“We went through buyer’s nightmare – three times - when our previous agent was not able to close the sale of our home in the Palisades, due to various contractual problems and buyers who weren’t properly qualified. We were at our wit’s end. But with Jane and Carli, within one week we had a serious buyer and they handled everything so smoothly – all the possible little glitches just melted away! Escrow closed in 30 days - and we are still singing their praises!”
—MaryAnne and Fred R., Pacific Palisades
"We don't think people take time to recognize people who have done an exceptional job. That's why we wanted to take a moment to make you aware of two people who are doing a stellar job. Jane St. John and Carli Vandervort listed our mother's home. Not only did they do a fine job of marketing the home, they handled themselves in a most professional and dignified manner throughout the very difficult dealing with a family member. We would be pleased to recommend them to anyone, and wish to be of any assistance in doing so in the future."
—Robert and Cathy, Playa del Rey

“When my company told me they were transferring me to Southern California, I was very pleased. But it also caused a turmoil of emotions as I knew I would not be able to follow things closely in California while wrapping up the sale of my condo in Texas, not to mention handling all the loose ends of moving.
When I knew I needed to find a new home in the area, I phoned St. John & Vandervort. I knew they understood exactly what I was looking for and the special help that would be necessary — they asked all the right questions!
They met me at LAX when I arrived and had a whole organized list of condos to visit. I immediately liked three of the properties we saw and by the end of the day, I had placed an offer on a great condo within walking distance of the Marina.
I had to fly back to Houston the next day. Jane and Carli handled all the paperwork and negotiations for me, making things so easy! I thought from the moment I met them that I was in good hands — and I knew I was right when I flew in for the final walk through. They had handled all the requests for repairs and changes, down to the minor details.
We closed right on time. I have nothing but good things to say about this team — they are first rate!”

“With a baby on the way and another toddler – and Max’s heavy work schedule at the studio, we knew that we needed a real helping hand selling our home and looking for our new one.
A friend referred us to Jane and Carli and it was a lifesaver! They gave us fantastic advice on what we needed to do to sell our house quickly and get top dollar. I mean, we could have spent months of renovating and thousands of dollars, with the house and our lives in uproar, but their suggestions made it simple, cost-effective and quick.
They found a wonderful couple, buying their first home, who fell in love with our place – and everything went like clockwork with the sale.
Then they found us a perfect home, with a fenced yard and near to wonderful schools – practically within walking distance of the studio. Because of their thoughtfulness, Max can even make it home for lunch – when he doesn’t have a picture in the pipeline.
I would highly recommend Jane and Carli to anyone buying or selling a home – and we have recommended them to other friends. They really do understand…”

“The service we received from the St. John - Vandervort team was wonderful. The plan they laid out to market and sell our home was excellent and very thorough. They secured a qualified buyer within a week and they walked us through the rest of the process, explaining all aspects along the way and getting back to us quickly whenever we called.
Their attention to detail was priceless! We have already recommended them to two other friends who want to sell their homes!”
—Barbara and Ken L., Santa Monica
"We imagined that selling our home would be a stressful experience, but with Jane and Carli in charge, this was not the case.
We decided to go with their team as they obviously knew the area and the market inside and out and we were very impressed with their professionalism and warmth.
They really listened to us, to our questions and concerns. They offered pointers on how to present the house for viewing. Then they quickly created an effective marketing strategy, listed our home, and within less time than we had expected, we had a qualified and serious buyer who really appreciated all the special qualities of our home.
Both Carli and Jane were there for us at every step of the way. They have our highest recommendation."
—Damon and Christy W., Santa Monica
“Everything seemed to move forward easily. Carli and Jane were able to answer all of our questions. Working with them was a great experience…”
—Barbara and William G., Brentwood
“Appreciated your sincere interest in your clients and their project sale. Your team communication and advance information were great…”
—Claudia L., Playa del Rey
“You were both kind and easy to work with. If one of you was out of the office, it was nice to have the other available. Please use us as a reference!”
— Brian and Yoomi L., Beverlywood
“My husband and I are artists, and we wanted to move to Venice. We knew that it was really difficult to find an affordable space that would allow us a comfortable living area as well as an attached studio where we both could work. We immediately felt comfortable with Carli and Jane – they knew the area and they understood exactly what type of space we needed. They found us the most amazing converted loft home with plenty of light and even storage areas! We just couldn’t believe it and still can’t believe our good fortune! I don’t think that another team of realtors could have ever helped us find something that worked so well for us! We can’t thank them enough!”
—Lindsey and Daniel S., Venice
“You know, I just had to write and say what a GREAT pleasure it was having Carli Vandervort and Jane St. John on my side during the recent purchase of my first home! The market here in California has been going so crazy lately, I just wanted to make sure that I would do the right thing, put my money into the right house, not make any mistakes. As soon as I met Jane and Carli, they put my mind at ease. I knew I was dealing with professionals, who really knew the market and understood my insecurities. They were just wonderful. They took me by the hand, explained everything – found me a GREAT house – and as we went step-through-step through the escrow, the appraisal, the inspection, they were there for me at every moment.
I LOVE my house, but when and if I decide to sell or buy again, they are definitely the ones I will call!”
—Denise R., Manhattan Beach
