Here are a few recommendations from my past clients -
We would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Janet McCarthy
and the Prudential Team in assisting us in finding and purchasing a
wonderful home in San Diego. We were renting a home in San Diego and
began looking to purchasing a home in the Spring of 2008. We were not in
a rush given the real estate market and we wanted to find the right home
for our family. After looking at several homes initially, Janet was able
to understand our minimal and maximum requirements from both the home
specifications point of view, but also the financial aspects of
purchasing a home. Over the course of a five month period we narrowed
our list of homes and began the bidding process. We, initially, placed
two bids on Short Sales homes. The Short Sale process is quite painful
from a buyer perspective and, we are sure, from a Realtor perspective.
Throughout this process, Janet kept us well informed as to the status and
utilized several “in-house” Prudential Services to assist in managing the
Short Sale. Ultimately, we did not buy either of the Short Sale
properties due to various trials and tribulations. In mid-October of
2008, we found a wonderful home that was for sale directly from the home
owner’s. Given that, by this time, Janet had all of our requirements and
financial contacts/information, we were able to quickly come to terms and
close the sale. While frustrating at times during this five-month
period, Janet never waivered from representing our interests in a
positive manner. In the end, we had a win-win situation in which all
parties were happy. Thanks again for your management and support
throughout this process!

Hi Janet,
I don’t know if I have mentioned this to you or not, but it bears repeating
even if I did.
Mike and I have bought and sold two houses in the past. This is the very
first time of these five major transactions that we have felt our agent was
working for *us*, rather protecting the interests of the other party! It is
a wonderful feeling, I must say! You have really impressed us with your
willingness to go the extra mile — and there were quite a few miles under
our wheels before you led us to this remarkable house we hope to call home
in the near future.
Between Fred, Mike and your watchful eye, I feel confident that the major
issues, especially those involving safety and code infractions, will be
successfully resolved. We feel very lucky to have found you. Thank you for
your quiet, steadfast style that builds trust in people like us. In this
somewhat scary time of the uncertain economy, it is nice to feel assured you
are doing everything in your power to protect us from unforeseen
and avoidable costs to us down the road.
You can be sure we will highly recommend you to our friends!

Janet McCarthy has been a tremendous help and support through this home buying. Looking at
houses were fun at first until we realized all the other buyers and investors were buying homes in our
price range. Buying in this market became extremely competitive. When we got discouraged, Janet
was so supportive and encouraging. This kept our moral high.
Janet always had our best interest at heart and never compromised on the home she knew was
out there for us. She never pushed us into a house that wasn’t right for us. Janet is extremely skilled at
writing offers to make our offer stand out and accepted as a competitive offer.
Once our offer got accepted this is where we put our trust fully in Janet
buyers, we had a challenge knowing the terms and language that home buying entails. Janet took the
time to walk us through each step and explaining each process every step of the way. We had some
challenges with our lender, but Janet kept professional the entire time.
Janet not only helped us get our house, but she was so supportive and helpful every step of the way.
I would highly recommend Janet to all of my friends and family.

Thank you again for all your hard work helping us with the negotiations and navigating the intricate paperwork and stepping stones toward home ownership. We never could have made it through without you!
