Testimonials

“I've had the pleasure of working with Jan through my last two moves. She's extremely professional, experienced, and responsive. She's diplomatic when she needs to be, and tough as nails when the situation warrants it. I have not always been an easy client - in fact, some have called me demanding, but Jan has always known just how to handle whatever situation we're involved in. I highly recommend her.”

“Jan made the home-buying experience for my husband and I incredibly easy! As first-time home buyers, we knew nothing about the local real estate market and were clueless about purchasing a home. Jan knows the Boston residential market very well, so she was very helpful in knowing what areas we should look in and what we should expect in terms of pricing and quality. Once we put in an offer, Jan was super fast in helping to get everything organized and recommended an excellent real estate attorney. I've recommended her to several friends and will definitely use her if I need to buy another home in the future.”

“We would absolutely send friends who are in search of, or selling, a home to Jan Crosby. She has extensive, first-hand knowledge of the real estate market in the West Roxbury area. She has lived in the community for at least 20 years and has been involved extensively in neighborhood activities ranging from the Boston Public Library to the Garden Club to the YMCA. We have worked with Jan in both buying and selling a home in West Roxbury. She is very generous with her time, often making herself available at a moment's notice. Jan walked us through what can be an intimidating process, carefully explaining each and every step, from the open house through to the closing. She is a tireless advocate for her clients and holds herself to the highest standards at both the personal and the professional levels. Jan was able to secure multiple offers after a single weekend open house, each of which was at or above our asking price. We would undoubtedly refer friends and family to Jan without any reservation whatsoever.”

“Selling one’s home after 23 years can be a challenging experience on many fronts. Managing home repairs, downsizing, and staging during a pandemic would perhaps be unthinkable. Selecting the right broker is key to a successful outcome, and I found that in Jan Crosby. She pulled together a fantastic team including a general contractor, movers, marketing experts, and a stager extraordinaire! My home sold in one week, for more than the asking price ---now that’s expertise!”

"The feeling is mutual. You were responsive to our concerns and were professional and steady all the way. Thanks, Dick."

"Jan Crosby did a terrific job in marketing and selling my West Roxbury home. She educated me in how to price my house for sale. She connected me with service pros to ready my house for sale. Every step of the way, she was there to guide, educate and support me through what can be an emotional roller coaster. “I'm grateful to Jan for her energy, expertise, enthusiasm, tenacity, and professionalism. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Jan to anyone looking to sell their home. She's the best, a seasoned pro with a heart.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Jan Crosby in the winter of 2021. Neither my husband or I had any experience selling a home. Jan took her time, explained everything, answered all questions, and educated us on what needed to be done to be successful. She came to our first meeting with a ‘do differently’s’ list from the previous Realtor, from staging to photos. “She even completed historical fact-finding providing us with a vintage news article about the original owner and his garden. It was those extra touches that made a difference. Her maturity and experience were exactly what we needed. In six weeks the house was sold to a family we couldn’t be happier being there! “Thank you, Jan!”

“Jan Crosby helped us to sell our house in late summer, 2021 at a time when the market had been in a frenzy for several months. She guided us through every step of the process - we really benefitted from her skill and experience. She spent time getting to know us and understood that it was a big change for us to be selling our home of 22 years. “Jan not only has exceptional skill and experience as a Realtor, she is very personable, patient and easy to reach. We felt she was not only interested in helping to sell our house but also was interested in us as a family. It could not have been a better match for us. Our house sold quickly as we had hoped and she helped us to find a Realtor in Maryland, where we have relocated. The new Realtor is also a great match for us and we recently found the home we had been hoping for with his effort. “We could not have done any of this without Jan’s help and expertise.”
