What My Customers Have to Say About MeUsser amazinsoni88 Bought a single family homeJanet went above and beyond our expectations and always made us feel like we were a priority. She helped us find a home that that was perfect match for us and we never felt pressured in any way. User mendenhall7 First time Buyer As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what to expect from a real estate agent but, whatever those expectations were, Janet exceeded them a hundred times over. Despite my tough budget and small searching area, she worked tirelessly day and night (and weekends) to help me find the perfect first home. Once I found the house for me, she walked me through every step of the process and kept me updated daily. All in all, Janet was friendly, helpful, patient with all of my many questions, and the best agent I could have asked for. I would (and already have) recommend her to anyone in a heartbeatUser 6508645 Sold a Single Family Home Janet is one of best realtors around. She was so helpful and really went out of her way to do what ever I needed. I had a sudden move out of state and she handled everything for me while I was gone.

She was very attentive and helpful in the sell of our home in Knoxville. We live out of state, so there were many hurdles along the way.

September 2014 dkruetel reviewed Janet Skeels Cell 865-973-2755 September 2014 In 2014Janet worked with us for over a year. We put an offer on a house and then lost it due to credit issues. She was very patient with us as we resolved those issues and then started all over looking for a house again. We used Janet again because she was so great to deal with. We found a house this second time within a few weeks and we absolutely love it. It's exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Janet in any Real Estate Transaction that you may endeavor.Turambar85 reviewed Janet Skeels Cell 865-973-2755 Helped Me Buy a Home - August 2014 Despite us making this as difficult on Janet as we could, she did an excellent job! We have never purchased a home before, and had never considered doing so more than a few months ago. I saw Janet's reviews on Trulia and decided to give her a call. I was so unsure of the home-buying process that I though that I was calling the seller's agent! My partner and I were buying a home in Knoxville from Seattle, Washington. I'm sure that this made Janet's job that much more difficult! She had to take a crew of our family members and friends to showings since we couldn't go ourselves. And she had to help first time home-buyers figure out how to navigate the difficult process of buying a home from 2,600 miles away! Despite all of this, Janet helped get us into a home that we absolutely love. We first contacted Janet on April 15th, completely unsure as to what we were doing or how to do it, and we closed on the house next week (on July 2nd), only 2.5 months later.moref61- Highly likely to recommend We Bought a Townhouse home in 2014 for approximately $125K in Maryville, TN.

We ended up finding an awesome house and are excited to move in and enjoy.Mark.scansen reviewed Janet Skeels 06/27/2014 Client, BuyerTo: Trulia Referral and whomever else it may concern Subject: Realtor Recommendation for Janet Skeels, Coldwell Banker, regarding 1309 Blockhouse Valley Janet Skeels has represented us recently on the purchase of a home with land in the North Knoxville / Oak Ridge / Clinton Area, and has truly worked hard to help us find and secure a great place for our kids and the site of our future home. Our requirements were quite challenging and Janet enthusiastically supported our lengthy search process, physically looking at well over a dozen properties before making an offer on an older home on acreage. The offer and sales process was equally challenging due to the nature of the property and the seller's estate, throughout which Janet kept us well informed and negotiated the multiple hurdles required to finally close five months after the initial offer was made. Janet is professional, courteous, diligent, well informed and certainly has my recommendation for anyone seeking a home in the Knoxville or surrounding area. Sincerely, Mark Scansen Proud new owner, 1309 Blockhouse Valley Road, Clinton, TNbobby1141 reviewed Janet Skeels 06/16/2014 Helped me buy a homeVery helpful in finding a home in the price range we were looking for!!

Connie McGee Fri, Oct 4, 2013Brandee Stinnett Client, Buyer From Brandee August 22nd, 2013"Janet got us our dream home. We couldn't be happier with the service she provided us. She was AMAZING and with us every step of the way.Ried Hurtig Helped me buy a home I am a first-time home investor from Washington state but working in Tennessee. Janet was recommended to me buy a friend who was using her to buy his home. Janet made contact with me and began helping me by sending me listings and discussing my objectives before ever visiting TN. She was caring, and very responsive to my needs.When I chose the house I wanted, she helped with every step and called immediately whenever she received new information, even when that info was faxed to her at 9:30 at night. The home-buying process can be intimidating, time-consuming and stressful, but Janet streamlined everything and made me feel comfortable. I trusted her fully and was highly impressed by her work ethic. I know very few people who work that hard. She never stopped until the job was done. She works with integrity and honesty, and she has a deep knowledge of her profession, the markets, the neighborhood characteristics, and all steps of the process. The house I bought had multiple bids and went through one re-listing period (for only 24 hours) by the seller, and if it weren't for Janet's attentiveness and excellent communication with me, I may not have gotten it. I was lucky to have her on my side. At closing, I found out that another buyer would have matched my offer, but did not know of this 24 hour re-listing. Janet's attention to detail is the reason I have my property. I cannot compare her with any other agents, as this is my first time buying property and using an agent, but I feel very fortunate to have had her working for me. I would absolutely give her the highest recommendation to any person buying a home, and I will certainly use her again on my future investments. Thank you Janet. It has been excellent working with you. I am more than satisfied. Sat, Jul 20, 2013nylee5 Helped me buy a home Janet returns all emails and phone calls very quickly.
