We recently had the pleasure of working with JaneEllen Saums to purchase a condo for a familymember. Not only is JaneEllen professional, prompt and thorough, she is a great listener and helpedus to prioritize our various goals to locate the right property for our needs. She also guided us todevelop the winning bid for a very competitive property. Her calm and caring demeanor made ourexperience stress free. We would highly recommend JaneEllen Saums.

We had a great time selling our house for the price we hoped for. Selling was tough because wewere out of the US. JaneEllen made a detailed plan for getting the house ready to sell and got usgood contractors by comparing different offers. I'd happily work with JaneEllen again.

We really hit the jackpot when we picked JaneEllen as our real estate agent. She was an exemplar ofall the knowledge and skills and experience that an agent can offer to a prospective seller, and shewas a real pleasure to work with. She provided us with a broad perspective on the realities ofpreparing a house to be competitive in the market and finding exactly the right time to offer it forsale. She was always immediately available with help and advice when problems arose. Afteroffering excellent guidance on remodeling our property, she prepared a beautiful presentation of thehouse when all the work was completed, with pictures and videos and a comprehensive descriptionfor potential buyers. Once the house went on the market, it sold in only 4 days for well over the initialasking price! We certainly could not have done it without her and we will always be grateful.

If you are looking for a realtor in the DMV area, look no further. JaneEllen provides top-tier professional realty services. We sold our condo remotely and JaneEllen impeccably managed the entire process from start to finish. Her understanding of the market is data driven; as such, the pricing was right and we were under contract in less than 48 hours. This process was remarkably easy and stress-free, all thanks to JaneEllen's guidance. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services. Thank you!

We decided to hire JaneEllen when we saw another house around the corner for sale about one year before we wanted to put our house on the market.  She came over, went through our house, and gave us wonderful tips on what we needed to do to maximize our sale price.  She returned multiple times during the 10 months we worked with her to get our house ready for sale.  Her tips were right on target and we ended up selling our home for more than anticipated, due in large part to the suggestions she made for repairs, painting etc.  JaneEllen is thorough and thoughtful and easy to work with.  We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell or buy.

JaneEllen Saums was my Realtor® to sell my Alexandria home. She is terrific! She is professional, knowledgeable, patient and a joy to work with. I was quite stressed about the sale and she talked me "off the ledge" several times in her extremely calm manner. I strongly recommend JaneEllen when buying or selling.

The level of service was top-notch! JaneEllen was so responsive, efficient, knowledgable, and paid close attention to our needs. She made the whole process of looking for a new home easier. She guided us through with know-how! JaneEllen was wonderful to work with! She really listened and was patient.

JaneEllen is very easy to work with. For our recent sale , she was always available for input or guidance. I relied on her recommendations for every aspect of our move. She provided a thorough analyses for pricing the house, which proved to be spot on. After a year of planning for the sale, I was mote than a little anxious after we listed the house. JaneEllen was a stable and calming influence for me . I wholeheartedly recommend JaneEllen. 

JaneEllen’s been a wonderful friend for years! JaneEllen went above and beyond in all aspects of the sale. It was excellent, and we recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home. We also received more than the asking price.

JaneEllen was the consumate professional real estate agent.  I would sign her again to sell any property that I own.  She was always on time for all appointments, and did whatever she mentioned or promised to do.  Her advice was impeccable.  When we were nervous, she calmed us down and told us to be patient, and she was right.  I will recommend her to all of my friends selling their residences.

I would recommend JaneEllen wholeheartedly. We'd used her in the past to put our townhome on the rental market, and this year to sell our home before an overseas move. Both times she provided excellent service, even going the extra mile to fix a few minor things for us after we flew overseas, so that we could close on time. She helped us secure a great price and buyer for our home in a market that was starting to crash, and communicated with us regularly through the process- an ocean away! Highly recommend her.

Good knowledgeable realtor agent.  She met with us several times as we were not familiar with selling a home (we've lived here in the same house for over 40 years).  Gave us good advice.  She and Joan Bready, her partner, are a good set.  They sold our house in one day.

JaneEllen was great. She provided amazing marketing information for our house sale. We were out of the country during the open house and offering stage but she kept us updated the entire time. We appreciated the small touches and checking on the house. The offer was more than we expected and the entire process was super easy. She is top-notch personally and professionally!

I found JaneEllen to be highly professional and helpful along each step of the way in selling my condo. JaneEllen was quick to respond to all of my questions and to the ever-changing real estate market. Her suggestions along the way were thoughtful and she did not hesitate to seek advice from other professionals, as needed. JaneEllen was calm, knowledgeable, and creative as she worked to sell my condo within the time frame that was best for me. I highly recommend JaneEllen Saums for your next real estate need. It was a pleasure working with her.

JaneEllen provided me with excellent service throughout the sale of my condo. From the initial meeting conducting the walk through, taking me through the process, support with staging suggestions, guiding me through each step of the sale, addressing my questions on required documents, etc., their attention, responsiveness, and professionalism were incredible and I truly appreciate their value.

JaneEllen Saums was my realtor from April 15 through June 10, 2021. She is very intelligent, wise, knowledgeable, and personable. These are all excellent traits to seek in a realtor. One never knows what curveballs might come your way when you buy and/or sell a home. No matter what happens, I found JaneEllen to be very even-keeled and a good problem solver. She has particular expertise in staging. I feel that her skills in this area allowed my home to sell quickly and at a much higher price than I anticipated. I can and will recommend JaneEllen to anyone wanting to buy and/or sell their home. You will be happy that you did!

I was an out of town buyer for a second home condo in NOVA. Jane Ellen was was able to steer me toward the best units for my price range and location. She responded quickly to all my questions and helped guide me through the closing process.

Very professional and informative through the whole process, and readily available to answer our questions and address any concerns that we faced.
