Jana Schmidt

As a first time home buyer the housing market can be pretty intimidating, but having Jana, Tristan and their whole team on my side helped make this process a breeze. They were extremely communicative, knowledgeable and helped me out with every step along the way. They also let me know everything that was going to happen ahead of time so nothing caught me by surprise. With how crazy the market was I wasn't sure I would ever get an offer accepted but the Jana Sells Home team helped me to come up with the perfect offer to get me into my first home. I truly cannot thank them enough and if I am looking to purchase a new home in the future Jana and her team will be my first stop, I can't wait to work with them again:)

I cannot begin to explain what a phenomenal team Jana Sells Homes has put together. The home buying market this January through March was more stressful and competitive than I could have imagined. As a first time home buyer, I found myself overwhelmed and anxious throughout much of the long search for my home. Jana and her team guided me through this tough process and treated me as a member of their family. They didn't sugar coat how tough the market was, but they still gave me hope and confidence when I needed it. Jana made sure that I found a home where I would be safe and sound, just like she did when her own daughter was searching for her first home. As they told me throughout the process, "what is meant to be will be". After the heartbreak of losing several offers, I ended up finding the perfect condo and I am so happy that I lost on the previous offers.I just moved in and still I can't believe I am a first-time home owner. I couldn't have done it without Jana, Bri, Tristan, and Dave.Thank you all so much ?

Jana and her team are just amazing! The care and attention to detail at every step of the journey is truly outstanding. Jana, Tristan, and Dave all helped us find the right home in a really tough market, each bringing their own wonderful insights and loads of experience that were invaluable to us as first-time homebuyers. This team is pure enthusiasm and dedication. They educated us on the market throughout, and shared helpful thoughts and information on every facet of each home -- from furnace life to entertaining flow. And, they let us do our own thing, search at our own rhythm and take breaks, always available to help, but never any pressure or stress. We couldn't be happier with our home buying process or with the team. Top-notch professionals -- we feel lucky to have had their help. Thank you for everything!!!

Jana and her team were amazing! Detail oriented, communicative and knowledgeable. We really felt like we were a team working with Jana. She supported our goals and listened to our opinions. She is dedicated to market research, advertising and educating her clients, whether it's as a buyer or seller. We highly recommend Jana and her team for all your real estate needs!!!? ?

Jana and her team have been outstanding. The care that went into the selling of our house was perfect. From making sure the media was first class to the open house to getting the best offers. Jana's knowledge about the competitive nature of the Seattle market resulted in the maximum outcome we could have wished for. We highly recommend Jana to have your home priced correctly and sold quickly at the best price.

Jana and her real estate team were amazing and we are so happy we trusted them with the sale of our home. Jana really took a team approach, working with us and our needs as well as using her expertise to maximize marketing exposure and ultimately a sale significantly above list price. We will be recommending Jana and her team to all our friends and family!!

About 20 yrs ago, I met Jana, I was working as a recruiter and she had come in looking for an Admin position hopefully in the RE industry. After talking with her I had learned she had just got her license and was hoping for a future in that industry. What a GEM! I placed her easily ~ but what happened next and next was short of spectacular. She was promoted to the Manager of a Corp relocation company, and began hiring from me. Working with her from that angle was interesting. It was easy to place people due to her ability to articulate her needs ~Jana is laser focused, intense in her ability to answer all the questions before you ask. She is direct. Patient. Fair. Time conscience. She has the utmost respect for your intelligence and prepares well. When Jana joined John L Scott, she jumped into the top ten performers quickly. I followed her career, and we worked together professionally many times... When I wanted to sell my home, guess who I called? She has everyone in her back pocket. A stager, a photographer, she has a binder of research available so that we, as a team, made all the right decisions and were daily up to date on the status of the market. My experience working with Jana was phenomenal. I have bought and sold 4 homes in my life, and this experience by far was the best. I say that due to the trust she instills and backs up with all of her abilities. She does her homework. She answers your calls immediately, she steers you with absolute facts. She is definitely a power player and someone you'd want on your team, whether selling or buying. I happened to move out of state, however wish with all my heart I could have put Jana in my pocket and taken her with me ~ She is the TOP of her field, her ability to mix trust, integrity, knowledge, direct communication, hard ball and laughter and sincere caring in her repertoire is both unique and amazing. I could keep going, but you already know you should hire her. She's the absolute best! Please tell her Hi! I miss her :)

Jana and her team are wonderful to work with! She sold us our first home and is continuing to help us as we start thinking about our next home! I would recommend Jana to everyone and am SO happy we found her!

"We met Jana years ago and sought her help to sell our current home and subsequently purchase another home. The market had just started to decline and we held off on our real estate goals to wait the market out. Jana kept in touch with us over that period and helped us gauge the best time to reenter the market. She sat down with us to help make a list to prepare out home for sale and even helped stage it at no expense to us. The marketing and photos were top notch and we procured a sale very quickly. But because things don't always go to plan in real estate, the first sale didn't come through. We put the home back on the market and even got a bidding war on our home which Jana helped us navigate and ultimately choose the offer that would net us the most money. Jana's follow up was spot on and she really worked hard to make sure we felt well cared for throughout the years."

Jana and Mariah were delightful to work with! We felt that we could be completely honest with any and all of our needs and concerns. They made us feel like we were their only priority. Jana in particular has so much information to offer. We felt that we were fully equipped to buy a home. She taught us the ins and outs of home buying from the loan types to inspections and home ownership. Mariah is a young, fiery, go-getter. She is so much fun to be around. You want her on your side, no doubt. To be honest, I'm kind of excited to move again so we can hang out with Jana and Mariah :)
