- Traditional Listing & Selling Services: Unlike other realtors who rely solely on the MLS to market, my clients receive a customized buying or selling plan tailored to their type of sale and needs. I conduct extensive research and analysis on the area, the home value, and future market trends to help maximize the financial benefit.
- Relocation Services: For nearly 16 years, I have assisted families from all over the United States relocate to California. Moving across the country can be challenging for families and children. This is why strategic planning must be executed with precision, to ensure time-savings and cost-effi- ciency as the sales process advances.After conducting a thorough personal and financial client assessment, I prepare the family for im- mersion into the Orange County experience. Part of this process involves hosting client tours in various cities, and sharing our region’s identity and beautiful environmental landscape.
- Short Sale & Foreclosures: It is unfortunate when a family experiences a financial hardship. Often times, to correct the problem it requires large sums of money the homeowner does not possess. With my resources and financial strategies, I help the homeowner seek relief by negotiating longer sale dates so the client stay in the home longer, secure thousands of dollars in relocation money, and/or procuring a qualified buyer who will adhere to the terms of such a complex sale.

Jennifer was amazing and nothing short of a miracle worker. We went into contract 6.27.19 and I owned my home (keys in hand) 7.19.19. That is 25 calendar days and only 16 business days (not to mention over a holiday for 4th of July)!! My purchase also involved FHA financing with a lender that she had not worked with in the past. Jennifer was professional yet aggressive enough to make sure we were able to close on my desired move in date. I can't thank her enough for her work ethics, expertise, and dedication to me as her client. Jennifer is my angel warrior for real estate and I suggest you let her be yours!!
Jennifer sold our home in 2016. It was a very good experience so we had her represent us this year as we purchased a new home. Jennifer is the consummate real estate professional. She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of buying and selling real estate. We were very picky buyers but she showed tremendous patience and never pressured us to compromise on our wants or needs. There is no one we would rather have on our side in a real estate transaction than Jennifer.
Jennifer Castaneda is an honest, hardworking real estate professional who cares about her clients. Jennifer's real estate knowledge, experience and market resources were a tremendous asset in moving my family to South Orange County. I highly recommend Jennifer if you are buying or selling a home. I will be entrusting my next real estate transaction with Jennifer. It is my opinion that when you work with Jennifer Castaneda you are working with the Best of the Best.
We started working with Jennifer a couple of months before we relocated to Orange County. She spent time getting to know us and really listened to what we were looking for. She was attentive and responsive even a couple of months out. We had an opportunity to buy our first choice of houses after it fell out of escrow with another buyer. Jennifer was positive and optimistic throughout the process and we wouldn’t be moving in to our dream home without her advice and hard work. We highly recommend Jennifer!
We were so fortunate to have found Jennifer when we decided to move to So Cal. As our Realtor, she helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. She was patient as we traveled from Nor Cal to look at homes over several months and quickly learned what our needs were and what we were looking for. She was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Jennifer was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. We would recommend Jennifer to anyone.
Most personable, knowledgeable agent I have ever worked with. Highly recommend her to all my friends. She made it very easy to sell and purchase property. Jennifer goes over and beyond what is expected. If the need ever arises I will not hesitate to use her services again!
Jennifer is amazing! From the start Jennifer listened to everything we said and was upfront and honest. We were looking in a specific neighborhood and heard from friends that a home might be going up for sale. Jennifer tracked down the owners phone number and got us in to see the house before it went on the market. She negotiated for us to buy it the same week and turned around sold our existing home within a week of listing! The whole process was great. Jennifer was very helpful and supportive throughout it all. We will be recommending her to everyone we know.
Promises Made, Promises Kept! Jennifer made numerous emphatic statements regarding what she was going to do....and she delivered on them. Not only that, her calm demeanor and expertise guided us through what is normally an extremely stressful experience. Jennifer was with us all the way.
