Janet Bell helped me find a home on Mercer Island. Having grown up and lived on Mercer Island, she was extremely knowledgeable about the the market and different neighborhoods we were looking in. She is very well connected with the community and other agents in the area. It took us several months to find our perfect house, as we were on a strict budget and quite particular about what type of house we were looking for. Janet was patient with us throughout the process, never pressuring us into a situation we didn't want to be in while simultaneously giving us much of her time in evenings and weekends in search of a home. After our offer was accepted, Janet took the reigns on making sure several issues were addressed prior to closing. She helped us find movers, painters and a contractor for our new home to do some work after we moved in. In all, she went above and beyond what you could expect from an agent and made our first time home purchase a smooth experience. I cannot imagine a better person to help guide you through a home buying/selling process!
