More About Janet

Having navigated four state-to-state relocations with her own family, Janet brings first-hand understanding of both the logistics and emotions involved in buying and selling a home. Those experiences shaped her approach to real estate and led her to specialize in relocation support — particularly for military families — throughout Carlsbad and North County San Diego.

With more than 15 years of experience, clients consistently describe Janet as a calm guide who clearly explains each step and advocates fiercely for their best interests. Her people-centered approach is reflected in hundreds of five-star reviews.

Whether she’s coordinating repairs, staging homes, coaching first-time buyers through escrow, or staying involved after closing, Janet shows up when it matters. She is trusted for her judgment, valued for her patience, and relied on for the kind of hands-on support that helps clients feel protected, informed, and cared for.
