Working with Jocelyn Woo at Harcourts Prime was the absolute best decision when my wife and I decided to purchase a property as a first-time home buyer. You could tell that her 20+ years of corporate experience in marketing and sales provides her an edge when it comes to negotiations, organization, and planning. Jocelyn was a joy to work with and was supportive at each and every step in the home-buying journey - every question we had was answered, all properties we wanted to visit were seen, and any obstacles that came up were tactically and tactfully overcome with ease. You could just tell with her demeanor and confidence that she knew her stuff - how the home market worked, the financial underpinnings, and the best calculated strategy for us to find our dream home. And indeed we found that exact home, even under the overall budget that we were looking for!
The most outstanding quality of Jocelyn as a realtor is her integrity - not only to her profession but to her family as well. That allowed us to trust Jocelyn in every step of the way and we are truly grateful for putting our faith and trust in her during this process. We never had to worry about any of the documents and contracts- it was all thoughtfully explained to us, her attention to detail and preparation every time we stepped into a potential home made the overall process enjoyable. We had such a positive experience working with Jocelyn buying a home that we have every intention of working with her again when the time comes for us to sell and find a future home for our growing family.

Jocelyn was an absolutely amazing realtor! My husband and I chose Jocelyn to help sell our home. From our first conversation until closing, she was our advocate. Jocelyn was constantly researching and analyzing the properties that were on the market so that we wouldn’t have any missteps when we listed our property. My husband and I were blown away by the many hours that Jocelyn poured into this research. Jocelyn provided us with professional and detailed proposals which included: Market analysis, pricing strategy, and a projected calendar of sale. Jocelyn’s listing tools are above and beyond anything we saw on Zillow or Redfin. Her listing tools for our home included: Professional photos, 3-D Virtual Tour, AND a very professional and beautifully created video tour! Jocelyn was there to advise and help us with her resources to prepare our home to go on the market. Once listed, her Open Houses were professionally executed with beautiful staging and informative handouts. There were literally crowds in our home! We sold our home after the first open house with a 14-day escrow which closed on time! Jocelyn stayed on top of every aspect of the transaction by maintaining excellent communication with us. If you are fortunate enough to have found Jocelyn to either buy or sell your home, it is a gift. I do not believe that it is possible for any realtor to do more, or to be more passionate that Jocelyn, and we give her our highest recommendation!

I will use 4 letters to describe my experience with Jocelyn - CARE. "C" for comfort. Jocelyn uniquely makes people comfortable. We were so comfortable with her in our first Zoom call that we already wanted her to be our agent. "A" for anticipation. She has the ability to anticipate our needs and our negotiation position before we articulate it out loud. "R" for relational. She treats her clients as friends and our relationship will last way beyond the closing of our deal. "E" for excellence. She is an excellent negotiator who can make both sides feel that it is a fair deal and she follows through with each detail. One last incident I want to mention. When I asked my housing inspector what he thought of Jocelyn, he said "Honesty". He described her as exhibiting a standard of integrity that is rare in this industry. I highly recommend Jocelyn as a "CARE" agent for you.

My husband and I were transferring back to CA from Arkansas due to my husband’s work transfer. We needed to find a home in the Coachella Valley area. This can typically be a stressful process. We chose Jocelyn Woo from Harcourts Prime Properties as our real estate agent. We have worked with several real estate agents in the past and this experience by far exceeds all the others. Jocelyn was extremely organized, took the time to get us very well researched information, was in constant communication with us, and gave us recommendations that were extremely beneficial. My husband is a veteran and though we can all be thankful for his service, this is not always a benefit when buying a home. Many sellers do not often like to take on VA loans due to delays in processing and scheduling inspections or appraisals. This was not the case with working with Jocelyn. Jocelyn took the extra steps to contact all of the people that would be involved and scheduled everything in record time. We were able to close on time with a VA loan with absolutely no issues. Jocelyn was always positive and was a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, dedication, and going above and beyond made this experience to find our forever home such a wonderful one. Choosing Jocelyn was the best decision my husband and I made. We were in incredible hands.

Working with Jocelyn was such a wonderful experience. She has a fantastic work ethic, is detail-oriented, and is an outstanding communicator. During our process, she was very attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to provide us with information that helped us understand our market and what we were going up against. She made this process easy for us. Once she understood what our needs were, she presented us with a plan on how and the possible timing of when we were going to get to our goal. She was honest with any obstacles we might face but always came up with optional solutions, if possible. After our Open House, she presented us with all our candidates and the necessary details, which made it seamless for us to move on to the next steps. We ended up selling our condo in 4 days! Jocelyn made us feel comfortable with every decision we made throughout the entire process. We never felt rushed. We always felt like she always had our best interest. She cares for all her clients and truly wants the best for them. We would highly recommend her as an agent. We can’t wait to work with her in buying our dream home!

Being a first-time home buyer at 55, and with current market conditions in SoCal, I was really overwhelmed with this process. Jocelyn explained everything to me in a way that was easy to understand. She spent a considerable amount of time up front building our plan around my budget, location, working with lenders, and every single aspect of an offer/contract and mortgage process. As we started to look at properties, I realized quickly that this pre-planning strategy put me in the best possible position as a buyer. While we looked, Jocelyn also educated me on certain aspects of a property that I should look for that would add value to me now, and in the future when I retire. Quite honestly, this is a stressful process in today’s market and Jocelyn was constantly available to discuss/advise every part of the home buying process. But more importantly, we built a plan that would guide us. I could not have had a better person standing beside me as I closed escrow on my first home. My new home has exceeded what I had expected, and I could not be happier. I cannot recommend Jocelyn Woo highly enough for her knowledge, professionalism, but also the way she treats her clients like family.

Having Jocelyn as the real estate agent for the recent sale of our home has been a singularly unique and enjoyable experience. In the past we have worked with over a half dozen realtors in selling both undeveloped land as well as residential properties. Jocelyn has truly distinguished herself from all the others. From the very start it was clear that we were privileged to be working with someone who always had our best interest in mind and would go the second mile to see that we always fully informed and in the best selling position. Jocelyn's years in the corporate world have given her great communication skills and her attention to detail assured that we were always informed on the status of the sale and upcoming needs. She was always full of suggestions on how best to proceed, yet always leaving the final decision to satisfy our wishes. It was assuring to know that we could always depend on her to obtain accurate and trustworthy answers to any of our questions in a very timely manner and that she operates with an integrity that gave us comfort that our best interest was always being kept in mind. In short, our entire experience was a delight and the stress that so often accompanies the marketing and sale of property, was simply absent.

Jocelyn's attention to details enabled our home to sell for $100,000 more than we had hoped for. This is the 4th home I have sold, and it was by far the smoothest and most efficient process of them all.
