ZillowVERIFIEDJane did an amazing job selling our home. It went live on the real estate sites on Saturday and we had two offers by Sunday, one of which we accepted. She priced the home correctly, and walked us step by step through each stage until closing.
ZillowVERIFIEDJane is a great realtor and such a fun person to work with. She is very knowledgeable, insightful, she has made the home-buying process for my fiancA(C) and I as stress-free as it could be! At the end of the process, it felt as if though we became friends. Jane is the kind of realtor (and person) who just wants the best for her clients and it shows through her work ethic. Thank you Jane!
ZillowVERIFIEDOver the past several years I have sold two homes and bought two homes in Batavia, Geneva and St. Charles with Jane as my realtor. I would highly recommend Jane to others. She is a very friendly kind person and a GREAT realtor. She has a solid understanding of the west suburban Chicago market and makes the process of buying and selling easy. She has given me great recommendations on successfully selling 2 of my homes quickly. She also quickly develops a good understanding of what type of home your looking for to help you find the best home to purchase. Regardless of how busy she is, she is ALWAYS responsive and makes you feel as if you are her only client. She usually has immediate answers or suggestions to all your questions or concerns right off the top of her head based on her experience. You cannot go wrong choosing Jane as your realtor.
ZillowVERIFIEDJane was excellent from the first moment we met. She came highly recommended to us by people in our neighborhood. She was professional, friendly and always answered our questions with honesty, patience and respect. Her market expertise and strong relationships in the industry are second to none! We thought selling our house would be very stressful; however, with Jane's help it was so easy! In fact we sold it in 4 days! We're so thankful that we decided to go with Jane. We can't recommend her enough!
ZillowVERIFIEDIn fall of 2023, after my mom passed away and my dad moved into assisted living, I used Jane to help sell my dads house. During a stressful year for me, working with Jane was truly a bright spot. She made the process extremely easy on me and guided me through everything that needed to be done. I never had to stress or worry about anything. I live out of state and while my initial meeting with her was in person, everything following that was taken care of remotely. She sold our home quickly and also helped find a home for some of our furniture so it didnt go to waste. Jane is calm, organized, moves quickly while remaining diligent and thorough in her research, and made thoughtful adjustments to our strategy once more information was gathered. Jane was an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a great experience searching for and finding our new home as well as selling our current home with Jane. She is knowledgeable, experienced, attentive, a strong communicator and was very patient and helpful during our search for just the right property for us. It was a pleasure to work with Jane every step of the way.
ZillowVERIFIED5 stars all around! Jane is truly the best agent. This is our second home purchase with her as our agent. She genuinely cares about her clients and always has your best interest in mind. Her frequent communication makes it so the process is as smooth as it can be. I know we are in the best of hands when we have Jane as our agent. Absolutely recommend!
ZillowVERIFIEDJane truly was wonderful during the home buying process!! Being a first-time home buyer in this insane market was very scary, I don't think I could have done it without Jane as my realtor. She was able to answer any question and extremely flexible. She has a lot of resources that assisted in making the process so much easier! If you are looking for a realtor look no further than Jane! 100/10 absolutely the best!!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure of working with Jane to purchase our first home, and while relocating to a new state. From our first conversation and throughout the entire process, Jane was professional, highly knowledgeable, always available, and made sure we always felt like a priority. She made the process so easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. Jane went above and beyond for us by taking care of things locally, while we were out of state preparing for our move. Jane is amazing and we highly recommend her. We will certainly work with Jane in the future should we have any real estate needs.
ZillowVERIFIEDJane was very helpful. She gave good advice on everything from listing price to negotiations with the buyer/buyers realtor, lawyers, and went out of her way to help when we were out of town.
ZillowVERIFIEDJane helped us set a record with the highest selling home in our neighborhood. Dedicated, Researched, and Seasoned: Jane was amazing! Where it takes days to hear back from realtors, Jane has responded within minutes, sometimes even seconds! I appreciate your help so much! Youre the first on my contacts list the next time I purchase or sell!
ZillowVERIFIEDJane worked with us for a while while we figured out just what we were looking for, and then, in this wild market, helped us find it. She was calm and patient and continued to say, aEURoeI want you to find the right house.aEUR? And we did. We spent so much time with her we miss her now that weve closed!
ZillowVERIFIEDOur home sold in less than 24 hours to the third showing wed scheduled. I could end this review there, but theres more to know. Jane is knowledgable and professional, yet amiable. She is very responsive and committed to managing a successful transaction. When issues arose, she not only responded quickly, but had an impressive list of other professionals to provide either consultations or remediation. She provided advice based on her extensive experience, but also listened to our feedback and made adjustments as necessary. If youre looking for a realtor, Jane should be at the top of your list.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs it had been quite some time since I had sold or purchased a home, and given the crazy current real estate market, I knew I needed someone who was not only knowledgeable but could also keep on top of all the fast-moving parts in order to sell my parents' home. Not only was this transaction my responsibility as trustee of the estate, it also presented many emotional elements for me. Jane came through in all ways possible -- keeping me focused on the ultimate goal while still acknowledging and respecting the personal struggles of selling my folks' home. She provided me with great information and input through continuous personal contact. While the decision was made to sell the home "as is," and it posed an additional challenge of finding comparable homes in the area to support the asking price, through Jane's over and above efforts, we were ultimately successful. The home sold with few delays, and the final price was all that I could have hoped for which allowed me to feel confident in the outcome on behalf of the estate. Jane did not hesitate to offer her thoughts and opinions, but was also completely open to my input as well. She always listened to my comments and, more importantly, heard what I had to say. By doing so, Jane allowed me to feel as though we were a team, working toward the same goal, and I am completely grateful for her assistance.
ZillowVERIFIEDBeing new to the area it was such a delight to meet Jane at the first open house I attended. She let me look around and answered questions without any effort to push me into buying the property. Once my lease was getting close to expire, I asked Jane to help me search for my new home. Jane set up an online search criteria so that I would know right away when a property was about to be listed and if it met my needs. Whenever I had questions, Jane responded quickly and with care since she knew the market was a hot sellers' market and we had to be quick with our searches if something popped onto the market that I liked. Even after closing on the property Jane was (is) still accessible and responds to questions that arise with the property. If or when I decide to sell my property I will definitely work with Jane again if she is still working as a Realtor. She was knowledgeable and pleasant to work with.
ZillowVERIFIEDJane is very easy to work with, knowledgeable, professional yet friendly. Jane really cares about finding the home thats right for you and getting the best price for the home you are selling. I highly recommend Jane Ruda. Shes the best!
ZillowVERIFIEDJane was exceptional in helping us with our home purchase. We had the best experience of buying our new dream home! She responded very quickly to all of our calls and messages and was on top of the paperwork and process! She is very knowledgeable on the local market trends and the industry as a whole. She knew all the ins and outs of every neighborhood/subdivision or house we entered. She was so easy and fun to work with. There was never a time that she couldn't respond to our question or offer resources to help. We couldn't imagine using anyone else!
ZillowVERIFIEDJane came very well prepared at initial meeting. She knew the area and comps. Always available and supportive. Flexible in all processes involved. Worked well with lawyer and other realators
ZillowVERIFIEDJane is excellent at her job. She took her time and worked with me to find a home. Jane is patient, easily available, fun to work with and very knowledgeable! She explained the process along the way and was able to answer/get back to me with any and all questions. I would absolutely recommend her!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe retained Jane Ruda as listing broker for my elderly mother as she was going through the absolute worst possible situation. The details of the situation were frankly unbelievable involving medical issues, divorce, fraud, theft, court orders, substantial property damage that needed renovation after the contract and more. All while Covid-19 was wreaking havoc on the world and my mother was in rehab and nursing facilities. I happen to be a 20+ year broker license myself and have served as a managing broker for most of that time. Being too far away to handle a sale in St. Charles I researched area brokers and sought recommendations eventually deciding Jane was what we needed. I know what a great broker does and is; Jane Ruda is just that. This was the most difficult transaction I have ever seen or heard of and Jane did an amazing job in near impossible circumstances. She went beyond on almost a daily basis to make this easier on my mother and me as we worked through months of legal and insurance battles. If you need a tremendous REALTORA(R) for you or a family member, look no further than Jane Ruda; you will be thrilled with your choice.
ZillowVERIFIEDJane Ruda is the real deal! She has tact, is kind, & is feisty as needed. She's not afraid to jump in & help keep things moving. Always on time, always considerate. Highly recommend!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe dealt long distance with Jane and it was nice to have someone with a lot of local knowledge. She was also excellent at communicating back and forth with us and other realtors and the attorneys. Very reliable. She got it done for us. A successful sale completed - even with a few hiccups - Jane took it all in stride and handled it professionally.
ZillowVERIFIEDIn all of our house buying and selling over the years, we have never worked with a realtor who worked as hard for us as Jane. She had the ability to go at whatever pace we needed from finding our forever home to finding renters for our old home once we missed the selling season. Once the time was right, we got the call from Jane to relist and before we knew it, our old home was sold. What could have been a painful process was seamless because of Janes great communication skills and professionalism. Cannot recommend Jane enough to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDJane helped us beyond expectation. We are out of state returning home and she went above and beyond to help us when we could not be there in person. She learned our wants and expectations and continued to offer possible solutions to our search continuously. She is not only a great agent but a great person. She got to know our family and friends who all helped and treated each like long time friends. We could not be happier with the results and highly recommend Jane for the area, for the process and if you need someone who will understand what you are looking for. Thank you Jane!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe met Jane a few years ago when we spontaneously stopped by an Open House that she was showing. We didnt like the house and werent really sure if we were ready to REALLY start house shopping, but we LOVED Jane. She was the best accidental find. After meeting her, we decided it was like a sign to start looking for our forever home. She found us wonderful properties to look at and was incredibly helpful (and patient!) throughout the process. We chose to rent our old home for the last few years. But when it came to selling, we knew that Jane was the one we wanted as our realtor. She was very knowledgeable about the area and comps. She gave us great suggestions to make our sale more successful. Our house was on the market for less than a week when we got our first offer. We credit that to Jane. Since we met her, we recommend her to anyone considering using or selling their home. Jane has always been helpful, patient, kind, and wonderfully communicative throughout the entire process - both times!
ZillowVERIFIEDwe are extremely happy with Jane as our seller agent and rec without any reservations. She helped us with every step until we closed on our house. She is reliable knowledgeable and professional
ZillowVERIFIEDI will definitely recommend Jane Ruda to anyone looking to buy their home, especially newly weds couples buying their first home. Jane kept us informed with all the information and progress on her side, on the sellers side and on the lawyers side. We took forever to decide on a house that my wife and I both really liked and Jane was there through out the process. She never once got discouraged or bored with us and handed us to other agents and for that WE THANK YOU JANE!! First time home buying can be very stressful but Jane was there to make sure that the process becomes easy and stress free.
ZillowVERIFIEDJane provided excellent support throughout the whole process. Since we were out of the states for about a month , Jane provided additional services of checking our house and providing access. Jane also provided some of her own items of decor for staging the house.
ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Jane was an absolute pleasure. After interviewing 4 different real estate agents to sell my home, I decided to go with Jane. Jane takes the time to fully explain the details during each step of the process. She has extensive knowledge of the industry, with great connections, professional and respectful. She dedicates her time to ensure the process is smooth and stress free. Always available to answer calls or via text. I would definitely recommend Jane to anyone looking to sell or buy.
ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Jane was amazing. We met Jane at an open house before we had committed to any realtor and by the time we left we knew we had found the realtor that we've look for, we knew she would find the perfect home for us. Jane is a true professional in every sense of the word, her knowledge of real estate in the Fox Valley area is remarkable and highly recommend her.
ZillowVERIFIEDAfter a previous agent had our house listed for months without any prospects, Jane sold my home in a few short weeks .She helped with staging and useful tips which I believe made my home sell fast .
ZillowVERIFIEDIt was my first time selling a home. Jane explained everything perfectly and was able to guide me through the process so I felt comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDI am so glad I called Realtor Jane Ruda to list my home for sale. Her knowledge, marketing plan, and negotiating skills are top notch. Jane knows who to call for whatever needs to get done. She sold my home in 3 days for very close to asking price. She even assisted to put me in touch with a fabulous Realtor in the out of state city I was moving to! Moving is stressful enough but I was glad to have a Realtor like Jane on my side. Don't hesitate - call Jane Ruda!
ZillowVERIFIEDJane is very knowledgeable, efficient, and kind. She works very hard to help each individual client and answers all questions quickly and if she doesnt know the answer she will seek out the answer. I would totally recommend Jane!

ZillowVERIFIEDOutstanding service with Jane Ruda through the purchase of our new home and sale of our existing one. She provided: Comprehensive information on comps in the area for both dwellings. Followed-up with every realtor and prospective buyer who came through our old house. Provided references for quality tradesmen that we needed for house repairs/updates. Kept us apprised of changes in the housing market. I would highly recommend using her for your real estate needs.
