Jean is a retired educator and puts integrity first.

For example, if Jean thinks buyers might be taken by a home’s curb appeal and fresh interior paint job, and not realistic enough about maintenance and repairs that might come their way, she alerts them instead of merely focusing on a quick sale.

Jean wants her buyers to be comfortable with their investment over time so she shares her assessments of properties’ strengths and weaknesses. It’s not, of course, that a freshened up home is not a good buy. Rather, it’s keeping an eye on the larger picture and what expenses new owners might face in their first years of ownership. Count on Jean to look out for your long-term good.

On the other hand, a quick sale is what sellers need to keep their house from growing market weary. One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is to go with the agent who quotes the highest figure, only to find the market rejecting the price and the house languishing.

Trust Jean to run the comparables and give you the straight prudent scoop on pricing your home. A lower, not higher price, attracts buyers and can often lead to multiple offers that can then drive the price up. All without the seller having to start out so high that they drive buyers away. That’s smart business. That’s honest business. That is what you can expect from Jean Johnson.
