Janet was so helpful for us as first time homebuyers. She was patient, supportive and super communicative.

Janet went above and beyond helping us sell our condo in a difficult market. We appreciate her guidance and patience. She was very responsive and communicative.

Janet was always upbeat and worked hard to be sure that all of the detail documents were completed in a timely manner. She drove to my home several times to assure that all documents were understood and completed swiftly. She also kept me up with work that was getting done and made helpful recommendations to improve the attraction of the condominium. Couldn't have been better! Sincerely, Catherine Wiehe

Janet was excellent throughout. She listened to our requirements, had an ecosystem of talented colleagues that supported the marketing of the property, and she supported us throughout the whole process through to closure. Very knowledgeable and effective that made our sale a breeze.

Janet proved herself to be invaluable with our purchase of our beach house in Pajaro Dunes. It was not a simple transaction and required a lot of extra effort which she gladly provided without hesitation. She invested many hours finding a property for us and her enthusiasm never waned. We felt so good about Janet that we referred our daughter to her, and in short order, she found a very appropriate property for them which is now in escrow. We always felt that Janet truly cared and spoke honestly from her heart. She is a valuable asset on your team, and should be recognized as such.

Janet worked with me diligently for well over 3 years while I searched for a home near the ocean. She kept in touch, sent me listings and made countless arrangements to show me properties when I was in the area. Ultimately I located a home that had been pulled from the market. Janet went the extra   mile, kept in contact with the listing realtor and even got me an appointment to view the property before it hit the market again. She accommodated all of my requests, was always polished and professional and anticipated my needs, often before I even voiced them. Then she really went to work. After escrow closed, Janet assisted me by making appointments and suggested licensed contractors for the myriad of details and work that needed to be performed before we could move in. On several occasions, she volunteered to open the home so that contractors could perform the necessary work, waiting and then returning to lock up. Janet Russell goes the extra mile to not only provide her clients with updated information and service, but also takes the time to understand what you're looking for in your ideal home or property. She's insightful, organized, thorough and has an impressive understanding of the local market.

Janet is simply one of the best in the industry. She was referred to us through a friend and I'll be forever grateful for that introduction. For us, it wasn't just about finding a new home; we were moving across the country and needed to find the right community in an area we did not know.    Janet focused on really understanding our requirements so that when we did have time together in California we were efficient and focused only on properties that met our criteria; which she understood well. Equally as important, Janet was there for us post sale. This is a rare quality. She introduced us to other professionals (painters, contractors, dog walkers etc) that were equally as professional & focused on Customer Satisfaction over the long term. The entire experience was a pleasure. I would highly recommend Janet.

Janet recently helped us sell a property owned by our family. Her attention to detail and enthusiasm were great. She made some suggestions for small improvements that greatly enhanced the value of the property.

Janet has been more than helpful many times! When my husband and I were selling our home she was full of helpful tips and so many ideas I would have never thought of. She was so great about listening to every detail that our family needed and wanted in a home. She was always prompt on returning   calls and emails. Her knowledge and thoroughness is tip top. Janet is a very nice person and has a huge heart. I would highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

Our experience with Janet was exceptional. Relocating to Santa Cruz from several hours away, we found Janet to be efficient, responsive, and right on top of the fast-moving Santa Cruz real estate market. With Janet’s navigation, what might have been a challenging move for us was nearly seamless:   questions answered promptly, issues resolved quickly, details communicated efficiently. In short, Janet was wonderful! I have already had the opportunity to recommend Janet to a friend, and will do so again with confidence.
