Navigating The Process
From Preparation To Sold
Meet With Us
There’s no commitment required on your part for the initial meeting. It will be educational and help you identify your next steps.
Review CMA
We will provide a Comparative Market Analysis, which will help you set an asking price.
Establish a Price
As difficult as it may be, it’s important to review the market analysis and consider your home price objectively.
Prepare Your Home
View your home through the eyes of the buyer and ask yourself what you’d expect. We will offer some useful suggestions.
List It For Sale
When everything is in place we will put your home on the open market. It’s critical you make it as easy as possible for potential buyers to view your home.
Showings
Potential buyers may ask to see your home on short notice. It’s best if you can accommodate these requests, you never want to miss a potential sale.
Offers and Negotiation
If everything goes well, a buyer and (most often the agent who represents them) will present us with an offer.
Choosing an Offer
We will present the benefits and risks of each offer. You will have the opportunity to either accept, counter, or decline any offer based on its merits.
Under Contract
At this point, you and the buyer have agreed to all of the terms of the offer and both parties have signed the agreements.
Final Details
While under contract, the buyer will work with their mortgage provider to finalize the loan and perform other due diligence.
Inspection
The buyer will usually perform a physical inspection of the home. They may even ask you to make certain repairs. We will explain all of your options regarding the inspection.
Closing
This is the transfer of funds and ownership. Depending on when the buyer moves into the home you will need to be all packed up and ready to move.

Testimonials

I first met Jane at an open house while seeking our new home. Although we did not end up purchasing the beautiful home, we struck up a conversation. During our chat, it became quite obvious that Jane was very passionate about real estate in general and she was extremely down to earth and "real". From that first introduction (and a few subsequent chats), we decided to hire Jane as our listing agent and to help us find our next and hopefully forever home. Jane knows the Los Angeles market very well and knows how to target market a property through social media and other avenues. We listed our home at the beginning of the current Covid 19 pandemic so it limited our ability to have traditional open houses. Due to the pandemic, we were emotionally prepared that we may not be able to sell our home and "move on" for quite some time. However, due to Jane's diligence and efforts, surprisingly, we were able to sell our home within a few short months. Jane is a true gem and as we moved along during the selling process, it became very obvious that she is genuinely concerned about her clients. We would highly recommend Jane to anyone looking to either purchase or sell their home during these challenging times. She is a breath of fresh air.

I have know Jane for many years and she was always my 'go-to' gal when it was time to part with and sell my property in Langford. My house was quick to sell upon listing and sold while I was out of the Country on vacation. In my absence, she handled everything with ease and efficiency, she went above and beyond to make my selling process extremely smooth. Truly a beautiful person inside and out and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for professionalism, market knowledge and over-all great service. Thank you so much Jane for all you have done and all the support you provided me during my sale. You're the best!

Jane was referred to me by an equally impressed friend. My experience with Jane has changed my views about real estate agents/realtors. Not only is she very accommodating and knowledgeable about the real estate world but also treats you as a family/friend. She has strong work ethics and a positive attitude. Another thing I liked about Jane is that she patiently waited for me to find the right property that suits my (and my family's) needs. I never felt like she was pushing me to buy a property, if anything, she would give me her objective observations and criticisms which I absolutely found refreshing. Her honesty, combined with her professionalism, is very admirable. She helped me sell two different properties on different occasions and again helped me in buying my current one which I am totally loving! I would highly recommend Jane to be your realtor two thumbs up! I couldn't have asked for a better realtor!

She is always there to provide support and advice. She was and continues to be available if needed even post sale/purchase to answer any questions. We would highly reccommend her if you are buying or selling a property. Doesn't matter if you are looking as a first time buyer or are a seasoned real estate pro Jane treats you like you are her number one client.

As two very satisfied clients, my wife Becky and I can attest to Jane’s exceptional level of professionalism and insight when it comes to navigating the real estate market in Los Angeles. We have purchased and sold several properties through Jane Smith and could not be impressed with the service we have received. Working with someone who understands the local market and who can negotiate even the most complicated of deals is an invaluable asset for anyone looking to buy or sell property in the greater Los Angeles area.

Today, as we sit and enjoy our morning coffee in our amazing new home, we thought it prudent and timely to forward the following to you...
It is hard to believe that almost 9 years have gone by since we first met. During this time you have become a really good friend and mentor for all our real estate needs, giving us expert advice and guidance during the buying and selling process. In addition, we wanted to reiterate how very pleased we are with the way you have always treated our referred friends and colleagues for all their real estate needs. We look forward to our continued relationship both personally and professionally.

My husband and I looked for our first home for over 2 years. We have lived in Los Angeles for 13 years and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. We took our time, finished school, landed great careers in this beautiful city, and then finally got serious about buying a house. We met Jane when we were still in school and wanting to get a feel for the market, and then again when we were finally in a position to make an offer. Jane's experience, professionalism, work ethic, and guidance is unparalleled in the Los Angeles real estate market. She always listened to us and made us feel well looked after. When we found the perfect home for us, Jane helped us to view it right away, to be the first to complete a home inspection, and assisted us to put in the offer that ultimately got us the house of our dreams! This included her suggestion to write a letter to the home owners to explain why they should choose us. Ultimately, there were 10 offers on the home and we were chosen! We like to think the letter was a big part of that. We now live in a beautiful 1940's home complete with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, gas range, and large bay windows. We couldn't be happier and it's all thanks to Jane! We have now referred our friends to Jane, and she just helped them purchase their first condo! We can't thank her enough!!

My first experience with real estate was not what I expected it would be. I was held with the difficult task of selling a family member’s property and it was an emotional and difficult situation. When I had approached Jane for guidance, she did not hesitate for a second to take on the challenge despite knowing it was not going to be easy. Her unwavering support, her determination, her compassion, and her uncompromising dedication to the best interest of her clients is was makes Jane one of a kind. There is not a doubt in my mind that when I am ready to purchase my first family home, Jane will be by my side.

I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Jane. I was so happy with the whole sale/purchase of my home. Her knowledge of the real estate market paired with her passion to serve is unmatched. I would highly recommend Jane to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate on Vancouver Island.
