Despite the many glowing reviews, I want to share our unfortunate experience with Jane Marie. This is my first negative review ever, but I hope our story will save someone elseâs nerves and money. Jane Marie, who overpriced the sale of our house, leading to a significant waste of time. Despite our expectations of a lower price, she insisted on a higher price and promised a quick sale within the first week on the market. However, the house remained unsold even after four months. About a month after being on the market, she suggested lowering the price by $15,000, but it was too late, as valuable time had already been lost. Furthermore, Jane Marie made mistakes in describing our property when listing it. She understated the square footage by nearly 1000 square feet, causing confusion among potential buyers. In four months, we had only four showings, and there were no visitors during open house events at all . We were offered virtual staging services by our realtor to add some boost in the sale, but due to financial constraints, we declined. Jane Marie assured us that she would cover the designerâs fees herself. To find a way out of this situation and avoid financial losses while paying two mortgages, we decided to rent out the house. Jane Marie insisted that November and December were the hottest months for sales, as investors poured money into real estate during this period. Our house was simultaneously listed for sale and for rent. However, for over a month, we received no inquiries or viewings for either option.
Our biggest mistake was signing a one-year contract with Jane Marie, and when we tried to switch realtors after four months, we were asked to pay $1000 to terminate the contract, despite no such condition being in the agreement. This fee allegedly covered advertising expenses, photographer services, designer fees, and other unspecified charges. Strangely, we were not provided with any receipts, and when I requested photos of my home, which I had paid the photographer for, I was denied access for unexplained reasons.
In conclusion, I would absolutely not recommend anyone to work with Jane Marie and her company as professionals. we got a lot of stress and negative emotions, and never sign a contract for more than...
   Read moreIt has been one year since I went through proverbial hell on a buyer's behalf. The realtor was not seasoned, nor did they go to bat when the seller's agent decided to play hardball. As far as I am concerned we were a seller's dream. I didn't argue on the price, didn't ask for fresh paint, or a professional home cleaning. I was appalled on the final walk-thru as the seller's agent left the outdoor shed looking like something you would find in a foreclosure. My husband and I both felt disgusted and belittled in the entire process. It was not our first time with a home purchase, but the first purchase here in the state of Texas. Most reputable realtors would go above and beyond, and it was incredibly upsetting for me to have to get the broker Jean Marie involved. It made the entire buying experience an absolute headache, and I walked out the afternoon of the signing more relieved to be done with the realty business than the actual pursuit of purchasing a home. I have friends in the realty business in the state of Virginia that go above and beyond for their clients, but in leu of a fruit basket or a gift card to an eatery; I was able to get some holes in the wall fixed and a drawer in a California closet repaired. The irony in all of this was that close to three weeks after close, the seller's agent sent us a calendar magnet (rhymes with Phyllis) with their logo emblazoned. I actually hung it on the fridge as more of a satire of the ordeal. While I appreciate Jean Marie picking up the pieces, I did not appreciate the banter during closing, nor the pseudo anecdote of the seller's physical state. She is in fact alive and well. I am thankful for the experience on how not to do business with just ANY realty company in the area. Perform your due diligence and do your research as it will serve you well...
