Realtor Intero Real Estate San Jose - Willow Glen 00605237
Offering personalized real estate service is more than a job with me, it's a tradition. My father was a real estate broker here in the valley for 20 years. I've followed in his footsteps. After working as an agent, I received my broker's license in 1981 and became a partner in the family brokerage. The experience I gained helped in providing exceptional service to my clients. In the years of 1988 through 1997 I was the top producing agent in my company and from 1993 through 1997 was pleased to achieve membership in the Summit Club. This honor is reserved for the top 5% of agents nationwide. I have also received numerous awards from Century 21, which I was a part of for over three years, earning Centurion honors in the years of 2000 through 2003. Having been associated with Intero Real Estate Services since 2004 has been a very positive experience, being awarded the Executive Circle Award several times. Although national and local recognition is certainly noteworthy, the finest honor I can receive is when my past clients refer me to their friends and relatives. This means I've earned their trust. When thinking about who should market your home, please remember "It may matter more who manages the sale of your home than who actually brings the buyer". Whether you are buying or selling a home, your objectives must be met, your desires fulfilled, and your expectations delivered. I understand that the first step toward reaching your objectives is learning what you want to accomplish, and so I will ask you questions. As you tell me what's right for you I will formulate a plan: one designed to translate what you want into what you receive. Step-by-step your dreams will become reality. There is no miracle involved: only hard work. I work hard to be better, and you deserve the best! Let me put my 42 years of experience to work for you. I want to be your real estate professional.

My husband and I met Joe over five years ago in search of temporary housing with our corporate realtor. He was extremely helpful throughout the experience and supported us before, during and after we left that home. Joe worked in our best interest to help us purchase another home using his team of associates and it was the easiest, most convenient process of home purchasing I have ever had. Because we have lived all over the USA, we have purchased 8 homes over the past three decades. We then sought Joe’s help to sell our home. The support was amazing. Joe helped us to understand the value of our home since we had added plenty of upgrades. He performed thorough market analysis, established a selling strategy with our input, stated in constant contact with us regularly and within a short time our home sold! Joe helped us with a smooth close and transition and still checks in. Coming from out of state we had so much to learn about California and home purchasing. I highly recommend Joe DaRosa for any home selling or home purchase needs. He exceeded our expectations!

Joe and Jennifer did an outstanding job selling our property in Willow Glen. They were always available to answer any questions. They were extremely knowledgeable with the details from the beginning through the closing process.
We would highly recommend Joe and Jennifer to be your agents.

Joe and Jennifer did a great job in helping us to evaluate the market, prepare our property, and guide us through the sales process to close. I highly recommend contacting Joe and Jennifer for your current and future real estate needs. Thank you.

Both Jennifer and Joseph DaRosa did a phenomenal job selling our home which resulted in a sale price over our asking. Their communication with us on-going was fast via text and email with all our questions immediately responded to. They certainly have a broad range of expertise. Their connections with inspections and a super home decor stager assisted in making our home the best. I would highly recommend the team for any of your real estate needs. Joe and Jennifer are fabulous!

Three words come to mind about Joe and Jennifer...1) Professional 2) knowledgeable 3) pro-active. With their years of experience, network of vendors we were able to get our condo on the market, sold and closed in 45 days! And a full price offer!

The housing market today is especially scary and being first time home buyers we were incredibly nervous to dive into the market and into the process. Joe and Jennifer were incredibly patient with us and helped guide us through every step of the way. We fully trusted them to navigate us through because of all of the knowledge and experience they have of the industry. Their expertise truly showed throughout our closing process and we honestly don’t think we would have gotten our house if it wasn’t for them! Joe and Jennifer went above and beyond for us. Who you work with really matters in todays market and I’d highly recommend Joe and Jennifer if you’re looking to purchase or sell your home!

Joe came to my attention because of his deep experience with my condo complex. He was helpful every step of the way. He was prompt in returning calls and texts. He found good people to do the various fixes and improvements for my unit. He was a calming presence when the stock market started to drift down and mortgage rates go up. I believe that he got me the best possible price considering the changed market conditions. I definitely recommend him.

Joe is such an institution in the Hamilton Place community that I didn't even bother to contact other agents when I was getting ready to sell my home - I knew that he would be better than anyone else. (In fact, he was the seller's agent when I originally purchased it over 15 years ago!) He provided a thorough analysis of the market, made great recommendations about how to prepare, and guided me on every step of the process through closing the sale. I trusted his input and was rewarded with fantastic results. He was quick to respond to questions and helpful throughout. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Willow Glen area. He and Jennifer are a dynamic duo!

Joseph went above and beyond in helping us sell our condo and find our new home for me and my family. As soon as we asked for his help he was on top of everything and made sure we were ready to go to list our condo. He was super responsive throughout the entire process and very communicative. As we searched for our new home he made sure it was the right fit for me and my family. He always had our best interest and made the process smooth and easy! He was also very punctual and flexible when it came to appointments which was very helpful since we have little ones.
It was a pleasure working with Joseph and Jennifer DaRosa!

After interviewing other real estate agents, I chose Joe DaRosa as our real estate agents to sell our property because of his outstanding marketing strategy, knowledge of the area and his experience in real estate. I took Joe's advice of the listing price, his sales strategy and took less than a week to sell the property. To sell the property, Joe gave me his candid recommendations to get the job done professionally and expeditiously. Joe always responded to my questions efficiently.

I am grateful for Joe DaRosa for selling our property at the best price we can get. Needless to say, Joe and Jennifer are great team in making process go smoothly. I highly recommend to talk to Joe if you are considering selling or purchasing your home -- I am glad that I did.

Sincerely,
Aiko Nishikawa

Joe and Jennifer were very helpful with the sell of our property. They were very well informed on the best way to present our property to get the best selling price. Joe helped coordinate the repairs, cleaning and everything need to get ready to show.
We were very pleased how things went and the final outcome.

I first used Joe in 1997 to purchase my townhome at Hamilton Place in San Jose. He did an outstanding job then so it was an easy choice for me to use him to market my property this summer. Joe and Jennifer did an outstanding job in listing and selling my condo to a highly qualified buyer. We had moved to Carmel several years ago and they made it easy and simple for me to communicate online with phone calls and texts to handle of all the paperwork related to the transaction. My unit sold within a week of listing for $20K over the asking price with a clean and simple 2 1/2 week close. I would highly recommend Joe and his daughter Jennifer to everyone.

Joe DaRosa listed and sold my townhouse in Hamilton Place Cottages and did a tremendous job. I had been renting out the home for 8 years and decided it was time to sell. I live out of state and due to Covid-19 have been unable to travel back to the Bay Area for several months. During the listing period a leak occurred causing some water damage to the new flooring I had just installed (it was ultimately determined to be the dishwasher). Since I could not be there, Joe made himself available to the team sent out by my homeowner’s insurance, and his extensive network of contractors were able to diagnose the problem and implement repairs very quickly. Joe’s professionalism and knowledge of the market is second to none. I highly recommend Joe and his daughter Jennifer.

Joe listed and sold a condo for us at 1600 Hamilton Place at Christmas time in the middle of a pandemic. Given all those obstacles, he was able to draw multiple offers the first day it was on the market, and it sold for 4.5% above the list price.

He is extremely knowledgeable about the market, advised us well and what improvements to make before putting the condo on the market and had outstanding connections with contractors to help complete the work. Not only is he personable, but he will make you feel like you are his only client. Joe was always there to answer phone calls - or return them immediately. I judge agents very critically because I am a recently-retired realtor from this area.

Joe is a first-class professional, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to work with a top-notch agent.

Joe DaRosa did a great job selling my home. I had been renting out my home and decided to sell. I was living out of state and due to covid-19 could not really travel to San Jose. Joe made the process very easy and kept me informed the whole time. He reviewed the property status and recommended what needed to be repaired or spruced up and helped line up people to complete the work. The sale went off without any glitches. One of the easiest home sales I have completed.

We have moved 10 times working for the airlines and have a good deal of experience dealing with realtors. Joe and his daughter Jennifer have been highly visible in our Hamilton Place complex in San Jose for decades. We enlisted the team to sell two properties. We couldn’t be more impressed. We expected a high level of professionalism but what we received was way more. Each and every time there was a fix needed, or painting, or cleaning, etc., they had the contacts. Their network of service providers all worked together to get the listings up quickly. What astounded me is Joe shows up for everything! He’s a born organizer and manager. Both our sales were quick and priced right. The team is a 13 on a scale of 1 to 10!

I first met Joe DaRosa in 1992, when I bought my condo in the Hamilton Place development, in San Jose. Joe was actually the seller’s agent. In late 2019, I bought a new home in the north Dallas, Texas area. In early 2020, I contacted Joe DaRosa about the sale of my San Jose condo. My plan was to move my stuff to Dallas, and then have the interior painted, and new carpeting installed. Joe suggested some additional upgrades, including wood flooring, refinishing the bath tub and counter tops in the bathrooms, plus some new plants for the patio. He had a number of quality vendors available to do the work. I agreed with Joe’s suggestions, and he and his daughter Jennifer were able to “project manage” the work. This was highly convenient for me, since I had already relocated. The finished work was excellent, and within a week of my condo being listed, I accepted an offer $35k over the listing price! So, I was entirely satisfied with the work Joe and his daughter Jennifer did in handling the sale of my Hamilton Place property.

Joe and Jennifer are "Hamilton Place Specialists" and understand the real estate market in our area. Joe is mentoring his daughter, Jennifer, in the process and she is a breath of fresh air. Joe's contacts made the fixup of our place easier than if we were trying to find contactors on our own. They were prompt in meeting our scheduling needs and completed the jobs as promised. Joe and Jennifer were present for each inspection and activity, always on time and ready to go.

Joe's reputation and enthusiasm are legendary and we were proud to have him represent us in the transaction.

Joe and Jennifer did a remarkable job. Our condo sold in 4 days! Joe was always available to help during the entire process, and made the whole experience easy on us. Will miss our daily conversations.. thank you again for your great professionalism. Great efficient Intero team.

From start to finish care, attention and action to guide us and handle all details in the very timely preparation and successful completion of our sale of the townhome we had held as a rental for some 38 years. And P. S., an excellent property manager of said property for the past 8 years.

My wife and I are very happy with the service we received from Joe DaRosa. When we moved from California to Massachusetts in 2017 and were looking for a property manager for our California house, our tax accountant recommended Joe, as he had been looking after homes for a number of her clients, over many years. He was very diligent, and found us an excellent tenant. He dealt with all the issues that came up very efficiently, making it easy for us to rent the property. When we decided to sell in 2019 for tax reasons, Joe acted as our agent. He worked hard to market the house, and coordinated with other agents in the area to determine a good price. Although the market was softening, we sold the house after about six weeks, for a reasonable price. Joe has been at this for a long time, and we benefited from his experience. We recommend him without hesitation.

Joe was the property manager, and then selling agent, on our San Jose property. As property manager, he was outstanding -- responsive, careful of both our and the tenants concerns, well-connected to contractors and service technicians, but willing to use ours where their knowledge could be helpful. He was also great as a selling agent -- he got the house listed quickly, coached us into lowering price appropriately, and helped us close quickly as well.
Apr 23, 2019
I cannot express how Joe and his agency worked so professionally, diligently, to sell my home. They walked me through the process, kept me informed, answered all questions, and made me feel so co.fortable to sell my home. We all get attached to our homes and they have lots of memories, but work I g with Joe eased any anxiety I may have had to let go and sell my jome. I am now off on a new adventure to establish another wonderful home. I highly recommend this professional, experienced, and caring real estate agent. 5 stars.
