“Shari Jansen did an outstanding job with the sale of our condo in Seattle. When the tenant moved out, the unit required extensive renovation of all finishes throughout. As an out-of-state owner, we were totally dependent on Shari to find contractors and oversee the work - including doing some of it herself! Once the work was completed, Shari staged it at her expense and produced several offers in short order. The condo was under contract within a month, and closed shortly thereafter. I highly recommend Shari to anyone buying or selling in the Seattle market. She is very knowledgeable, resourceful and will exceed your expectations.”

“Shari helped my wife and I find our dream home. She understood what we were looking for from the get-go and helped us narrow down our search which led to a very efficient and enlightening house hunting process. We looked at houses in very different neighborhoods and she had great knowledge about each one of them, she truly knows Seattle and its’ surrounding area. Once inside each house she offered great insight about architectural features and things to look for in a great home. We ended up finding the perfect house in a beautiful neighborhood for our growing family. Shari established a great relationship with the seller’s agent as soon as we saw the house and helped us write an offer that made sense for every party involved. The process was extremely efficient and communication from her and her team was flawless. Thank you Shari!”

“Amazing, total miracle worker, found us our dream home in THREE DAYS!”

“We have a home thanks to Shari! She took time to help us understand the market, show us around several homes, and put offers on multiple houses. Shari arranged for us to see a house on the same the day we found it. We ended up putting in an offer in later that same day. We were delighted to have our offer accepted and love our new home! The home has gone up a lot in value and we sincerely would not be here without her. I would truly recommend Shari to anyone! Thank you Shari!!”

“Shari is one of the most amazing professionals in the business. She is truly our family realtor. Our children bought their home with her excellent guidance, and with her help, managed to avoid getting into a bidding war. We came into the Seattle area to be near our family and wanted a small condo for our use when in Seattle. We only had three days and expected to just get a ‘feel’ for what was possible. We found the perfect place on the third day and Shari submitted our bid, and the condo was ours — our first offer was accepted. Now, five years later we decided to move out here permanently. After selling our family home in Illinois, we started our work with Shari to find a larger condo. We quickly decided exactly what we wanted, and bid on a three-bedroom condo in a +55 community. We were beat out by a cash offer about $65,000 above the asking price. We thought that we were finally going to get involved in the blood sport that buying a home has become in the area. A second condo came on the market the next week, and again, we didn’t get it. By this time Shari knew exactly what we wanted, and because of her professional behavior in the second case, was contacted by someone regarding a THIRD condo in the same building. The owners showed us their place, and Shari said, ‘we’ll take it’ immediately. It was actually the nicest of the three we saw. SO, we had a direct seller to buyer situation, no bidding wars, no stress. We are thrilled with our new home, exactly what we wanted, and it only took attempts to get exactly what we wanted, and within our price range. Shari has continued to help us with all the endless details involved in our ‘simple’ deal. She truly is a great human being with incredible savvy and integrity. If you want to buy or sell, Shari is your person — she will get the job done.”

“Shari has been a godsend to us when it comes to buying and selling our homes. She has so much knowledge about real estate and she really cares about her clients and wants to give them the absolute best experience in buying or selling a home possible. Working with Shari is a pleasure and she makes the whole process as seamless and simple as she can! We first met Shari a few years ago in an apartment complex elevator when we were at the start of our house hunting journey and after working with her a few times now we plan on being lifelong clients! Thank you Shari!!!”

“Shari was referred to us and her reference came with a glowing review. When we met her for the first time, we knew we wanted her NOT ONLY to sell our home, but also to help us FIND one. At first, she gave us advice that we were reluctant to follow because we weren’t sure. Thank God we decided to go with her suggestions! She had predicted our house would fly off the map with some repairs, a bit of tweaking and pre-inspection. Shari also went above and beyond to help us get the teams together to prep the home for sale. When we thought she was too optimistic, Shari got other neighborhood real estate agents evaluate our home for free. We received 11 offers in 4 days, and so, the house sold much higher than the asking price! Needless to say, we were STUNNED. Before we listed the home for sale, Shari had warned us to act quickly when we found a home we liked. Again, we followed her advice. Shari was kind enough to offer to see if the house we wanted to buy was a safe investment...on a Sunday! Shari got the ball rolling very quickly and pulled all the strings to make the house ours (we beat another bidder). I have never met a more proactive, passionate real estate professional. Shari is truly the best. She was a godsend because the entire process of selling our home and buying a new home took less than 3 months...in a tough housing market like Seattle that is nothing short of a miracle! Thank you Shari!”

“Working with Shari was such a pleasure, and she would be the first person we would call if I had any sort real estate needs in the future. She went above and beyond, so much so that it felt like we were her only clients at times. Her advice was spot on, and we could truly see that she cared and had our best interests in mind. We are first time home owners and her expertise was essential in navigating the Seattle area real estate market. The search for our house had its ups and downs, but Shari was our rock through the entire process and helped us steer away from the rotten eggs and hold out for “the one”. Thank you so much Shari!”

“I think I hit the jackpot when working with Shari to buy my first home. Shari’s knowledge, dedication, determination and passion for her work blew me away and she made the experience of buying a home engaging and fun. She truly worked above and beyond and put in 200% effort to help me find the perfect home. I will recommend Shari to anyone I know looking to buy or sell their home and I hope to work with her again one day. I had the best possible experience I could of had for buying my first home. Shari knows the industry in and out and is very solutions oriented. She was highly communicative and always quick to respond to my questions. I can’t imagine working a more qualified realtor that truly understands the needs of her clients.”

“I have worked with Shari for several years. She has represented us on both sales of residential properties and purchases. She is an excellent negotiator and will always work hard for her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top quality agent.”
— Laura
“Shari is a fabulous agent. She was so patient w us and very knowledgeable and super kind. She found us the perfect house and we couldn’t be happier here. We would use her again and if I ever list my house I would pick her to be the selling agent.”

“We sent this latter to the owners, Avenue Properties: We wish to say a word about the outstanding job done by your agent Shari Jansen in our purchase of a great condo in Issaquah. Our daughter recommended Shari to us in the highest terms after landing her and her husband’s “dream home” in Seward Park. That should have been a difficult negotiation, but Shari evidently provided the most remarkable support, mortgage financing advice, etc and really facilitated that negotiation. So we came to Seattle early in October to look for a condo that would be our second (retirement) home away from southern Illinois. Shari conducted considerable advance research before our arrival, then worked tirelessly (literally — I know that term is overused but, in this case, most appropriate) to show us the most promising properties for three days. On Day 3 we hit paydirt, the perfect place. Shari acted fast, working after hours to write up an “aggressive” offer. All her advice about earnest money, and the proper cash offer, was spot on. So, we landed our dream property in Issaquah. Shari is a gem, we’re sure you realize. It must be a great feeling for you to have so competent an agent working with your group. ”

“Shari was delightful to work with. She quickly recognized what we liked and didn’t like and didn’t waste our time looking at houses we wouldn’t be happy with. She found us a beautiful home which we spent 6 wonderful years in.”
— TY
“Shari was introduced to us by our neighbor and since day one she has been nothing short of impressive. Working with our assigned relocation company, coordinating with professionals to get our home ready to sell on a very tight schedule and keeping us informed of it all every step of the way was her top priority. She is a wonderful agent, extremely hard working and a complete pleasure to work with. Thank you Shari!”

“Shari has been my trusted real estate agent and advisor for 20 years now. She has flawlessly closed 6 deals with me for the purchase and sale of 3 homes! I trust her inherently, she provides expert guidance on everything needed to buy and sell my homes and she gives me confidence and security that I am being taken care of in an area that can be very daunting for those of us who are not real estate professionals. If I ever have a need to buy or sell a property, I just have to call Shari and she gets it done!”
— Kyra
“Shari will go above and beyond your expectations! She is truly a relationship salesperson and will do what it takes to get the job done. She helped me through a very difficult and unique sale that I’m not sure many other real estate agents would have been able to handle. I am truly impressed with her service. She will definitely go the extra mile for you as she did for me!”
— KC
“What I liked best about Shari was that she was patient, detailed and positive throughout our entire home search and buying process. We had lots of desires and limitations and she helped us find the very best home to meet our needs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an agent, and I will use her again when we are ready to move to a new home.”

“We were connected with Shari on recommendation from our lender and she was AMAZING from the beginning. My husband and I had tried looking into buying a house in 2009 when he returned home from his second tour in Iraq, but at the time we could not get approved for a loan due to credit issues. 6 years and 2 kids later we found ourselves living in my old bedroom at my parents house as we cleaned up our money/credit issues and tried again. Shari was an amazing teacher and offered the compassion and guidance we needed. We were looking quite a ways outside of her normal area and had a less than ideal budget but she was always upbeat and never gave up on us- driving over an hour each way to meet with us. Finally we found THE houseand she made it happen! she even coordinated to get us some furnishings to make our new house a true home. Now we have a place of our own to rais our girls and couldn’t be happier! I will never be able to express the amount of gratitude that Shari deserves. She started just as our realtor but definitely has become a friend.”

“Shari helped us find our first home in Kirkland when we moved here 8 years ago. We were relocating with a 2-year-old and I was pregnant with our second child. Shari was a great help to us, and so delightful to work with. She responded to calls and emails very quickly (back in the day before texting was common!), and gave us excellent advice. We were very happy with her assistance in negotiating the purchase as well. ”
