Team Biographies

Jane Hayes Jane Hayes has been working in the Real Estate Industry since 1985, and throughout her career she has carried the philosophy of "Service at its Best"! It's not just a slogan for Jane, and her clients and customers testify to that.

Jane has achieved many educational and career achievements.

With her previous firm, she earned the RE/MAX International Hall of Fame award (one of its highest awards). Jane continues to serve as a long-standing member of the Professional Standards Committee of the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors.

Jane began the year (2002) by opening Jane Hayes Signature Realtors now Signature One Properties, along with her family. Jane's daughter, Kim Ricca, partners with Jane in the business. Kim's husband, Brad, also has his license, and offers excellent computer technology skills. Jane's husband, Steve Underwood, is a Clinical Pharmacist at Jewish Hospital, but he, too, has his license, and pitches in when away from the hospital. It has truly become a "Family Affair" with Jane, and so you can believe it when she advertises, "Our Family Helping Your Family Move".
