Testimonials

"Working with Janis to sell my home was an absolute pleasure. With her many years of experience in New Canaan, she brought deep local knowledge and a steady confidence to every step of the process. Janis is not only professional and highly skilled, but also wonderfully good-natured-she made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. From styling and preparing my home to expertly showing it to potential buyers, she handled every detail with care and great taste. Her advice was always spot-on, and her dedication truly made a difference. I couldn't have asked for a better agent or partner in the sale of my home."

Daniel & Stephanie R.

"Thanks so much for all your efforts and time in selling the house. I will be sure to recommend you to friends in the area who might be looking to sell or relocate. You are very good at your job, and we truly appreciate all you did."

Ryan

"Thank you for being such an incredible partner and counselor throughout this crazy process. You are the best! We appreciate your smarts, savvy, and everything you did on our behalf. Janis was a great help in getting all of our questions answered and made the purchase of our new home smooth and easy."

Claude & Laura C.

"Janis was such a wonderful person to work with throughout this process. She has the low-key style of a real pro. First, she found us a Covid retreat on 2 days' notice, then recommended a fantastic broker for a search outside of her territory, and when we came back to search in her area, she was always patient when we didn't know what we wanted or didn't respond to emails. But she listened carefully to what we said and so knew what we wanted. And then the right house came on the market, and she was there with spot-on advice about the market and pricing. Never pushy or impatient, always eager to help and share her knowledge. Very honest and realistic in her suggestions and assessment of various aspects of the property and purchase. We couldn't recommend her more! She's the best."
