Jason Shaw – The Janter Group

I was referred to Jason through a very good friend. At the time, my home sale situation was beyond complex — right in the heart of the recession, foreclosures and short sales escalating, and very limited financing available for buyers. Jason explained market conditions in a very simple and comprehensive way that allowed me to understand options and build contingencies. Througout the process, Jason eloquently explained legal, economical, marketing and buyer aspects that in the end allowed me to make very good decisions. Whenever I was inclined to make a high risk decision, Jason took his time to explain the pros and cons and reminded me he would back me up regardless. His negotiation skills are superb and treated both buyer and me with tremendous tact and consideration. Not sure how he does it, but he met both our needs and that is a reflection of how good is and how he manages things with highest sense of integrity. His market analysis was very deep and fundamental in allowing me to make best decisions. He was extremely patient and understanding given market conditions, but in a very polite way would press on making decisions before it was too late. In the end, we sold the house in record time when I feared it could be on the market 6 months plus. Jason has a good grasp on best marketing techniques, including superb photography and crips online ad. Last, but not least, Jason always made himself available and provided advice in many areas that exceeded his role as real estate agent. Working with Jason is hands down the best decision you can make.

Jason is exactly the type of real estate professional you would want helping you purchase a new home. He’s very knowledgeable about the industry as a whole, the local market and neighborhoods. We had some ambitious must-​haves as first-​time home-​buyers, but we felt that we could find what we were looking for in this economy. Jason really listened to us, was diplomatic about what was realistic for us and ever so patient. We always felt like he knew what he was talking about, that we could trust him and that he would guide us in the right direction. Jason made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. It was a great experience working with him. We’ll definitely recommend him to other people and have him sell our home when we’re ready. Not only did we end up with an amazing new place, but we’re proud to say that Jason ended up becoming a good friend.

Jason went above and beyond my expectations throughout all the stages of my home purchase process to find, negotiate for, and close on a fantastic property that I love. As a first-​time buyer, I needed a lot of guidance and education on all aspects of purchasing in Chicago and I found Jason to be extremely knowledgeable and patient in explaining the concepts and nuances of buying in this market. After an extensive search, Jason’s guidance and active negotiations ensured that the agreed price was aggressive, competitive, and at my target for the home. He was patient and persistent through the negotiations, and I’m very confident I got the best price I could have for my home. Finally, when it came to closing on the property, Jason was extremely helpful in facilitating connections with lenders and real estate attorneys that fit my needs and also provided excellent service. He led the team that worked through several issues and roadblocks through the closing process and took care of many details while I was focused on a large project at work that required significant travel and attention. I would recommend Jason to any of my friends, and look forward to working with him again when I’m ready to make my next purchase.

Jason’s fantastic. He took a task that many people consider a chore and made it fun. Who likes looking at condo after condo after condo, right? I was dreading numerous weeks to months of looking yet, after the first day, he knew our preferences so well that the remainder of the places we saw were in line with what we were looking for. How many people can say that they made their final choice from 4 solid options that they found in a few short weeks? What really makes him stand out among other agents are his effective people skills, quick communication, and the fact that he makes the effort to get to know you as individuals, rather than just customers. I would (and will) recommend Jason to everyone I know that is looking to buy or sell. I don’t think you’ll find anyone better.

We were extremely happy with the work Jason did on helping us find a new home and on selling our previous home. We will undoubtedly refer Jason to anyone looking for a real estate agent.
Jason’s knowledge of the market and his professionalism really stood out but above all I was impressed that he really listened to what we were looking for and never once tried to make a place seem better than it was just for the sake of getting us into something. I recall a couple of specific instances where Jason recognized as soon as we walked through the door of some places that they were not what we wanted. Instead of talking them up he looked at us and said «this is not what you are looking for» and we moved on. We ultimately bought a great place that we are extremely happy with and we owe a lot of it to Jason.
