About Jean Cameron

"This was my 4th agent in 5years. I tried selling with other reputable Real Estate agencies during a bad market. I was at my wits end when I met Jean. A friend recommended her and I was impressed with how quickly she responded with her Sales package. I was interviewing other agents meanwhile, they all kept rescheduling for one reason or another. She's the only one who heard my urgency. I worked with her in getting my house in shape and she started showing ASAP!. Without a sign located in front of my lawn btw, she sold my home in 2 1/2 months! She sold the History, the atmosphere, the spirit of Ossining and the Hudson Valley. She sold the Fragrance surrounding my home, my neighbors and community! And of course she sold a great house. It was a great experience even with all the hiccups! I recommend you get your house inspected before selling! Jean was a trooper through all of the inspections even tempered, while my feathers were ruffled! She stood strong and had my back! Love Jean and would recommend her in a heart beat!"

"Jean represented us in the sale of our home. From her outstanding presentation, her research and commitment throughout the process, Jean exceeded my expectations. She is professional and did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Jean."
Jim Dumont (Croton on Hudson)

"Jean is very approachable and was easy to work with. She has detailed knowledge of the Westchester area which really helped us narrow down what towns we wanted to look at. Jean listened to what our priorities were and didn't waste our time in taking us to properties that didn't meet what we were looking for or that were outside of our price range. I would highly recommend Jean as an realtor you can trust"
Krysty Krywko (Chappaqua)

"I feel very lucky to have met Jean at an open house in Croton on Hudson. She became our agent as we looked for our first house and I can't imagine what it would have been like without her. She was very knowledgeable, prompt and patient throughout the whole process. From spending time with our four year old while we examined many houses to dealing with any issues that came up with the sellers, she was great! And now we are very happy in our new home and she still helps us with referrals for plumbers or whatever else we need. I also want to mention that no matter when we emailed or called her, Jean was always available to us. That kind of service is tough to come by these days and was very appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Jean"
Ann-Marie Beals (Croton on Hudson)

"Jean went above and beyond her role as our Realtor. We truly felt like partners. She was always available at a moment's notice. Phone calls were always answered or returned quickly. Feedback was given on every client and Jean would always find time to be present at each showing.

We were amazed at the scope of her involvement in selling our home. Jean was a skilled negotiator who handled potential buyers with a calm and business-like manner which directed information back and forth without conflict. We never felt pressured by her at any point during negotiations. We always felt secure that Jean was looking our for our best interest during the negotiation process.

Jean had an extraordinary ability to communicate with potential buyers and their agents with a calm, professionalism which avoided conflict and kept the negotiating focused. Her manner is one of quiet dignity and class, never harsh or rude..

Jean presented our home in the best possible way. She was responsible for the incredible photographs which were used to market our home. Jean wrote the listing, created the brochure distributed by her firm, in the most professional way. She is truly a gifted photographer and writer. I believe her marketing skills sold our home for a price above what we expected during a depressed housing market.

Last, but not least, Jean helped us through this difficult process of selling our home of 38 years, a very emotional time for our family, yet Jean remained a steady and calming presence through it all.

Jean is truly a remarkably skilled businesswoman who is also very personable and caring."
Jane Shapiro (Pleasantville)

"I had engaged Jean to broker the sale of property I co-owned in Chappaqua, NY. She was very knowledgeable about the local market and worked tirelessly in difficult conditions to finally secure the sale. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking real-estate services in the area."
Victor Von Klemperer (Chappaqua)

"My wife, Kara and I want to wholeheartedly recommend and endorse Jean Cameron-Smith as a truly extraordinary buyer?s agent. Over a two-year period during which we looked at many, many homes, she was tireless, always available, and highly professional. Jean really went the extra mile for us on too many issues to cover here. We will absolutely work with her again."
Barry White (Croton on Hudson)

I have hired Jean Cameron Smith on numerous occasions for rental properties and on a one-time basis for a house sale. She has always gotten me excellent tenants, even in very tight markets. Similarly, Jean's unique skill set led to an offer on our home despite a highly unusual set-up. Her determination, "out-of-the-box" thinking, willingness to go the extra mile and keen marketing sense put her in a special category. All in all, working with Jean is a rewarding experience, both financially and also personally
Joanne Landau (Croton on Hudson)

"Jean was our realtor for one house sale and one house purchase. We have only good things to say about her, since she embodies all that we value in a realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable, is very patient (she took us to one house nearly ten times, letting us figure out for ourselves that this house would not work for us in the end), and is never pushy. Her particular talent is in bringing buyers and sellers together. Rather than bringing an adversarial tone to a real estate deal, she makes all parties feel good about the process. We have worked with many realtors, and can unequivocally say that Jean is superb."
Meg Lamm (Croton on Hudson)

"My husband and I have worked with Jean on two separate occasions to find us homes in Westchester County as a buyer's agent. After tirelessly helping us find us our first home, she was the only person we trusted to help us when we were looking to move 2 years ago. Not only is she professional and knowledgable, she has incredible taste and the ability to present varying options to her clients; while always staying aligned with her clients' wishes. We could not be happier with the homes we've purchased with her help"
Candace Chestnut (Chappaqua)

"Jean Cameron-Smith is the consummate professional. Jean represented us in the sale of our house in Briarcliff Manor, NY. She showed that she was an exceptional agent from the beginning to the end of the experience. In a difficult market, she presented the reality with optimism and was always positive and constructive. She is also very diligent in following up on items and on working the details. Jean is kind and was a delightful partner in the process. She is easy going, smiling and helpful to all those that she met at our house.
I would highly recommend Jean. Please fell free to contact me if you would like to discuss further her qualifications and character."
Paul Jarrell (Pleasantville)

"Jean served as our agent in finding just the right house when we returned to the New York area after a long absence. Her knowledge of the area and network were instrumental in making this an efficient and overall successful engagement."
John Read (Briarcliff)
