Janice Hou

Janice Hou's philosophy is pure: do things simply and do them well. As the -founder of the team, she has been the architect of its expansion, implementing each successive vision with seeming effortlessness. Born and raised in Los Angeles to a Chinese American family that exposed her to the values of balance, mindfulness, and diligent effort, she has utilized those values to foster an organization that facilitates a seamless, stress-free experience for each of the team's clients. Janice understands that the creation of a beautiful, harmonious whole is the product of an integrated effort, an effort she seeks to harness for the good of Price + Hou's clients by anticipating their needs and addressing any worries they might have before they are even able to arise. For Janice, the key to success and life is in finding a sustainable approach, always opting for better over more. She finds constant inspiration in the vast array of cultures her team’s clients represent; it is her goal that they end each interaction with the feeling that they have not just had their needs met, but that they have been understood as people. This may be a high standard, but for Janice, that standard is what makes this a worthwhile venture. Indeed, the sense of weightless surprise that clients often feel at the end of a transaction, a sense of, "wow, which felt easy" can be attributed to the organizational culture Janice has created. To her, this statement is a sign of a job well done; she knows that true expertise feels no need to flaunt itself.
