"I worked with Gwen on the purchase of an investment property and could not have been happier with the experience. Gwen is extremely diligent and goes out of her way to really understand the needs of her customer. Highly recommend her and I would not hesitate to work with her again myself." - Michael

"I have known Gwen and throughout the years I have often observed her professionalism, honesty, expertise and relentless desire to do well for her clients. It was an easy choice to turn to Gwen when we wanted to buy and sell two investment properties. Most recently, Gwen helped us find representation in MA where we owned a beach house that we wanted to sell. After extensive research and interviewing, Gwen identified the perfect agent to represent us in the sale of our MA beach house. I turned to Gwen several times during the course of the transaction and she gave us invaluable advice resulting in a quick sale and a higher net profit than we expected! We had a similar experience with Gwen when we purchased a home in Florida as an investment property. I would whole heartedly recommend Gwen for all your real estate needs. She is truly an exceptional agent." - Nancy

"When we began house hunting, I was eager to move forward quickly. I got a referral for Gwen Janicki from someone I work with who had had a terrific experience buying and selling a house with her.
Gwen quickly keyed into and matched our sense of urgency. My husband and I both have busy schedules and she made herself available to us on weekends which is really the only time we had available.
We went house hunting with Gwen on our first Saturday together. The next day, we got a call from Gwen who was working an open house in Penn Valley. She said I think you need to see this house – it might be perfect for you. We came right over and loved the house, but we couldn’t quite believe that we would find the right house within the first two days.
We toured other homes with Gwen for the next four weeks, but we kept coming back to the house. We went back three or four times and loved it more each time. Luckily it stayed on the market as it happened to be a spring with a great deal of inventory.
Gwen knows the Main Line so she was able to rule out homes there was no point in us seeing. Gwen focused on our needs as a family, including the criteria we had for my mother who lives with us. She was incredibly judicious with our time, making sure that we stayed on schedule but had enough time in each home. We enjoyed her company and really looked forward to seeing her each weekend. She was great with my son who was quite young at the time.
It was a pretty incredible experience. Gwen made it relatively painless even though buying a house can be a stressful process. She was also a consummate professional guiding us through the process of both buying and selling. I will forever be grateful to Gwen. - Kristen

"Gwen helped my husband and I buy our first home. We met her at a showing of one of the many houses we decided to check out and immediately gravitated to her unlike any other realtor we had met. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with all of the tools and resources necessary to understand the housing market.
As first-time home buyers we had many questions and she was able to provide very clear and concise answers that we were able to understand having very limited real estate knowledge ourselves. She was very patient with us and by the time we settled she had become practically a member of our family. For any issues that arose during the buying process, Gwen went to bat in our honor and represented our wishes and values. She made sure every loose end was tied and even checks in with us now that we are situated and moved into our new home.
I cannot say enough kind things about Gwen after all she has done for us. I will recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!" - Rachel

"Being new to the area and not knowing any real estate agents, we chose Gwen based solely on online reviews, and they did not lead us astray. Gwen found us the perfect home, in the perfect location, in a tough seller’s market. We wanted to act quickly so that we could be settled before starting our new jobs, but there was almost nothing on the market that met our criteria and those homes that did went quickly. Gwen spent her first day with us showing us houses that we had identified online as being of interest. Most of them were okay, but none were perfect for us. Our second day together, Gwen surprised us by taking us to a house that was not on our list because it had not yet been put on the market. The house was wonderful. Gwen had listened to everything we wanted and found us the perfect house. Although late in the day on a Sunday, Gwen went back to the office to put together our offer and worked throughout the evening to facilitate getting our offer accepted. We were thrilled when she called us at 10:30 pm to tell us that the sellers had accepted our offer. Since buying our house Gwen has been a wonderful resource for information on the area and various service providers. We are always happy when we hire the individuals she recommends." - Brad
