Her active business leaves her with intimate knowledge of the market and how to position and price to get a deal done. Janet was a delight to deal with for both us and prospects. She finds a way to always be positive and calm, even while being objective and critical of evolving facts. Finally, Janet is a relentless professional.

"We recently had the opportunity to work with Janet Karabas when we sold our real estate in Winnetka. Before selecting Janet, we interviewed her and we were incredibly impressed with her knowledge of the real estate sales process, her knowledge of the Winnetka real estate market, and her sales track record. During the sales process, Janet advised us on the right sales price, helped us prepare the property, created an outstanding marketing document, held numerous open houses, and then helped us negotiate a very good sales contract. Janet's leadership helped sell the property very quickly. We felt very comfortable knowing that Janet was representing us with potential buyers. Overall, we could not have been more impressed with Janet and the value she provided. Many thanks Janet!!!" - E. Carey

"Janet has successfully sold our houses, three times now. I keep going back to her for help as I can confidently rely on her to treat it as her own. She's knowledgeable, professional, kind, and always goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her!" - H. Hong

"I listed my contemporary residence with Janet. The house was unique because it was designed by my dad, a well known Chicago architect, and occupied continuously by my family since 1969. I live out of state and Janet was of immense help in preparing the house for showing by arranging for cleaning and maintenance services. All of this was above and beyond what I could have expected of any other agent. Janet enlisted an architectural writer to publish a piece on the house in Chicago Business that produced 3 immediate offers, and we sold for more than asking. The end result was truly outstanding and I highly recommend her." - S. Fujikawa

Deeply rooted in the North Shore community, Janet and her husband raised their three children in Winnetka, where they experienced all the area has to offer—from neighborhood walks and vibrant in-town dining to the exceptional park district programs and highly regarded New Trier school district.
