Testimonials

Janet went above and beyond my expectations in the process of selling my townhouse, especially considering her extensive knowledge of strata.

Initially, it seemed a rather daunting experience moving from my home of 45 years, but with Janet's understanding of the housing market and her attention to detail in every aspect, made for a smooth transition.  She tirelessly assisted me also in locating a suitable rental for my new residence that would also take my two canine kids.

I would definitely recommend Janet, no matter the challenge, to anyone looking for a realtor.  What a memorable, exciting experience I had with Janet as my realtor.

Gold standard in real estate. I can’t say enough about the lengths Janet & Jim went to in order to complete our sale. They weren’t afraid to get in there to make it happen, had great contacts and suggestions for assistance, and were always available and willing to help out. They had such a good sense of what was needed – they took charge when they could see that we required assistance, but deferred to us when we had our own ideas. They were not forceful in their opinions and directions, but were diplomatic, thoughtful, and caring … then a power house negotiator when it came to making a deal. They had the tenacity and stamina to stay focussed despite all of our significant setbacks and the involvement of so many family members.

… And all of this, with a smile on their faces, positive attitude, and killer sense of humour.  I would definitely recommend them. Team Awesome!

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Janet Seney and Jim Van Der Tas when selling my home.  Their dedication to making everything 'just right' was admirable, and the attention to detail was amazing.  When I originally thought the house was presentable, Janet always found a way to make it even more so!  Janet completely understood how stressful a time it can be when selling. As a result, everything was explained clearly to me from the very beginning, and to say the whole process went smoothly is an understatement.   For professionalism and complete care when buying or selling a property, I highly recommend using Janet and Jim's services; you won’t be disappointed.

The prospect of selling my town house to move closer to family was daunting. Fortunately I had the help and expertise of Janet Seney and Jim van der Tas. Janet’s knowledge and attention to detail helped to prepare my place to look its best for the expertly taken photos and presentation materials. All my questions were answered completely and understandably. She helped me feel confident to make all the many decisions that come up during such a sale. She was always prompt answering emails and phone calls and meticulous in reviewing all paperwork. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble if it would assist me to feel comfortable moving ahead. I highly recommend that you choose Janet and Jim to assist you with the sale or purchase of your home. Plus she was an absolute pleasure to work with!

The partnership with Janet worked wonderfully. I stress it was a partnership. I never felt like I was being pushed or under stress to make decisions. Janet provided thoughtful guidance throughout the process. She was totally on top of the paperwork. But she also listened to my agenda and what I wanted to do and blended that with her experience. Highly recommend Janet if you are buying or selling or just need advice.

I would highly recommend Jim & Janet to all those wanting to buy or sell a home. As a first time or a repeat home buyer/seller, you are always nervous and filled with mixed emotion. All of my stresses and questions were eased with the help and support of Jim & Janet. They took the time to get to know us, what we were looking for and educated us on the process of buying/selling a home. Their enthusiasm, knowledge of the market and the art of negotiation made a very stressful time easy and actually fun!  They made sure that we were up to date on the current real estate market and ensured that we remained within our budget. Jim & Janet have also built a first class network of professionals in the real estate industry that they can refer people. I asked them if they could recommend a mortgage professional to us. The Mortgage Specialist that they had contact me offered us a better deal than the bank I have been banking with my whole life.  If you need any type of professional that has some association to the real estate industry, I urge you to ask Jim or Janet if they can recommend anyone to you.

Janet Seney was our efficient realtor when we bought our first townhouse.  I was impressed with her from start to finish.  She was prompt in arranging viewings for properties that interested us.  She was punctual; she was well organized and we kept to her schedule, allowing us to view all the properties in one day.  She provided us with a lot of current sales information to help us decide on a price.  When our offer was accepted with conditions, she reviewed the Strata documents in detail, as we did, and interpreted them for us.  She was very knowledgeable.  She was a dedicated communicator.  Any conversations between the seller’s realtor and Janet were relayed to us.  We were never left wondering.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

After living in our family home for 45 years we had to downsize due to health issues.  Needing an expert real estate agent we were lucky to connect with Janet Seney.  We couldn’t have asked for a more professional, diligent, understanding and compassionate person to help us through the complexity of today’s real estate market.  Janet took complete care of all aspects involved with selling our home with unwavering efforts and dedication.  Thanks to her we were able to sell in a timely manner with an excellent outcome.  We highly recommend Janet if you are considering selling and / or buying.  Not only is she an expert in her field, she’s also very kind and such a pleasure to work with.
