Joujou listed our house in the Central Valley and helped facilitate us purchasing a home in Contra Costa County. I believe her intentions were good but we have had SEVERAL issues with the purchase of our home and unfortunately after reaching out to her for some help and guidance, the ball has dropped and nothing has been resolved at all.
Joujou has made a name for herself in the real estate industry over the years. If your buying and selling process goes smoothly, shes great to work with. If you have problems along the way, good luck!!

Joujou is one of the best in the business. We have purchased several homes over the years and Joujou has helped us with the last two. Great balance between professionalism and personal touch, my wife says she has a “zen” calmness to her approach. She can also be tough as nails when it comes to negotiation and getting deals completed. She works… tirelessly all day and most of the night and never seems to have any downtime when working deals. You know you are in good hands when every agent knows JouJou and respects her abilities to Buy/Sell homes. We highly recommend JouJou for
