What our clients say
"Best realtor in San Diego! We used Janicke and her team to sell our home recently and they made it such an easy and pleasant experience. Sold our home within a weekend for above asking and what we were expecting! We were also under very tight timelines which Janicke did an amazing job managing. O… verall, extremely impressed with Janicke Swanson and Associates!"
"Janicke represented us on the buyer's side for a beautiful new home in Carmel Valley. We got in contact with her, put in an offer, subsequently a counter offer, and closed on the house all in LESS THAN A MONTH! She was very communicative during the entire process. Her knowledge of the area and the c… razy real estate market really showed! We also used the broker that she recommended. We couldn't have down it without Kathy's help on a 14-day escrow! Janicke has been a pleasure to work with throughout this entire process. Highly recommended."
"When you’ve met the right realtor, you just know. That’s how I felt after having to part ways with not one but two realtors during my relocation house hunt, and met Janicke—third time was the charm. I was relocating from Texas and had visited San Diego two dozen years ago, meaning I knew little to n… othing about the San Diego real estate market. I needed someone who was not only knowledgeable about the San Diego market (that had to be a given) but also not afraid to give me clear, direct advice without ulterior motives. I wasn’t looking for someone who would just open the lock boxes and expected me to do all the thinking and strategizing. The first two realtors assigned to me by the relocation company were just not delivering on those requirements. So after hearing two separate recommendations for Janicke from my colleagues, I had to give it a chance even though I really didn’t want to change realtors twice. But boy am I glad that I did! Janicke delivered on everything I was looking for and more. She was super responsive, gave me the direct, clear advice I needed without beating around the bush, and ensured that everything was coordinated smoothly between the seller, title company, inspectors, and lender. Even after the closing, she didn’t disappear into the thin air. She followed up regularly to make sure I was settling in okay, recommended trusted contractor, electrician, and plumber, and escalated my concerns to the home warranty company when they were ignoring my requests. House hunting and moving is stressful, especially when you’re moving to a town unknown. Having Janicke by our side made it as less stressful as possible. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a good realtor."
"Janicke is a very experienced, creative and proactive agent who guides and partners with you through the entire process. She most recently listed and sold two of our properties in San Diego. She meticulously prepped the condos, advising us on upgrades needed, staging, and marketing. Her successfu… l first weekend open houses resulted in multiple offers and both properties sold quickly and much over asking.
Throughout the years we have partnered with her on a number of transactions, both selling and buying properties. Other family members and friends have also utilized her and have similar impressions. She truly differentiates herself through her savvy knowledge of the market, timing and consistent, proactive communication. We recommend her in the highest regards!

"Janicke was very patient and professional throughout the whole process. We are first time buyers with many questions, and her 20+ years real estate experience has made the whole process much easier and made us feel at ease. She is very honest about the properties we were viewing and never rushed us … into making a decision. She really has our best interest in mind. She’s good at communicating and negotiating with the listing agent. We beat multiple offers and got our dream home in a short period of time. We would highly recommended working with her."
"I had the best experience working with Janicke Swanson! She is incredibly professional, hard working, and kind. She sold my condo in Carmel Valley/Del Mar for over asking price! We closed in less than 30 days, even with a fairly significant issue I had to work with my HOA on. Janicke helped in every… way possible, even with this HOA situation that had nothing to do with the sale and she did not need to help with at all. She provided great ideas for prepping and remodeling my condo and put me in touch with exceptional contractors before we went on the market. She also orchestrated every detail from bathroom remodel, staging, to cleaning, etc. Janicke is an amazing balance of professional and personable. She worked to get the best sales price and deal for me while being fair and good to the buyer. This is my second time working with Janicke and I will do it again if I buy or sell another property!"
"Janicke recently helped me, and my fiancé purchase our first home. Let me say this, do not underestimate her experience in this industry. At first, it felt like I was working with a typical SALES rep, but that is not the case with Janicke. She has been doing this for years, and very quickly, my fian… cé and I saw that experience at work. We truly felt like we were working with a friend who was going to go to war for us. San Diego is an aggressive market, and since we weren't cash buyers, we needed a competitive edge. Janicke was our solution, she made it happen for us. She was honest and personable. If I had questions, she had answers. Even after the home was sold, she reached out just to check in and see how it's going. I appreciate her as realtor, as well as a kind and caring human. Thank you, Janicke!"
"I've got to give a big shoutout to Janicke Swanson for the awesome experience they provided when my clients moved from Philly to La Jolla. Being a fellow real estate agent, I know how tricky cross-country moves can be, but working with these guys was an absolute breeze.
Right off the bat, their pro… fessionalism was on point. They kept things crystal clear and totally upfront, which immediately clicked with my clients and calmed their moving jitters.
But here's where they really nailed it: their know-how in both markets. Janicke seriously aced the La Jolla real estate scene, schooling my clients on neighborhoods, market vibes, and property values. My clients made some super confident decisions. These guys are the real deal, bringing a whole new level of awesome to the real estate game. Kudos!"
"We recently had the opportunity to work via a referral with Janicke Swanson and Associates and could not have been more pleased. Working Agent to Agent the staff is incredibly professional and our Clients have nothing but positive comments thanking us for putting the them in touch. A special thank… you to Kasey Plouffe who went over and above to assist me with an office to office item.
You cannot go wrong, you will be in good hands should you elect to work with Janicke Swanson and Associates on your next purchase or sale of a home.
