Her market knowledge is amazing and she works hard to understand what her clients want - and delivers." MB, Wilton We can't speak highly enough of Jane. She is the most professional and understanding agent that we've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. From the very beginning of our journey she distinguished herself by reaching out first and making time for us, despite our difficult schedules. She has an intimate knowledge of the area and her feedback and guidance was invaluable to us. She was always accessible and we never felt rushed or pressured. When negotiations got tougher, her professionalism and experience shows and she did a great job of supporting us throughout the process. We were buyers in this instance but, regardless of which side of the transaction we are in the future, we would only consider Jane." BD, Weston "Jane is knowledgeable, friendly and always responsive. She had been working with us to help us find the exact property we were after. We never felt rushed or pushed into anything and Jane was always super patient in showing us property after property. An absolute pleasure to work with and we wouldn't hesitate for a minute to work with Jane again in the future." DG, New Canaan "Jane was an absolute pleasure to work with.
