If you are looking to sell or buy a home or property in the Penn Valley area. you could not be in better hands than Jan Wilson's. I went through a very challenging situation with selling a parcel of land. Jan's negotiating skills were superb; he not only got my ask, he expertly counseled me through the 'escrow from hell'. The buyer went through three loan companies and two escrow companies, requiring revisions and extensions—but in the end, Jan both saved and closed the deal. He didn't go the extra mile, he went the extra 20 miles time and again to make things happen that seemed impossible. Jan is a true miracle worker.
“Want to have a great real estate experience? Then all you need to do is sign with Jan Wilson. It will be the best move you ever made.

My wife and I recently purchased a home in Grass Valley. Jan was our Real Estate agent. I can't tell you what a positive experience it was working with Jan. He is patient, thoughtful and thorough. My wife and I felt very comfortable relying on Jan's expertise while we waited to find the perfect home. Jan found the right home for us and had very good input into the pluses and minuses of each home we looked at. I would recommend Jan Wilson to anyone looking for their ideal home Paradise. Thanks Jan!

Jan is a real all-star of a real estate agent. We were living in Southern California, but relocating to Grass Valley and hoping to purchase a home right away. We had a short window of time and had only one full day to look at homes before I started my new job. So we had a marathon day with Jan and looked at 16 homes in one day! He kept a great attitude, pointed out features unique to the area (steep driveways, condition of wood decks, etc), and paid close attention to the type of home we were looking for. His experience in real estate showed through and he was able to get us a great home for under listing price, even though the market was hot. He walked us through the process and made sure all deadlines and inspections were completed on time, even while he was juggling multiple clients. I would recommend Jan to anyone looking to buy or sell!

We first met Jan Wilson, and later his wife Carolyn, when we were looking for a piece of property to purchase. Our experience with them is the best we have had so far with any realtor.
“Jan is a kind, honest, understanding, and relatable person. We could not help, but fall in love with him from the first day we met him.
“These qualities show in his work as a realtor. He is not pushy, he is objective, always available, and great at explaining the intricacies of the complicated purchasing process. He is very organized, methodical, and detail oriented. He made the whole process easy and smooth for us.
“We had a very positive experience with Jan and will not hesitate to let him be our realtor again. We highly recommend him to everyone. If you need an honest and hard working realtor who will devote his energy and time to working for you, Jan is your man.

Jan Wilson at Network Realty has been a pleasure to work with during our move from out of state. Jan was able to accommodate our needs based on our tight schedule to locate and purchase a home and we were kept fully informed every step of the way which made the sale go vary smoothly. Jan was generous with his time, gave us good advice, and provided much needed support during the inspection process. We appreciate Jan's honesty, professionalism, preparedness, enthusiasm & patience.
Brian & Kristin
We want to thank you and to acknowledge your expertise regarding the recent sale of our property. We appreciate the attention to detail you provided us with regard to the sale of our particular piece of property; the timing of the sale; the fact that you explored the somewhat remote property in person; your suggestions as to potential options for the sale and future use of the property. We owned this property with another couple and we appreciate the timely clarification you gave us in executing the sale to our satisfaction.

Don & Karen McDaniel
Thank you so much for all of your excellent help with the selling of our property in Tehama. Being that there four sisters on the deed that all lived in different areas of California, it was challenging undertaking to get the updates, and documents to be signed by all four sisters and their Husbands! Everyone was grateful for your patience and clarity in explaining the documents and the processes - step by step as they came up. We all appreciate having you help us through this complex situation. You are the one we will call when we have more Real Estate to buy or sell.
Carol Laurie Dickson for the Laurie Family
Jamie Barber and Jan Wilson from Network Real Estate helped us successfully purchase our home in Oregon House. Both Jamie and Jan were patient, very flexible, and super quick to respond to our questions. They gave us great advice as far as a lot with the ensuing counter offers. Our situation was unique because we completed the entire transaction while living in another state. We really relied on them to look out for our best interests and they most certainly did. They helped us find a fantastic company for our lending needs and were able to recommend quality companies for all of the home and property inspections. Overall Jamie and Jan, as well as there team at Network Real Estate, provided us with service that was above and beyond what one would expect from a real estate company. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
C & C Collier
We recently successfully sold our home in Colfax, CA., with the help of Jan Wilson. When we decided to place our home on the market, we interviewed four Real Estate Agents. We requested a comparative market value estimate from each one, to determine the fair price we should ask and to find the Agent that would do the most for us. We also asked friends for recommendations. We can enthusiastically tell you that we made the right choice! There were very few homes in our area to do a comparative with. Unlike the other three, Jan suggested we get a home appraisal and provided us with the contract information for an appraiser in our area. We followed Jan's advice so that we knew what a fair market price for both us and the buyer would be. Then we listed with Jan. Even though it took nearly nine months to get an acceptable offer and an unprecedented 101 days to close escrow, we never once regretted that we had Jan Wilson in our court. We want to note that the length of escrow was on the buyer's side and not because of seller issues. Jan kept us informed every step of the way. He called us after every viewing to tell us what the prospective buyer, who just viewed our home, thought and how they responded. Once we were in escrow Jan called us regularly to let us know where we were in the process. Even when the buyer's Real Estate Agent didn't return phone messages, and when the Loan Company didn't return the Title company's phone messages, so Jan had no information to give us, he still called to tell us what he knew about our sale. Jan never left us hanging, and he never put us off or vaguely answered our questions. Jan took the time necessary to explain the process, what was supposed to happen next and why. It was Jan who made sure details were covered, extensions were drawn up and signed by both parties, and we had a number of extensions through those 101 days. It was Jan that made sure every piece of paperwork needed was completed and signed. His attention to detail, his diligence to communication, and his hard and consistent work helped us to successfully complete the sale. Jan's regular and consistent communication with us and his willingness to take the time to explain the process, made us feel comfortable and made the sale of our home far less stressful than it might have been had we chosen someone else to list with. We were able to put our trust in his knowledge of the Real Estate Industry and never once wondered if he was taking care of us. We hold Jan and his ethics in the highest regard. We would, without the slightest hesitation, recommend Jan Wilson as the Best Real Estate Agent to list with.
David & Linda Reed
Thanks again for selling our Eldore Road land. It was quite a process—starting from choosing deed in-lieu of foreclosure over the more expensive and time-consuming foreclosure. This was all new to me and you taught me a lot. Since that buyer couldn't make the balloon payment thanks for having him pay the deed-in-lieu costs. And then the offers started coming in. Your explanations were clear and you didn't mind repeating them so that I could choose. And then the counter offers! I appreciate how promptly and often you had to call me regarding all this. You really kept the process moving and informed me at each step. Dealing with the land as part of the family trust added another element of complication but you worked that out as well. Speaking of trust—I knew that we could trust you and that certainly was the case. My brother even heard from someone up there that you were trustworthy, reliable and honest. We really did rely on you and we were not disappointed. Our goal was to recover the amount my mom was owed in that balloon payment and we exceeded the goal despite the property having been ravaged by fire. Thanks again for taking us through this complex process.

When we came to Nevada County to visit friends, my husband and I weren't even thinking about moving. So when we decided to "look around" we didn't have a clear idea about what we were looking for. Additionally, we weren't familiar with the area. Luckily for us, our friends recommended Jan Wilson. Jan is so familiar with the entire area that he was able to help us narrow our search. He introduced us to a variety of areas and tirelessly showed us houses, helping us clarify our wants and needs. He was endlessly patient and professional, answering all our questions, and some questions that we didn't know enough to ask! When we finally found our dream house, a short sale, he carefully walked us through the process. During the long period of waiting for the short sale to be accepted, Jan kept in touch, letting us know as each small step occurred. Purchasing a new home can be a stressful and frustrating process, but not with Jan! We always felt that he was there for us, watching out for our best interests. I will refer anyone looking for property up here to Jan.
Bill & Nancy Petty
Jan Wilson, Network Real Estate, represented me in the purchase of my condo. I had purchased a home only once prior, in 1995…so I was somewhat nervous at the aspect of making this life altering decision.
“The condo transaction was a short-sale, and as anyone currently going through a home purchase can attest…the procedures and paperwork have changed significantly over the past years. Even knowing that the process would be long and arduous, I still found myself surprised by some of the twists and turns. But Jan was there answering all my questions and allaying all my fears along the way.
“I can't imagine anyone more patient, knowledgeable or willing to go the extra mile than Jan. His advice and guidance was so thorough it made my part easy. When an obstacle came up, Jan proposed a solution which saved me money.
“Any home buyer would be in good hands with Jan on their side.
“Jan and his wife, Carolyn, are warm, down to earth people, patient and caring. I feel strongly that anyone making use of their services will be equally pleased as I am.

We had the privilege of working with Jan Wilson this past year. We were so impressed by how professional and knowledgeable he was. He showed us numerous homes. He was so accommodating, punctual, persistent, cheerful, patient and really listened to what we were looking for. He even helped us through the process of prioritizing what was most important. Whenever we had questions he got back to us right away. He was quick to point out what was good about a house and what might be a problem. Jan found us our dream home and with his persistence and hard work was able to make it possible for us to get it. We are so grateful to him and will recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding REALTOR®.

I was recently able to buy my first home and Jan Wilson came highly recommended from multiple friends that have bought homes with Jan's assistance. He made it a very easy experience. He is exceedingly knowledgeable about the area and wants you to find the right home for you. He was always very prompt for appointments, returned phone calls and talked us through everything. Being a first time buyer, we had many questions and he answered them all and even the ones we didn't know we should ask. We are so happy with the home that we bought and are having fun making it our own! Even the dogs are happy! We won't be looking for a new home for some time, but whenever we are, we will definitely ask Jan to help us again. I would, and have, recommended him to anyone that is looking to find a home in our beautiful area.

Real Estate Service at its BEST! We worked with Jan Wilson for 2.5 years looking for the property that was right for us. That extended period of time included some blunders and fickleness on our part, which should have made any agent frustrated and impatient with us… but not Jan! Our situation created the perfect scenario for Jan's true colors to shine through. Jan is extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, thorough, dependable, and very patient. He won't push into anything until you're 'comfortable,' as he says. But when you are comfortable, he will jump through any hoop to get you the house you want. We would highly recommend Jan Wilson as a real estate agent to anyone… In fact, we already have! We've given friends and family his name, and those who've used him have the same story as we do about their experience working with Jan. Thanks, Jan for finding and getting us the house of our dreams!

Just a quick note to thank you for all of the hard work you did to make our purchase of the house in Lake Wildwood a successful and worry free event. Belinda and I knew from the first time you showed us the first house that our referral to you by our friend Sandy was going to be serendipitous. Your knowledge of the properties, the neighborhoods and the surrounding areas really added a tremendous amount of value to the home buying experience. We also appreciated the fact that you took our dreams and desires and concepted (it seemed like such a good word I decided to keep it) them into the houses that you showed us making our decision on to finally land on the perfect house a lot simpler and more pleasurable. We also want you to know that your warm, personal and humorous touch made it a lot easier to go through what sometimes can be a draining exercise. In short both Belinda and I want to express our appreciation for the whole 'Jan Wilson Experience' from the inspirational and funny gifts to our beautiful home (which we really love). Be assured that whenever we get the chance, Jan Wilson will be the REALTOR® we recommend.

Thanks, Jan, for assisting my husband and me in selling our bare land in Penn Valley this September, 2015. You gave us a great deal of assistance in researching land sales over the last year and in establishing a fair and competitive selling price. Since we had an offer within a week of having the land listed, it's obvious that the pricing was right. We closed the deal in what felt like record time. Your consistent diligence in tracking down all the paperwork, needed details, and constant communication between all the parties was most impressive. Your work ethic, knowledge, skill and energy all combined to make this a very positive experience for us. We appreciate working with someone who brings this much skill and ethical attitude to their work. Thank you!
Beth & Bob
I have been a residential real estate investor for 20+ years. Several months ago a close family member referred me to Jan Wilson. Jan came highly recommended and he exceeded my expectations. Although I was a fairly demanding client and took up quite a bit of Jan's time, I never once felt pressure from him to close a deal that was not in my interest. Jan was extremely scrupulous about making sure I understood the potential downsides to each of the properties we looked at. He also helped me to see the positives. He knew the issues that lurked behind purchasing an old home. With his assistance I was able to go in with my eyes wide open. If I buy in Nevada County again, I will certainly have no hesitation about using Jan again. Nor will I hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. Thank you, Jan!
