JAN RAMSEY - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

Ultimate professional again!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! My wife and I, along with our three daughters/spouses have used Jan as our agent for more than a decade, and for 7 different transactions (and counting). Jan is the ultimate professional - both professional and personable. She gives great advice, and has the experience and level-headedness to put up with unreasonable expectations and outbursts - all while continuing to move the transactions to a close. In our current sale of our California house, Jan adjusted from the standard marketing approach to meet the unusual requirements we set on selling our house. And, after less than 10 days in a softening market, she brought an offer that met those requirements. Suspect our daughters will continue to work with Jan for their real estate needs - we will not as unfortunately, we are leaving the area.

Awesome Service!

She gave us a thoughtful analysis and insight on the local market! Highly recommend! We are lucky to have Jan help us buy a house in tri-valley. She gave us a thoughtful analysis and insight on the local market so we were able to buy the house with a reasonable price in a short time. She also helped us find great contractors to fix several issues of the house before and after moving in. She had been kind, patient and enthusiastic through the process. We could not be happier with her service. Highly recommend!

Jan went above and beyond when my wife and I looked to buy our first home.

Jan went above and beyond when my wife and I looked to buy our first home. This was back in 2013 - and we've managed to stay close with Jan through all these years. That's the type of service you can expect when working with Jan. In fact, our experience with her was so good, that we referred our friends and parents to her, and she successfully got them into the homes they live in now. For those trying to buy their first home, they may not realize what an emotional ride the journey is - competing offers, rejection, etc. but Jan was with us 100% through the ride and we would not consider working with anyone else when the time comes to buy our next home.

Jan has helped us with three home transactions in the past 6-7 years, two purchases and one sale. She works harder and smarter than any agent I know, and is especially knowlegeable about the treacheries of the Northern California housing market. Jan will be constructive with suggestions to make a deal happen, but honest if she senses the deal is no longer in your best interest. I highly recommend Jan.

Jan is the definition of "supreme.

Jan is the definition of "supreme." We met her when we were initally looking to purchase our first home. She is the warmest, kindest, and best person to have on your side. We immediately signed with her after tepid experiences with about 10 other realtors we met through open houses. She is extremely knowledgeable on absolutely everything. Her experience shines and she is always graceful with her responses. We could not have done this without her; and despite the sale being done, she has stayed resilient and helpful through and through. We loved every minute with her. She made it easy and comforted and assured us every step of the way through her honesty and experience. We are so lucky to have met her and can't imagine having a more pleasant, knowledgable, reliable, and trustworthy realtor.

6 Reasons Why Jan Ramsey is the best realtor in the Bay Area 1.

6 Reasons Why Jan Ramsey is the best realtor in the Bay Area 1. Jan has made the home buying process simple and easy to understand. The way she explains everything, she explains it at our level of understanding especially since we are first time home buyers. 2. Especially if you're a first-time homebuyer, Jan will see whether you're ready to buy a home, or not. If you are deemed ready to buy a home, then it's smooth sailing from there. 3. Like any real estate transaction, having the best negotiator will help you get the best deal. Jan has not only helped us avoid mistakes when negotiating with the seller but has helped us obtain a great deal on our property. 4. Jan is not only your realtor, but she's also your friend. On holidays and house anniversaries, she'd drop off gifts on our door. Jan goes above and beyond and treats us like family. 5. When it comes to her work ethic, Jan is diligent. Because of that, the whole home buying process was smooth and surprisingly shorter than I expected. Hearing the experiences my friends had with buying a home, my experience with Jan was incomparable. Jan is professional and very consistent. This is why you must work with Jan. 6. If there is a nickname I can give Jan, it would be the "Google of Bay Area real estate." Why? Because she knows the ins and outs of Bay Area real estate. When searching for properties, she would give us insights that we wouldn't have found anywhere else. Altogether, if there is one real estate agent that I, my husband, and even my son, would ever want to work with, most definitely it is Jan.

I have worked with Jan on several real estate transactions, both as a listing agent and as a buying agent. I found Jan to be very knowledgeable, honest, thorough, and diligent. When pricing my home, she did her research and priced it accordingly. This made selling my house less stressful as I knew I would get top dollar for it. Jan saw me through every step of each transaction with a high level of professionalism. I highly recommend Jan for all your real estate needs.

Trusted Advisor.

We worked with Jan to purchase our first home a few years back and came back to work with her to purchase our long-term home. Jan was an excellent communicator and proactive. She is knowledgeable about the area and market. Buying a home in the post pandemic years has been quite a rollercoaster but Jan's help made the process smoother. Jan was acutely aware of our needs and balanced her advice about the market with our sensitivities around timing of the move. We recommend her to our family and friends as her knowledge of the Tri-Valley real estate market is unmatched.

In 2016 we relocated from NY to CA and needed a real estate agent to help us navigate finding a home.

In 2016 we relocated from NY to CA and needed a real estate agent to help us navigate finding a home for our family in a new state. Jan was recommended to us by a family friend who used to live in the Tracy area. We had reached out to a few other agents closer to where we were looking before getting Jan's information and were feeling let down since we were not getting timely responses. Jan was always quick to get back to us and spent time getting to know what we needed. We only had a short weekend to find something and Jan was very helpful in bringing us to many different places. Once we made an offer, Jan handled everything for us since we were back in NY and did not arrive in CA until after closing. She was at the property for the inspection, walk through, and even got our locks changed for us so everything was ready when we arrived. We have been out here for almost 4 years now and Jan still checks in on us to see how we like CA (we love it!) and how we are all doing. Moving across the country with two small children can be a very daunting experience and Jan's calm, yet take-charge demeanor made everything easier. The seller's real estate agent and the title company both commented about how lucky we were to have her in our corner. We whole heartedly agree.

Jan is the best!

Jan really went above and beyond was staying involved during the closing and post-closing process. Jan Ramsey helped us with a home purchase in the spring of 2022, our second home purchase with Jan. She is everything you could ask for in a realtor! Jan is thorough in providing lot of options and information during the search, asks questions and listens to feedback to narrow down the search as needed. She followed up with us regularly and seemed to be available whenever we had time to look at a house or had questions about the market or a particular property. She is very up to date on market trends, and in the know about upcoming properties. When we found a place we loved, Jan did everything we needed to get the offer and counteroffers done quickly, helping us quickly understand all the documents and reports and contingencies (and again being always available) so we could move fast. Where Jan really went above and beyond was staying involved during the closing and post-closing process. She helped us tremendously with inspections, repairs, and even understanding new items or issues in this house that we hadn't run into with our prior house. Jan is truly a full-service agent that we know we can count on and really enjoy working with!

You couldn’t pay me to use anyone but Jan!

She is above all ethical, honest and responsive. You couldn’t pay me to use anyone but Jan! She is above all ethical, honest and responsive. I have referred her to many and I’d not consider anyone else to have her standards! For her it’s about what’s right for you, not about $$ for her; and that’s hard to find in a stellar realtor!

Last month, she helped us sell my mother’s condo after she passed away.Jan is knowledgeable, organized and thoughtful. She also was conscientious about keeping us informed every step of the way.

"I was introduced to Jan from a friend who had utilized her services in the past. Little did I know the expertise that Jan would bring to bear. Jan negotiated the sale of my house to a novice buyer and agent. Jan not only held her cool in the face of their inexperience in the process, but also helped them research information concerning the property that they were unable to properly research on their own. Of course, their inexperience did not just effect Jan, but I was losing patience with certain aspects as well. Jan really helped me understand the situation and helped me stay calm and business like. Jan would be an essential partner to any buyer or seller. The experience and professionalism she brings to the table is second to none."

"We met Jan at an open house while shopping for our first home over five years ago. That house ended up not being perfect for us, but Jan was. As first time buyers, she helped us navigate the search, selection, and closing process. It was likely a small potatoes deal for her, but it never felt that way— she gave us the time, consideration, and respect to make us feel confident and at ease for the entire process.Jan stayed in touch over the years, and it was honestly a delight whenever we'd hear from her. Yes, she checked in on our needs, but the focus was always on how we were doing as people.When it came time for our family to upgrade to a larger space in a better location for commuting this year, it was a no-brainer to call Jan. Together, she helped us place an offer on a new house - contingent on the sale of our current house - with a narrow window and little to no room for error. We didn't even have to have a second open-house.Her expertise is evident. There was never a moment when she didn't immediately have an answer or a plan. In my experience, that's not something that can be taught. If there's a one sentence statement to vouch for her it's this: Jan has a wonderful quality of under-promising and over-delivering, and deliver she did."
