Client Testimonials

"Janis, Now that we have completed the sale we want to thank you for all of your help. The first words that come to mind to describe you are quality, integrity, and professionalism.

Even though you came highly recommended by someone I trust, I admit that I was apprehensive, with almost everyone telling me to be careful. In this tough economy with a difficult property to sell, I was warned not to get my hopes up, that real estate agents are the same, a certain one can't make that much of a difference. Wrong.

Since working with you I find myself telling people - no you don't understand - I worked with this woman who is amazing.

We had not sold a property in California for many years and had no idea how much work would be entailed. You were faced with what wasn't a standard property with many complexities - a very old home with two parcels etc. You hung in there, found our buyer and worked us through it all. The paperwork volume you had to deal with seemed endless. You never complained, never gave up, and were always encouraging.

Janis - I was amazed how your caring and sweet manner contrasted with your tough, impressive negotiating abilities and understanding of the complex California law. You appear to have the knowledge of a lawyer, an advantage I guess of being the daughter of a lawyer. Your hobby as a photographer paid off as well - the photos you took showed our property in a light even I had never seen.

Even after the sale - spending your own money to have someone put together this 6 inch thick book with copies of all of the papers involved with the sale - wow! If we know someone who is in your market, we won't have to think for a second before we would recommend you highly.

As I think back on this experience, I am so grateful for your long distance "hand-holding" (California to New York) easing us through an emotionally and financially difficult experience. You made sure this all came out well.

Thank you, Jerry and Linda - Represented Sellers

"Janis is outstanding in every way. She helped us find our dream home taking us to countless homes on the way and listening to our wishes and concerns. She was never pushy, had great knowledge of the market, and was a wonderful partner in our decision making process. We couldn't have worked with a better agent and I highly recommend her to anyone. You'll be lucky to hire her!" -Marcia Represented in Purchase & Sale
Palo Alto


Jan did an awesome job selling our house and helping us buy another! She was always upbeat, enthusiastic, well informed, and responsive to all of our questions and requests. She knew how to protect our interests every step of the way. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a great experience in buying or selling property. -- Dodi and Jon” Represented in Sale and Purchase , San Anselmo


"Janis Grube represented me in the sale of my home.  She was professional and very organized.  She treated my home as if it were her home.  The open houses she held were well attended, she was informed about my home and could answer prospective buyer’s questions and most important she made everyone who visited my home feel welcome.  She is kind and considerate, her very presence helped reduce the stress of my home sale.  I trust her completely".   Terry - Represented Seller

"Extraordinarily personable and went above and beyond to ensure that all matters related to the real estate transaction were taken care of in a professional and efficient manner." Great Results, Personable, High Integrity -Jim , Represented Buyers
Los Altos Hills


Since purchasing property out of state: "We have closed on the ... house despite not having you :-( on the job. I don't know if you realize how good you are – but after now having dealt with other realtors more fully realize how luck we were to have you. I know I keep saying this but there is a very very marked difference."  Represented Sellers , Woodside

      “gMelt’s capabilities are ideal for how I manage data and information for my clients,” said Janis Friedenberg Grube, Broker Associate at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Woodside, California. In many cases, the file sizes are too big to send over e-mail. Rather than setting up FTP sites, I can simply upload the files to gMelt and securely share them. My clients can then download them at their convenience from anywhere. With the value pricing and upgrade capabilities within the app, this is a great way to manage my business the way I want to.”
