"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jana McCool for over 25 years, and when it came time to sell my property, she was the only real option for me. Jana’s professionalism, experience, and deep knowledge of the Austin Metro market set her apart. Thanks to her skill and guidance, my property went under contract in just 10 days—even though average days on market in my neighborhood were much longer, with one property sitting for over a year.
Jana is the consummate professional and truly a pleasure to work with. She was an invaluable resource throughout the entire process, especially since I was out of state while the property was under contract. I cannot recommend her highly enough—Jana has my highest recommendation, and I’m grateful for the outstanding results she delivered.

"I’m from the Dallas area and wanted to make the move to Austin/Hill Country for more outdoor adventures. I wasn’t sure about location but knew I needed an expert in the area that could help me. I accidentally stumbled across Jana McCool’s link, and it was kismet! She quickly contacted me, and the process was underway. She is very knowledgeable about Austin and surrounding areas. She listened to what I was looking for and guided me to areas and potential houses that met those needs. She was very flexible with me as my interest moved from Austin to Wimberly and finally New Braunfels. As I was still deciding between locations, I spent 2 days touring homes in these areas and she was very organized and planned the viewings perfectly, helping me narrow location and on the second day we found my home. She was on top of everything throughout the entire process. She ensured quick responses from the seller’s team. She helped me with my final walkthrough and was truly there for each step. Aside from her robust professionalism, she is truly a beautiful person and I enjoyed working with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for realtor in the Austin area." - Shalon

"I worked with Realtor Jana McCool (for the third time) to sell my home. Her expertise was invaluable and she is the consummate professional! I can't wait to buy another home with her in a few months!" - Janet S.

★★★★★
"Jana McCool was absolutely wonderful! She fought hard for us to get us into our first home! As first-time home buyers we were in fantastic hands with Jana! She always kept us in the loop and kept us up to date as to what we needed to do and who to talk to! I can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done! Not only was she a realtor for us, she became a friend! We will be recommending her to any of our family and friends looking for houses in the greater Austin area! If you’re looking for an A1 realtor, Jana’s the one for you!" - Jack M.

★★★★★
"Jana is a fantastic realtor and has become a family friend. She is always on top of every detail. We have used her services many time and will continue to do so on our next purchase. " - Guadalupe H.

★★★★★
"Jana did a very good job, and I appreciate the extra effort she spent to make my purchase successful." - Lee

★★★★★
" Compass agent Jana McCool could not have been better. She was more like a guardian angel who has many years of experience and is kind, considerate, intelligent, hard-working, and a very efficient person. I tried several other agents last year, but most of the time they showed me places that were not in the areas I was interested in or not in my budget, and even though the market is so tight with limited homes for sale, Jana always found places that were suitable to my criteria. She also saved me thousands after my bid was accepted which will be used for renovations. Jana is the very best." - Nancy B.

★★★★★
"Jana went out of her way at every step of the house buying process for us, she made the search, viewing, purchase, and closing very easy for us to understand. She always went above and beyond expectations and added a welcome personal touch to our journey into Texas living." - Charles M/.

★★★★★
"This is the second time we have used Jana McCool. She took care of everything! She guided us through some frustrations and hard decisions with grace and kindness. " - Shanna P.

★★★★★
"Jana was a pleasure to work with. Out of 10 stars, I would definitely rate her at 11 if I could. She was very informative and helpful from the beginning and till the end. She follows up with everything in a timely manner and responded very quickly to our emails, text/phone calls. She always had questions for our other representatives about things that my fiancé and I didn't understand. We mentioned this to her already but we will definitely refer her to our families and friends if they're ever in need of a realtor. " - Tony T.

★★★★★
"Jana was great! She's been super helpful throughout the entire process and went above and beyond for us when we couldn't be there by attending a walkthrough in our absence. Always very prompt with responses to emails and text messages, and extremely personable. My wife would also like me to add that "she was very dedicated to us and our needs." - James S.

★★★★★
"When we hired Jana McCool as our agent, we had no doubt she would be thorough, honest, and caring. We were not disappointed as she made a very stressful experience relatively easy. She is a credit to the profession!" - Bill R.

★★★★★
"Jana is AMAZING, and I am very fortunate to have had her as my Realtor! Being a first-time home buyer, I had no clue what I was doing and was way out of my comfort zone. Not Jana McCool, though. She was an invaluable resource who both listened to and counseled me right from the start.
Armed with patience, decades of experience and wisdom, as well as a multitude of resources at her disposal, Jana made the entire process seamless and unbelievably easy for me. From beginning to end, Jana was professional and prepared (always on top of all moving pieces apart of the process). She was always accessible, courteous, and prompt in answering any and every correspondence (i.e., text, email, phone call). She went above and beyond expectations. Most importantly, though, she made me feel like family and not just another client.
Simply put, what I anticipated to be an extremely stressful life milestone ended up being an incredibly rewarding, wonderful, and smooth experience, all thanks to Jana McCool. I am extremely blessed and grateful to have had her in my corner and could not be happier with my new home. I 100% recommend Jana McCool to anyone looking for a Realtor. You will be hard-pressed to find a better one in the industry. Thank You, Jana!
" - Ross H.

★★★★★
"Jana McCool is the sweetest, most caring agent we’ve ever come across. If you get the opportunity to work with this wonderful woman, I would HIGHLY recommend it!" - Candace S.

★★★★★
"Candace and I lucked into contacting Jana. As first time home buyers, we didn’t have the slightest clue as to what we were doing. Jana made us feel comfortable with a very stressful process. She was very patient and understanding when we asked for four months to save more money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the future, and I have kept her contact info on my phone in case someone in the future needs it." - Ryan M.

★★★★★
"It's been a pleasure working with Jana. Out of the 20-or-so agents I researched, she was easily in the top 5 from her experience, profile, and my interview. She's been very professional, courteous, and informative, and I've felt welcome the moment I stepped into Compass' office. She also got me a great discount on my house as a cash buyer, which I doubt I could've done on my own, especially as a first-time buyer. She's also been helpful for me being remote (giving advice, attending my 1st inspection for me, etc.). Overall, I had a very positive experience working with Jana and would do so again and recommend her to friends/family." - Robert H.

★★★★★
"Jana McCool has helped me with two home purchases. She is a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable about the Austin area. She is definitely someone I can trust to stay on top of all the tasks to ensure smooth sailing at closing. Highly recommend." - Britney K.

★★★★★
"Sharon and I can't tell you how happy we were with our experience with Jana. We have purchased about ten properties/houses between the two of us all around the country, and this was by far the easiest even though we did it from Fort Worth. Jana was constantly following up with inspectors and our lender and always kept us in the loop. We enjoyed this process with Jana so much that we have recommended her to all of our friends that are wanting to relocate to or around Austin. Compass has a great one on staff, and I know that if we ever do any other real estate deals in the Austin area that Jana will be our first call." - Doug + Sharon H.

★★★★★
"John and I loved working with Jana! She was very organized and helped us use our limited home search time to the most advantage. She offered guidance on which areas to search based on our criteria of price range and proximity to our existing family in the area. Jana was a pleasure to work with, and we feel that we made a new friend in Austin. We would happily recommend Jana to anyone needing a good Realtor in the area. Thank you so much for our great experience." - Georgette + John E.

★★★★★
"Jana McCool was great. This is the second time I have used her. I would use Jana again without a second thought. I highly recommend her." - Paul S.

★★★★★
"My wife and I enjoyed a rewarding relationship and experience with Jana. Being retired, we were not limited to a specific geographic region or zip code. Jana helped us navigate several potential homes and home sites. She knew our style and wish list, which led us to our eventual purchase. Jana's expertise during the final stages of closing saved us from potential difficulties with the home. Having her as an advocate during this phase was particularly advantageous. We are grateful to Jana." - Tim + Janelle P.

★★★★★
"We couldn't be happier with how we were treated and represented by Jana McCool from Compass. Jana was extremely responsive and very proactive on communicating with us while we were selling our previous house in Oregon, and during our home search, the build completion, and the closing process of our new home in Buda, Texas. We had some difficult moments in coordinating the purchase of our new house that I'm not sure any other Realtor would have had the patience to deal with, but Jana helped guide us through these issues in an orderly and calm manner. Jana frequently checked on the progress of our new home when we were out of state, and sent us pictures of the final stages of the building progress of our new house. She helped us with the new home punch lists and final walk-through and communicated all the issues to our builder. Jana was cheerful, upbeat, and very professional throughout the entire process! We would wholeheartedly recommend Jana to anyone considering purchasing a home." - Wes + Val K.

★★★★★
"I had a great experience with Jana McCool as my Realtor. She did a fantastic job with helping me find homes with features that I was looking for. I appreciated Jana's positive attitude, hard work, and ease of accessibility as well as helpfulness with answering questions. I would definitely recommend Jana to friends and family that are looking for a Realtor." - John S.

★★★★★
"My experience was rough when my husband and I tried house hunting alone, I found Jana McCool on a website showing houses I clicked on her, and my gut and heart told me to email her. Within minutes she responded I was shocked at how she jumped right in and questioned myself on what kind of home we're we looking for, we told her and Jana went right to work. I can tell you that Jana McCool made me and my husband's house hunting experience worth it. It only took one house to look at for us to fall in love with. I can tell you guys this; go with Jana McCool you won't regret it! We closed on the closing day, and Jana sat in the office all day with us and didn't focus on any other clients until she was finished with us. My family and I will never forget her, and she's part of our family now. Thank you, Compass, for having a wonderful Realtors and staff like Jana McCool." - Rena T.

★★★★★
"We chose Jana because she was our agent when we bought our house in San Marcos over ten years ago. At that time she was so professional and lovely that we were thrilled to learn she was still in the business when it came time to sell the house. Jana has been extremely informative and professional throughout this entire proceeding. There were a few rough spots, and she took care of those so effectively that we didn't worry at all. We do not understand all the ins-and-outs of real estate, but we do feel that Jana has been exemplary in dealing with us, both when we bought the house and when we sold it. Our son hopes to move back to the Austin area, and we will not hesitate to call for Jana's help. We completely trust her guidance and advice." - Jim + Linda S.

★★★★★
"I loved working with Jana. She always listened to what I was interested in looking at and we only looked at four homes before I was able to close on one. I have already recommended Jana to friends in Austin. She was kind, thoughtful and always honest about what I needed to be looking for. I look forward to working with Jana again in the future!" - Sarah M.

★★★★★
"Jana was wonderful and was very dedicated to over a year to earn our business. Switching Realtors to Jana was the best decision we could have made. Keep up the good work Jana! " - Tom O.

★★★★★
"We were very pleased with Jana and her knowledge of the real estate market. She was the agent that the previous owner of the home had. He requested Jana to be our agent to sell the home when that time came. We also used Jana as our agent when we were looking for a new home. She helped us find a lovely home in San Marcos. We chose Jana because we all trusted her to do the right thing for us and to look out for our best interests. Jana did a good job for us." - V. Harris

★★★★★
"I want you to know how grateful I am for the work Jana McCool did to close the sale of my home. Jana was completely professional. She was always on top of all the pieces that had to happen to make the sale. But she went above and beyond my expectations. She prepared a special information package to assist in the appraisal process - and she also helped me search my yard for a septic clean-out! Jana is a knowledgeable and diligent real estate professional, but it's the personal attention she brings that sets her apart from other Realtors. She has no match." - Carolyn S.

★★★★★
"Jana is great at what she does! She was wonderful and patient with our family of four. Jana is detailed, knowledgeable, hardworking and can I say detailed again. We had our home built, and she was there every step of the way. Jana kept us posted and was on top of things. We couldn't have done it without her support; I sincerely mean that! We couldn't be happier with our new home and our journey to Austin." - Lulu C.

★★★★★
"I highly recommend Jana McCool whether you're selling or buying a house. She's the BEST!" - Elizabeth E.

★★★★★
"I would highly recommend Jana McCool with Compass! She made selling my home a pleasurable experience from start to finish. There was never a question that she didn't have an answer for and she covered all bases to complete the sale. She is very knowledgeable as well as very caring! I feel like I made a new friend along the way. She's the BEST!" - Sherry H.

★★★★★
"I just want to start by saying that we are extremely happy with the house and Jana's unwavering drive and commitment to herself and her professionalism. When you have the pleasure of working with someone who truly cares about the people she works with it makes the long, drawn out process of buying a home so much easier. We don't consider ourselves clients of Jana's. We don't consider Jana as just our realtor; we consider her our friend and therefore through Jana, Compass as being a part of our family. Both Ashley and I are in our mid 20's and have much to be thankful for. The month of October and early November brought us much joy and unfortunately hardship along with the joy, but working with Jana made life easy and bearable. We had the birth of our first child, a happy, healthy boy who now is six weeks old and the size of a 4-month-old. We bought a house and are now living happily away from the renting world and three flights of stairs to climb. It is a happy time in our lives, and we are thankful to have had Jana help us to find our perfect home. Again I just want to bring to light Jana's bright attitude and her unwavering dedication to making others happy through showing that she truly cares about the people she works with. She is truly the epitome of what it means to be professional and to truly care about those she works with. I hope that all of the staff at Compass are as professional as Jana is." - Kipp, Ashley, + Hayden

★★★★★
"My husband, Robert, and I had the pleasure of working with Jana McCool. We were living in Houston and trying to find a home long-distance wasn't easy. Jana had the patience of Job, driving us from one end of Austin to the other, spending hours helping us narrow down the area and type of home, always with a smile and 'that's what I'm here for'!. Thank you, Jana, for helping us find our 'little pocket of happiness'!" - Beth B.

★★★★★
"I just want to let your know that Jana's service to us was exceptional. We selected Jana a week before we went to a builder to purchase a home. At first, I wondered if we really needed her because we picked the builder and the model without her. Anytime I reached out to her she always responded quickly. Jana anticipated things we needed and keep us on target. Having her on our team was one of the best decisions we made. Because of her, I will recommend your company, and Jana personally to anyone I know that needs an agent." - Geoffrey R.

★★★★★
"Working with Jana McCool was an absolutely wonderful experience! As first time homeowners we had a million questions and Jana was able to answer all of them. She immediately found houses within our budget in the neighborhood that we really had our hearts set on. Jana really stood up for us and was always ready and willing to help anytime we needed it. She made us feel very comfortable and relaxed in the stressful environment of house buying. We 100% recommend Jana to anyone looking for a fantastic and exciting experience. Thanks Jana! " - Janie B.

★★★★★
"I want to give my thanks for such excellent care, professionalism, and patience. Jana is an excellent person and I wish the best to her and to the company she represents." - Jose M.

★★★★★
"Jana exceeded our expectations and then some. She knows the market very well and always gave great insight. Jana is extremely responsive, paying attention to detail. I am very blessed that God placed her in our path because she was the perfect person to help us sell our home in literally one day and buy the next one exactly as we wanted. I HIGHLY recommended her." - Veronica G.

★★★★★
"Jana was wonderful! She made our move from Dallas to Austin so simple and easy. She went above and beyond making sure we had all the information we needed. I really appreciated her throughout our walk-thrus as my husband could not make it. She is someone who I will miss interacting with to be perfectly honest." - Heather S.

★★★★★
"After a bad experience with another Realtor, Jana was referred by a friend. She went above and beyond to help me with every step. Within two weeks she had all preparations and pictures taken. The house was willed to me and had not been put in my name yet. Jana took care of everything. My house sold in two days for more than I asked. She is very pleasant to work with I will definitely recommend her highly to anyone. She is a miracle worker that made every step of the process smooth and stress free. Outstanding job!!" - Teresa

★★★★★
"I was in sales for over 30 years, ten years as a new home salesperson. I watched Jana work with a friend and was so impressed I asked her to help me. And she really did a great job. Some of Jana's strengths are in answering phone calls, e-mails and appointments. When she is working, she is totally focused on you. She previewed many homes for me as I live in Houston. As we worked together and I couldn't find a home I loved, she steered me to South austin and an acreage lot. It was perfect and my decision was immediate. Jana has continued to support and follow up after the closing. A truly great help that I have never experienced before. Last, who can resist Jana's warm, fun and geniune personality. I trusted her from the beginning. Jana McCool is simply the best." - Linda P.

★★★★★
"I was very impressed with the manner in which Jana organized my search for a home. After giving her my requirements for a home she put together a list of properties that fit within my guidelines. She went the extra step in previewing the homes before our visit. This shortened the list and I was able to find a home the first day. She did an outstanding job with the contract negotiations ending with a smooth and quick closing. I would use Jana again and have recommended her to a friend. I believe the referral has resulted in a contract on another house. Good job Jana!" - John S.

★★★★★
"Jana was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, it really felt like she had our best interest in mind, and she helped us to find an amazing deal that was best suited for us. Throughout the entire process she was available to answer questions at all hours and there to ensure that we were being fairly treated. We will definitely recommend her to anyone else we hear is looking to buy or sell a home." - Jordan C

★★★★★
"You made sure I got the best deal possible and you were with me to the end of the process. You made buying my first home as painless as possible." - Douglas K.

★★★★★
"You're honest, available, trustworthy and you don't miss a beat! You are also very positive and visionary." - Lorri R.

★★★★★
"Jana is the consummate realtor. Different members of our family have used Jana to buy and sell homes for the past 9 years (including this year) and each experience has been excellent. Her atten tion to detail, knowledge of the market and outgoing personality make for a winning combination. You can't go wrong with her on your side." - Marty E.

★★★★★
"Jana was talked about so highly by a friend, that I decided to utilize her for my primary home purchase. The experience was terrific! From the very first meeting until closing, Jana worked tirelessly to ensure that I had all the required info, forms, etc. to meet and exceed my expectations. I will definitely call on Jana again, when I'm ready to move forward with purchasing homes for rental properties. " - Phillip B.

★★★★★
" Thank You so much for your Professionalism to one of my closest friends. I have another friend of mine that I work with, who has been talking to me about looking for a home in his near future. When his time comes, which I am sure it will, I will be more than happy to refer him to you. " - Adrian M

★★★★★
"You listened to our wants and were always in tune to us. You got to know US and could read us, our thoughts and actions." - Pete + Teresa D.

★★★★★
"I wanted to thank you for assisting Phil in the purchase of his home. He had nothing but great things to say about working with you. " - Michael E.
