As a buyer and seller of multiple properties herself, Janet is well-versed in the complexities of the real estate market.Janet is proud of her family, which includes her husband of 28 years and three grown sons. In her spare time, she enjoys running, biking, and kayaking, and is also a keen writer. Her story of triumph is truly humbling, and Janet brings this graceful spirit everywhere she goes.
