Spencer Benton, Seller in Roy

Upon purchasing a home I used a different realtor and had a poor experience that left a bad taste in my mouth. When it came time to sell, I reached out to the Sherwood team and from the very start it was a perfect fit! They helped navigate me through a complicated sale and made sure that it closed on time, despite numerous issues outside our control. They were value-added from start to finish. Could not recommend them more!

Katie Weatherford, Buyer and Seller in Olympia

Jana and Alan were so amazing for both our buying/selling process. They worked with us even though we were literally across the country trying to buy for the first time. Not only are they an amazing realtor duo, they are great parents and friends! Highly, highly recommend. If/when we move back to the area, we will be utilizing them again :)

Michael Payne, Seller in Roy

We had the pleasure of working with Alan and Jana Sherwood (Team Sherwood Real Estate) for the sale of our home, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. After interviewing several realtors, we were initially overwhelmed by how many additional people we’d have to hire to get our home ready for the market—photographers, stagers, cleaners, and more. But then we met Alan and Jana, and they completely exceeded our expectations by handling every aspect of preparing our home with their own team!

One of the most pleasant surprises was the comprehensive nature of their service. They took care of all the cleaning, staged the home beautifully, and captured breathtaking photos—including a 3D interactive virtual tour, which allowed potential buyers to experience our home from every angle. They even went above and beyond by using drone footage to showcase not only the house but also the surrounding property in a way that was truly captivating. Honestly, our house had never looked so good—I almost regretted selling it!

Their marketing strategy was also second to none. Not only did they list our home on every major platform, but they also reached out to military families by posting on the local base, ensuring we reached a wide and diverse audience. This was something we hadn’t even thought about, but Alan and Jana’s insight and thoroughness showed just how well they know their market.

Throughout the entire process, Alan and Jana were a dream to work with. Their communication was clear and consistent, and they were always available to address any concerns or questions we had. They walked us through every step, from the initial listing to the final closing, and took care of any issues that arose with calm professionalism. Their friendly, down-to-earth approach made the whole experience feel stress-free.

In a time when moving can be one of the most stressful life events, knowing that selling our home was in the capable hands of Alan and Jana allowed us to focus on other parts of our relocation without a worry. Their all-inclusive service, expert marketing, and personable nature made what could have been a stressful process smooth and even enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome, and we can’t recommend Team Sherwood enough! If you're looking for real estate agents who will go the extra mile and make you feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process, look no further.

We’ve gratefully known Alan and Jana for many years. In that time, they’ve helped us assess the value of our property and look for new.They are both so concerned for their clients they work for, working diligently to find just the right properties while being kind and patient. We are so impressed with their integrity and willingness to help out any way they can. They are the perfect realtor combo with incredible knowledge of the business, technical procedures and properties they offer here in Washington state.

Jan Seddon, Seller in Federal Way

Alan and Jana make a great team. They go above and beyond expectations, I have recently sold a condo through them in very difficult circumstances. I’m in the UK and they handled all the details remotely. Highly recommended!

Ashley Klein, Seller in Yelm

Jana is absolutely amazing. One of the most sincere, friendly and hard working people I have ever met. Jana was always very transparent and stayed in contact with us. She would give us updates as soon as they became available. If you need a realtor in Washington state, there is no one else I would recommend more.

John Hicks, Sold in Toledo

Jana was very helpful and kept us up to date with details throughout the entire process. Very easy to work with. Thank you.

Grace Zaikoski, Buyer in Yelm

I can’t recommend Team Sherwood enough. Jana and Alan are kind, understanding, and helpful—but more than that, they are knowledgeable, hard-working, and absolutely stellar relators. You can feel secure knowing these guys are on your team. I felt so lucky to have Team Sherwood for our home-buying process.

Choose Team Sherwood because they are:
-Informed
-Helpful
-Communicative
-Prompt
-Experienced
-Hard-working
-Amazing
-Trustworthy, genuine, great people.

From the very start, Jana and Alan were on top of things. They were thorough, helpful, communicative, and so hard-working. Every time I spoke with them, they were helpful, informed, and so gracious—you never felt rushed, never felt like an inconvenience, and you never feel "pushed" the way some realtors can come across. Jana and Alan are the real deal: people who know their stuff and are trustworthy, too. Talking with them was never like talking to “a realtor,” but more like long-time friends helping you through some annoying paperwork!

Jana called me daily with updates: she was always on top of keeping communication open with calls, texts, and emails, guiding us through the process and answering my (many) questions promptly. I appreciated how great they both were at keeping us in the loop constantly. I knew we had a great team of realtors when Jana called me at 9pm one night – on her own personal time—to share the good news that our offer was accepted. She was eager to share the joy and help us get rolling – that’s when I knew Jana and Alan were a special team. That ethic persisted for the entire process, and we were able to close on our home quickly thanks to their hard work.

They went over and above to help us close on time; we had the added hurdle of dealing with VA loan details. Team Sherwood didn’t bat an eye at the VA requirements: they were well-equipped to deal with VA paperwork. As a military family, we had some schedule conflicts and extra boxes to check—Jana and Alan knew exactly what to do. They were understanding and on top of the required documentation. I recommend them to any homebuyer, but especially if you’re a veteran.

We are so grateful for the work they put in –they went over and above to work for us and help close on our home. I know that we could go to them with questions any time, and they’d answer honestly and quickly. We are so thrilled to be here, and they are a special part of this new chapter in our lives. Truly, genuinely wonderful people to work with. They put our needs first, adapted to some schedule conflicts, knew how to handle VA requirements, and were always a joy to talk to with updates. 12/10 recommend. We hope to stay here a long time, but we'll be using them again when/if the time comes to move.

Kirsa Holzmeister, Seller in Yelm

When we had decided to sell our Yelm home I did extensive digging for a good team to help us sell after being duped into buying a home we thought was move in ready and having to completely renovate our home. When I came across Jana and Alan I had no doubts they were who we needed! We had a very long sales process, with many hard negotiations and more than a fair share of crazy offers and buyers backing out, but the one constant was Jana! She always walked us through any decisions or details we were unsure of, we moved out of state before our home was sold and she even watered my plants and aired out our home. They promoted and advertised our home so much I'm sure they got sick of looking at it. Jana never once doubted our home would sell and kept our spirits up even when we began to get discouraged with low offers in a very rough market. I wish we could bring Jana with us for all of our home transactions forever more. I'd trust Windermere with even my closest friends and family so if you're looking for someone who isn't just all about the business but cares about you as a person, and getting you the best deal whether selling or buying trust Jana and Alan Sherwood, they won't let you down.

Chad Berg, Buyer in Puyallup

My family and I were first time home buyers and didn't know where to start. Alan and Jana helped every step of the way. They were available anytime to answer any questions or concerns we had. We recommend them to everyone now!

Alice Richards, Buyer in Olympia

Alan & Jana Sherwood came highly recommended to us, and they did an amazing job from start to finish with our real estate search and purchase. We hope to use them again in the near future when more of our family moves to the Olympia area. Recommendations to family members carries even more weight than 5 stars!

Kalee Sherman, buyer in Rainier

What a wonderful team to work with!! We recently partnered with Team Sherwood to purchase our home. Very communicative, knowledgeable and kind. Thank you Alan & Jana. - From the Sherman's

Dave Welsh, Buyer Olympia

You absolutely cannot go wrong picking Alan and Jana as your real estate agents. They were fast and responsive, and got us any information we requested. Alan even drove hours all over Western Washington, to assist in finding us a home.

Derrick Heibert, Seller in Olympia

We had a wonderful experience with Jana and Alan. They immediately saw our house for what it was and were able to sell for significantly higher than other realtors thought it could. They helped us stage with our own stuff plus some of theirs at no cost and their photo and listing quality was the best of what I've seen. Beyond this, however, was that they were so warm, caring, and were constantly available and checking in throughout the sales process. I truly believe their service was worth the money. If you are buying or selling, I unreservedly recommend them.

Cassie Sotelo, Buyer and Seller in Puyallup and Spanaway

I can’t say enough amazing things regarding Jana and Alan and working with them on buying our home in Washington. They made it extremely easy for us even when we had a million questions. They were always there and made buying our some a smooth process. We are so happy with the experience and outcome.

Praneetha Sistla, Seller in Yelm

Jana has been absolute rockstar throughout the process of selling my land. I was having a hard time selling it given the market so she marketed it really well and would update me about every change and updates. I loved working with Jana and cannot recommend her enough!

Kailey Richards, Buyer in Olympia

I worked with Team Sherwood to purchase my dream home in Olympia and it was a perfect experience! I'm grateful to have had their expertise and dedication throughout. Alan & Jana are highly knowledgeable about the market and were not deterred by the tight timelines that I had for buying, and we ended up with an even better outcome than I could have hoped for. Truly a great experience and I'd highly recommend working with Team Sherwood!

Michael Pardoe, Seller in Yelm

I could not ask for a better experience selling our home than with Team Sherwood. Jana was knowledgable about what we needed to do to successfully negotiate the sale of our home every step of the way; from multiple offers the first weekend, to the buyers last minute request to close early. She communicated clearly and let us make decisions during the process that were best for our family. Jana worked with honesty and integrity that were very much appreciated. What could have been a very stressful and difficult experience was smooth sailing for us! I would recommend Team Sherwood for anyone buying or selling a home, without hesitation.

Rosanna Hernandez, Buyer and Seller in Puyallup

If I could give ten stars I would. Alan helped us buy our first home in Washington and Jana helped us sell it. They did a phenomenal job with both. They answered all our questions no matter what day or time. They helped make the process of buying and selling go as smooth as possible. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Inga Araya, Seller in Yelm

Jana and Alan did a wonderful job!! I had to sell my house with my ex-husband. We do not have a good relationship. Jana was able to communicate with both of us and help us communicate with each other. We also faced up some big obstacles during the sale. Jana and Alan walked me through the process, filled out forms for me, gave me references, hired workers and even took my place when I wasn't able to talk to a buyer, or a house worker. I was able to sell my house in roughly 6 months, which was incredible to me because the house needed work. It was all because of Jana and Allan great efforts and cooperating with me and finding the right buyer. I would definitely recommend them to everyone who's buying or selling. Great team! 5 stars indeed!!

Tyson Walker, Lender Partner

Worked with them for years as a lender and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Then when I had a family member need to sell a home in their area a couple years back, they were my first call and they did an incredible job. You need someone like them in your corner!

Joy Bailey, Buyer in Chehalis

Such Good People!
Alan and Jana were really easy to work with during our move out of state. We chose them because they are Dave Ramsey Endorsed Local Providers, but also because of their unique partnership (Alan works primarily with buyers, Jana with sellers).
We trusted them right away, and even bought a house sight-unseen based on their walk-through and opinions. Alan went the extra mile by doing our final walk-through and installing a contractor's box with our keys since we were not in town for the closing. On top of that, they helped us research agents in our town to help sell our house. Highly recommend!

Austin Snyder, Seller in Yelm

Alan & Jana helped us sell our first home. Team Sherwood was hands down the best real estate agents we have worked with. They patiently answered all of our questions and guided us through the sales process to get our home ready for the market. We were very impressed with the photographer they hired and the handy man they linked us up with. We landed multiple competitive offers within the first weekend of placing our home on the market. They helped us understand our options, enabling us to select the most advantageous offer on our home.
Bottom line, I have no hesitation recommending team Sherwood for your real estate needs. I am confident they will meet or surpass your expectations.

Gregg Graham, Buyer in Tacoma

Alan & Jana did an exceptional job in helping me purchase my first home in an incredibly competitive market.
They promptly answered all of my MANY questions as a first-time homebuyer along the way, were very flexible with showings, offered tons of helpful advice, connected me with great financing, and ultimately got me into an awesome house while avoiding a bidding war arms race. Plus, they're just great people!
This duo is excellent at what they do, and I absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of professional real estate services.

David Calderon, Buyer in Yelm

The sherwoods are an amazing realtor team, they went above and beyond to help us find what we needed. They are hard workers and with lots of patience. Our friend recommended them and Definitely helped us find the home we wanted.

Marcus Thorpe, Buyer in Spanaway

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Alan & Jana Sherwood. They made my first home purchase (a harrowing experience for anyone) a breeze. I would recommend them to anyone, an I will not work with any other team for my future real estate needs.

Sarah Roberts, Buyer in Tacoma

Because of Alan and Jana, my husband and I succeeded in purchasing our new home in Tacoma! They were both very communicative, professional, and knowledgeable about how to make our offer stand out in this crazy market. Since they work as a team, Alan and Jana were exceptionally effective in showing us houses, communicating with listing agents, and sending in our offer as quickly as possible. They never made us feel like we were inconveniencing them with our million questions, but instead they helped make us feel confident and at ease throughout the whole process. They treated us like family, and we could tell that they truly cared about helping us find the perfect home. We know who we will be turning to if we ever decide to sell!

Greg Weatherford, Buyer and Seller in Olympia

Team Sherwood was an absolute dream to work with.
We were first time buyers after renting for 8 years, active duty military, and moving from South Carolina to Washington State. Alan and Jana demonstrated amazing patience and depth of knowledge answering every question and curve ball we threw at them, making this a fun and easy process. In this seller’s market, Team Sherwood worked miracles with us and got our first offer accepted on our dream home.
Words can’t describe how smooth Alan and Jana made this, and the extra miles they went to make buyers who were 3,000 miles away comfortable in a naturally uncomfortable process. Whether you are buying or selling, the best hands you can be in is with Team Sherwood. When it comes time for us to sell in a few years, they will definitely be our first call.
