 TESTIMONIALS & KIND WORDS ::

  

~ "I am in the middle of my second transaction with janeAnne as my Broker. Without qualification, I will say she is the best REALTOR® I've ever worked with as well as one of the most intuitive people I've ever encountered.   In late 2004, after an email exchange, janeAnne pretty much "knew" what I was looking for, assured me we'd find it,  initiated and directed the search, which we did over several days, covering a large area on the map, and then helped me identify, negotiate for a piece of land in a community which is perfect.

 Now, some  years later, I am about to  close on yet another  property she told me long ago I would be looking for!   She's honest, diligent, smart, patient, funny, knowledgeable, and pleasant to drive around with in a car. I highly recommend janeAnne Broker-in-Charge at The ECO-Steward Real Estate Firm. " ~ Don Silver  ~

 

 “Thanks for always remembering us from the start, when we first met, all the way through to years

 

later when you listed and SOLD the home we bought from you….” P.R.   

~I was "wowed", blown away by what a top-quality product you put together for our parent's home .Thank you so much for this superb presentation/product....
Game On!"    Robby
 
~ "Thank you for all you are doing...this seems like an unending marathon with no finish line discernible!!!! You are the only bright spot on the horizon:) " S.S. 

 

~ "You're the best pet friendly broker I know! ... Thank you for the extra time you have spent to make us feel comfortable during our planning period. If you go this far out of your way to help us in the planning phase of our move, what must your service be like once we are actively engaged in the move itself...." A.S.

 

~Your "New Approach"  to connecting us as sellers with buyers made us realize that even in a tough market, we might have a better chance to be seen. B.P. 

 
~ Bill and I  want to thank you for all of your efforts in selling our home in Fairview Forest. From our first talk with you at our kitchen table, we felt reassured that your attention to detail and that little "something extra" that is uniquely JaneAnne would bring us success.  Being strangers "from back East", we were so glad you were able to knowledgeably explain the competitiveness of the market here in Western North Carolina and why our home would need to make it to the First Page of Google to be seen and have good exposure. You said you planned to use a combination of good-old-fashioned techniques plus what you called the “proven power of technology” to reach more potential buyers and generally get the word out about our home.
 
It was a good conversation about what we now call "The Plan"- especially when it came to the time-frame for selling and realistic expectations in terms of the Listing Price.  You taught us new terms like comparative market analysis or CMAand offered us an idea of what a realistic asking price should be, how long our house might be on the market, and what improvements (including professional staging) we might budget for.
 
Thank you for all your exceptional work and “Selling Tips”. We especially liked the information cards you placed around the house for the showings. They really did point out the features of our home for buyer’s and their agents when they came. I was amazed that we sold so quickly and I am sure it was thanks to you. 
 
We also want you to know that we appreciate your exceptional work ethic and warm personal style - Not only did you make the process trouble free but we learned so much along the way.

       Thanks again,
       Bill and Sue Russo

GETTING ACQUAINTED ::

Possibly one good reason why Asheville hits so many TOP 10 LISTS is that it is also a place to enjoy the company of good neighbors, the proximity of the wonders of Nature...  and sharing our stories...    Here's My Story  

     
Real Estate runs in my blood. Back in the day, between rounds of golf, Dad built a successful real estate brokerage based on positive relationships in the community and with his clients.  With my family's guidance I learned that whether in golf, real estate, or in day-to-day life,"paying attention" is all-important. 

 With family roots that go way back in the mountains and valleys around Asheville, North Carolina ( a couple of hundred years,)the National Association of REALTORS® reminder that "...under it all lies the land...."   has special meaning for me, 

as it did for my Dad who was a million dollar REALTOR back in The Day. 

...so that's where my story begins...

"There is only so much Land, " Dad said,
I hope your grandchildren can experience it as we do today."
 

My career path as schoolteacher, career coach, corporate marketing consultant, and publisher and author curved gracefully back to the mountains and a family real estate business where sustainable innovation rules, and where golfers can give it their best shot to find "Homes on the Green."  Not long after coming home to Asheville in 2000, I launched Asheville Greenolina's Real Estate Firm.   ...and a NEW APPROACH that employs tech-savvy approaches for sustainable excellence in Forever Homes.

 

Today I continue my senior specialist.leading edge boomer real estate consulting and am the Editor-at-Large for The Sage Companion eZine- where our focus is Aging in PALACE- again sustainable excellence, un assisted living at Home.

Over the years, it's been a privilege to come to be valued and respected by clients and the real estate community, especially for a particular expertise in properties that demonstrate innovation  in Quality of Lifestyle and Life-Healthy-Built Homes®, beautiful golf course properties and communities, second and vacation properties, and LAND.

Here in Asheville, the emerald jewel in the mountains of Western North Carolina,
our mutual real estate story starts with conversation that can lead to "happy endings."

...Talk Around the Kitchen Table

SO IMPORTANT! YOUR FAMILY. YOUR HOME. This understanding is at the heart of that story.  As we sit around the "kitchen table" or at a cozy coffee shoppe, I want you to know that, as a REALTOR® I am dedicated to helping you connect with your FOREVER  mountain home and/or land legacy in and around Asheville real estate.  I am passionate about the Greater Asheville area and about making the process of exploring and finding your home here in the Asheville- Black Mountain-Marshall-Mars Hill area - in Buncombe and Madison County, as enjoyable and smooth as possible.

As a senior specialist and leading edge boomer consultant here in the mountains of Western North Carolina I know that this means accepting the challenge of a professional adventure- 

It starts with planning, listening, problem-solving, consulting especially about the value-added benefits of sustainable properties, interpreting data you may find online from the perspective of local reality...and so much more. You know, it simply is important to understand the whole process required to keep the momentum moving in a positive direction.

Communication with clients (YOU) and with  the other parties in the transaction, the builder, the lender, the attorney, the inspectors, the surveyor...etc...could be daunting without a good heart from all concerned... and a good sense of humor.

 The Creative Leading Edge Boomer Lifestyle and Golf

Raised where nature has a say, in part on golf courses, I appreciate the beauty of the game of golf and the environment in which it is played. Having taken Audubon's Green GolferTM Pledge, I also appreciate the emerging focus on sustainable golf facilities- sited, designed, constructed and managed in ways that enhance the Greater Asheville community. These courses, and their attending "homes on the green"  can help to reduce or eliminate the impact on Asheville's amazing natural resources. This I say not only as an eco-friendly real estate professional, but as an avid putter! Golf and real estate run in my blood."  ~  janeAnne@janeAnne.com
