For Jane O'Donnell, real estate has always been about people first. Every home has a story, every move begins with a life transition, and every client deserves an advisor who listens as carefully as they negotiate. With more than 14 years of distinguished real estate experience and a master's degree in guidance counseling, Jane brings a rare combination of market expertise and genuine insight into what matters most to the people she serves.
Her career began in Boston's iconic neighborhoods—including Beacon Hill, Back Bay, and the South End—where she earned recognition as the #1 sales agent in her office for four consecutive years, was named New England Rookie of the Year, and later served as President of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board. A graduate of Mount Holyoke College with a degree in International Relations, along with graduate degrees from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Jane's early career as an educator and school counselor continues to shape her thoughtful, consultative approach.
After more than a decade in Great Barrington, Jane has become deeply connected to the rhythm of life in the Berkshires. She appreciates that people come here not simply to purchase a home, but to find a sense of place—where mountain trails, historic villages, world-class arts, and quiet mornings become part of everyday life. Whether hiking, skiing, gardening, or enjoying an evening at Tanglewood or one of the region's renowned theaters, she understands the lifestyle that makes the Berkshires unlike anywhere else.
Jane is also deeply committed to giving back. She serves on the Board of Directors of Spirit Cove, a nonprofit providing trauma-informed, animal-assisted support services. Her work there reflects the same values that define her real estate practice: empathy, integrity, curiosity, and unwavering dedication to helping others move forward with confidence.
