Janice VanDerAa

ZillowVERIFIED

Janice VanDerAa at Keller Williams was referred by a neighbor to assist with the sale of my late brothers home in Acton, MA. Our family was dealing with a lot of logistics and none of us lived in the area. We were able to meet with Janice in person to discuss her engagement and she immediately put us at ease with her knowledge of the area, her professionalism, experience, and expertise in the process. She is very approachable, kept me informed throughout, held zoom calls as needed and answered all my many questions along the way. We had a lot to do to get the house cleaned out and ready to sell and she and her team were there to assist at every step. She worked with the clean out crew and did an amazing job with staging the home. She advised us on pricing and within 3 months of that first meeting, the sale closed with an amazing offer. I would not hesitate to recommend Janice and her team.

Janice was amazing right from the start of our home buying process. She has a very methodical and empathetic process. To start with, she met with us to understand our requirements and reciprocated with meaningful suggestions. She also oriented us with the various stages of the home buying process and prepared us for what to expect. During all showings, Janice was very cooperative with our schedule and super prompt in responding to each of our requests. She is very detail oriented and always answers every question very patiently and without judgement. All of these qualities make her a team player! Moreover, her knowledge about the real estate scene in the New England area runs deep. I extremely enjoyed having analytical conversations with her and getting meaningful insights. Janice is also very data-focused, which makes it easier to take decisions. She is really good about negotiations too and will not fail you. I am sure you'll be very comfortable and lucky to have Janice on your team.

We highly recommend Janice for her professionalism, market knowledge, communication skills, and genuine interest in making the sale of our home as stress-free as possible. Putting our house on the market in the summer of 2022 made pricing a challenge. Janice worked closely with us to consider price adjustments, negotiate with potential buyers, and eventually finalize the sale. She was considerate of our schedule when arranging open houses and viewings and provided timely feedback. We also appreciated and used her recommendations for outside services and were pleased with the results. The ease of the entire process exceeded our expectations and we feel very fortunate to have had Janice as a partner throughout this time.

We have worked with Janice VanDerAa twice in the sale of our homes and have known her for almost 10 years. Her ability to think of her feet, strategize and create a plan (with backup options when necessary) was critical in the sale of both of our homes. Janice has the amazing ability to keep calm when problems arise and reassess and suggest modifications to the plan as needed. She was available when we needed her and was able to advise us on issues that came up. Janice never drops a ball and is amazing at communicating and responding to calls and emails.

Janice was very patient and knowledgable during our home sale that needed to happen under a very tight schedule. She had a great sense of humor while she educated and guided us on the sale of our home. She is respected in the industry which was clear as she coordinated with other realtors and professionals involved in the sale of our home. We highly recommend Janice and would reach out to her again should we ever need to see/buy another home!

Really can't say enough about Janice VanDerAa. She was direct while still being warm, she made us feel looked out for but still in control of our own destiny, and she was incredibly timely and available with communication, even going so far as to trek through fixer uppers in the rain to give us video tours so we wouldn't have to find a babysitter. Janice really listened to our wants and needs, helping give us a realistic perspective without ever making us feel like we'd have to compromise. She was aggressive with getting us in to see houses we were interested in, but also found places we hadn't noticed that she thought would be good fits. Janice was incredible at every stage. She answered all of our questions, made sure we were well-informed but not overwhelmed, and took everything possible off our plates. She was a godsend!

We had an outstanding experience working with Janice. Janice was a true partner in selling our home right as the public health crisis started to affect the real estate market. Her market knowledge, sound advice, instincts, attention to detail, methodical process, and honest assessments were essential to our sale and helped us navigate a particularly stressful time and situation. Most importantly, Janice kept our energy focused on the right things and gave us honest assurance of what to expect each step of the way. Aside from the transaction, Janice genuinely cared about our family's well-being and worked hard to minimize disruptions which we really valued as new parents. We cannot recommend Janice enough. If you are buying or selling in the NorthWest suburbs, you need to talk to Janice!

We were gone for 2 weeks and in that time a house in our neighborhood went on the market and under agreement. We thought, hmmm, let's sell the house if it's that easy. With Janice it was, every step of the way.She is a real subject matter expert, and even for this control freak, it was the right decision to have her make all the decisions and recommendations from the start. She saved us money in staging and made us a lot of money in the selling! Highly highly recommend her!

We knew from first speaking with Janice VanDerAa that we could trust her judgement about pricing our home. Janice was straightforward with us about the price, which other realtors were not. Her positive energy and understanding of our needs were also reasons we selected Janice as our agent. She was able to quickly pick up on our needs, bringing energy and enthusiasm to marketing the house. Janice was very patient with us, three siblings selling our parents' home. Janice answered our questions and addressed our concerns, often having to go over the same information multiple times. I credit her with getting us a very good offer on the house within a couple of weeks of going on the market.Janice actively tracked all potential buyers' agents to get feedback, relaying that information back to us. The brochure that was created for the house was outstanding- the photos were beautiful, capturing the uniqueness of our historic home. Furthermore, the verbiage on the listing was extremely well-written.Janice obviously has a lot of experience. She was confident, knowledgable and reassuring, earning our trust from start to finish! I would have no hesitation recommending Janice VanDerAa to friends and family.

Janice is an exceptional realtor. She is patient, explains things effectively, is super responsive and easy to get hold of. Janice is always on top of the process, knows which steps to take, is highly effective and efficient at achieving them and throughout the process is so much fun to work with. She takes a potentially stressful situation, breaks it down into bite size chunks and keeps you smiling throughout! Janice is very knowledgeable about all matters realty, but if there are any unknowns (we had a novel septic system) she will dig into and solve any issues quickly and she actually enjoys learning about new issues to improve her our knowledge. As she told me, she loves to problem solve and I can tell you that she is very good at it. Janice helped us walk away from a problem property after a difficult inspection and ultimately helped us negotiate a great deal on our current wonderful home. I cannot recommend Janice enough. Thank you Janice!
