My parents recently relocated to an assisted living facility and we needed to sell their home of 40 years. Jocelyn was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. She priced the house just right and it sold in one day for more than the asking price. She was right on top of every negotiation and we took every bit of her advice which was always spot on. She went above and beyond having to make several trips for signings, etc. since my parents no longer drive. I highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone needing a realtor. 5 stars and then some! Thanks again Jocelyn for making a difficult move so much easier.
Jocelyn is amazing to work with. She is very professional and looks out for her client needs and wants.
Jocelyn and her amazing team were incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable! I recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
The Senior advisor who helped me find my next home in a Senior Living Community connected me with other advisors who could help me with my move. Jocelyn was recommended to help with the sale of my current home. She was understanding, knowledgeable, and connected with my adult children to make my sale smooth and without stress as I completed documents and dealt with other businesses connected with the sale of property, I am looking forward to the next phase of my life.
Jocelyn is amazing. Having never purchased a home in California and relocating from the East Coast we were not familiar with the home purchasing process in California. She really listened to what we were looking for in a home. She truly held our hand through the entire process and gave us piece of mind that I had never experienced before with purchasing real estate. Lots of personal touches that help to make you feel comfortable. We never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision in a very competitive market. I have already recommended her to a couple of people that I have met who are in the market for a new home.
Wish I could give them 10 stars. From start to finish they were extremely helpful and always so nice! Great team who made the home buying experience pretty painless. This was our 27th home so we have dealt with a lot of realtors. Sonya and Jocelyn made this transaction one of the easiest we have ever had!
Jocelyn helped us find the home we wanted, in an area we were unfamiliar with. She is professional, nice, and gets things done. I’d recommend her to anyone
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Realtor Joselyn Dunham for her outstanding efforts on my behalf in a recently enacted real estate transaction in Oceanside. She recently acted as my real estate representative in securing a very desirable home for me. What made her efforts particularly unique was that at the time I was a resident of the state of Washington while she negotiated my Oceanside home purchase.
Several months previous I had met with Jocelyn in my initial search for a Southern California home. From this encounter she was able to discern the particular features of a home that were important to me in order to enact and conclude a successful purchase.
Several other individuals competed to purchase my Oceanside home but her knowledgeable transaction skills enabled my offer to be the eventual successful winning bid.
After the purchase she was invaluable to me to provide the necessary recommendations for insurance coverage of the property and skilled labor recommendations for minor repairs to the dwelling.
If you desire to either buy or sell real estate in the greater San Diego area, your representation by Ms. Dunham cannot be surpassed.

Sonya was everything a real estate agent should be pleasant, attentive, detail-oriented, highly available, pragmatic and adaptable. She went out of her way to accommodate our needs and our schedules, which are challenging, and made the whole stressful experience less stressful and more enjoyable. Sonya also had great follow-up, which is important in every profession but crucial in real estate. She also gave us great referrals for reliable home professionals.
The whole experience took less time and effort than anticipated, and Sonya capped it all with our first house-warming gift, a truly touching and wonderful gesture.
No matter how tough things got you never gave up on us. You were always very professional and tried to assure us that everything would work out. I'm sure that this was also very stressful for you too, but you never showed it. And for that we thank you.
Jocelyn and Sonya continued to search for the perfect property and never gave up until we found IT. Sonya brought us flowers, snacks for the morning of move in and food for the day so we wouldn't have to leave they blew us away with their kindness. If all your realtors were as good as they, are you would never want for clients.
Let me start off by saying I am a particularly picky individual when it comes to services. That being said, I have purchased a home before and have worked with many realtors in my past (buyers/sellers) and none compared to Jocelyn. Her real-estate acumen, honesty, integrity is unmatched by any in the profession. There was one scenario where I found the home of my dreams and Jocelyn actually talked me out of it (possibly costing her a sale) because she didn't feel it was the right place for me. She was correct. Jocelyn showed me 30+ properties over the course of 2 years. When I met Jocelyn, she recognized I was not yet finding the property I wanted, so she recommended and helped me rent for another year before getting back into the market. Who does that? On the actual sale, we put in an offer on the house we finally decided would be perfect for our family, but the seller went with a cash offer instead. That offer ended up falling through and Jocelyn immediately called me that evening and had our offer resubmitted within an hour. In that time, two higher offers came through and Jocelyn still managed to get our offer accepted. Jocelyn was the friendliest realtor; she never put any pressure and treated my money as if it were her own. She was very responsive via text/email/phone. I probably would have just kept on renting if it weren't for Jocelyn. She is awesome and she ought to be the mold that all other realtors are created from. You rock J. Lastly; she gave me the greatest house-warming gift ever. I've already referred two of my close friends.
We loved Jocelyn!! This was our first home-buying experience, so we had a lot of questions, a lot of nerves, and needed to be walked through every step of the process. Jocelyn was so great explaining everything to us and was so patient with all our questions. She was quick to answer emails and phone calls, and always offered the reassurance two first time home buyers need when things didn't seem to be going our way. We are so pleased with where we ended up and glad that we had Jocelyn to guide us here.
You really cared about finding a home that we would be happy with. You were very knowledgeable and always had our back. The real estate market here is very different than where we came from, and you helped us navigate it well. Thanks!
Jocelyn and Sonya both were excellent to work with. They were very attentive to any questions or concerns we had and answered us in a timely manner. They also kept us up to date with what was happening. They are both very personable and professional. I would highly recommend them.
It was very satisfying working with Sonya and Jocelyn to find a house. We looked at a fair number over more than two months with only limited interest on my part until finding what I wanted. Sonya, who guided the tours, was sincerely understanding and upbeat, showing no impatience over lack of interest with various houses. She said you'll know it when you see it, and she would too. She gave good advice on a bid price. I recommend her and Jocelyn unreservedly.
5 Stars --- We visited close to 50 homes in Ocean Hills and made two offers with the constant availability and attentive support from the Terrific Twosome Team of Sonya and Jocelyn. Sonya constructed an offer that was accepted that fit our budget and both Sonya and Jocelyn kicked into high gear to coordinate a comprehensive approach to the paperwork associated with the successful closing. They provided a superior level of service with patience, kindness, and savvy expertise.
My experience as a seller with Sonya and Jocelyn was a fantastic one. They have been very helpful in explaining everything to me. Since I do not drive, Jocelyn accompanied me to the Escrow Co to sign papers. Escrow went very smoothly thanks to Sonya and Jocelyn's excellent service. Thank you so very much! I would highly recommend them to buyers or sellers.
Sonya and Jocelyn were wonderful to work with and made my house buying experience as good as it could be. Sonya in particular was instrumental in keeping the process moving forward and provided me contacts for mortgage information, and other groups I needed to interact with to complete the house buying process. I was able to complete the paperwork for the house purchase thanks to Sonya's diligent effort to keep the process moving and she was instrumental in the buying process.
Thank you so much for hosting an open house yesterday. I have my fingers crossed that we get an offer. I appreciate so much what you've done already to get me into my "dream house" at Emerald Lake and I look forward to working with you to get my Escondido house sold.
Jocelyn and Sonya helped me to choose the perfect community where I look forward to living soon. They guided me and my family through the process of buying the property and were always there to help and advice along the way. High marks to this team.
Jocelyn and Sonya are an amazing Real Estate Team! Their professionalism and knowledge of the industry is incomparable. Whether you need a quick answer or a lengthy discussion, they rapidly respond. It has been my extreme pleasure to work with Jocelyn and Sonya and I highly recommend them.
Excellent!! We started with Sonya in July 2018 and closed on our home in OHCC in July 2019.Her patience, persistence, and care were fabulous. We moved from the East Coast, so Sonya met many times with our Daughter and Son-in-Law to find our home. The time, diligence, and care were exactly what we needed. Jocelyn was also wonderful - she enabled us to get all documents electronically which made a 2500 mile move much easier. We have already recommended both and will continue. Thx!!!
My wife and I were so fortunate to have Jocelyn and Sonya represent us with the purchase of our new home. Both Jocelyn and Sonya are the ultimate professionals, and they were just awesome throughout the entire process. Selling and buying a house at the same time is very stressful and they just made it easy for us by handling all the little things and the details of the entire transaction. Thank you for getting us into our dream home, you're both amazing at what you do!
Jocelyn and Sonya were both very professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process, and I would heartily recommend them to anyone needing a Realtor!!!!!
Sold my condo in 5 days! They have been extremely easy to work with, very responsive, and extremely professional. They are also helping me purchase a new home and words cannot describe how grateful I am to have them representing me. They are fast, smart, professional and have the best advice! You just can't go wrong using this team to buy or sell a home.
I would highly recommend you & your agency to anyone needing help in buying or selling a home. You were on top of everything during the purchase of my home in Oceanside.
Jocelyn and Sonya did a great job helping sell our home and finding one which really fit our needs They took care of all the details, and all went very smoothly. We recommend them to anyone who needs to buy or sell a home.
We had the best experience buying a house that we ever had. Jocelyn and Sonya were outstanding. They responded to our requests quickly and fully answered our questions. They quickly recognized our interests and responded with listings that did so. As a result, our time was spent productively. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wished to ask for our feedback
Absolutely flawless. Being a business owner the last thing I had was time. Jocelyn and Sonya took complete control and sold my property at full asking price during Covid within 30 days. No other realtor could do that after months on the market. Will always use them for future. Thank you so much team for the great job.
Jocelyn and her team did an outstanding job in marketing and selling my moms home. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the real estate business, and efforts in keeping buyers on track resulted in selling the house on a timely basis. I would strongly recommend her if you’re looking for a true professional.
We are new to the area and contacted Jocelyn from a realtor sign. Both Jocelyn and Sonya were awesome! The communication was top notch, and they did whatever they could to accommodate us in looking for our home. We would use them again should the occasion arise and would recommend them to anyone looking for a home.
We love Jocelyn and Sonya! They sold my parents their house and from my parents experience I knew we would want to work with them again. They’re both so on top of it, so positive, so detail oriented, and so kind. Throughout this whole process my husband and I kept saying “thank goodness we have Jocelyn and Sonya.” I can’t say enough good things or recommend enough. We got our dream house in Carlsbad near the beach thanks to them!
It was a pleasure working with both Jocelyn and Sonya on the selling and purchasing of our homes. They are very knowledgeable and professional, and I felt very confident they got us the best deal on the selling of our home. As for the purchasing, they worked day and night to get us in a home that they knew we would love. They got us our dream home. Thank you so much!
Sonya & Jocelyn were absolutely GREAT! They served as our selling & buying agents in our most recent move and did a fantastic job! My wife & I really appreciated their patience, professionalism, transparency & responsiveness throughout both transactions. Most importantly, their easy-going demeanor & likeability made the whole process comfortable& pleasant. We have already recommended them to other friends & neighbors who may be looking to move in the future. Thanks Jocelyn & Sonya for a wonderful experience!
Jocelyn and Sonya were amazing! They were able to keep us posted each step of the way and were extremely kind. They were able to make the entire process of buying a home into a smooth process. We couldn't have been happier.
Jocelyn and Sonya were absolutely amazing! They were so punctual, profession, hardworking and appropriately aggressive for us the whole time! This 2020 has been a crazy year and crazy market and they always got the job done and had our best interest at heart! If you want to be treated right go with them!!!
We (My wife and I) were so overwhelmed and frustrated by all the intangibles, small print and unknowns that go into buying the home of your dreams at the right price that I had almost given up on the idea of buying our dream home. Fortunately, my wife had not given up and found these two amazing angels (Jocelyn & Sonya) who so patiently, professionally, and diligently guided us through these uncharted waters. They found our dream home at a better than great price and all we had to do was SIGN on the dotted line. We will be forever grateful to them and so will anyone else who consults them. THEY'RE THE BEST!
Jocelyn and Sonya are the best!! Professional, honest, dedicate to help with you in all the process! We don’t have words to express our gratitude to both of you! We highly recommend them! Thank You Jocelyn and Sonya!
Have been working with Jocelyn couple times as buyer. It’s very good experience because Jocelyn is very professional and knowledgeable. So, I called Jocelyn without any hesitation when I decided to sell the property. She didn’t let me down. We sold the property in two weeks with very good price. Jocelyn and Sonya guided me on every step to make the whole transaction very smooth.
If you are buying or selling in the San Diego region, sign on with JS Realty. Jocelyn Dunham and Sonya Stauffer will take care of you every step of the way. We had to do much of our shopping for a new home from a distance. Jocelyn and Sonya closed that distance with a personal touch and attention to detail that transcended the miles! Through virtual touring, phone conversations, emails, texts and a solid understanding of local neighborhoods and the current market, this team made our search an adventure. The ease of docu-signing was matched with the ease of communication; someone from their team was always available, whether we had a question or needed reassurance. They meticulously guided us through protocol, logistics, offers, and paperwork. It doesn’t stop there! They connected us with contractors, workers, cleaning crews, inspectors, escrow officers, and their own office transactions coordinator. Because of all this, we are about to move into a home that is completely ready for us! JS Realty, with Jocelyn Dunham, Sonya Stauffer, and their team, will make your transition of buying, selling, and moving a safe, positive, and smooth experience.
Ordinarily, working with someone who actually does what they say they're going to do would not even be worthy of a comment. In this day and age, unfortunately, it's not only rare but it's worth mentioning. These two are really on the ball. When they say they're going to take care of something consider it done. We would never have pulled off this purchase without their hard work and expertise. Don't let their soft voices fool you. These two negotiate like bulldogs.
The most professional, aggressive and superb negotiators in over 40 years of home purchases. Communication from their team, Rachel, Stacy, etc. Was unbelievably fast and efficient. We would give them 10 stars if possible!
Jocelyn and Sonya were very helpful and attentive throughout the entire process of listing and selling our home. They were there to support and answer any questions or concerns that we had. Everything was done in a very professional, yet personal manner. I would highly recommend Jocelyn and Sonya Real Estate Team.
We have just sold our house in North West Clairemont and we couldn’t be happier about our decision to list our home with Sonya and Jocelyn. From the beginning to the end of the process, we received exemplary service and got outstanding results. Sonya and Jocelyn are highly responsive, courteous and supportive. They establish a strong rapport with everyone they meet, always follow up, are knowledgeable and results-oriented. The process of getting a house ready to put on the market, as well as navigating offers, inspections and the myriad complexities of a sale can be daunting and it is great to have someone who really knows the business, is diligent and has your interests at heart. Sonya and Jocelyn were with us every step of the way, and we never had a moment of delay or an unanswered question. I would unhesitatingly recommend Sonya and Jocelyn as outstanding agents.
Sonya and Jocelyn are very pleasant, highly successful professionals. They guided us through the successful sale of our home, from start to finish. They were absolutely essential in the purchase of our new home in Oceanside.
They were golden, from start to finish. Jocelyn and Sonya consistently went above and beyond what we could have expected from a Realty team. They anticipated every possible turn of the journey, and if any unexpected issue arose, they quickly, effectively dealt with it — From preparing to sell our home through its eventual sale closing, then on to the viewing of potential new homes, choosing one, then making a winning offer on it, then through its closing.
My wife and I felt immensely supported every step of the way. In the hands of these very pleasant, consummate pros who welcomed every question, and handled every request that we had over 4 months. Additionally, they have a great team that includes mortgage, photography, title, and construction professionals who also made huge differences for us.
We ended up getting more money for our house than we thought possible, it sold in 2 days, and then we discovered and purchased a beautiful home in a great neighborhood. Stacy, the mortgage professional on their team was also exceptional. When we decided on spending more, her quick actions allowed us to buy our dream home. It is hard to imagine how our experience could possibly be any better than it has been with both deals now done.
There was so much involved in both selling and buying that if we hadn't had the help of Jocelyn, Sonya, and their Team, we believe it could have been disastrous. If we could rate them over 5 stars we would. We offer our very highest recommendation. Repeatedly over the 4 months with the 2 houses, from start to finish, we got exactly what we needed and wanted as soon as we requested it. Sonya and Jocelyn and your Real Estate Team, thank you so very much. You made it all happen for us. We owe you.
Jocelyn and Sonya are a great team. They were always available and followed up on every question and detail. They also provided helpful referrals to various vendors needed throughout the process.
Sonya and Jocelyn were so helpful every step of the way to successfully sell our home. They have a fantastic bank of resources to solve any problem. I would highly recommend this very personable team!
Your customer service is excellent! You both never failed to find the time to fit us in to show us a house and never failed to update us on traffic delays. You are both very knowledgeable about the Ocean Hills market and have been very honest and kind to us. You are a class act. We will definitely refer you to our friends looking to move down to the area!
The experience working with Jocelyn and Sonja has been outstanding. From the beginning, showing us homes virtually, strategizing to make an accepted offer, and ongoing communication during the entire buying process, they helped us every step of the way. They are excellent at what they do, and they love helping their clients. My sister and I feel so fortunate to have had them as our agents. They are professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommended them to anyone wanting to purchase a home.
Professional, easy to work with, and closes fast!
Jocelyn and Sonya helped me buy a house and sell a house all within a few months. Not only did they help explain all the paperwork involved but they had a list of vendors to help with all aspects of fixups, repairs, cleaning, and moving. They are a great team.
1. They were available to us as we were exploring and seeking the right community and type of home. As a team, they ensured that one or the other was available to meet our needs.
2. They worked well with the seller to negotiate terms and conditions and worked in our interest for a win-win. (i.e., Extended the escrow, resolved inspection issues, and worked with our loan officer during a stressful computer system failure that delayed the closing)
3. Their knowledge of the 55+ communities, workings of the HOA, the models and features, and proven contractors to consider for our remodeling needs were extremely helpful as we transitioned into our new home.
Jocelyn and Sonya were knowledgeable and reliable. They took care of everything in a professional and friendly manner. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Sonya and Jocelyn were the kindest, most professional real estate team I have dealt with. While I relocated from Northern California to San Diego County they kept me updated. They were so kind to pick me up in their own cars and take me to the properties until I found one. I would recommend Jocelyn and Sonya to anybody that is looking to relocate in Southern California or anywhere else. They helped me every step of the way.
Both Sonya and Jocelyn were there for us every step of the way! They helped in selecting the home and guided us through escrow and attaining the loan! They were always there on time if an appointment was necessary to accomplish a particular mission! We highly recommend them for your real estate agents as they are both professional and very helpful and easy to work with! We are very pleased with all their efforts, and we will use them again on any future projects!
Excellent Team! Sonya and Jocelyn are great to work with. We recently purchased 2 homes using them as our agents. They have excellent communication and are always available during the process. We had several questions which they quickly answered, and they were very successful negotiating our requests with the seller’s agent. Overall, Jocelyn and Sonya are very knowledgeable, professional, and put in tireless hours helping us. They made the whole buying process less stressful because we could count on them being there for us. I have complete confidence in them and definitely recommend using this team.
This is our second house we have bought through Jocelyn and Sonya. They are very professional, personable, experienced, and are on top of everything we need like lightning speed. I highly recommend!
Jocelyn and Sonya were excellent for first-time buyers like us. They were patient and always willing to take time to walk us through the details. I highly recommend them!
This is the second time we used this team, and they are great. They understood our needs, moved quickly on opportunities, and kept us up to date on activities. We would highly recommend Jocelyn and Sonya.
Sonya and Jocelyn are knowledgeable, patient, and very accommodating. They made my first home purchase possible, as I could never have done it without them.
Jocelyn and Sonya are the best, hardest working, in-your-corner realtors you could ever have. Their expert advise helps you get top dollar for your house, and they absolutely will help you get the house you want. They also help you every step of the way. They are also good honest people. They are the best!
Absolutely the very best realtor you could EVER hope to find… did their best… very professional every step of the way… couldn’t ask for a better team.
The Michael Jordan of the Real Estate World! Has helped my fellow Marines and Sailors. I "HIGHLY" recommend her service.
Our experience with Jocelyn has been nothing short of a miracle. She first helped us find our dream home and then worked her magic so that we could sell it at a great time for us. A true professional.
Jocelyn was a real pro. She was quick to get back to us when we had any concerns and walked us through every step of the process. Thanks Jocelyn!
Jocelyn (and Sonya) did a fantastic job supporting my wife and I over a 3-YEAR PERIOD while we contemplated downsizing after almost 50 years in our lovely San Diego area home. She was very patient with us even when I told her we were mostly "lookie-lou's" every time (lots of times) she showed us a potential home. She (and Sonya) are the BEST! They knows North County VERY WELL. Probably other areas also. She always put our needs/desires first! Great lady, great realtor!
Great experience from start to finish. We were fortunate enough to meet and get started with Sonya, who we truly enjoyed. Jocelyn was there for the long haul. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Truly could not have asked for anything more. Can’t thank her enough.
Because Joselyn is an amazing professional, she is always there for us. She answered all our questions with perfection, She never let us do anything wrong, and helped in every step. She is so kind, honest, and.she knows what she is doing very well. She helped us two different times and she will always be our number One! We love you Joselyn!
Our experience with Jocelyn has been nothing short of a miracle. She first helped us find our dream home and then worked her magic so that we could sell it at a great time for us. A true professional.
I was looking for a home in a 55+ community. I had a Realtor friend offer her services without me even asking her and I went along with it, thinking, well a Realtor is a Realtor. Then she had a family emergency, and I was forced to look for another Realtor. I found Jocelyn and she was just wonderful. My situation was a little complicated but she kept at it, helping me every step of the way to get it done. She had a wonderful home inspector, roof inspector and handyman to help me out with all the problems. I highly recommend her
Jocelyn was key in our move process to inform and educate us on the CA buying process, We are moving from the East Coast and Jocelyn enabled us to get and sign all required CA documents electronically. She also was quite responsive and calming when worries started. The buying process can be stressful but we felt completely supported by Jocelyn and her team.
We love Jocelyn and Sonya! They sold my parents their house and from my parents experience, I knew we would want to work with them again. They’re both so on top of it, so positive, so detail oriented, and so kind. Throughout this whole process my husband and I kept saying “thank goodness we have Jocelyn and Sonya.” I can’t say enough good things or recommend them enough. We got our dream home in Carlsbad near the beach thanks to them!
A family friend recommended me to Jocelyn after I lost my mom. I live in Texas so I needed a real estate agent that could take care of everything from the cleaning to staging, photography, minor repairs, inspections, estate sale, and item donations. She took care of EVERYTHING. Her expertise of retirement communities and San Diego real estate was proven throughout an extremely fast sale (a few days) and close. I couldn't have done this without her.
