We had unforseen delays in the sale of our former house, and were worried that our Seller would back out of the deal. Thanks to Janet's superb negotiation skills, can-do attitude, and problem-solving focus, she was able to guide our transaction to a successful close and we couldn't be happier in our new home. We would recommend Janet without reservation to friends and family looking to buy or sell on the North Shore!"
