Janna Rankin Scharf

TRUSTED. KNOWLEDGEABLE. SAVVY.

What do Clients Say?

When looking to sell my home I knew exactly what I was looking for in agent. I have been in the mortgage/real estate business for 16 years so am very knowledgeable of all the details and have extremely high expectations. Upon our first conversation, Janna provided straight forward information, confidence, bullets about her abilities, her processes, knowledge regarding up-to-date marketing skills, and a very real awareness of the current local market. I hired her shortly thereafter and we sold the home as planned with Janna meeting ALL my expectations... not easy to do when dealing with a demanding and impatient perfectionist like me. I will always refer Janna with confidence from this point on. Great job Janna and thanks again!

My husband and I worked with Janna and Rick Scharf to find a home in Coeur d'Alene. We were from outside the area and had no knowledge of the area. They graciously showed us the various options based on the criteria we gave them for our new home. Over 4-days we saw a lot of what the area had to offer, and it really helped us decide what was most important for us long-term. Once we made a decision, the process from making the offer to closing on the home was seamless. If you want to work with someone who knows Northern Idaho, is both professional and fun to work with, and is tireless in their pursuit to help you find your new home - they should be your top choice. And if you're worried they'll rush you, my sister and her husband also moved into the area and it took them 9 months to find their perfect new home. That's patience!

Janna was amazing. We were purchasing an investment property from out of state, and she was our local eyes and ears. She was accessible at all times, and encouraged us through some setbacks and major delays due to the appraisal process. She was on top of everything the whole time and gave us wise advice whenever decisions needed to be made. Her husband, Rick, drove around with us all day looking at remote properties to help us find a good fit. Highly recommended!

This is the second time I've had the pleasure to work with Janna. She sold a previous (hard to sell) home of mine. Now she has listed my current home and will be helping me afterwards find our future home. She works extremely hard, I highly recommend working with Janna!

We have a lot of acquaintances in real estate, and Janna is truly an experienced stand out professional. She is also one of the finest individuals we've come to know.
