Janet & Graham Ford - Tulsa Real Estate
Janet is a Broker Associate and Graham is a Sales Associate previously with Keller Williams and now with Tulsa's #1 Realtor company, McGraw Davisson Stewart.
They are both members of the Greater Tulsa Area Realtors, Oklahoma Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.
Their aim is to provide you with a top quality service, second to none. Through listening and really hearing what your needs and wants are, they will help you find that ideal home.
They will both act as your guide and support, to make sure that the real estate purchasing and selling process goes smoothly and that you fully understand what is happening at every stage.
They were top producers in the Keller Williams office, before migrating to McGraw and "Putting People First" is the standard that they live by. Janet who is a Broker Associate was also a member of the Associate Leadership Council at Keller Williams Realty, mentoring new associates and ensuring a professional service provision is available at all times.
Janet & Graham were both born and raised in the UK and relocated here seven years ago. Janet has been negotiating substantial commercial and residential real estate contracts for over 15 years. She was born right in the heart of England near Birmingham, which is known as the Second City after London. She was employed for most of her career with Her Majesty's Customs & Excise (HMCE) the oldest police service in the country, that preceded the Bow Street Runners. On moving to London she became the Facilities Manager for the multi billion $ HMCE headquarters complex on the banks of the River Thames. She is also a trained Total Quality Manager (TQM) and Facilitator. This has greatly helped her in her previous corporate negotiations and her real estate negotiations in the US. Janet loves skiing and watersports and has been visiting the US for over 20 years before moving here permanently. She never was a "cat lover." But Graham has introduced her to two lovely pussy cats, Tuppence & Sixpence (old English coinage terms before decimalization).
Their personal experience of relocating here from the UK gave us them both an enormous insight into the hopes and dreams of people seeking to buy and sell their dream home and new places to live. It has provided them with a sensitivity to people's needs and a desire to help them achieve their dreams. They have made wide range networking connections for all manner of professional trades relating to real estate and have extensive knowledge of the Tulsa real estate regional market and trends.
They both enjoy a challenge, won't waste time but will take time to listen, understand and respond to your needs. They pride their self upon their sincere, straightforward and principled approach. They both have a sense of humor, enthusiasm and great commitment to achieving results which they hope to share with you whilst building a trusting relationship.
As a Sales Associate Graham has been partnering with Janet within real estate since when they first joined Keller Williams Realty. He was previously the Director of the State Forensic Laboratory in northeast Oklahoma with the State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI). Prior to this, back in GB, he headed the National (CSI) Drug Unit at New Scotland Yard where he was employed for 28 years before relocating to the US. He has many interesting and varied stories of his times in criminal investigation in the capital, London. He was born within the "sound of Bow Bells, so is what is known as a "Cockney." He has a penchant for old films, especially "film noir," and was previously a member of the British Film Institute for many years. In the past he renovated an 1884 Victorian entrance lodge to a grand old farming estate. The date was on the cast iron gargoyles of the gutter down spouts!!
In 2005 Graham received a request from the military to go to Iraq and establish some forensic facilities whereby the examination of the Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's) and suicide vests etc, could be undertaken in the war zone. This would minimize any loss of evidence caused by shipping the devices back stateside for later forensic analysis. He shipped out five days later for an 18 month tour. He travelled through Iraq by chopper and convoy and established the facilities. He was also med-evac'd to Germany part way through the tour and returned to Iraq after hospital release.
He has a MSc, is a Certified New Homes Sales Professional (CSP) and is also e-PRO Certified. The e-PRO Internet Professional belongs to a special community of highly skilled and continuously trained real estate professionals.
They have found that working together as a team has been of a great benefit to their clients, providing a total commitment to their customers requirements. Having no family here, they have made a substitute family from all past clients, who are now indeed firm friends.
People do business with people they trust, we both look forward to meeting you and working with you - together in partnership.

The Gold Standard In Tulsa Real Estate
My house had been on the market for 6 months and expired.
I met Janet & Graham and felt that I had found friends who would help me. I listed my house and it sold in 16 days.
I found Janet to be at all times professional. Janet always answered my questions, returned my calls in a very timely manner and all in all kept me grounded and calm in what can be a very emotional experience. Barbara Franklin - Buyer & Seller
I had talked with two other Realtors before Janet and the reason I decided to work with her and Grahamis that they are very professional, understanding, personable and patient individuals. Their work ethics are exemplary and they treat their customers with utmost respect. They did extensive research and provided feedback on everything I had asked for. I am very appreciative of her for that. Noomair Zuberi - Buyer
With the stress of an unexpected move to Tulsa, it was a joy to meet Janet & Graham. They listened to our needs and was very diligent in finding the perfect home for our family. Once our home was found, Janet made the whole "buying process" an enjoyable experience. As a retired military family we have had more than our share of moving, buying, and selling. What a joy for us to have dealt with Janet, who helped make our journey into the next phase of our lives a smooth and memorable one. Gab & Don McCarthy - Buyer
How could they improve? Improve on what? They are already there!!! From the moment I met Janet & Graham I could see their professionalism, their industry knowledge and character were all impeccable. Selling our house was painless. We knew every step of the way what to expect. There were no surprises. Any challenge that surfaced was promptly explained and acted upon by Janet. I wish I could use her in my house hunting in Tuscon. Susan Patterson - Seller
