Reviews of Jana Schmidt Real Estate Broker with John L Scott (Real Estate Agency)

Connie Anderson

Jana is outstanding. She helped us through listing and selling our property. She held our hands every step of the way and she coordinated contractors and others while keeping in constant communication with us. I would highly recommend Jana to anyone buying or selling a home.

Caitlin Sevey

As a first time home buyer, Jana made the process easy to follow and an exciting experience. I appreciated her honest observations about the homes we saw and her house/property knowledge brought attention to things I would have missed being a newbie. Her and Bri both bring positive attitudes and professionalism to the table. I am so glad their names came up when talking with friends. Many thank you’s to the best mother/daughter team :)

Brenda Martin

You will love working with Jana and her team! Their professionalism, communication, and knowledge are top notch. We are always pleased with how smooth the transaction flows and truly appreciate everything about working with Jana. I highly recommend Jana and her team!

Mimi Wolfe

Jana was recommended to us by Dexter Wellington. We are so grateful he did. Jana walked us through every step of selling our home of 20 years. We followed her advice and our home sold in 4 days. She then went with us to find our retirement home on Marrowstone Island. She traveled 100 miles with us a few times. She was always available and followed through on every detail. The only regret is after closing we don't have Jana on a daily basis. We would recommend Jana to anyone. We consider Jana a friend and value her advice.

Mandy Pitingoro

We just bought our first home and Jana's team made it such an easy experience! They made sure to explain every step along the way! We competed against a few different offers and Jana had a great wealth of knowledge about how to make the most competitive offer. Would work with her again in an instant!

Kate Madill

I just can’t say enough positive things about Jana! She came highly recommended and provided such exceptional, personalized, and focused attention throughout my first Seattle home buying experience. She made me feel like a VIP client, though I was working with a very modest budget. I never once felt like she was trying to close a sale and I appreciated how she kept me in the loop on everything and explained each step in the process. Jana and her assistant, Bri, went out of their way to accommodate my schedule, non-negotiables, and endless questions! In addition to their wealth of experience, their knowledge of industry professionals like mortgage brokers and contractors has been such an added bonus. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jana to anyone looking for a top-notch, low-stress home buying experience!

Jana helped us to find our new home. She is extremely friendly, helpful, and response to our request promptly. I will definitely use her service again.

Heidi Skelcher

I wish I could give Jana more than 5 stars. She was incredible. She was so well organized and helped us every step of the way. She knew just how to put our home together to appeal to the most people and it sold in a week! I don't think we could have gotten the price we wanted in such a short time without her. Thanks Jana!

Pakman Treasures

Jana and her team help me work through all the challenges that come with selling a home, and left me a happy camper in the end. I cannot say enough about how they went the extra mile. Highly recommend Jana and her team. Well done!

Scott Jensen

Just closed a real estate transaction with Jana and Mariah. It was as close to flawless as you can get! Amazing communication and professionalism. Working closely with this team made my clients, and me, very happy. Could not recommend them any more highly.

I met Jana a few years ago while searching for my first home. As a first time home-buyer she patiently guided me through the process and took the time to understand what I was looking for. When it came time to sell that home Jana was the realtor I turned to. Her market knowledge, listing strategies and trusted network of resources resulted in the successful sale of my home during the real estate crisis. I just recently completed the purchase of another home with Jana. Whether you are buying or selling If you’re in need of a realtor I highly recommend Jana.

She’s awesome in every way

I have never been at ease with anyone who works on commission, but Jana was a game changer. She earned every penny of her commission, and then some with a performance that was well above expectation. We were really just probing the market to see when we might consider selling our condo to try to get into a larger home. We saw the home market was at a point where we could afford to buy if only we could get rid of the condo we had previously been upside down in. Not only did her statistical analysis find us the best time to sell, it also provided indicators for how and where to buy. With her guidance we secured the exact home we were looking for and sold our condo for well more than we ever expected, allowing us to cover all expenses related to our home purchase, condo sale, preparation and moving. Jana was by our side all along and never failed to reassure us of our pending success. Jana is not only a great realtor, but a great person, and our experience could not have been better. I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so until she gets out of the real estate business. More recently I worked with Jana to sell a rental home that we had also been upside down in. Like her performance in the condo sale, her competence, knowledge, and customer service are unparalleled in the real estate industry. I have now sold two homes and purchased one with Jana and have not been disappointed even one time...she is the best! She helped us anticipate realistic expectations of where we might find ourselves in the market, and the end result consistently went above those to realize our hopes for those transactions. My wife and I love working with Jana and have a better quality of life as a result.

Savannah Salmans

I am actually a licensed real estate agent in the state of Virginia. I was extremely picky and researched a lot of realtors before choosing one for my relocation to Washington. I found Jana and read through a lot of her reviews and tracked her sales history. Her and Bri were absolutely amazing. I really liked all of the small touches that they provided as far as sending me a relocation guide, emails for easy transition tips and tricks. They also sent me an email that allowed me to set up a lot of my utilities and transfer mail. It was just very convenient and they were on top of everything. Jana was very sweet and professional. When I came to the Seattle area to house hunt I had already found my house but she took the time to drive me and my grandma around and show me the neighborhood and some great little insider information. I really enjoyed working with her and I highly recommend her. I have worked with many realtors in my career and she is definitely one of my favorites.

Charlie Gates

She's amazingly knowledgeable, helpful, and able to advocate for her clients. We honestly couldn't have gotten our home without her!

Keane Ng

There are 3 main things I hope to get from a trusted professional: 1.) Service 2.) Knowledge 3.) Ethics Jana exmplifies greatness in all three. She works hard for your best interests and is solely focused on doing a job well done. I'm happy to refer clients to her who need to buy or sell real estate.

Lynn Knowles

Jana is awesome to work with...very professional and has excellent communication skills. I look forward to working with her again!

robert bliesner

I was referred to Jana from several people from our church who have used her services to buy or sell a house(s). I found her very professional and I received very good advice from her. The house went on the market on a Wednesday and we received and accepted my asking price offer within a week. The house closed in roughly 6 weeks. A very pleasant experience. Jana took out a lot of the pain of selling our home of 45 years.

Sharon Clark

Jana & Bri did a great job helping us find “just the right house “ that we could call home. Her patience , reassurance & knowledge of the area & resources was perfect for us. This was the 3rd real estate transaction with Jana in the last 10 years and we were just as pleased with the process as the first time! Would recommend her anytime!

Travis Coffey

Jana was referred to us through a friend. She is very hard working and quick to reply to any questions we had. She helped us find a wonderful home which fit our family's wants, needs, and price point. Jana won us over with her professionalism, understanding of the housing market and buying process, and her positive attitude! If you are looking to buy or sell a house, I would highly Jana Schmidt.

Joe Sanchez & Associates

We had the pleasure of working with Jana and her team on two transactions. They were professional, had great follow through and were excellent to work with. We hope to work with them again.

Wade Pennington

Great page Jana. Lots of great information. Thank you!

Tasha Franklin

Jana and Bri helped my family buy our first home but more importantly they helped us live a dream. The house is more than we could have imagined and the process was as stress free as buying a house can be. The experience and knowledge these two have is priceless. Not to mention Jana actually took the time to TEACH my partner and I about the process. I have been sharing her wisdom nuggets with everyone because knowing the important aspects of this is really empowering. Having an amazing agent on your side changes this experience and allows you to trust the process, even from out of state, and ensures you only buy the home you love. You can't go wrong with this team, they are incredible professionals and even better they are incredible people.

Connie Tooke

Jana Schmidt is an excellent realtor. Not only does she know her business inside and out, she is a pleasure to be around. Jana cares about every person involved in the process and seeks to satisfy her clients needs and wishes. She is detail oriented and is always finding new ways to provide the best service. Jana is involved in continuing her education so she is on top of her craft. We highly recommend Jana Schmidt for all your real estate needs. Give Jana a call and see for yourself!

Nyssa Baugher

Working with Jana was a joy. She has a never say die attitude, which in this market helps a lot. I hope to work with her on more transactions, and look forward to when we meet face to face. Cheers

Michael M

There are many great realtors. Then there are the Michael Jordan and Tom Brady of the industry. That's who Jana is. A constant pursuit of excellence. She makes the difficult looks easy, and that is what the best of the best do. It is not easy to do without the endless hours of work that nobody sees to be ready for the moment. If I am going to pay someone to sell my house that's who I would want. Thank you for everything and everything to come.

Gary Nims

Jana just represented the buyer for my Rolling Hills listing. It was an incredibly competitive situation. I had 12 other brokers representing buyers pleading to help them win the seller's home. Jana came in and professionally negotiated, coached her clients and left everyone else in the dust. What a great job, Jana! It was a seamless transaction and as smooth as they come. They even closed early. I'd work across from you any time, Jana...buyer or seller.

Lance Owens

Jana Schmidt Realtor, I have had the pleasure of working with Jana in the Real Estate industry this year. Her professionalism and knowledge is top notch and she will make you feel right at home with the assurance you need for peace of mind. Great communicator, hard working and I would highly recommend Jana on your next purchase, or listing.. Thank you very much Jana. Lance Owens

Hailey Dalton

When my husband and I were thinking about selling our home, we interviewed a few realtors. When Jana came into our home for the first time, we knew she was the one. She came and presented us with a packet of information about the real estate market and our home value based on her current analysis. We didn't ultimately pull the trigger on selling until about 8 moths after this initial meeting, but when we called she was right on top of getting our home sold. Despite one buyer backing out, and working with an extremely difficult buyer's agent on our second contract, Jana kept poised, advocated for us, and ultimately got our home sold for the price we wanted. She has advised us, encouraged us, laughed with us, shared our frustrations, and celebrated with us once our home finally sold. Jana has a wonderful assistant, Mariah, who has been available when Jana isn't to keep us updated on our home sale and to contact other agents for showings in the event that Jana is out of town. Mariah has been a pleasure to with with as well. Jana is now working on getting our family into our next home, and if I had to go back to the beginning of what has now been a 5-month process, I would choose Jana all over again. You really cannot put a price on fantastic service and now, friendship. I would absolutely tell anyone thinking of selling or buying a home in the greater Seattle area to give Jana a call. You will not be disappointed.

I am so greatful that I had the opportunity to work with Jana in selling my first home. Every little detail is covered when you work with this team! Thank you so much for making this experience so amazing.

christopher james

I was fortunate recently to work with Jana in buying my first home. Based on that experience, if you are looking for a Realtor, I can only HIGHLY encourage you to contact Jana. As a first time buyer I found that she was very patient and thorough in making me feel at ease with the process and the details involved. Her experience and home buying "street smarts" were invaluable in determining how appropriate a property might be for my needs. Jana is also a great advocate for the buyer. Given today's crazy market we encountered several situations that were a bit out of the ordinary. Jana was able to handle them professionally, maintaining a strong stance for me, the buyer, while shielding me from the stresses of coming to a resolution. Plus Jana is just FUN to spend time with! Long story short, you'd be missing out with another agent.

Vu Nguyen

Jana has an incredible wealth of knowledge of how to take great care of the buyer AND seller clients! I always say after attending one of classes, "I wish I can record this class" because there's so much great info and the notes that she provides the attendees don't quite capture all of how great her classes are!

Amy Frank

"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."

Megan Bublitz

As a first time home buyer looking into today's competitive market, I had no idea where to start. Luckily for me, a friend recommended Jana, and after an initial meeting, I knew I had found the best person to help me find my first home. Jana walked me through every part of the homebuying process and made sure I understood each step on the way. She made me feel confident in my decisions and important as a client, even after I purchased my home. She went above and beyond all of my expectations from start to finish. I am now a proud homeowner and would recommend Jana to anyone from first-time home buyers to someone looking for a retirement home, and everywhere in between.

Ella Howell

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 :)

Steven Delabertauche

I want to thank you for all your help on the property at Coverington. You gave 100% and nothing was to hard. Next time I buy, I will be in touch again.

Kefyalew Kassa

My family and I are very grateful on her outstanding service, knowledge and patience throughout the whole process of buying our second home. It has been quite a humble experience the professionalism that she exhibited for us even when we were changing our mind a couple times in the middle of the closing process. No wonder why her ratings are so high. I highly recommend Jana for anyone and family members.

Keaton Dacanay

My husband and I were clueless going into our first home purchase. Jana was knowledgeable, patient, persistent, and encouraging throughout the process. We are grateful for her outstanding service and will highly recommend her to anyone.

Karay Pichler

I had the privilege of working with Jana and Mariah on a transaction and enough great things cannot be said about the Jana Schmidt Real Estate team!!! They are an incredibly dedicated, talented and passionate team of individuals striving to serve and exceed the needs of our home buying/selling community! Absolutely phenomenal people, excited to work with them in the future and continue to be a positive impact for our community :)

Tom S.

Wow, what a dream team! We live in Florida, and stressed about selling our home long-distance. But Team Jana (& Bri) made every single step simple: contractor repairs, comp updates, amazing staging, and long-distance document signing. With extraordinary service and top-notch computer skills, their magical expertise made this a no-stress adventure. The advice we received along every step was spot-on! We honestly felt like VIPs.

Joe Perkins

We just got done doing a great transaction with Jana and her team. I was the buyers agent on the other side and they were a pleasure to work with. Very professional and easy to work with. Wish all our transactions could have professionals like Jana on the other side. Looking forward to our next deal!

Emily Gunn

Jana helped me buy my first place and it was a wonderful experience. She was recommended to me by a friend who described her services as a, "boutique experience." I was nervous about the experience and thought that there was no way I was really going to be able to find a place but Jana met with me very early on just to educate me about the process and assure me that I could do it. Jana is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, communicative, and helpful. She and her assistant went above and beyond throughout the entire process, and even after. She treated me so well that I felt like I must be special, but I know that's how she is with everyone. I told her that I was actually sad to have found a place because that I meant I was no longer working with her. I highly recommend working with Jana and her assistant.

Gacha_Potato

Jana is awesome !!!! She has been on top of everything from the details of selling our home to helping us search for a new home!!! We love her and would recommend her to anyone selling and /or buying a home! She has made our experience so wonderful and stress free !! We would give her 100 + stars if we could!!!!!!
