St. John & Vandervort: 25 Years of Proven Success

Experience with a Personal Touch…How Can We Help You?

 

Jane St. John and Carli Vandervort

“I think most folks would agree that we’re very professional and we always try to do the right thing in a transaction to make sure that the client is well represented and that all details are taken care of. We never lose sight of the goal of completing the sale, regardless of what we have to do to make that happen. We are very fortunate to have worked with clients repeatedly, helping them get their first property, and buying the next one after children come along. We’ve also done multiple transactions with clients, their children, relatives, and friends. We deeply appreciate the confidence and trust they have in us.”

 

People are Talking about St. John & Vandervort

St. John & Vandervort are justifiably proud of their proven track record and many years of success as real estate agents. Over the past 25 years, their sales record has climbed steadily and consistently, averaging 40-60 transactions per year. Each year has surpassed the previous year’s achievements. What is truly remarkable is that over 80% of these transactions were generated by referrals, business associates, and repeat clients!

 

These referrals are rewarding on a personal level and have also allowed St. John & Vandervort to extend their area of service and reach to include all of the Westside and Beach Communities of Los Angeles. They specialize in single-family residences, condominiums, and residential income property.

 

St. John & Vandervort also have a long history of handling corporate-owned relocation and bank-owned properties, probate and trust sales, and have represented Western Federal/RTC assets as well.

 

“We love what we do!”

”Even after so many years, there is still that satisfaction, that thrill when we get an accepted offer after difficult and intricate negotiations for a buyer or seller. We pride ourselves on keeping the dialog open until we can reach an agreeable compromise and achieve that goal. Unlike many other agents, who feel that their work is done once money or keys to a property has exchanged hands, we always follow-up after the close and take care of escrow issues that invariable come up. I think this is part of the reason we have such a loyal client base, one that is always growing and expanding. We really like what we do and it shows in how we have maintained relationship for many years with our past clients.”

 

Our Sales Record

While the average real estate agent nationwide sells 4 properties per year, St John and Vandervort complete an average of 40-60 transactions, putting them in the top 10% nationally. They are also in the top 5 percent of agents in their company, RE/MAX Estate Properties, on production, year to date.

 

“We pride ourselves on pricing properties accurately in an ever-changing marketplace. Our listings are marketed effectively to the general public and to the brokerage community.

We repeatedly sell our properties for 90-105% of the list price, when the industry-wide average is more like 85%. And with the price of properties in our service area, this can be translated into as much a $6,000 50 $40,000 bonus for our seller clients!”
