Jenkins Realtors provide an exceptional experience in home buying and selling. The Jenkins family have sold three of our homes. All three of the sales happened in under two weeks!! The most recent sale (Mid December 2020) closed in 7 days! The day we listed our home we had two offers. When dealing with our agent (JoAnn McElfresh), she was professional and responsive, answering texts and phone calls very quickly. Our agent was very knowledgeable offering help with the staging of the home we sold and helping with remodeling ideas on our new home. Selling and buying a home can be overwhelming to say the least, but Jenkins Realtors help to make it an enjoyable experience. Thank you so much!! I highly recommend!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working JoAnn over five years ago when we purchased our home in Rensselaer. When it came time to sell our house we, once again, chose JoAnn to be our real estate agent. She has worked tirelessly on our behalf in a very difficult market. At last, we closed on the sale of our home and the credit goes to JoAnn. We are thankful to have gotten to know her professionally and personally and highly recommend her to anyone selling or purchasing a home.

JoAnn McElfresh is a sellers dream come true. She not only sold my home within days of listing with Jenkins Realty. She was able to guide me to the correct resources I needed to complete the sale of my home. Her professionalism and knowledge of real estate is truly an asset to the Rensselaer Community. The legacy of Jenkins Realty continues on with JoAnn. Her father, Larry, would be so proud....... .Connie Bailey
