For the past 30 years Jan has specialized in the sale of contemporary architect-designed houses. He believes that these homes are worth substantially more than their ordinary counterparts. Often, these houses are considered works of art and have a true collector value. These homes call for a special approach to marketing that goes far beyond the norm.
Jan is extremely grateful for the success he has had in marketing architectural houses.
He has sold architectural houses designed by a virtual Who's Who in the world of architecture, including F.Lloyd Wright Jr., John Lautner, Richard Neutra, Buff & Hensman, Craig Ellwood, Wallace Neff, Paul Williams, Quincy Jones, Charles Eames, Eero Saarinen, Ray Kappe, Marshall Lewis, Peter Choate, Edward Fickett, Gregory Ain, Gordon Kaufman, Brian Murphy, John Byers, Phillip Brown, Douglas Briedenback Gerard Colcord, Richard Dorman, David Kellen, John Kilbane, Stan Pollock, and Frederick Fisher to name a few.
He has had the rare honor of having sold one of the world-famous Case Study Houses (Case Study House # 9, the Entenza house-designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen), together with the Johnson house designed by Lloyd Wright, the Rainbow house designed by John Lautner, and the Sandler house by Buff and Hensman.
