Selling a home is always stressful, but our agent, JoAnne Sckowska, and her assistant, Margie Valentine, were so competent and efficient that the whole process was seamless and, in many ways, even easy for us. We purchased our home in 2009 from JoAnne. She was so professional, patient, and easy to work with then. As time went by, she was always available to keep us informed and up to date. When we decided to sell our home, we never considered talking to any other agent because we already knew that JoAnne is just the best. Everything went very smoothly from staging our home to the showings to right through the closing. Throughout the process, Margie was there to assist JoAnne, and she did that very well. We were impressed with her “people” skills and her attention to detail. Together, they make a wonderful team. We recommend them highly. We would also recommend Michael Saunders as a real estate company. Everyone that we met from the company was friendly and competent. Our experience was just great!

What a pleasure to work with Jo-Anne Sckowska in guiding us in selling and buying our home, along with a smooth closing! She clearly explained all details and provided knowledgeable local market updates. What I truly appreciated was her willingness to meet with us at our home, so we did not have to always go to the office! She was amazingly professional guiding us, showing her honesty... but letting us make our own decisions. She is clearly one of the most knowledgeable and most enthusiastic realtors in Venice and the surrounding area. We highly recommend her expertise!

This is the second time we chose Jo-Anne as our realtor. Previously she helped us with the prolonged process of dealing with a short sale purchase and she worked hard to make it happen! This time when we sold, she was the voice of reason when it came to recommending the sales price. We didn't hesitate to take her advice and we sold right away. Thanks Jo-Anne! I highly recommend her:)

Over the years I’ve worked with several realtors on both sides of the equation; selling and buying. Based on my personal experience Jo-Anne Sckowska stands out as being the best. She is very responsive, understands the business and offers suggestions on how to make the deal work for all involved. But above all her integrity and honesty is what I valued most. You can’t go wrong with Jo-Anne. But you could go wrong without her representation.
