More about me . . .

STEVESTON (RICHMOND)

I love working with first time buyers (singles and families) - there is so much to learn through their education and the joy they experience in being able to become homeowners is contagious! The home buying and selling process is a transitional time for everyone and I particular enjoy working with people where life transitions have brought them to a place of great change. Some joyful, some not so much.

Working and living in a city of high immigration has also provided me with many opportunities to work with newcomers to the country. I get to work alongside other realtors in partnership as I only speak one language! More learning!!! :)

The areas of Richmond, Ladner/Tsawwassen are the most comfortable and familiar for me. I have lived in these communities most of my life and raised my children here. I know the schools, the sport teams, the little shops, the contractors . . . the stuff that makes up the fabric of any community.

CENTENNIAL BEACH (TSAWWASSEN)

I recommend her with all my heart!!!

I met Jan Rankin when I least expected to. For quite some time I was flirting with the idea of buying a condo ,but, being a single mom, I was too scared to make the step.I went to some open houses, and I met Jan, and in our first conversation I told her about my dream of having my property, a new nice place for me and my son. She listened carefully and in the months to follow she showed us many beautiful places;both apartments and townhouses, she payed attention to my fears,my doubts,my dreams.
She was the one who opened my eyes regarding what to look for when buying a house, how much to spend, what area to look for. She exceeded my expectations and she amazed me with her calm and promptness.She'd talk to me every time I had something to ask , she'd explain and she'd be truthfully and totally dedicated to me, as a client.
In a few months, she found me the place of my dreams which is a townhouse ,in a very nice neighborhood, with great schools around.
I love my house, and I didn't even dream of owning such a nice place.All this, thanks to Jan Rankin: a great real estate agent and great lady. She gained,through hard work, all my respect and consideration and if I'll ever buy another house she is the agent I want to represent me. I recommend her with all my heart!!!

Thank you, Jan!

Jan has been incredibly helpful and supportive

Jan has been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout our long and winding journey to find a home. She always has indispensable advice and guidance aplenty "on tap," no doubt coming from her many years of considerable experience. (Often over Starbucks) Jan always made herself readily available in person, on the phone or via email. She bent over backwards to accommodate our wacky work schedules. Jan also knew when to step back and let us work through our (initial) indecisiveness alone. She was easy-going despite our occasional radical shifts in direction, and would always accomodate our various whims of fancy. At the end of it all, though, with Jan at our side we found a wonderful place to call home

My husband and I first met Jan at an open-house

My husband and I first met Jan at an open-house, and from that first meeting we felt very comfortable with her. At the time we were thinking of selling our home and down-sizing to a townhome, but we were so undecided. Over the next year, Jan kept in touch with emails, and sent new listings for us to look over.
Jan never once made us feel rushed to make a decision, she was never aggressive, and always very patient. Finally we decided, listed our home with Jan, and the next six months were a whirlwind of open-houses and touring around with Jan looking at homes to purchase. Throughout this time, we changed our minds and direction several times. Jan was always very supportive; she always listened and worked tirelessly on our behalf. With Jan's guidance we sold our home and found a beautiful townhome. We are so happy. We are very lucky to have met Jan, we have become good friends and continue to remain in contact with this very special person.
