"Jan is family now! We’ve been looking for a house in Sierra Madre for a little over 3 years. The market is small and our wishes were very specific, we drove most local real estate agents crazy. Jan was patient and listened closely. We were in contact now and then, depending on what the market had to offer. After 3 years, we were tired of looking; tired of all the open houses. Then Jan called and said “you gotta look at this house.” A few weeks later we moved into our beautiful new house with the most amazing view over the San Gabriel Valley! I was 30 weeks pregnant when we moved in. Jan always offered her help and said she would be there when I need her. We have family in the area but not in town so we asked her if she could watch our toddler when we have to go to the birth center. One night I called her, and she answered her phone “do you need me to come?” and was there not even 5 minutes later. Very unplanned, we had a home birth (our baby came within 1 hour). Jan was there for our daughter’s first cry and was the first one to see her. Jan, you are family to us. Thank you for everything!" - Scott H.

"Jan Greteman was a gem of a realtor when we made the bold decision to take a plunge and move to the foothills. She was with us every step of the way. She answered all my questions and was quick to respond with my concerns. Both Jan and her partner Katie were timely, professional, and caring. When things were down to the wire and I was feeling overwhelmed Jan would check in and reassure me that all was well. She negotiated on our behalf in the best possible way. Jan is a strong and thorough realtor who does not possess the overbearing personality that you may find in some in the same profession. My husband and I were able to communicate our needs to her freely and she took the time to listen. She worked diligently so that we were at last able to purchase a very unique property that we are making into our forever home. We are extremely happy and grateful for her!" - Sheila F.

"I highly recommend working with Jan Greteman for all your real estate needs! Jan and I worked together to find the condominium of my dreams over a period of several years when I was periodically in the Pasadena area visiting my three children and five grandchildren. I believe Jan is quite intuitive when it comes to understanding a client’s needs, as well is as being very informed about available properties that will meet her client’s search criteria. Not only is she highly professional in all her efforts, she is quick to respond to emails and calls, and very important – she is fun to work with. I’m convinced I have her to thank for suggesting I write the sellers a personal note about my reasons for bidding on their apartment, which resulted in their acceptance of my bid, even though it was not the highest bid. A good realtor is a critical link between client and outcome in finding the perfect fit in a property. Jan provided just this service and I have thanked her many times for facilitating this new chapter of my life! I’m very glad I moved forward with bidding on the apartment and taking the step to become a property owner in Pasadena." - Liz P.

"Jan and Katie made selling our home a flawless and stress-free process even with our family moving out of state and having a newborn. With little time on our hands and big life changes, they handled every detail for us. Following their advice and guidance, we decided to make home improvements and stage our house. They managed the home improvements and every other detail with meticulous execution all while we are out of state. I can’t believe that through it all, we had a completely smooth transaction, and truthfully, it felt like partnering with trusted confidants you’ve been working with for years. Jan and Katie know what they are doing and they understand, in a very deep way, the best approach for all parties involved. They made selling our home feel easy and enjoyable. My wife and I are still stunned by how lucky we are, truly so fortunate, to work with them. As somebody with a Real Estate license, I can appreciate that these two are truly masters of their domain." - The Steingarts

★★★★★
"Our experience with Jan and Kate and the Webb- Martin Group truly was top notch. We are self admittedly picky and demanding and my expectations we not only met but exceeded. We had a very fast paced turnaround of buying our new home and then prepping the old house to sell in a short window of time. The team responded to every text, email, call and endless list of questions with thorough and seasoned advice. We sold our house in a matter of days MUCH over asking and are now settled and in love with our new home in Sierra Madre. I will go as far as to say for a process that is typically stressful, we had a lot of FUN!" - Elizabeth P.

★★★★★
"Having bought and sold many properties over the years I must say this was the smoothest, easiest sale yet. Jan Greteman made sure I had everything I needed. She and Katie ensured that I got the very best price, the best assistance for my move and wonderful support throughout the process." - Suellyn E.

★★★★★
"This team knows the San Gabriel Valley (and in our case the Sierra Madre) real estate market very well. Their smart advice was spot on. Listing our home with this team was a great choice as they made the entire process worry-free and efficient for us. Such a pleasure to work with these professional and caring people. Would work with them again in a heartbeat!" - Karen W.

★★★★★
"We just closed the sale of an investment property with Jan and she is EXCELLENT. I was reluctant at first to invest in the property to get it ready for sale but Jan was 💯correct and the resources to help. Her team came in and assessed the property and had it refreshed and ready in just a few short weeks. Her idea of staging the home was spot on and done in such a way that it was appealing to young family’s as their first home. Jan was organized, communicative, thorough, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Lucky to have come across here. She’s the one you want. Thank you Jan!" - Helen G.

★★★★★
"We recently worked with Jan Greteman on two transactions. An unexpected purchase of a wonderful Altadena fixer with additional lots, then the sale of our rental home. Jan was great working with us on the purchase, open to our ideas to get the purchase closed quickly for all parties. And we couldn't have been happier with our sale, which closed in just 12 days after less than a week on the market! She also was extremely helpful with staging, and recommendations for minor repairs. We would definitely work with Jan again." - Alicia B.

★★★★★
"Our experience using Jan as our realtor was fantastic, there really isn't enough we could say to do her justice. She gave us great advice and helped us through the buying process the whole way through. Buying during COVID was tough and Jan helped us get to the finish line with a very difficult bank. Her experience and savvy was also extremely helpful in a competitive market.Other agents we had worked with in the past left us disappointed, constantly feeling like we were being unreasonable or being a nuisance when asking questions. When we met Jan we realized that's not how it should be, especially when making such a big decision - she truly cared about and wanted the best for us. We wholeheartedly recommend Jan and Katie to anyone in the market, it was truly a pleasure working with them!" - Natasha and Nick

★★★★★
"When you need the best, you go to Webb Martin Group! We have exclusively used them to buy and sell our homes and every time they’ve gone above and beyond. Their knowledge and expertise is what keeps them several notches above anyone else is the business. They listen, advise and tell it to you straight. You are dealing with the best of the best! Webb Martin Group is and will continue to be our first choice. I cannot recommend them enough!" - Carrie and Carston B.

★★★★★
"We spent years looking for our “forever” home in Sierra Madre before meeting Jan. As soon as I met Jan, I knew I wanted to work with her. We really liked her straightforward, honest style. She is completely authentic and follows through on her word. She is never pushy, but ready to work hard and take action when you are ready. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and is a natural at making connections in the community. We were under a tremendous amount of stress during the purchase of our home and subsequent renovation and she handled it like a professional. What has impressed us the most about Jan is that now, a year after buying our home, she is still there for us. We have never experienced that before with past realtors. She helps us with referrals for projects around the house, invites us to community events, and stops by with pumpkins or other treats for the kids. It’s nice to have a realtor that cares about you after the deal closes and who you can call a friend when it is all said and done." - Nicole and Jason C.

★★★★★
"Katie (and, more recently, Jan) have helped us with at least 7 real estate transactions, which included locating highly desirable rental properties, purchasing 2 beautiful residences, and profitably selling 3 homes. They have been unfailingly attentive to our needs and desires, and their professional knowledge of the local market is extraordinary. Above all, they are patient, honest, kind, and deeply humane. I can't imagine working with any other realtor." - Caroline M.

★★★★★
"Over a 36 year period We have bought two homes and sold two homes with Judy Webb-Martin. Working with Katie Orth and Jan Greteman on the last three has been a pleasure. Each time - in three completely different housing markets - it was an excellent experience, personally and professionally. They listened, they advised and when a firm guidance was needed they gave it. They know what they are doing! They also know they are dealing with your home and respect that. They are not one size fits all realtors - and this last sale, we simply turned over to them knowing we were in good hands. Highly recommend them." - SE Doyle

★★★★★
"I highly recommend Judy, Katie & Jan. I have used their services many times over the years and have never been disappointed. When my mother passed away this year I had to sell her home. Even though I lived in Oregon they took care of everything for me long distance. They make the process easy!" - Nancy C.

★★★★★
"The most caring team in the biz. If you’re in The San Gabriel Valley, please don’t hesitate! They will take care of all your real estate needs. Love them." - Devon

★★★★★
"We recently worked with Jan and Katie to sell our home. Because of their experience and professionalism, it sold very quickly and at much more than the asking price. Jan and Katie are truly exceptional in every way, and we highly recommend them to everyone who is buying or selling real estate!" - Geoffrey M.
