Janice Lee

Janice did an outstanding job assisting my sister and I in selling our Mother's home. Her experience in selling homes in SF's Sunset District was very helpful in determining a competitive purchasing price for our property. Janice was involved in all aspects of the sale including how much work should be done in preparation of sale and organizing all the contractors involved. She supplied all the staging and marketing which was excellent. She was friendly and responsive to all our questions. Most importantly she helped us find the perfect buyer and succeeded in getting us a sale price we were very happy with. I would highly recommend Janice Lee "Ms. San Francisco Real Estate".

Janice is awesome. She helped us to shop for and close a condo in the city. She is honest, experienced and her team is very quick and responsive. Shopping for a house can be stressful. She guided us through every step of the buying process and was always there to give advice. She was great to jam with on what can be done with the place after the purchase and has a great network if you need insurance, contractors, etc.

For context, we worked with Janice while sheltering-in-place, sometime during last June/July.  We loved working with Janice and we would absolutely recommend her to any friend who is looking to purchase a home. Here are some of the reasons why: - She's approachable, super responsive, and resourceful. - She keeps a finger on how hot which San Francisco neighborhoods are at the moment. She can come up with estimated values and when you actually look at the comps, it's pretty much in line with what she tells you to expect. - If you're looking at a home and you have questions about how much it would cost to renovate it (break down a wall, add another room, etc), she can give you some quick estimates. She'll tell you what you can get at a minimum price and what it'll cost to get nicer upgrades. She's had experience with flipping houses, getting permits, and the like. - She gives you her thoughts, but she lets you ultimately drive the decision on how you want to negotiate. It's great in that she gives you the space to learn how to bid and get a feel for the market.  After you bid, she comes back to give you feedback on how the negotiations went. - She does a great job of articulating the tradeoffs of what you're buying.  Depending on what your future plans are in regards to buying a home (renovating then selling, permanent family home, etc), she can help you think through how a home will appreciate in value. - She's fast, and that helps if you want to lock down a place before other potential buyers enter the scene. If you want to go look at a place, she'll book an appointment quickly and she'll make sure to meet you there at the allotted time. The process of buying with Janice was straightforward, fun, and informative. We look forward to working with her again one day.

Janice was the agent who helped my wife and me to sell a condo and buy a house at the same time when the market was so unpredictable and competitive in September. She has very solid connections in the industry and was extremely helpful, transparent, and reliable throughout the whole process. Kudos to her, the entire process was seamless! We really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a top real estate agent in the bay area.

I only wish there were 10 stars to give Janice Lee. At the height of COVID-19, she took us from knowing very little about the market to seeing a dozen properties inside 15 days. We ended up purchasing our dream property with everything our hearts desired. Her expertise and contacts are unmatched. For years, we had assumed it wasn't possible to buy a home in SF because things were too competitive and it was too hard to get our money's worth. We appreciated Janice's availability, constant attention, deep knowledge of neighborhoods in and around SF AND her willingness to educate us. There wasn't pressure to act and she helped us turn down several promising opportunities because the fit wasn't absolutely right. She is well connected and her confidence, experience and advocacy was critical during the negotiation phase. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
