"Janet and her team handled every step with care and professionalism. She was on top of every detail and made it possible for us to deal with everything from out of state. Working with us to control costs and strategize with us to find the appropriate listing price, we realized a quick sale with a perfect buyer for well over the list price."

★★★★★
"My husband and I were very lucky to find Janet. She is fantastic as a realtor, as a person and now even as a friend. Janet helped us find a house in a week, and the process was flawless. We are now going to list our house with her, and I know the outcome will be perfect."

★★★★★
"I call Janet my #1 Realtor. She is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and tenacious at getting her clients results! I know because I've seen her fight for me on 4 separate real estate transactions. From the initial search process to ink on the contract she handles it all and with the utmost detail and professionalism. I can't imagine buying or selling real estate without my #1." - Justin

★★★★★
"Janet is absolutely outstanding, she works tirelessly to help her clients and support them. My experience working with her has been nothing but positive and on top of it, she brings a tremendous amount of value through her intimate knowledge of the process and local area. Many people can work hard and even do a good job, what separates Janet from the rest of the professionals is that she will go way above and beyond addressing all the little things that make such a big difference at the end of the day. The difference between good and great is pretty substantial, Janet exceeds what I would consider a great experience (and I have very high expectations). Would not work with anyone else, period."

★★★★★
"Janet is light years above and beyond a great agent. After interviewing numerous candidates I selected Janet due to her honesty, candor, friendliness, professionalism and local knowledge. She was direct with her suggestions of upgrades that would increase the asking amount and shorten the sales cycle – but she was never pushy. She followed up on her ideas by coordinating fabulous contractors that were both inexpensive and thorough. She was in contact with me daily - and frequently at the house checking up on the progress. In the end my house sold for over asking price in the first week it was listed. Janet made what could have been an overwhelming process a streamlined one and treated the house as if it were her own. If you want the best – you will find that agent in Janet."

About Janet

Janet was born and raised on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. She grew up riding horses, amidst a menagerie of chickens, ducks, geese, goats, rabbits, and one black Angus bull. Her father was a custom home builder and she was often on his construction sites, seeing their progress from start to finish, to "sold". Her first ‘sale' occurred when she was 16 years old, showing her dad's custom home on a rainy Christmas eve. A couple stopped in and, after touring the house with her, requested to meet with her parents to make an offer. She was thrilled, and her real estate career was born! Janet has always been drawn to all types of real estate. She worked for nearly ten years on the former Marineland property (now the site of the renowned Terranea resort), interfacing with the location managers of major movie productions which were filmed on the property.

Janet and her husband own industrial properties which she leases and manages. She always has an eye out for investment property because she says "I am a firm believer in California real estate and the stability of its future". She loves the South Bay and loves, even more, the satisfaction of helping people find the perfect home. She has three children who are now grown, so she can devote herself to her business, providing over-the-top service to her clients, which is evidenced by her constant stream of referral business. Says Janet "90% of all my clients have either referred me or used me on subsequent transactions!" Janet goes way beyond what normal Realtors® provides.
