Jane Dehais

Jane believes you can work hard and have fun while doing it, and that real estate should feel supported, not stressful.

To her, this work has always been about more than transactions. It’s about relationships, trust, and helping people make smart, steady decisions around some of the biggest investments, and transitions, of their lives. Many clients begin as introductions and quickly become lifelong relationships, because they feel genuinely cared for throughout the process.

Known for her calm leadership, clear communication, and strong negotiation skills, Jane guides her clients from the very first conversation through settlement and beyond. Whether someone is preparing a home for market, searching for the right next chapter, or simply trying to understand their options, she brings clarity, strategy, and confidence to every step.

Jane is also a keen negotiator who leans heavily on data to guide pricing decisions and craft winning strategies for her clients. Every recommendation, from setting a list price to structuring a competitive offer, is grounded in market analytics, local expertise, and years of experience across the DMV.

What It’s Really Like to Work With Jane

When you hire Jane, you work directly with Jane.

In a market where many agents operate within large teams and clients are often handed off after the first meeting, Jane has intentionally built her business differently. She remains personally involved from start to finish, guiding strategy, pricing, negotiations, inspections, and closing, because experience matters in the moments that count.

At the same time, you’re never navigating the process alone. Jane is supported by a trusted team and network that allows her clients to feel fully taken care of.

Debbi oversees transaction management and keeps every detail organized and smooth behind the scenes. Susan provides expert interior design guidance that helps sellers present their homes at the highest level. Jane also works with trusted, licensed contractors across the DMV who can step in when thoughtful improvements make sense.

And through the Compass platform, clients benefit from industry-leading marketing, technology, and data-driven tools that give every listing and every offer a competitive edge.

The result is something rare: the personal attention of a seasoned, high-producing agent, backed by a powerful support system and national resources.

Supporting Buyers at Every Stage

Jane works with buyers across many life stages, and she understands that every move carries more than just financial considerations.

She works with young professionals purchasing their first home, helping them feel informed, protected, and confident in a competitive market. She guides couples who are merging lifestyles and households, navigating not just floor plans but future plans. She also represents move-up buyers who are ready to step into the next level of their lives, as careers grow, incomes expand, and aspirations take shape.

Jane’s role is to advocate fiercely, negotiate strategically, and ensure her clients feel supported through every decision along the way.

Guiding Sellers Through Meaningful Transitions

Jane also represents homeowners navigating important life changes - divorce, becoming empty nesters, retirement, or simply realizing that the home they once needed no longer fits their lifestyle.

For many sellers, downsizing or right-sizing is emotional as much as it is practical. Having raised her own children in the DMV and experienced many life transitions herself, Jane understands firsthand how personal these decisions can feel.

She brings empathy, perspective, and calm guidance to what can otherwise be a stressful or overwhelming time, helping clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

A Strategic, Proven Approach to Selling

Jane is especially known for her work as a listing specialist. She has built a strong record of minimizing days on market and helping sellers achieve top-dollar results through careful positioning, smart preparation, and strong negotiation.

Every seller’s situation is different. Some clients want a straightforward, as-is sale with minimal disruption. Others want to explore how strategic improvements could significantly increase value.

Jane provides options, not pressure.

If selling as-is makes the most sense, she positions the property carefully to protect value and attract serious buyers. If optimizing the home before market is the smarter move, she develops a comprehensive design and improvement plan, coordinating timelines, contractors, and presentation, to help the home rise to the top of its price range and maximize return on investment.

It’s never about over-improving. It’s about making informed, data-backed decisions that protect equity and optimize ROI.

Working With Investors

In addition to traditional buyers and sellers, Jane works closely with investors seeking long-term opportunity and value-add properties.

For clients purchasing homes to renovate and relist, she provides clear ARV (After Repair Value) analysis, renovation positioning guidance, and competitive acquisition negotiation designed to protect profit margins.

With resale strategy in mind from day one, Jane helps investors buy right, position right, and execute efficiently, especially in tight timelines.

A Relationship That Lasts

For Jane, the relationship doesn’t end at settlement. She remains a trusted resource long after closing, whether that means connecting clients with vetted vendors, answering homeownership questions, or helping plan the next move years down the road.

If you’re considering a move, or simply want clarity on what’s next, Jane believes it starts with a conversation. Together, you’ll build a thoughtful plan and execute it with care, strategy, and confidence.

If you’re selling, buying, investing, or deciding what makes the most sense, Jane would love to help.
