Get to Know Jan Green - Scottsdale, AZ

Having grown up in the Midwest, values are extremely important to me.  It's my mantra to treat people with courtesy, respect and integrity.  Prior to becoming a REALTOR® in 2002, my background was Property Management, Banking, Securities Licensed Insurance Agent, and business owner in Kansas, Alabama and Tennessee. 

 

When I assist homeowners and investors with real estate purchases and sales, my experience benefits buyers and sellers as my focus is to encompass every aspect of that purchase or sale.  I may send you to an attorney or CPA to collaborate to make sure you are protected in every aspect of liability as an investor or if you are short selling a property.  Practicing in my area of expertise is extremely important as it's beneficial to align yourself with professionals in every field, not just real estate. 

 

I'm honored to teach a unique course I created as an accredited instructor for the Scottsdale Area Association of REALTORS® (SAAR.)  My course includes information related to Energy Audits, Building Science,  Energy Retrofits, Certified Homes, and selling homes with Solar Panels.  

 

As a volunteer with the  US Green Building Council, AZ Chapter, since March, 2009, I've accomplished adding over 65 green features to the Arizona Regional MLS, helped to bring appraiser education to Arizona for green courses and solar courses.  I've created speaker panels since February, 2012 and have spoken at MANY venues about ways to bring more value to homes with energy efficient and sustainable features. 

 

Clients tell me I am conscientious, thorough, caring, observant, helpful, easy to understand, have attention to detail, and a creative problem solver! 

I'm blessed to be 100% repeat and referral clients and work hard to maintain relationships with them.  They feel secure in knowing that I have their best interests at heart.  Check out testimonials  from current and past clients!

Certifications

I have earned and maintained the NAR GREEN, EcoBroker, Short sale & Foreclosure Resource, Accredited Buyer Representative, Second home and Resort Specialist, and the Master Certification for High Performance Homes.  Being a GREEN agent is a passion of mine.  I grew up with the name Green in the Midwest and still remember my eco-friendly upbringing!  Do you look for energy efficient features when viewing homes?  Most likely the answer is no.  My job is to assist with healthier homes, reducing energy bills, and reducing your carbon footprint.  

Please visit my website for links to businesses with green products and services. https://gotgreen.info/services  The businesses listed are part of my green networking group, simply titled my "Green Group."   This is a dedicated group of green professionals that include builders, architects, remodelers, roofers, insulation companies, solar companies, and many others with helpful links. 

 

Video and other publications include: TV and podcast interviews regarding my own Net Zero home;  interviewed by RSN at the RE/MAX Convention;  featured in Cyberhomes.com February 2009;  Arizona Republic 8/1/2018,  and CNNMoney.com, Arizona School of Real Estate,;  Zero Energy Homes magazine and continuous speaking opportunities.  I've also spoken at the Ohio Association to their membership in 2023 and at the National Association of REALTORS Sustainability Summit in 2024 alongside the founder of PEARL Certificaiton and Passive House Minnesota in Minneapolis.  

 

In 2012, I received the RE/MAX Above The Crowd Award for my efforts in community involvement in sustainability;  was the first volunteer of the month for the US Green Building Council, Arizona Chapter. 

Earning the Evergreen award from the National Association of REALTORS in November, 2022 was truly humbling.  The Evergreen Award is the hallmark of an agent specializing in sustainability!

I rarely write recommendations for people, but Jan Green is special. Jan is personable and professional. She's a good listener and communicator. Importantly, she understands the Arizona housing market exceedingly well. I have health issues, which complicated our real estate search. Yet, Jan was never daunted and hung in there with us even when it appeared we wouldn't find anything that worked. Throughout, my husband and I felt that Jan always had our best interests at heart. Moreover, the aptly named Ms. Green is very knowledgeable about eco-friendly and health-friendly matters. If you're looking for a realtor, both my husband and I would give Jan our highest endorsement.

We recently sold our Ahwatukee home and used Jan Green as our realtor. The whole process, from listing to selling, was smooth as silk thanks to Jan’s expertise and endless patience with our many questions. My husband and I had worked hard to make our home environmentally friendly, from adding solar panels to water saving measures, and Jan was instrumental in making sure we got recognition for that through Pearl certification. She also helped come up with an appropriate asking price for the home that attracted great interest. She fielded endless requests for showings before we were ready and once we were officially on the market, she respected our wishes to wait a week to review offers. As we were out of town, we met via Zoom to go over the multiple, competitive offers and Jan had prepared a spread sheet for us to compare them. The house sold one week after we listed for well over asking price. As we didn’t find the Title company very communicative, Jan continued to get answers to our questions. We highly recommend Jan for either your selling or buying needs. We had two friends use her for buying houses and she worked tirelessly till she found them the right house. I think it is rare for a realtor to shine at both buying and selling, but Jan Green most assuredly does! We highly recommend her.

I started working with Jan on an energy efficiency trade organization board in 2014. I quickly came to know Jan as one of the most passionate supporters and leaders in the green building industry. If you've got a question on anything green, Jan is probably the person to go to. In 2016, my wife and I decided to work with Jan on purchasing our first home and could not have been happier. The entire process was so smooth due to her hard work. Immediately after our home inspection, she had an army of people come in and give quotes on things that needed to be fixed. She helped negotiate and got us into the perfect home. I strongly recommend working with Jan on anything you have the opportunity to. Justine and I will be using Jan for all future home purchases.

If you want the best, go with Jan! She was an amazing help in our search for the perfect house. She always made sure to show us only nice houses so we did not waste time, explaining the positives and negatives of each one. Jan negotiated a great deal for us with the sellers that we would not even know to ask for. Thanks to Jan and her great team and long-term connections, we were able to not just buy our perfect home, but also get green improvements which will save even more money over time. Jan was always quick to respond with any question and if she did not know the answer she was able to find it right away.

Congratulations Jan Green, on earning your 2015 Service Award from EcoBroker International. Very well deserved. How serendipitous that your last name is “Green”? A Million Thanks to you for being such a great resource for me, as I listed my first home with a paid off solar system. It was important to me to get value for them, since the neighborhood also just posted a short sale. You were always available to answer questions. And you are SO knowledgeable. Green is truly your passion. With your guidance and help on how to convey to the appraiser the inherent residual value of the Solar, and two appraisers later, the home did appraise. And for over list price! We were happy with a full price offer, and they won’t even tell me how much OVER the appraisal came in at. Funny how the the appraiser needed another 8 days to complete. Saying it was to finish the solar addendum. I had only taken 3 classes on solar to date, but with you as my cheerleader, helped me ensure that my Sellers got real dollars and cents credit for the substantial solar equipment they had paid for up front. You gave me the exact verbiage, resources, and talking points I needed to argue my case with the lender and appraisal companies. Oh, and by the way, you also saved my family. Did I mention it was my sisters house? Thank you is just not enough! ~ Barb Chew HOMESMART

Great experience working with Jan who advised me of all important aspects of purchasing a home. Was a very good advocate in communicating, helpful agent in negotiating repairs needed to the home. I would have no problem recommending Jan Green as a real estate to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

To Whom It May Concern, RE our realtor Jan Green: Last Spring we chose Jan Green to handle the sale of our home in Scottsdale. We worked with her to prepare our home for sale and to make it look as "market ready" as possible including some key interior updates. On her recommendation we hired an independent inspector who came to the home and gave it a far more thorough "going over" than is normal and who produced a book outlining the status of all major systems and items with a list of suggested repairs or improvements. We followed the suggestions, though a bit more pricy than we would have liked, and when all was ready placed our home on the market at a fair price in this down market. Thanks to all this effort by Jan, in less than thirty days we had an offer we accepted that closed a few weeks later. Jan handled all the details while we were on extensive time out of town on business and made even a couple of minor "glitches" disappear. This is the not the best time to be a seller and Jan confronted the market for us well. Most importantly to us Jan did what she said she would do, on time, and as promised. In business today there are too many professionals whose word is not honored by them so this was a most pleasant part of the transaction. We recommend her highly. With Best Regards, AS & PS

When I first met Jan Green she was diligently working on a marketing effort for a new listings she and an associate agent contracted. Jan has always impressed me with her skills in managing task no matter what it is, she is on target and never wavers until completely satisified with completing the objective. I have personally worked with Jan sharing the efforts of two clients wanting to sell their properties. Both were a success having accomplished a sale and purchase for one client and a sale for the other. Jan is an accompllished agent always keeping up with technology and always with her pulse on the current market. If you are considering Jan Green as an agent, I personally would highly recommend her.
