It was an absolute pleasure to work with The Key Project in purchasing our home! They were so professional and on top of everything! We told our agent Danitzia exactly what we were looking for and not only did she come back with a bunch of options for us, she filled out all the necessary forms for us to see the homes, and showed them to us so quickly! She was so attentive and knowledgeable! I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!

Louie Villasenor was instrumental in getting our Lincoln home on the market and sold promptly. He was professional, responsive, and kept us well informed. Louie operated with transparency and integrity throughout the process, and we are grateful for his support.
Danitzia was amazing throughout the entire process of selling our home of 35 years and purchasing our new one. We can't express enough gratitude for her knowledge, her careful attention to our needs, and her continued willingness to help and timeliness. We look forward to working with her again in the future and will absolutely recommend her to our family and friends.
This is our second time using The Key Project. John Justo made buying a home such a smooth experience. We plan to continue to use him as our realtor for many years to come. He is a great communicator that always kept us posted. He was always two steps ahead of what we needed to close. John treated us like family and we continue to trust him with all of our realty needs.
It was truly a pleasure working with John Justo during this home buying experience. He was available to answer questions when I had them and made the entire process smooth and relatively stress free. I had a couple of mild freak-out moments but John walked me through the issues and greatly eased my nervousness. I would highly recommend him to anyone buying a home!
This is not my first time working with John Justo and The Key Project and I know it won't be my last. I know most people think their realtor is the best, but I say the proof is in the numbers for me. John helped me close on my 4th house which just so happens to be my dream house. And maybe that's nothing out of the ordinary in the grand scheme of things, but one of the agents on the other side of the deal (they were going through a divorce) was a real piece of work! It got to the point where I thought she was trying to sabotage the deal for her own personal reasons (she represented the husband). However, John didn't move off his mark or goal of closing on house. He was available every time I needed him, stayed one if not two steps ahead of the one agent's shenanigans, made sure I was protected legally, all while maintaining his ethical obligations (and yes, ethics came into play while dealing with this other agent). This deal took patience, humility, finesse and a lot of knowledge of real estate procedures and laws. If I didn't have The Key Protect, I really may have not purchased my dream house. So super thankful! Until the next purchase, thank you for everything!
Flor Zarate was great to work with when selling a condo. She was very honest from the beginning to the end. If she didn't know an answer she was transparent with me and would ask her team. She always followed through and got back to me ASAP. She made a challenging situation (selling remotely) as easy as possible. I'd work with her again if the opportunity came up. Thanks Flor!
As first time homebuyers our experience with our realtor Danitzia could not have been more smoother. She was incredibly informative through the entire process, was always available to answer all of our questions and take us to look at potential listings. I would highly recommend Danitzia to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their house.
Jason Horton is one of the best. Being a first time home buyer is scary especially in this market. Jason was patient and went above and beyond to answer all my questions before the sale and thereafter. My specific condo had a couple of cash offers and because of the way Jason positioned my offer we beat them and now I have a place to call home. I feel super grateful to have met Jason, working full time there were times Jason would go to the listing and send me videos since I was in a time crunch to find a home. Jason is such a good guy! HIGHLY recommend Jason. He is so informative and so kind! Thank you sooo much Jason for your help and for your knowledge. You made buying a home easy and comfortable. Will be choosing Jason for my next home purchase.
John Justo was the agent assisting my husband and I sell our home. He was extremely responsive and approachable, and walked us through each step of the process. He took the time to answer all of our questions, and took all of our requests into account. Selling a home is stressful; John made it much more simple. We would definitely use The Key Project's services again.
I was able to find the perfect home suitable for my daughter and I, and I have The Key Project to thank for that! John Justo ("Jay") was with me every step of the way on the real estate side. He made appointments for home showings, sent me listings to view and really cared about what was important to me in my vision of a home. He was very organized with paperwork, communicated with me constantly via phone, text and email and was always right there to explain something that I didn't understand about the home buying process. Bottom line is, he never left me in the dark. When I found a listing that I really liked, Jay always made himself available no matter what time of day, rain or shine, he hustled for me and really worked around my schedule. Although I can't say that the same about the mortgage side being a good experience, Hands down, this has been a great buying experience and the real estate side was seamless! I love my new home! I highly recommend this company!
My family has had an amazing experience using The Key Projects' Chris Lewis this month. He not only sold our two story home in Elk Grove in 7 days, but also was able to negotiate the perfect deal on a newer one story home to help us downsize! It was exactly the price we wanted to spend on a literally picture perfect home. Chris is a very professional and ideal agent all around. I am surprised to admit that this time I actually enjoyed the process instead of dreading it. I recommend using The Key Project and especially Chris Lewis if you would like a stress free experience.
When we made the decision to purchase our first home, we had no idea where to start. Someone, who had firsthand experience in working with The Key Project, had referred Jay Justo to us. He is the Owner and Head Broker of the company.
Because we were first time home buyers, there was some education that needed to happen and Jay was great through all that. He was calm, collected, and very professional. He sat down with us to figure out our want/need list, and to go through the ins and outs of the purchasing process. He always showed up on time for appointments with a positive and cheerful demeanor. His diligence and knowledge were very helpful in navigating the purchasing process of a new construction home. He was very responsive to our requests and answered all our questions. He is honest, patient, and did not push us in purchasing a home we would not like. We knew that there was sincerity in finding a home that fits our needs and lifestyle. With his help, we are now enjoying a beautiful home.
We would highly recommend him and his company to anyone who may be looking to purchase a home.
To those who rather not read this lengthy testimony/feedback, please let me start off by providing a quick summary of our experience with The Key Project and our Realtor John Jay Justo (aka JJ) - It was AWESOME and way...BEYOND what we were looking/asking for. So if you are looking for a realtor, no need to look further, The Key Project is it. You will NOT have any regrets.
If it is a 5 star rating system, hands down it surpass the 5 stars in customer service, helpfulness, response time, and realtor's knowledge and experiences. What started as an initial resource for information gathering (JJ - realtor with 10+ years of experiences), has now became obvious as our lifetime realtor. This is not our first time in purchasing a home, but the experiences are a total opposite this time around. We never felt pressured with the need to quickly submit an offer (we saw over 30+ houses) or purchasing a home that is above our price point (maxing out on the amount we got pre-approved for). JJ is not just our realtor, but an experienced mentor who guided us in every step of home buying while keeping us on track with the budget we had initially set forth to ensure that we would be able to maintain our purchase long term and not over extend ourselves due to the excitement of our home search journey. Speaking of journey, we had to overcome many obstacles, with one of them being a four plus months in the pre-approval process. Not only did JJ not gave up or lost patience with us, but he continuously check in, sent us listings, and provide alternatives in getting us pre-approve. JJ was true to his word in being there for the Lee Family once we got pre-approved - saw over 30+ houses, located all over Sacramento, within 2-3 weekends. As a matter of fact, our current residence will be forever remembered as the Super Bowl house. Yes, we viewed our house and placed an offer on the day of Super Bowl, while JJ family patiently awaited for his arrival to the family's Super Bowl gathering. Thank you JJ and family for being readily available to assist the Lee Family. It is much appreciated. There will not be another realtor besides The Key Project, Realtor John Jay Justo for the Lee Family.
The Lee Family, April 17, 2017.
Let me just say that as a first time home owner, this entire process was crazy scary for me. Both my husband and I had already started looking for homes and didn't know where to start at all. Everybody kept on asking us if we needed an agent but we went ahead and declined. Then we heard about jason through the great vine.
Let me say HE WAS AWESOME!!! Right when he found out we were looking for our homes, he made sure that we were knowledgable on what to expect and got our immediate input on the type of homes and areas we were looking for. As a San Francicso resident i was wonder that our distance would make it hard for us to work. I WAS SUPER WRONG lol. He took every effort to meet us on our long process of scanning houses. He took the time and effort to find out all he could about the home and neighborhoods surrounding (safety was my number one concern). We looked all over, Peninsula, Eastbay, South Bay EVERYWHERE. He presented us houses that were realistic and attainable (by request).
We put in a couple of offers but fate would say that it was definitely not meant to be. I had almost stopped actively looking.
We searched high and low and FINALLY, through jason, we found the house that we were looking for!!! It wasn't' even listed and was actually only taking private viewings and we managed to squeeze in on the very last day.
It It Literally Changed our lives! We pulled the trigger that day and let me say that he was there for every step of the way. Until the entire process was complete Jason had kept up with daily/weekly reminders of things we needed to do. He got on contact with the Sellers agent, our mortgage broker to work day in and day out. Even during this time we had to take vacation out of country, jason made sure to keep us in the loop and check certain statuses on the progression of the sale.
Now with the sale completed. We constantly still check in with Jason to verify all the things we need to complete after the purchase of the house. Even after his job has been completed, he's been super attentive to research the information needed and still helps us with help with finally getting settled in the house.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
My husband-to-be and I are extremely satisfied with the level of professionalism and dedication we received from John Justo and The Key Project while hunting for our first home. Being first time home buyers we were both excited and terrified of the whole process but I must say, John made us feel very comfortable and reassured from beginning to end. John was so patient with us during the house search and even when we wanted to look at homes outside our budget, he would come out and give us his input which often involved bringing us back down to Earth. He truly cared about us and wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting into. Rain or shine, John was there for us. We even have a running joke about that because it seemed like whenever we met up to see a house it would be raining! We absolutely love John and The Key Project for helping us start new memories together and acquire the house we will be building our family in. Anyone would be lucky to have this man and his team on their side. I promise!
The Key Project is the epitome of excellence. John Justo made purchasing our first home smooth, painless and fun. My fiancée and I actually made a friend through the process because John actually cares. What we really appreciated is the level of integrity that is maintained. You can feel that The Key Project wants to protect you and your best interest. Whenever we had any questions, John made sure he was able to answer us completely and promptly. We were actually dreading the home buying process but it felt like having a close family member walk us through the whole thing for the first time. That's what we walked away with, a wonderful new home...and a friend/family member for life!
Bottom line: I would totally recommend that you give The Key Project the opportunity to find you the home you will be happy in. You will not be sorry for taking the plunge when John and his team are your life preserver.
My wife and I have used the Key Project twice now, to buy two separate homes. John is incredibly punctual, timely, and devoted to his craft. Throughout the two homebuying experiences, we had to overcome numerous obstacles to close on time. John was super friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, taking extra time out of his day and going the extra mile to make sure we were 100 percent comfortable with every step of the process. I highly recommend the Key Project, I know I'll be going through John in the future.
