“If you live anywhere in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago you couldn’t have a better agent to sell your property than Jan Bentall from Baird and Warner! I was impressed with the history and values of this company! More importantly I was impressed with the service I received from Jan in both buying and selling my home. Jan is knowledgeable, professional, responsible, and effective in marketing and selling. It is also clear that she. cares about you as a person and will do anything necessary to support you through this process, which can be stressful. I always felt I was getting the best advice from Jan, and she was very patient explaining the things I didn’t understand. She was by my side each step of the way, and made herself available whenever I needed her. I have already recommended her to two of my neighbors. I would highly recommend Jan to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.” ~ Client Review
“Jan Bentall’s personality and personal touch made my home sale experience much less stressful than it could have been. I’ve used her twice and would highly recommend her based on her experience and strong, solid knowledge of the business!” ~ Client Review
“My husband and I were first time home buyers and didn’t really know how the buying process worked. Jan Bentall calmed our nerves and made the buying process easy and fun. We started looking well within our budget and Jan recommended renovations that would still keep us within our budget. She was very knowledgeable and honest about the condition of the homes and the investment each property would require. She was extremely available to talk anytime we had questions. She was always quick to email/text/call even when she was out of state. We bought a house shortly after starting our search and felt that the whole process went very smoothly. We will definitely be working with Jan again in the future and we’d recommend her to anyone (new or experienced buyers).” ~ Client Review
“Jan has always been very professional from the beginning to the end in dealing with home purchases or sales. She is extremely concerned of her clients needs and always goes beyond what is expected to make sure the client’s best interest comes first. I know that when I deal with Jan whether is is purchasing or selling a property she will be 100 percent devoted to making sure everything goes right. I have highly recommended her to others and she has always come through. The feedback I have received from others was “she was just great to work with “. I guess that say’s it all.” ~ Client Review

“Jan Bentall was fantastic! She really understood what I was looking for in a place but made sure that I saw other types as well. This was important because it really made me confident in my decision. She was very knowledgeable and considerate at all of the showings. She knew when I knew that I wanted to buy the house. It was a really fun experience with her and I could not be happier with my new home.” ~ Client Review
“Jan is a real estate customer’s dream, plain and simple. She puts herself in your shoes to make sure you do not do anything you don’t want to do. Jan will tell you honestly if she thinks a house is not right for you, because she knows that this process gets emotional for her clients, and she keeps you grounded and calm and helps you stay the course. It is clear Jan would rather not make a sale than make a bad deal that would not be the right deal for her clients. She truly puts clients first.” ~ Client Review
