For context, we worked with Janice while sheltering-in-place, sometime during last June/July. We loved working with Janice and we would absolutely recommend her to any friend who is looking to purchase a home. Here are some of the reasons why: She's approachable, super responsive, and resourceful. She keeps a finger on how hot which San Francisco neighborhoods are at the moment. She can come up with estimated values and when you actually look at the comps, it's pretty much in line with what she tells you to expect. If you're looking at a home and you have questions about how much it would cost to renovate it (break down a wall, add another room, etc), she can give you some quick estimates. She'll tell you what you can get at a minimum price and what it'll cost to get nicer upgrades. She's had experience with flipping houses, getting permits, and the like. She gives you her thoughts, but she lets you ultimately drive the decision on how you want to negotiate. It's great in that she gives you the space to learn how to bid and get a feel for the market. After you bid, she comes back to give you feedback on how the negotiations went. She does a great job of articulating the tradeoffs of what you're buying. Depending on what your future plans are in regards to buying a home (renovating then selling, permanent family home, etc.), she can help you think through how a home will appreciate in value. She's fast, and that helps if you want to lock down a place before other potential buyers enter the scene. If you want to go look at a place, she'll book an appointment quickly and she'll make sure to meet you there at the allotted time. The process of buying with Janice was straightforward, fun, and informative. We look forward to working with her again one day.
