“The day I contracted with Jane, I received 3 offers by the end of the day. I got 24 in one week. The winning bid was almost 20% more than asking price, and Jane managed the entire process from escrow to helping me and someone to hold an estate sale. Today is 22 days after we met. The sale has closed and money is in my bank account. It takes a consummate professional to see the opportunity and to make it happen. Jane Gavens did it for me, and I am very lucky to have had her on my side.” -Harold P.
“Jane Gavens has worked with my family on a variety of real estate transactions in Los Angeles. She is the utmost professional – respectful of our time, efficient, and discreet. She’s also a great listener and highly empathetic – whether in buying or selling a home, we knew we could rely on Jane to be open and straightforward in helping to assess our options. Finally, she’s patient! At one point, we took two years to make a decision to buy a home. At another, we walked away from a nine figure deal at the last minute. Through it all, Jane was our friend first, and our agent second. We look forward to working with her again in the future!” -Bo S.
