Jennie was friendly, approachable, helpful and knowledgeable about the home buying process. She answered all our questions and was helpful with our move from out of state. She seemed interested in us and our kids and helping us get what we want.
We would recommend Jennie to others.

We are writing to applaud Jennie Manders whose warm, accessible and collaborative persona with years of knowledge, experience and insights make her an outstandingly rare and exceptional realtor. Jennie radiates positive energy, confidence, experience and an ebullient spirit that immediately gives you the confidence that she knows what she is doing and is the right person to guide you on what will be the most important decision of your life.
We speak from personal experience. Jennie carefully guided us through the sale of one home and the subsequent search and purchase of another home. Through the process, undertaken in the midst of the worse pandemic in a century, Jennie was focused, resourceful, agile and tenacious. She, and the assistants she directed, guided us through the complexity of numerous forms and documents that had to be filled out, making sure that we understand each one and offering advice and counsel when we had questions. She outlined what the process ahead of us would be like and was wonderful at being honest and forthright in addressing our fears and concerns and reassuring us by finding prompt answers to our questions and offering insightful and resourceful advice.
Her years of experience inform the advice she gives to clients and the decisions she makes on their behalf. Adding to Jennies strength is the array of exceptional staff with which she surrounds herself. Her outreach to a support staff of experienced contractors, painters, flooring experts, cleaning and landscaping personnel reflect years of experience in how to get things done. She was particularly brilliant and skillful at maneuvering us through the many steps of putting our home on the market, finding an appropriate buyer, negotiating a great deal and attending to all the details to make the sale of our home a reality.
When it came to finding a new home, Jennie was equally resourceful and persistent. She provided us with regular updates of homes on the market, arranged for viewings, provided background on each home and neighborhood we visited and was continually making sure we were making the right decision for a home with which we would be satisfied. Once we had selected a home, Jennie made sure that our backs were covered by guiding and supervising the inspections of the new home, strategizing with us on our offer, and guiding us through delicate negotiations, and offering resourceful ways of dealing with the many issues that came up that might threaten the successful purchase of the home.
In sum, we feel lucky to have had Jennie as our realtor. Shes the best!

Working with Jennie was great
We acquired the type of home we wanted in a tight market under the shadow of COVID within a suitable timeframe.
I have worked with Jennie Manders on all of my real estate transactions in almost the last 30 years as a sellers agent as well as the buyers agent. In all of those transactions, she was always committed, service-oriented, resourceful, knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional, and personable.
On the latest real estate sale transaction experience, she confirmed my trust and actually showed me the above and beyond performance. With Covid-19 restrictions, we had a lot of challenges with marketing and showing of the property. She was on top of all government requirements and kept up any necessary real estate protocols to keep the safety of myself, potential buyers as well as anyone who may be coming to the property. As she has shown in all of prior transaction experiences, she was once again an exceptional agent of overseeing the real estate transaction process from the beginning to the end. She made sure her team was always available to assist and handle any potential issues before they turn into any problems. In addition, representing both sellers and buyers sometimes may be a challenging situation. However, Jennie and her team handled this situation professionally and with honesty.
Jennie Manders and her team are just great people to work with!
I have known Jennie for many years and have seen her in action. I knew when the time came to sell my home that she would be the broker to handle it.
Jennie and The Home Team are real professionals. They really listened to me and what I wanted. They were able to recommend trades people that were also professional. Having a great team made the home selling process go with minimum hiccups.
When the time comes for another real estate deal I know who I will be working with again. Thank You Jennie and The Home Team.
Jennie and her team are a pleasure to work with. True professionals in real estate gave us the best advice and looked out for our best interest as clients. She recommended us to do inspections even though we had waived them. We closed escrow during the holidays in less than 15 days. Thanks again Jennie
I have long valued Jennie for her extensive knowledge of real estate and it's process. This transaction was unique as it dealt with my mother, which meant everything was magnified. Through it all Jennie and her team were patient and thorough and she was extremely pleased.
We found Jennie Manders over 10 years ago when looking for a new home. At that time we had another realtor that wasn't able to sell our home. We switched to Jennie and after 60-70 potential buyers toured the first open house, the house sold immediately. Over the years, Jennie and her staff helped us with numerous rentals until we were finally ready to buy. Jennie helped us explore options such as location and size for our new home. In the end she helped us come to the decision and to land a home in our desired and popular neighborhood at a great price.

The latest transaction with Jennie was my 3rd with her. As with the others, she was proactive, aggressive, knowledgable, and patient. In the years between transactions, she updated her sales strategies to match the technology and trends of the times, and that resulted in a good sale in a market that was starting to change. I appreciate Jennie and Alan, and will work with them again next time I am in the market.
I saw Jennie Manders' ad in a local newspaper, the Glendale News Press, in 2006 when we were getting ready to sell our house. She stood head and shoulders above the competition--and still does, especially considering the increasingly complex knowledge required of realtors.
Jennie and her team never became frazzled by all the requirements and deadlines that would have made me want to hide under the covers. And with a smile!
Jennie had to coordinate both the selling of my condo and purchasing this home, and she and her team excelled at coordinating everything perfectly, including my new mortgage loan--a major feat! It all went seamlessly.
I've had experiences with other real estate brokers over the course of 40 years, and it's clear to me that Jennie has the knowledge, understanding, and resources--including empathy for all the psychological stress that we buyers and sellers go through--that others, unfortunately, lacked.
Andrew Tanber and Alex Garcia, Glendale, a seller from Claremont, CA
Jennie Manders provides best in class service, support and guidance in the buying and selling process. She has extensive market knowledge, contacts and understands how to maximize the process. She has amazing energy and passion for her work. We have worked with Jennie twice over a five year period and will definitely do so again in the future. Most importantly, she is a wonderful, kind and caring person who we trust, respect and admire greatly.
My wife (since deceased) and I have used Jennie Manders since she sold a house for us in 2006. I remember I was looking at ads for agents at the time, and her competence and intelligence shone through. It was an easy choice. This is the fourth property she's been involved with for me on the selling and buying end, and I couldn't be more pleased.
Jennie is, indeed, the best realtor in the world! My "Excellent" ratings for her don't begin to describe how wonderful Jennie and her team handled EVERY aspect of this sale. They are true masters of the art. In fact, Jennie could well be a psychologist, because she empathized completely with all my concerns and offered gentle advice to improve my frazzled moods. Kudos!
As usual, I was ecstatic with the results. The condo sold in LESS than a week. It was priced perfectly to induce serious buyers. There were 6 offers, and ultimately I was the recipient of $80K more than the listed price. Superb pre-listing marketing plan, which reached some 14,000 targeted recipients, and the open houses were packed. In the meantime, similar condos down the street languished for months.
In today's world of increasingly complex real estate paperwork requirements here in California, I can't imagine a better experience. Jennie and her team are so knowledgeable!
Alan Dias, Deana Turner, and mortgage broker Brenda Montgomery worked seamlessly with Jennie in all aspects of the sale. Everyone was on the same page, and shared Jennie's enthusiasm, professionalism and empathy.
Sean and Kumiko, Glendale, a buyer from Glendale, CA
Jennie was fantastic and helped us confidently navigate our first home purchase! We asked Jennie to represent us as a dual agent on a home where she was the listing agent. Throughout the process, I felt comfortable that Jennie was faithfully representing my wife and I as a buyer, and she always gave us sound advice putting on her
"buyer's agent" cap. I truly believe that we may not have successfully offered and closed on our first home purchase without her assistance as our agent.
Jennie and her team are responsive, patient and knowledgeable, and they continue to assist us even after closing, such as putting us in touch with trusted repairmen and other service providers. That shows that she and her team truly value our satisfaction as home buyers and the importance she places on our relationship.
Jennie was smart, knowledgeable and extremely savvy in the La Canada market. Due to family illness, we had to postpone the sale Id the home bur through it all we were taken care of and knew that Jennie would be there for us when we finally were able to sell. We would recommend Jennie and her team, without hesitation, to anyone who asks us. Thank you for a successful sale.
Jennie (& her team) were a pleasure to work with. They were nice, friendly, knowledgeable, & made themselves available to me when I needed their help. I can't say enough good things about their help through the recent purchase of my new home. I'm looking forward to working with Jennie Manders and her team in the future.
Jennie Manders exceeded all our expectations in assisting us with the sale of our property! She was patient in helping us understand and navigate the complexities of selling a property in California.
The staff of Dilbeck were incredibly supportive and provided constant communication regarding all aspects of the progress of the sale.
Shea Allen, La Crescenta, a seller from Glendale, CA
I knew Jennie and had referred clients to her before ever working with her personally. Now, after hiring her to sell my home, I will tell everyone I know that they HAVE to hire Jennie to sell their home! Jennie went above and beyond my expectations. She was extremely knowledgeable, which came in handy when issues came up. I was anxious about the whole process and wanted to sell my home quickly. Jennie was professional, patient and reassuring throughout the entire process. They moved quickly in marketing my home and pulled out all the stops. Even after it sold, she kept asking me if I needed help with anything, including my move. She is well connected in the community and provided me with good contacts including cleaners, a moving company, air conditioner companies, termite companies, etc. She also has a fabulous team that executed everything in a timely manner.
In addition, the clients that we have referred to her have all reported back to us how happy they have been working with her. I can't recommend Jennie Manders highly enough!
There were difficulties with the seller that Jennie handled professionally and kept us aware of all of the issues involved which was so helpful to us in making critical decisions in order to complete the sale.
We were relocating from New York City and had little knowledge of the Pasadena market .
Buying real estate in a new community is naturally extra stressful and Jenny understood our needs and made it as smooth as possible.
Joann Schellenbach, Pasadena CA, a buyer from Pasadena, CA
Jennie Manders handled every aspect of our search and purchase in an outstanding and highly professional manner. Looking for a place to live in a community that is new to us could have been much more stressful without her knowledge, attention to detail and above all, her supportive and understanding attitude.
Maureen Lennon John, Jekyll Island GA, a seller from Pasadena, CA
We had owned our home for 25 years and thought the prospect of selling it was overwhelming. Jennie Manders and her team demystified the process and were accessible and helpful throughout. Her local knowledge of the markets and trends resulted in our listing our home at the right price to sell quickly --which was an objective of ours. She gently guided us though the staging and preparation of the house for photos and marketing and her team was first-rate at every step. Jennie was accessible and timely in all communications in response to our inquiries. We were happy to receive multiple offers and sell over our list price. I would recommend jennie Manders and her team to anyone thinking of listing their home. We appreciate everything the team did on our behalf. Over and above what was required and expected, Jennie and her team helped us out in numerous ways in a trying time. Thanks! 2018
