  Recent Testimonials

    

Janet was great! We flew up in a snowstorm and she took us to see 19 houses in 3 days and helped us through every step in purchasing the one we chose, even meeting contractors on our behalf, since we were doing all this from out of state. She really did everything to make the sale as smooth as possible.

~LisaKay M, 2022

 

We cannot say enough good things about Janet. We recently decided to go from 2 homes (IN and FL) to 1 and had zeroed in on Tennessee. We found a home on Realtor.com that looked like it fit our needs and Janet just happened to be the listing agent. She quickly responded to our inquiry and we set up an appointment to see that house and others in the Knoxville area. We had planned to spend 2 days with her, and those 2 days let us fell in love with Knoxville - we cancelled the rest of our trip across the state. Once we found "the house," which happened to be under construction, Janet stayed involved throughout the process, always quickly responding to our questions and working with the builder to monitor final construction as well as any issues that arose (we were 700 miles away and Janet became our eyes and ears on the project). Our new home had an unfinished basement - and we needed to finish that space to meet our needs. Her reputation allowed us to connect with a contractor before we signed on the dotted line - literally in a matter of hours. Little did we know that we had decided to work with such a professional. We highly recommend Janet to anyone looking to buy a house in the Knoxville area.

~Barb and Steve C, 2022

 

Janet was such a huge help to us. We were buying a house in Knoxville from another city, which in the market at this time was quite tricky. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND taking care of things for us since we could not be there in person for everything. And she treated us like we were million dollar buyers, though our price range was far from it. Her reputation in Knoxville is stellar! So many people in different areas of the housing industry whom I came across during the process had only the utmost respect for her when I would mention her name to them. It was such a relief to hear them gush over how great she is. I would recommend her to anyone! We certainly plan to have Janet represent us again when it comes time to sell.
