Janice Vidovic Realtor – Keller Williams

Buyers BEWARE! I would not recommend attempting to purchase a home from Janice. She strung us along for several weeks and misled us into believing that we were good to go with purchasing the home of our dreams!
When we expressed interest in the home she told us that another offer at list price had been accepted by the sellers, but the financing would not go through and we could put in a back up offer. We submitted a back up offer on the day she had an open house. She now had two offers for this property and continued to move forward with her open house.
She then communicated that the sellers had ACCEPTED AND SIGNED our offer and that all we needed to do was wait for the initial offer to be terminated. We asked her to take the house off the market since the sellers had accepted our offer. She did not.
She told us to be patient and that she felt confident that we would «have a deal on a spectacular home» She also advised us to not look at other houses.
So, we waited until the termination went through. At this point she communicated to us that she had received yet ANOTHER offer on the home and that we were to submit our best and final offer by Friday and that she was meeting with sellers on Saturday morning to sign the agreement. So, we submitted another offer at $ 2501 over the list price.
On Saturday morning I drove past the house and it had a SOLD sign out in front. There was no communication whatsoever that we had been outbid.
From doing a little research and asking others about this, it seems that the accepted offer was just $ 99 more than our offer! Hmm… It was also mentioned that another reason was because the other buyers had more money to put down? This makes no sense!
She didn’t even give us a fair chance to negotiate!
I feel that the whole experience working with her was AWFUL added unnecessary stress. In her last email she told us that we «almost had the keys in our hands» and that we will love this home. She really led us to believe that the home was ours!
I think that she is extremely UNPROFESSIONAL and DECEITFUL! Sure, she did what she could for her sellers, but as a buyer she made the entire process HORRIBLE and it wasn’t even worth the hassle as we were not able to purchase the home that we so much wanted!
Integrity and honesty are what I look for in people and businesses in the sales industry. Janice simply does not have either!

I highly recommend Janice Vidovic to anyone who is interested in buying or renting a property in Urbana-​Champaign Area. Janice is a hardworking, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable realtor so far I knew.
My husband and I were planning to buy our first rental property. Janice tirelessly showed us several dozens of houses, while patiently educating us on the prospects of being a landlord. We are so fortunate that she generously shared her twenty years of experience as owning and managing rental properties. After we found a house we liked the best, she paid attention on analyzing and determining the appropriate asking price, and guided us tactically through the negotiation. Through the long journey from initial contract, to home inspection, to post inspection amendment, and until the closing, on every step of the way, Janice gently informed and guided us, providing needed information and contacts.
I would surely use Janice again for our future rental property purchase.

We bought a second home this fall with Janice Vidovic’s expert assistance and couldn’t be happier. Janice’s attention to detail, professionalism, negotiation skills, and area knowledge made the entire process easy. We’ll be clients of hers for life!
