Aaron and Diane orchestrated a magnificent marketing plan that netted us multiple offers and a selling price significantly above listing price.
In a hot market when realtors don’t “have” to do anything to get a house sold, the JanusGroup went the extra mile and treated us like their most important listing.
Aaron and Diane orchestrated a magnificent marketing plan that netted us multiple offers and a selling price significantly above listing price. We appreciated their willingness to take the reins and make things happen, suggesting little things we could do that would pay off big in the end, staging our home beautifully, and even raking leaves when a windstorm hit the night before video recording day!
They took the time to evaluate and create offer comparisons that made it easy for us to understand the merits of each and decide which was the best for us.
The JanusGroup is the perfect mix of professional and relational, and it’s too bad we don’t sell houses all the time because it would be a delight to work with them again!
We’ll work together to sell your home
With over 20 years of experience selling Seattle area homes, we know that each home sale is unique. Here are just a few of the more common scenarios that our seller clients find themselves in.
First-time Seller
We know that there’s a lot of noise out there about the many components of what makes a successful home sale. From photography to staging to pricing – there are a lot of moving parts. What you need is a team with over 20 years of experience who will listen to you and provide concise, informative advice that will enable you to make informed decisions.
Leveling Up Your Seattle Home
Congratulations on your hard-earned success. We’re thrilled for you. Now it’s time for you to level up. Is it mountain views that you want? Lake Washington or Puget Sound waterfront? There are so many options and opportunities for you to discover.
Selling a Seattle Home as The Executor of an Estate
You deserve to have a strong advocate in your corner who can handle all of the details and negotiate the best terms for you. From our experience working with individuals and families dealing with the sale of a home after a death, we understand that selling a home as the Executor of an Estate requires compassion and a light touch.
Selling a Seattle Investment Property
As Seattle area property investors ourselves, we understand that there comes a time when you need to cash out. Maximizing the return on your investment property requires three things: proper preparation, comprehensive marketing, and effective pricing and negotiation.
Downsizing Your Seattle Home
We will treat you and the downsizing transition with the care and respect that it deserves. We have helped many clients downsize their Seattle area homes for something that better fits their current phase of life. Our clients are often happier when they complete the downsizing process because they have the time they want to focus on their family, friends, and hobbies instead of all the upkeep of a large property.
Divorce and Selling Seattle Real Estate
Our team has personal and professional experience guiding people who need to sell a home as part of a divorce. We understand that selling a home during the painful journey of divorce requires patience and empathy. We have ridden the rollercoaster of emotions and successfully made it out the other side.

What to expect
How it works: Our 8 Step Home Selling Process
There are a lot of moving parts to selling real estate. For over 20 years, we’ve been working with home sellers like you to guide you from being ready to sell to a successful closing. Below, we provide an overview of the process.
1. Understanding your goals
Let’s get to know each other! Every home sale is different and happens for different reasons. We will sit down together at the beginning of the process to identify and get aligned on your goals.
2. Market analysis
This is one of the most important parts of the listing process. There are real downsides to both overpricing and underpricing. How do we find the right balance? We’ll visit your property in person and then perform a detailed market analysis that takes a look at market activities, recent sales, and trends. We will present you with our expert opinion and come to an agreement on the list price.
3. Preparing the listing
What type of work is needed to maximize your return on investment? Do you need to do a bit of remodeling work? Fresh paint? Deep cleaning? Update the landscaping? We have the vendor contacts to do excellent, cost-effective work.
We believe that every home should put its best foot forward. That’s why we include free home staging for all of our listings.
4. Photography and marketing
If there is one thing we know for sure, it’s that Buyers want to see amazing photographs of homes… and lots of them! All of our listings feature gorgeous HDR images. Professional photographs will make your home shine.
We then take those professional images to generate a comprehensive marketing strategy to sell your Seattle area home. Our approach includes targeted social media advertising, email marketing, and personalized 1-to-1 outreach.
5. Showings
Whether advertised public open houses or scheduled private showings, we’ll coordinate with you to minimize the impact on your day-to-day while also making sure the listing is accessible to buyers.
6. Offer negotiation
We will present and discuss all offers that we receive. We are fierce advocates on your behalf, negotiating with the buyer’s agent to get the best deal possible for you.
7. Acceptance, appraisal, and inspection
You’ve come to terms with the buyer. Now the home is going through appraisal and inspection. The appraisal guarantees that the price of the property matches the condition of the property, while the inspection makes sure that everything in the home is functioning properly and there are no major issues. These are the last steps before closing.
8. Close and celebrate! 🥂
You did it! The property is sold. Congratulations.

I’m very happy with my results
Aaron first caught my attention when I was buying from his team. Their eye for staging and aesthetics are spot on, and as a buyer, I was impressed at their negotiations and follow-up.
When it came time to sell my condo, I compared their offerings across several options (Redfin, Redfin + concierge, other agents) and felt that I’d get the level of attention I need to deal with the market and the unique circumstances I was in, and get the value-add of incredible staging that they provide as part of their package to boost my unit’s appeal.
I’m very happy with my results – we sold the condo quicker than I was expecting during a slow market AND the slow holiday season, without having to undercut my price point.
In addition to the results, Aaron and his team made the in-betweens very easy — they coordinated and managed updates, had beautiful staging (I literally gasped when I walked in and second-guessed if I wanted to sell), implemented a thorough cross-channel marketing plan, took care of unforeseen bumps with a positive attitude that kept me hopeful and at ease, coached me through multiple offers, and ultimately landed a happy and well-qualified buyer.
The cherry on top is that Aaron and team inject some fun and quirk into their practice (watch their home tour videos!), which for me gives some memorable personality to this whole endeavor. Thank you, Aaron, Diane, Belinda, and Brett, for all your hard work and seamless teamwork!
