![]() ![]() ![]() |
Janette Schafer has been a real estate broker for 17 years owning her own brokerage in South Florida. She was bought out by a large Miami based brokerage because of her luxury sales volume and her ability to maintain such a presence in the South Florida area. She then moved to Sarasota to continue in the luxury sales market in Longboat, Lido and Siesta Key where she loves the beaches and the laid back feeling. She understands the caliber of professional service and personal attention it takes to satisfy her real estate clients. Rest assured that this highly experienced, attentive agent will always be available to answer your questions, manage solutions to the challenges that may arise, provide guidance in your best interests, and support your transaction with a comprehensive selection of tools, resources and support staff. She has a calm, laid back attentive personality that is energetic and fun at the same time

There is no one word that can describe Janette fully - when you are lucky enough to have her as your realtor you are in for a ride of your life! We had by far one of the best experiences having her represent us. It was not an easy transaction but Janette knew exactly how to approach it. She will take care of everything for you but you have to trust that Janette knows what she is doing. Saying that Janette is professional is not enough, most realtors are professional. What makes Janette so effective is that she has ability to tune in to the person she is working with, regardless if it's a seller or buyer, and this takes Janette's service to the next level. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Janette as realtor for anyone interested in selling or buying a home. She is professional, personable and puts her clients and their needs first. I know she has several years of experience and it shows, keeping the lines of communication open between her and her clients making sure the sale goes well to everyone’s satisfaction.This was my first time selling a home and Janette knew all the right things to do when I didn’t. She was a blessing when I needed it most.

Janette has been a trusted advisor going above and beyond what you would expect from a Real Estate agent. She personally identified a potential property, physically met and worked with the builder on my behalf and negotiated the best deal around when the market was in very high demand. She spent countless personal time making sure the property was secured for me when demand for houses in FL extremely outstripped supply. I could call it luck being at the right place at the right time, but I can't because I resided out of state doing all of this remotely... it was Janette who made sure she was at the right place at the right time to secure a rare opportunity. I can't thank her enough, especially the follow through even for inspection and close. If you want personal, hands-on, always available agents, Janette is your agent. 10+ stars!

Janette was the consummate professional. In the time between our first look at Sarasota and until our purchase of a spectacular home earlier this month, she kept us appraised of homes in our preferred area, and opportunities she knew would meet our needs. As we conducted this search from out of state with just three short visits to Sarasota, she was our eyes and ears on the ground and when it was time to purchase. She guided us through the process expertly and following up with all parties to keep the process moving forward. Her friendly demeanor put us at ease, but her confidence and competence won us over. Even after closing, her assistance with the transition has been unparalleled. Janette is simply the best! Highly recommend her to find YOUR next home.

Janette was AMAZING from beginning to end on selling our property. She and Johnny went all out and beyond to promote, work and sell our property. They had all the knowledge, tools and tips to make the process painless. Thank you so much for helping us make our dreams come true!

Janette & John were both amazing to work with and we would highly recommend! They were so quick & efficient with sending us listings within hours after we met, they understood our timeline and urgency and were so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable! They have lots of connections, which helped us to be able to walk through lots of properties very quickly, some of which we never would've been able to find on our own. Once we found our home, towards the end of the closing process, we had a small issue with our lender and a document that was holding up everything for a lot longer than anticipated. Janette & John were able to reach out to other contacts they had, get lots of information & evidence to back their knowledge and ultimately be the ones to move the process forward quickly, which allowed us to close! Amazing experience from start to finish, thank you guys!
