Marie Martin was my property manager for 3 miserable years. First night, the dryer caught fire - she tried to blame us. Their handyman created a leak in our wall = mushrooms sprouting from the wall - she blamed us for being dirty. She complained about the lawn when it was just done. The place was INFESTED with spiders. Just a small sample of the misery.Do not rent from these people!!
Working with Aaron and his team was a blessing. We were first time home buyers and so it took us a while to figure out what we wanted and where. Aaron offered so much great advice and perspective and has an immense knowledge of the area, he was also very patient with us and our millions of questions. There is also the additional bonus of Aaron just being a wonderful human being and we really enjoyed being around him and felt immediately very comfortable. When we found the perfect house at the perfect price in the perfect neighborhood, the Janus group team was very supportive and communicative and helped us through the entire process. Even though we were first time home buyers we felt confident and supported and it made the process very easy.
As first-time home buyers, we had no idea what to expect from a real estate agent. Deciding to work with Aaron Janus was the best choice we could have made.Most importantly, it’s clear that he’s on your side. We took a lot of time, and had a few false starts in our home buying journey, but Aaron was right there with us. He never pressured us into a decision we weren’t 100% comfortable with. He took the time to really understand our needs and made sure that every house fit those requirements.He is super well informed. The Seattle housing market continues to change quickly, and Aaron made sure that we were considering both short and long-term factors in our decision. He also introduced us to a few neighborhoods that we wouldn’t have found on our own.Aaron has a great sense of humor. After a long work day, it can be hard to find the energy to look at houses, but Aaron was always able to pick us up and make an evening of driving all over the east side pretty enjoyable.We will definitely work with Aaron Janus the next time we are in the market for a house. Highly recommend.
So glad we found Aaron to help us sell our townhouse. With all the competition out there, it is so important to have a dedicated person with alot of strategic experience in managing our sale. He knew what needed to be done to get our townhouse sold. His team staged our townhouse so beautifully, so that a buyer could easily imagine making our townhouse their home. Trusting in your agent is key to getting the job done. He knew the market price of our townhouse and delivered that price. I highly recommend Aaron and hope you give him and his team serious consideration when choosing an agent.
This was our first home purchase and it was so great to have Aaron and his group help us through it. We were extremely comfortable with Aarons approach and perspective. He was able to provide honest feedback and helped us through the tough and nervous parts of buying a home. We are in no hurry to find a new home but we will definitely not get a new home without Aaron!
We had an amazing experience with Aaron Janus and his company. Aaron went above and beyond our expectations, going so far as to drive us around Seattle with our infant in tow to help us find the perfect house. He also listened to what we were looking for in a new house and tailored his recommendations accordingly, which saved us time. We couldn’t recommend Aaron enough!
Aaron served as my realtor twice and I had excellent experiences with him both times. The first was to see my parents mid-century modern home. It needed work before it could be sold and Aaron knew exactly who to contact for good service at a reasonable price. He was very responsive and friendly at all times and got a good price for the house. The second time I used Aaron was to sell undeveloped land in Issaquah. Due to a variety of problems with the lots and location it took awhile, but Aaron once again had good ideas about how to make the land more saleable and put me in touch with good contractors. I would definitely use Aaron again if I was selling a home or land in the greater Seattle area.
Aaron was exceptional with the marketing of my deceased brothers property. He was top notch with all the information I needed to completethe sale, and always professional but personable to. He knows the marketand you will be very satisfied with him as your real-estate agent.Sincerely, Randy Robertson
Aaron made things happen, and our house was sold. He evaluated the house proposed things to fix up and very professionally created a plan of action. He had the appropriate contacts for getting things done and the house looked great and was sold. Really appreciate his guidance and insights he is a very profesional and nice person to work with.
Aaron was excellent when we had to sell my mothers condo after she passed, it was a very stressful situation with everything else that had to be done. We were referred to Aaron and we met with him and left everything in his hand to take care of Aaron went above and beyond our expectations and the condo sold the same week it was listed. Aaron did an awesome job. Thanks Aaron!
Aaron was referred to my wife and I through a friend. We could not be happier with the recommendation. After multiple offers, our home sold very quickly (and for much more than expected) . This allowed us to purchase a larger home, which Aaron helped us with as well. The Janus Group exceeded expectations with their professionalism and honesty. Aaron and the Janus Group = ROCK STARS!
No integrity here! I have lived and rented in various states over the last several years and have never had a worse experience with rental management than with the Janus group. The Janus group bought my rental contract while we were living at the property. As I purchased a home, I was honest and upfront about my moving timeline and AGREED PER THEIR REQUEST TO MOVE OUT EARLY in order for them to rent out the property sooner. Then, upon moving out, they had LOST ALL OF THE MOVE IN PAPERWORK, and therefore charged me for anything not in “perfect condition.” All was normal wear of the property, including that of the previous tenants (which was fully documented in photos in the move in paperwork). Getting an email from the previous property manager confirming that she indeed received this move in paperwork, as well as resubmitting copies of this paperwork did not sway their decision. THEY ELECTED TO NOT FOLLOW THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT. Charges included the cost of paint for the property, even though all the paint they needed was in the garage. They were NOT WILLING TO ADMIT THEY WERE AT FAULT in the least. Then in the most unprofessional manner, Marie, my given contact from their group, BLOCKED OUR CELL PHONE NUMBER DURING THE TIME THAT WE WERE STILL TRYING TO SETTLE THIS ISSUE. Their last response was simply that they will no longer respond to our communications. I would never recommend working with this group.Response to owner reply: Yes all they would have to go on is the move-in inspection. That is the issue here. We had completed that, and upon our contract going to your group, Janus Group lost that paperwork. Therefore we were even charged for the wear and tear that was done by the previous tenant before we moved in. Which would have been seen in the inspection paperwork (because we took lots of pictures) had it not been lost. I can also confirm it was lost because I have the email from the manager of the other group beforehand confirming that the paperwork and pictures were received. By the way, it is odd to respond a year after we moved.
Aaron has been very supportive of all our needs as seller. We were moving to UK and selling the house. Aaron took care of getting the house ready for showing after we left and made sure we didnt have to worry about all the things. He is also very knowledgeable about the market and got pricing and details all right for closing. He was responsive to calls and questions from our side at odd hours due to time difference.We definitely recommend Aaron if you need agent in Eastside area.
Aaron was great, this was the second home he helped us purchase, always on top of the timelines and ready to do whatever is needed, thanks Aaron!
The Janus Group is fantastic to work with. They are a very knowledgeable and professional real estate team.
