deasy penner & seffker – john seffker

John Seffker is by far the kindest, smartest, most patient, thorough and professional real estate broker I have ever worked with.
He didn’t just sell our home, he educated us as well. We’d interviewed other realtors before calling John, whom we’d met years before when he was selling our neighbor’s home.
We were concerned with the numbers we were hearing from one realtor, and the same realtor forgot to include our permitted addition in the home size when doing estimates (it wasn’t a large home to begin with). So we decided to call John.
Best decision we ever made. The for sale sign had barely touched the ground before we received the first offer. We ended up accepting that offer. We sold for $ 90,000 more than another realtor had estimated we could get in a best-​case scenario. It literally pays to do some research on the broker/​agent you are considering, and then you should hire John Seffker!

«Let me do my job.» These words were kindly given to us last fall, as my wife, myself, and our anticipation sat with Mr. Seffker reviewing the day we spent touring Granada Hills for our first home. Prior to meeting Mr. Seffker, my wife and I met with several different realtors all with whom we found ourselves repeatedly misinformed, misguided, and misunderstood. Being first time buyers, the process of purchasing a new home was both foreign and overwhelming to us. However, Mr. Seffker walked us though each and every step of the way, holding our hands (at times very literally), which allowed us to survive the weeks that followed. He was extraordinarily patient, responsive, and conscientious. He was diligent and thoughtful and kept an ongoing, open line of communication with everyone involved in the process. He always encouraged us to make our own decisions and was cautious not to steer us in any one particular direction, so there was never any pressure or obligation. Numerous questions about brokers, movers, inspectors, contractors and even designers were answered knowingly with: «I have someone who can help you with that» and every referral we used was outstanding. Admittedly, my wife has a tendency to be somewhat worrisome, but with his knowledge, experience, and character, Mr. Seffker provided her with reassurance and confidence. While I don’t consider us pessimists, we never would have imagined in a million years that we would have found such an amazing home our first time buying. So please, take the words that were given to us and let him do his job. You will be so absolutely thrilled you did!
