional guidance to transferred executives and managers, and has provided a credible and realistic picture of the housing options available in the valley. Her ability to connect with individuals of diverse backgrounds and demonstrate a clear understanding of their needs has enabled our company to successfully relocate a large number of employees to the Bay Area.
Because Jennifer’s approach is so positive and upbeat, our relocating employees come away with such a good impression about our company and the Bay Area that they are immeasurably more productive early in their Bay Area careers. Jennifer is particularly successful because she is realistic about the market and the possibilities, and imbues our employees with the same realism and, at the same time, optimism.
Having Jennifer as our company real estate agent has been instrumental in enabling our management team to successfully move their employees to the Bay Area, and has ensured that these employees are pleased with their new housing.
I cannot say enough to express our gratitude.

She is very proactive, understands the market well and gives you a clear picture of what to expect when you decide to sell your property or are looking for a new home.

I can recommend Jennifer without any hesitation to anyone considering a purchase or sale of a home.

George Davis, CFO Intero Corp

If it weren't for Jennifer Cosgrove I would not be in my dream home today. There were many serious hurdles to jump, but she took them on like a fun challenge. Jennifer is very hardworking, thorough, and honest. She never let a day go by where she wasn't doing the work it would take to get me in my wonderful home or filling me in on what was happening in the process. She was and is an absolute Godsend. Jennifer's passion for her work and great desire and loyalty to help you will be evident from day one!

Stephanie G, Silicon Valley

• "Jennifer is hands-down, the best real estate agent I've worked with. She is detail-oriented, dedicated and passionate about her work. Additionally, she worked arduously with our lender Lori Mahan to ensure our offer and transaction closed. Her negotiation skills and professionalism really stood out as we ran up against various obstacles. I cannot imagine someone doing a better job than Jennifer, when it came to these delicate issues. We are extremely grateful to have such a power player to help us navigate our real estate endeavors! I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to buy or sell their property. I know that my husband and I will continue to work with her as our needs grow and change in years to come."

• When my then husband & I moved to the Bay Area almost 9 years ago, Jennifer helped us look for & find our home in Campbell/ Willow Glen. Last year, she helped me find my own home in San Jose and helped me connect with different sources as I went through renovation projects. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and understands the market but to me the biggest plus is that she truly listens to understand what her clients want in a home and works at finding that for them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home - you will not regret working with her!!

• I’m very late in writing this review have done this much sooner but here goes. I worked with Jennifer twice before as a buyer but this time was as a seller. I decided this past January to sell my San Jose home & move to Austin. I have friends who are realtors but there was no doubt in my mind I wanted to work with Jennifer again She knows me & knows how I think but as important, she knows what she’s doing & totally understands the market. After the inspections, staging, photo/video shoot, etc were done we listed the house in mid-February & in no time had 2 offers. After some back & forth I accepted an offer & was waiting for contingencies to be removed than shelter in place hit & house inspections were not getting done so I could almost see the deal fall apart. One of Jennifer's biggest strengths is managing through the process, even in these crazy times, and keeping her clients calm & informed every step of the way. That was a stressful time in many ways but with Jennifer by my side, the offer went through, I was able to move to Austin, and 6 months later I’m settled in my new home here. I know this is a long review but in a nutshell, if you’re looking for a realtor who will listen to you, who will guide you every step of the process, who will go to bat for you & totally have your back, and will truly be happy for you as you purchase or sell your house, then Jennifer is the realtor for you. I would gladly recommend her to anyone & if I get the chance to buy a property in the area again, there’s no doubt who I will work with!

• Just Awesome! Enthusiastic, Friendly, Expert, go-getter, Responsive, Passionate, Professional, knowledgeable and a clear vision - the first few words that come to my mind as I'm writing my review for Jennifer.
For a first time home buyer Like us(Me &my husband) and someone that worries about things even when there is nothing to worry about, our mind was always at ease working with Jennifer and she made our first time home buying process a joy.
She really understood what we wanted and ended up finding our dream house for us! Any questions I had were answered in a "matter of minutes". You literally feel like you are the only person she is working with to help find a home, when clearly, that is not the case. Email, watsapp, messaging, call she will not take more than 10 mins to revert back.
If we Like a House , she never hesitates to point out the Pros &cons in there and educate us the actual status of the house, she immediately Pools in a report of that house , Price assessment, Neighborhood, schools rating and all other possible information and send an email to us before end of the day.
She was incredibly professional and helpful, pointing out potential issues with houses we never would have considered. When a routine radon test came back with unfavorable results on the house we wanted, Mindy jumped in with us to educate ourselves on the issue and to modify our offer so the problem was addressed(The seller agreed to do few repairs for us ,spending from his pockets). She did not stop there ,she was with us until all inspections were done and she was such a great support to us.
We can never forget the day she handed over the key to us , she had champagne and decorated our house with balloons and took pictures with us ,she made our day and shared the happiness with us.
Jennifer went above and beyond what we expected from an agent and had been a good friend, guide, well-wisher, family member and we would 100% recommend her to anyone that is looking for a home.

My husband and I bought our Campbell home 22 years ago. After interviewing a few real estate agents, we chose Jennifer. She used to live a few houses from us before moving to Capitola. I was always so amazed how she helped the neighbors sell their houses, and everybody loves her. Both my husband and I were extremely anxious because it was our first time selling a house and we are very sentimental for leaving memories behind. Jennifer sat down with us and attended to every detail in a professional manner and brought about results exceeding our expectations. She was calm and helped us through this stressful decision. Her smile and energy helped a lot during this process. She sold our house in 3 days with multiple offers, negotiated $210K over asking and a free rent back from the buyers while we searched for our new home in AZ!!
Jennifer is one of the best agents we ever met, and we would highly recommend using her for your real estate needs, whether you are buying or selling! You won't be disappointed.
Thank you, Jennifer, we are so grateful for your support and excellent service during this process. ~Sannette and Andre N., Campbell
