Previous experience buying and selling homes left my husband and I leery of the real estate industry. We encountered representing agents who didn't get along, agents who did not fairly represent us as the selling party and agents who gave no concessions in the negotiation process. The whole evolution was painful. Our selling experience with Janice was the complete opposite. From start to finish, Janice displayed the utmost professionalism. This was evidenced in her dependable and timely communication (unheard of these days), her command and control of details, her up-to-date knowledge of real estate laws and procedures, her desire to reach a fair agreement for both sides (also unheard of), and her taking care of us as if we were family. Janice was our advocate, in the truest sense of the word, and that made all the difference. In a hundred ways, she did over and beyond what we had ever known an agent to do. We would entrust ourselves to Janice again, and would encourage others to do the same.

Janice was our agent as we sold our house in Virginia Beach this year. It is hard to imagine receiving service any better than Janice provided us. It is rare that I take time to sit down and write these letters, but her work was so excellent that we felt it merited extra attention. Janice was professional from start to finish - we contacted her early in the year about our upcoming sale, and she let us know exactly what to expect once our tenant had moved out. We were selling from a different state, and it was amazing how simple Janice made the process for us. She arranged for repairs, coordinated all of the numerous services that had to take place, and even arranged and staged our home for us so that it would show well. And it showed beautifully - we were amazed how wonderful our little house looked in the virtual tour that Janice set up. We received multiple offers on the house, and soon agreed to terms on a contract for full listed value of our home. The entire process was surprisingly fast and simple. We attribute the majority of our positive experience to Janice's expertise and hard work. We have had to move several times over the past few years, and bought and sold more houses than we would like to admit over the past 10 years. During that time, we have worked with some wonderful people, but have never had service as excellent as Janice Bruce provided to us. It was a wonderful experience to work with her.

Janice was amazing. She knew the market and negotiated a better price than I expected. She was always on top of the deadlines and not only kept us on target, she was proactive with the seller's agent to get things done. She is also just a really nice person and fun. I look forward to listing my current home with her and see what she can do when she is the seller's agent!

I had to sell my Dad's home from a distance of four and one half hours away. Janice sold a home next door to his, sometime earlier, and we were impressed with her expertise even then. Enough to hire her straight-away. Janice acts as though the home is her own when recommending a sales price and provides exceptional professional input on that function. She met my punch-list contractors, paid their invoices when needed, provided an exceptional list of contractors , and in one case saved us $1500. She even went to Lowe's Building Inc selected a storm door, bought it and coordinated the installation. I found her to be exceptional at negotiating a final sale with a potential buyer and their Realtor, most worthy of praise on this. If that isn't enough; she goes way overboard to assist the seller on home prep issues like fix-up, decorating, home appliance protection and much much more! I've moved 8 times and never had the same service as that provided by Janice!

Before we hired Janice, our home languished on the market for nearly a year. Janice sold it for the asking price in less than two months. With a wealth of connections, a professional and personable presence, and old-school work ethic, Janice won our complete confidence within days. In our first meeting, Janice told us that she "sells homes as if each one is her own." At first, it sounded like part of a rehearsed pitch. Her actions proved the absolute truthfulness of the sentiment. She (along with her husband) dedicated hours of work to make our house "show" beautifully. She furnished it, decorated it, frequently came by to sweep the porch, and made sure the lawn was always manicured. (We were out of town, so these gritty demonstrations of dedication meant the world to us.) Janice will sell your house. She will communicate clearly and frequently along the way. She does not rely upon luck or a good old boy system. She guts out every aspect of her job. I have never experienced such a level of dedication. She was worth every penny and more. I cannot overstate my recommendation of Janice Bruce

Janice had tremendous ideas and actively helped us stage our house, which allowed us to get top dollar in a rather lack-luster market. We strongly recommend Janice!
Roger R. (Norfolk)
Janice was recommended by our son. His glowing remarks turned out to be understatements. She has got to have a time machine hidden somewhere because she made us feel like we were her only clients, (she's one of the busiest agents in Tidewater). My wife and I were buying 2 Condos for rental income investments for our retirement. She actually read ALL of the documents from the sellers, pointing out several issues that needed to be corrected. Janice is professional, knowledgeable, thorough and effective. Next, our house goes on the market this spring and our new agent, Janice Bruce, would love to show it to you.
