About Me

With a background in sales, education, and writing I bring an unique blend of talents to my real estate business.  I love living in the Geneva Lake community - with more than 7 great lakes to enjoy, including Geneva Lake, Lauderdale Lakes, Twin Lakes Lake Beulah, and Whitewater Lake - it's easy to find some activity to be passionate about.  From my first year in real estate (I was honored with the Rookie of the Year award from among 500 new agents) to the present, my focus has been on successfully marketing properties for my sellers and on successfully discovering the right property fit for my buyers. I have lived in the Walworth County community for over 20 years and have lived on, around, and near Geneva Lake - so I'm knowledgeable about this wonderful area.  An active community volunteer, I founded the Teddy Bear Foundation at Aurora Lakeland Medical Center which gives stuffed animals to patients in need of comfort and have served on the ALMC Benefit Ball Committee as well as on the Lakefront Festival of Trees committee (founding member).  I am a 15 year member of the Geneva Lake Women's Association, a community service organization, and have served as President (2 terms), Internal Director (2 terms), as well as having served on numerous committees.  I'm a graduate of Marquette University and the University of Chicago.  My pursuit of excellence extends to my real estate business, my philanthropic interests and my life in general.

Areas of Expertise

Keeping informed and educated is of primary importance to me.  Thus, I hold the A.B.R. (Accredited Buyer Representative) designation, and am a C.R.S. (Certifed Residentail Specialist) designee; I am also actively pursuing my Graduate Realtor Institute designation. 

While I specialize in New Construction, Golf Community properties, and Lakefront Properties throughout Walworth, Kenosha, Racine and Jefferson counties, I am privileged to have assisted buyers and sellers in virtually every kind of real estate transaction.  From 1031 Exchanges to first time home buyers - I have experience!

Testimonials

"Janis did an exceptional job for us by showing, selling and closing on our condo in surprisingly short time.  And because we were out of town for most of this time, she went out of her way to take care of a number of details that are not usually handled by a realtor.  After the closing, which was also transacted by long distance, she even deposited our check in our account at a local bank.  We would highly recommend Janis to anyone looking to sell a property..."

"Janis did a great job as usual!" She is very good at staying on top of the issues and bringing them to resolution."

"Did a great job...keeping me informed of developments.  Will definitely use your services when we get ready to sell the Delavan house!"

"We had the best of both experiences with Janis - buying and selling! She was professional yet warm and caring.  We always felt she had our best interests at heart and because of that, we felt we got outstanding support and service from Janis. We would do it all again, but only if we have Janis on our team!"

"Thank you so much for finding our new home for us. We love it! While buying a house is always stressful, having you as our agent made the process that bit easier and we really appreciate all your help and advice."
