About Jeanie Russell and Short Sale Specialist Team

Home ownership and investment in the Bay Area may seem like an unobtainable dream for a vast majority of residents who live here. I am a firm believer that there are good opportunities available if the client and agent are realistic, flexible, and persistent in obtaining their goals.

I am committed to making all transactions a positive and successful experience for my clients, whether you’re a first time homeowner/seller who may require more attention or an experienced investor who merely relies on me to execute without much guidance. I work hard for all my clients and adapt easily to various work style preferences.

I experience an immense personal and professional sense of accomplishment each and every time I assist my clients in finding, negotiating and ultimately, obtaining the home that will be one of the largest investments of their lifetime. I love the real estate business and thrive on working with great people, excellent agents, top-notch colleagues, and with a technically cutting edge innovative company that I take extreme pride in. I am ethical, honest, confident, and committed in what I aspire to do.

What Clients Are Saying About Jeanie Russell
 
 
“Thanks Jeanie, You made it happen and did all the great work for me….My part was easy.  Thanks so much for your patience and assistance.” – Henry
 
 
 
“Thank you for working hard to meet my…goals.  It means a lot to me to not have to worry…I appreciate all the advice and patience you’ve given to us.  Jeanie provided excellent customer service.  She communicated with us every step of the way and knew what we would like and not like.  She provided advice and guidance when we looked for it and made sure we were her priority during appointments… We trusted her expertise and knowledge completely…Mark and I were spoiled by your thorough communication and hand-holding…Thanks again for everything!” – Michelle and Mark
 
 
 
“We met Ms. Russell through the… website. She responded immediately with warm words of welcome and how she aims to assist us as prospective clients.  With such an approach, we were sold to her…Her presence and professionalism was plausible to how she portrayed herself via internet.  She was confident and not pushy; encouraging but not sappy; candid without being offensive and displayed a level of concern without forcing her views.  Ms. Russell possessed vast knowledge of the (Company’s) design, the real estate business and the areas in which we have selected to visit homes.  She displayed such expertise during each home visit.  It delighted us that she knows the local districts and their properties so well to present seemingly infinite information about the, which channeled our interested and navigated our home buying decision.  Along with a high level of professional ethics, Jeanie made sharing our house hunting woes with her very easy and comfortable to express.  She counteracted our frustrations and disappointments with facts of the real estate business and how to best approach upcoming decisions to possibly avoid more frustration.  Some aggravation she was not able to thwart, but she listened and supplied education with which we could better digest our exasperations.  She doesn’t sing swan songs nor does she perform serenades – she is honest about the business, give(s) precise answers to questions and severs emotion from commerce.  Ms. Russell is consistent and passionate about getting us the home that we desire.  We are confident with Jeanie’s approach and share her zealous energy within the process.  She has heightened the quality of our home buying experience.  We are extremely pleased with her service…”  Update:  “Tony and I are having a quiet evening admiring our home last night, recounting each phase we went through in obtaining it.  And of course you came up in how dynamic you were as an agent.  We were saying how we are going to invite you over as our first guest (when we get the proper furniture) ? Anyway the house is just grand.  The neighbors are wonderful. We are still trying to get use to the idea of “ownership.”  We get out some weekends and go to open houses to compare.  It is very rare that we find a home on the market that is as clean and well kept as hours.  We are so very happy!” 
- Anthony M. & Adrienne M. Smith

"We met Jeannie over 3 years ago when we were in the very uncertain stages of wanting to be homeowners.  Jeanie kept us in her tickler file, and never gave up on helping us achieve our dream.  After loosing touch for over a year, we re-connected with new vigor, and with our financing situation figured out with Jeannie's help we were home owners in a matter of months.  I must admit it was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and a lot less painful too.  As the famous saying goes...'If I only knew then, what I know now''... I wouldn't have waited so long, or paid so much in rent, a real waste of money!  Thanks Jeanie for your dedication, and we LOVE our new house!!! - Rachael
 
 
 
“I just spoke with Mr. and Mrs. Brulet and might I say that they are very much impressed with you and the services you have provided them thus far!  They had many wonderful things to say about you!” – Tina Lenderman, First Mortgage Loan Consultant
 
 
 
“Jeanie was very helpful.  She listened to our needs, and I felt that she tailored accordingly to our needs. Most importantly, I am grateful that she was able to make the process as easy as possible and kept us well informed of what to expect all throughout the home buying process.  I will definitely recommend any one who is looking to buy a home…Thanks a million.” – Buyer
 
 
 
“Hard worker, dependable and advocate for the client.  Prompt with answering phone calls at any hour.” – Buyer
 
 
 
“I was the listing agent of a property in Daly City and Jeanie presented a contingent offer in a multiple offer situation.  Similarly my clients were ready to move quite a distance away for job relocation.  There were a total of three offers, the other two were not contingent and the offers were all close.  Because of the positive manner in which Jeanie presents herself, the sellers, after our consultation made the decision to go with Jeanie and the offer she presented. Jeanie completed her commitments during the transaction in such a timely and professional manner that we even closed a couple of days earlier than expected.  I could not have had a smoother transaction even in a simpler situation.  She held it all together and the outcome was a win-win situation for all involved.  Jeanie and I worked so well together and such respect for the work ethic of one another then we have remained friends.  I think that probably could not be a higher recommendation – that she is not only a “get the job done” agent and a pleasure to work with professionally but a wonderful lady on a human level also.”
– Cheryl, Realtor Prudential California Realty

“There are no words that could describe how ecstatic we are about this entire experience, and of course, the new home has something to do with it. You are very special, and we could never have done all of this without your expertise.  You were amazing in keeping us focused (which we definitely needed), and you continue to make ‘buying shoes’ an easy task.
