Josie Pakula

Josie provides exceptional service and is the best realtor we have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the market trends and local properties is outstanding, and she is always available and provides prompt and efficient service. Josie goes above and beyond and always goes the extra mile!

Josie knew the area we were looking very well. She was responsive and gave us honest feedback. We felt like she really cared about us and wanted us to find a place that will make us happy. She was professional and patient. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family.

Josie Pakula and her partner, Shawn Shackelton, of Ventana Realty, brought an unparalleled level of professional order, kind personal consideration, always timely service and unfailing good humor to the process of selling my family home. Without reservation, I can recommend Josie and Shawn for their professional expertise, skillful communication and helpful manner to anyone needing to buy or sell a home.

My husband and I were purchasing our very first home, so we had to have full trust in our real estate agent. Josie was an absolute God send!! We couldn't have asked for a friendlier, more prompt or more knowledgeable agent to help us through such an important and exciting time. She walked us through every step of the way and was so HONEST and detailed through the entire process. We loved working with her and I would recommend her to all my friends and family!

We were just so lucky to choose Josie as our agent. Her expertise was incredible and very knowledgeable. We flew in from Australia and looked at many houses over a short period of time and bought one! This was mainly due to Josie's assistance and skill. The thing we liked most about Joise is that she is very efficient, always on top of everything. As oversea buyers, we had to leave the country before the deal closed with a lot of unhandled issues, but she made it happen. Josie also helped us with other things way beyond her agent duties. We are so grateful for her passion and kindness. We would definitely buy our second house with her. It will be a long term business relationship and friendship.

We chose Josie after [telephone] interviews with several other realtors who promised to follow up with us, but did not. Josie's personality was bubbly and enthusiastic, which initially sold us to go with her. Josie was always eager to help us to do our best to stage and ready our home to be shown. She provided us with everything we needed to know in writing. She followed through with phone calls. She ALWAYS answered her phone and/or returned our call within minutes. She was there for us. Our home sold to the first person who came to see it. Things went very smoothly regarding this sale. Our only regret is that we had such a short working relationship with Josie, however, we have maintained personal contact with her...she has proven to be a friend as well as our realtor. We would certainly recommend Josie to ANYONE who is looking to sell or buy a home. She is the greatest.
