"This will be the 3rd time using Jane and the concierge services of The Jane Lee Team! We will never use anyone else! Her knowledge of the N and NW Chicago suburbs has consistently delivered fast sales and top dollar. Our home sold in 20 days and she also helped every step of the way whether it pertained to the property or just navigating the things we needed to do to close. She provided a great lawyer, trades people for our punch list, our movers, and even a piano mover. Now THATS service to make this process painless. She also has a staging service that’s included. Wow, they made the good look better and the average look fabulous. We will be calling her again and sharing our pleasant experiences with as many people as possible. She’s that good!"

AnaliniShetty"We had a really good experience selling our house through Jane Lee. Her team did a great job of working with us in getting the house ready and our house went into contact pretty quickly. I would recommend Jane Lee to my friends and family!"
"I have to take a moment to tell anyone interested in buying or selling a home to look no further than the Jane Lee Team. And believe me, their emphasis is on the team. The quality of the players on this team is outstanding. Their skill, professionalism, and follow-up are second to none. The resources they have available to delegate tasks to are amazing. Simply put, they get the job done, with peak performance. If you are considering buying or selling a home, you need not look anywhere for help and guidance. Just hook up with the Jane Lee Team. Bravo and thank you folks for your incredible performance! Your totally satisfied client, Jim Dennis, Mundelein, Illinois.”
