    We interviewed three well-qualified real estate agents before deciding to go with Jana, and are we ever glad that we did! Jana and her assistant Jill were great to work with from the start aEUR" providing expert advice when we needed it and were very available/communicative throughout the entire process. Jana combined expert marketing strategies (aEUR~coming soon on HAR to build anticipation; top-notch professional photos and video plus beautiful printed brochures; usage of web analytics and social media; etc.) with good old fashioned hard work and persistence (3 straight weekends of Open Houses and private showings during COVID) to get our house sold at a great price (above my expectations) in 3 weeks. We liked that Jana or Liz attended every Open House / showing to provide a personal touch and really point out our homes differentiators to potential buyers (other agents said they just use a lock box). Jana also recommended a smart listing price for our home, which ultimately made a big difference in our final sale outcome. Our house sold in 3 weeks for very close to our asking price; but what is significant aEUR" this price was actually $20k above the price that the other 2 agents we interviewed recommended that we list the property for! Bottom line aEUR" had we gone with someone other than Jana, I'm sure we would have settled on a price $20k+ less than we did. All in all, getting to the finish line of the sale was a very smooth and pain-free process. In my opinion, a fair amount of selling any property is having good luck (going to market at right time with right buyer looking). But in my opinion, Jana likely gives you the best shot at having that aEURoeluckyaEUR? outcome. Thanks Jana + Liz!

    My family was in the market to move and needed a realtor. We made a few cold calls and Jana was the only one to answer her phone and give us the time of day. We instantly connected and she blew us away with her thoroughness, attention to detail, punctuality, prompt responsiveness, and lovely personality. One big upside to having her is that she is a local Houstonian so her knowledge of the city is unbeatable. As a result, we bought & sold in less than a month all by the work of Jana. She was outstanding! She and her counterpart Liz are a wonderful, dynamic duo with the best customer service. I highly recommend considering her for your real estate needs! You will not be disappointed.

    I could not recommend Jana more highly. She jumped in and went above and beyond what I would have expected. Selling my home was an emotional experience for me and she made the entire process so much easier. She really listens, knows the market and what to do and will work hard for you. I did not know her before hiring her but now would definitely want to work with her if I were to ever sell again.

    Enthusiastic and ProfessionalOur house had been on the market for six months with no reasonable offers when we decided to interview other brokers. We found Jana and decided to trust her with the listing. She brought us a contract within a month that was what we wanted. Jana believed in the value of our home and was enthusiastic in showing it. She guided us through the sale as well as the purchase of our new home. We couldnt be happier with the way Jana handled both transactions and highly recommend her for anyones real estate needs.Harry Smith

    Jana listed and sold my townhouse in memorial and I could not have been happier with her professionalism, positive "can do" attitude and dedication to selling my home. My property needed a few simple updates, recommended by Jana, to appeal to potential buyers, her ideas were spot on and did not cost much money. I was very happy with the changes and her contractors. Jana has so much knowledge about my neighborhood, setting the correct listing price, and was in constant communication with me about showings providing feedback from buyers and other realtors. Anytime I had a question about a document, Jana was always able to explain things so I could understand. Even during this pandemic, she was able to get my house closed earlier than expected! I would highly recommend Jana Bruce to anyone looking for a home or trying to sell their property!
