ZillowVERIFIEDWe had an outstanding experience working with Janet Brand. She is diligent, detail-oriented, and incredibly hard-working, with a consistently positive and reassuring approach. Janet has a deep understanding of the local real estate market, and her advice was always strategic, practical, and well-timed. Her guidance on staging and pricing played a key role in achieving a fast and financially successful sale. Communication was excellent throughout; she kept us informed at every step, followed up promptly, and handled every detail with care. Janet also went above and beyond to help coordinate minor repairs and final preparations, making the entire process smooth and manageable. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and genuine commitment to her clients truly set her apart. We would highly recommend Janet Brand to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and exceptional real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet Brand is an outstanding realtor. She helped me with the sale of my home and was professional, knowledgeable, supportive, efficient and competent. She referred me to good people to help me prepare my home for sale, answered all of my questions, and was accessible and supportive. She negotiated a good price and did all of the hard work while I dealt with other things, and I am delighted with the outcome. I highly recommend her without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet helped my husband and I look for and eventually purchase our first home. She was always available by phone and returned calls/texts promptly. She always kept us in the loop with things and answered all of our questions. Janet has a great personality and made us feel comfortable during the entire process. We never felt pushed into anything like some agents can try to do for a sale. She really takes the time to listen to your wants/needs in a home and was always actively searching for homes for us. When we went to look at houses, she was always very detail oriented, knowledgeable, organized, thourough and pointed things out that my husband and I never would have thought to look at. She has great negotiating skills. My husband and I have been in our home for about 3 months now and couldnt be happier!

ZillowVERIFIED My journey with Janet Brand was so wonderful. She made home searching so easy. As a seasoned homebuyer, I was looking for specific things in my next home. She listened carefully to what I wanted and delivered! The houses that she showed me had the things I was looking for and at the price point we could afford. She consistently made herself available to take me to see any homes I came across on the listings, but also kept me up to date on any new homes that came on the market. She was also well versed in how different systems of the homes operated and referred me to reputable contractors for making the modifications I wanted. Her knowledge is impressive! She really made me feel like family and like I could count on her for anything, from finding the right house to helping you work to get the house ready to move in! Janet is a very hands-on agent. She took the initiative to remedy any issues that came up and knew just the right people to call. She really goes above and beyond her duties to help you find your house and making sure everything is safe for you and your family! I couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Janet! I would recommend her to all and everyone who is searching for their perfect home. I give her a big thanks for everything!Wilma Pabon Evans

ZillowVERIFIED Janet Brand soars to the pinnacle of excellence as a Real Estate Agent: A Realtor Par Excellence!! Although Janet sold me my original home, a new townhouse, many years ago and although I knew and respected Janet through our professional and community work together, I decided to conduct a thorough and exhaustive search for the aEURoeBest RealtorsaEUR? and aEURoeTop Selling RealtorsaEUR? in Westchester County. Additionally, I decided to interview a number of Realtors before deciding whom to select to sell my home. Janet Brand rose to the top in each search and then during my interviews.Once I selected Janet as my Realtor, she absolutely and unequivocally exceeded my highest expectations, truly!! Janet demonstrated her exemplary Real Estate skills as well as her insights and vision for what would be needed and how to achieve higher goals than anticipated. And she succeeded well beyond what seemed humanly possible!!I had shared with Janet that I wanted to sell my house aEURoeas isaEUR? without changing anything. She supported my interest overtly, yet she literally sent people to my home to adjust areas which I had not envisioned needed adjusting. She was correct on every issue and created the mechanisms to ensure that our goals would be exceeded.Janet Brand is an outstanding negotiator and succeeded admirably with the Buyerss Agents and made it all happen almost magically!! She is relentless in ensuring that her clients are shocked at her amazing accomplishments on their behalf!! Janet Brand often behaved as the best friend you could ever imagine and even as a sister!! She places her Clientss needs so far above her own that she appears selfless. She never waivers from doing what is best for her Client, even if it is at her own expense.I am convinced that Janet never eats or sleeps. For Janet, her profession is her lifes work and her Clientss satisfaction is a her focus. Plus she is so enthusiastic that her energy and joy are contagious!! It is difficult to find all the superlatives sufficient to describe Janet Brand. I am more than thrilled that I selected Janet Brand as my Realtor. You will be, too!!.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet was phenomenal with helping my wife and I find a home, especially during a pandemic - all protocols were followed to the letter, she was able to help us visit homes (including our new home!) multiple times, picking us up from the train station since we didn't have a car at the time, and was always extremely honest with us. This woman hustles, she was always available whenever we had questions. We are beyond thrilled with our home, and know she's the reason we found the perfect one!

ZillowVERIFIED Janet is the absolute best. She has many years of knowledge and experience and was so helpful in getting us our house. Four months into our new house, and Janet calls us and asks if we need anything...with two kids, the answer is usually yes! She is great, she is simply the best!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Janet is a great realtor. She knows the market, knows all the local regulations, has good suggestions for making a house sell. She worked with me for several years while I went back & forth on deciding to sell my house & was always helpful, never pushy. Additionally she has a great network of craftsmen she connected me with to help prepare the house for sale. I highly recommend her.

Janet is the best. There were 3 years between first talking about selling the house & finally selling it; Janet stuck with the project & was helpful throughout. Janet has access to an excellent set of craftsmen who worked on getting the house ready to sell; this was very helpful.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet is a consummate professional who knows the local real estate market very well. She was instrumental in providing guidance and workmen recommendations to address the cosmetic issues in the house we were selling. She helped us navigate the demands of the buyer in a way that was beneficial for both parties. She provided furniture and decorations for staging at no cost. She always responded to my inquiries in a fast and professional manner. Our house sale went very smoothly, thanks to Janet.I highly recommend Janet Brand for any real estate transaction you are considering.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet Brand helped us buy and sell two houses in Ossining over a period of 25 years ('95 and 2019). In both cases, she was attentive to our every need, offered incredibly valuable advice, and was unfailingly energetic in assisting us. She listened to what we thought we wanted, yes, but she also gave us very helpful advice on how to broaden our search and how to, finally, narrow it. She is an excellent negotiator, absolutely tireless for her clients. And if it's a Saturday night and you need advice and a trip to Home Depot...she's there for you! We recommend her without hesitation and would work with her again if we return to Westchester.

ZillowVERIFIED I couldnt expect better results from a sales agent. With Janets help & guidance, we sold our home faster and for a much better price than we ever expected. I cant remember one phone call she didnt pick up or respond to immediately. We felt aware of where we were in the process the entire time. Maybe most importantly, Janet is a kind and caring human being who has a selfless character. Janet - thanks for being on our team, and welcoming us to yours!

ZillowVERIFIED Janet is one of the hardest working real estate agents I have ever come across. She does everything for her clients and I mean everything. She knows everyone and has a contact for any need you may have. Her knowledge of the area is second to none. My husband and I had a tough time finding a house, and then an even tougher time closing after we were in contract due to a fairly unmotivated seller dealing with a second home. She stayed on top of the entire process and no detail was too small. If you're looking for a responsive, knowledgeable and personable agent then she's the right person for you. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

ZillowVERIFIED I was selling my deceased mother's home from 4 hours drive away, during Covid-19. Janet got us a painter and oversaw his work in detail; took care of staging; oversaw a junk company's clearout; mailed us photos we'd forgotten. She was a joy to work with and bent over backwards to keep me informed. She got us nearly $100000 more than I expected. Oh, and she made sure the oil company gave us full credit for the 7/8 full tank when they were going to say 10% full.

ZillowVERIFIED Selling a house is a daunting task, and having to do it during coronavirus was doubly so. I don't know how I would have done it without Janet's expert help and advice. She went above and beyond helping me with everything from staging the house to getting people in to view it, to dealing with my relocation company. She is also very responsive and knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate transactions. I highly recommend Janet whether you are looking to sell or buy in Westchester, especially in the Ossining area.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet was recommended to me by a friend, and I am glad I chose her! She helped me look at a lot of homes, was always available, and had incredible insight into the inner workings of the real estate market. Janet always seemed to have the "inside scoop" of what was going on with homes, their histories, and when to put in an offer. After closing Janet and I kept in touch and If I ever have any questions I know she will answer my call!

ZillowVERIFIED Janet is the hardest working agent I've ever met. I used her to both buy and sell my house and would without question enlist her services again. I contacted her while I was living overseas and I was in contract before I even got back. She worked tirelessly to ensure the place was in top shape for sale, even worked on some improvements herself, and also helped me sell some furniture. I cannot recommend Janet enough. If you're looking for an agent in the area, she is the one. You will not be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIED I sold my home and bought my new home with Janet. I can't say enough good things about her. She was there whenever I needed her and immediately took care of every problem that came up on both ends. She helped with my mortgage and even got me boxes and packing materials. She knows this market inside out and is a total professional. She went above and beyond and I highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet was absolutely amazing through the whole process of purchasing our home. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market, and she has excellent judgment, absolute integrity, endless patience, and good humor at all times. We trusted her completely during this process, and she did not let us down. We are now happily living in a home that is perfectly suited for our family, and we feel we paid a fair price. There were no surprises throughout the entire process because Janet kept us informed every step of the way, and consistently offered sound advice. She is a true professional who obviously loves what she does and cares deeply about her clients. I recommend her highly.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet was amazing in helping us find a house! She was always there to answer every question that I had! She knew everything about the area, and she always made time to show me whatever listing caught my eye! She was very insightful, and knew exactly what to look for in a house (things I never would have thought to ask about or look into on my own.) She was supportive and patient and the best realtor we've worked with (and we have worked with several after moving from state to state several times.) She helped us find a house that was perfect for our family in terms of size and price and location. I could not give her a stronger or more emphatic recommendation.

Janet made sure all our questions, simple and complicated, were answered and she helped us look out for any issues that us newbies may be unprepared for. We highly recommend Janet! She is a great member of the Ossining community and we love seeing her around the neighborhood once in a while!

Review for Member: Janet Brand
ZillowVERIFIED My family used Janet for both selling our coop and buying our house. Janet used her insights and experience to help guide us in making the right decisions. In selling our coop she had the insight to advise us when we had multiple bids to not dismiss the first buyer when we had a higher bid. Sure enough, the one with the higher bid took too much time to move and we were able to sell quickly with the first buyer. Where Janet really shines was when we were buying which I didn't expect to have been much harder. The market in our area was hot and having to deal with multiple bids is to be expected. Janet showed us countless homes but seemed to have insight how things will turn out in each one. She expected the prices to rise and advised us to not let go of particular house. She was able to hold us and the seller together during 6 months of negotiations. In the end, my family are very happy we took Janet's advice and we are in our perfect dream home. I give Janet all the credit for making that a reality. I've worked with other agents and I can swear that you'd want Janet on your side.

ZillowVERIFIED We used Janet to both sell our existing home and help us purchase a new home. For our sale she brought in a professional photographer and the pictures came out great. We had an accepted offer within a week of listing our home. Our purchase proved to be a very difficult process and involved looking at a very large number of homes (some more than once) and having an accepted offer on 4 different homes that for one reason or another never went to contract. Janet did a great job in managing our stress during this process and was happy to take the time showing us all of these homes, with our two kids in tow. When our second to last deal fell through Janet thought to go back to the listing agent for another home that we loved, but the owners ultimately decided not to sell, to see if they may reconsider. They did reconsider and we got the one house we truly loved because she thought to go back to them. I am not sure another agent would have done that and we are extremely happy that she did!

ZillowVERIFIED Janet represented my husband and I in our housing search in Ossining, and we couldn't have more positive things to say about her professionalism, honesty, and knowledge. She held our hands through an arduous process of going in contract for a short sale, and when that fell through (due to the seller) she was quick to find us other houses in the same style and budget. Most of all, she was patientaEUR"we weren't the easiest couple to work with, especially as nervous first-timers! We love our new home and it wouldn't have been possible without Janet.

ZillowVERIFIED The one word that comes to mind when I hear the name Janet Brand you ask? Excellence! I was a property virgin and received Janet's number through a referral and I was very weary of the whole house buying and was full of anxiety. When I first met with Janet I was amazed at how professional, caring and organized she was. The day I initially spoke with her she promptly took me to many homes and had so much energy that I couldn't even keep up with her. She had all info on the home readily available and as we pulled up to the homes I knew all about them so felt comfortable going inside. She went above and beyond her call of duty speaking with me multiple times a day easing my anxiety and discussing properties as she saw them come through the pipeline. I was impressed how she acted as my counselor when dealing with negotiations and discussions with others on my behalf. She offered helpful advice when considering properties and I thought to myself what did I do to deserve such a great realtor? I have to admit if I didn't have Janet on my side I probably would still be renting today. I highly recommend Janet to anyone in my position. If I had to do this all again I would without a doubt call Janet to help me as she was not only my realtor but treated me as if I was family and wanted only the best for me. Kudos to Janet Brand!!!!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Janet is the consummate professorial. She knows this business inside and out. She maintains excellent communication throughout the process . Readily available by phone . If not she'll return the call quickly.She can analyze even a difficult sale to improve its presentation.I had a plain house on a difficult piece of property. Despite some discouraging times she continually reevaluated and readjusted our plan until it sold.She was very good with the negotiations as well. I got the best price possible.She even went above and beyond to file my tax grievance because I lived out of state. The taxes were decreased by several thousand dollars which was critical to the sale.We found all this was just as true when she sold my parents house. I cannot recommend her highly enough.I cannot recommend her highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED We had Janet as a listing and selling agent. Our house was on the market for 10 days and then it was sold. Janet knows her business. She is very personable and tells it like it is. If you listen to everything she tells you, you will sell your house. Janet is knows how to get it done. I would definitely recommend Janet to anyone that wants to sell their house. We did not know anything about selling a house and Janet walked us through every step. She worked with us. We were able to call her and get answers right away.I have neighbors that will be using Janet when they sell their house.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet is awesome. There's no one that's like her. She helped us with our house 4 years ago, and then she helped us sell it 4 years later. She knows the area like the back of her hand. She will tell you like it is, no B.S. She doesn't "up-talk" a property just to get you hooked in. She keeps your needs in mind and will show you what she finds. We had to relocate and the agent that's helping us is also good and nice, but there's only one Janet. IF you want someone you can trust to tell you the truth, call Janet.

ZillowVERIFIED I had a very bad experience contacting this agent by email. When I contacted her regarding a home, the first time she only replied to me asking me where I saw the advertisement without answering my questions about the showing, which was very impolite. I then replied to her copying the website I saw this home. The second time she again replied to me asking me where I saw her contact information. I felt uncomfortable because she never replied to my concerned question but was only curious about how I got her email address. So when I replied to her saying that I 've already found some other agent to show me the home, she replied back saying that the home owner has an accepted offer. She replied to my question of the home after I decided not to work with her. If she responded my question at the first time telling me that the home was sold, I would recommend that she was a good agent directly addressing buyer's question. However, she didn't seem to be like that.

ZillowVERIFIED Janet has almost 30 years experience in Real Estate. She will not push you towards higher priced houses/condos but rather show you listings that are more affordable to you and make sense for you.She knows what to look for and what's unnecessary. She has tremendous local knowledge of the areas where she works and even though I moved nearly a year ago I still call her for such info!She was a pleasure to work with in my search for a condo.
