Janet has been our neighbor in Sleepy Lagoon on Longboat Key for 15 years. We finally decided it was time to sell our home and based on our long-term relationship, chose Janet as our Sleepy Lagoon - Longboat Key listing agent. We didn’t realize how much was involved in listing, staging, and marketing our home, but Janet made the selling process easy and had our Longboat Key waterfront property sold, for a great price, within a week! Janet also helped us to purchase our new home and coordinated all of the details of coordinating both contracts – almost simultaneously. Janet acted quickly on a property that came back on the market after another deal fell through and treated us as if we were her only clients. She expertly negotiated the best price, leaving us room to make improvements and move within our time frame. We would definitely recommend Janet to both sellers& buyers!
