John Jenkins - Compass Silicon Valley

John Jenkins was a big help throughout the process. He played an important role in coordinating between me, the seller, and the seller’s agent, which made things move more smoothly. He was responsive and stayed on top of communication, and I appreciated his support in getting everything across the finish line.

John Jenkins recently, helped us with the purchase of a new condo in a somewhat of a light ‘for sale market’. John was very patient with our decisions, as we were learning from our new experiences after renting property for the last 5 years.
John and his team took great care of us during the entire process each and every day including the final signing of documents. The team made us aware of what needed to be completed and did not apply any pressure for finishing (although we were on a tight schedule to be ready to move in less than 2 months).
The very talented team kept in touch all the way to the final signing. Each team member and their second in command gave us the help we needed at the correct moment. Explanations required were spot on which was very much appreciated.
Not being exposed to the world of real estate for a few years showed us how much things have changed and how the strict process needed the explanations provided, which were provided quickly and clearly all through the final signing.
Thank you John for everything….

John Jenkins is very extra amazing. He really knows the local real-estate business and how to make things work. I learned that John truly cares about the welfare of his clients and treats them like family.

I’ve known John for a couple decades and watched how he worked with my neighbors before choosing him to sell my condo in 2021. I was truly touched by how caring and helpful he was, because buying or selling homes in this county can be quite the challenge.

John coached us every step of the way and made things easy for us, from decluttering and staging, to filing complex listing forms, disclosures, and seller paperwork. He ensured we understood what we were doing.

I have to say, the brochures, website, and videos he produced for our home were stunningly attractive.

More recently, John helped us with the purchase of a new home and he was just as patient, helpful, and concerned for our welfare as before. (Even including expediting a projected remodel!) John and his team took great care of us during the entire process.

Teamwork: John has assembled a very caring and talented team of real-estate experts (mortgage officers, escrow officers, title officers). This made a complicated process proceed as smoothly as possible. Indeed our loan closed in a record of only 12 days!

I am truly grateful for the dedication, talent, knowledge, and kindness I experienced every step of the way.

Selling or buying real estate is quite the undertaking. It’s rare to find someone like John Jenkins who you can count on to handle things professionally, competently, and kindly.

John has been my go-to real estate resource for years — always helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to share great advice about the Silicon Valley market. He’s provided great referrals for home improvements and repairs and is always generous with his time and expertise!

John helped my family with the sale of my grandmother’s home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly understanding of the emotional weight this carried for all of us and handled everything with such care and professionalism. His guidance made the entire process feel smooth and manageable during a very emotional time. We’re so grateful for his support.

John Jenkins with Compass and the Connections Real Estate Team was fantastic—supportive, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Los Altos and Silicon Valley market. From the very beginning, he helped us thoughtfully prepare our home for market. He organized everything, simplified what felt overwhelming, and made the entire process feel calm and manageable.
What truly set John apart was how he listened to our needs and concerns, taking our personal goals into account when developing the strategy for our home. The marketing strategy from Compass and the Connections Real Estate Team was beyond impressive.
The presentation, exposure, and positioning of our home generated tremendous interest and multiple strong offers. John’s negotiation skills truly made the difference; he expertly navigated competing offers and ultimately secured a final sale price more than $750,000 over our asking price.
John went well beyond expectations by following through with support for our cross-country move. He coordinated seamlessly with the realtors we were working with to buy our new home and helped organize the entire timeframe for our move, ensuring a stress-free transition.
Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed every step of the way. We always felt guided, protected, and confident in the decisions we were making.
