Janet has worked in the real estate market since 1999, expanding her footprint from Georgia to South Carolina down to Florida. Prior to joining Premier Sotheby's International Realty, she began working at Celia Dunn Sotheby's International Realty from Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty, where she was named to the Atlanta Board of REALTORS® Multi-Million Dollar Sales Club for five consecutive years. With extensive experience in new construction home sales, Janet is certified in luxury home sales and specializes in relocation and new construction builder sales.
Growing up in Savannah, Georgia, as the daughter of a builder and developer, she learned the processes involved in new home construction from her dad. Real estate was a natural fit and Janet has represented several custom homebuilders.
Janet is a member of the REALTOR® Association of Sarasota and Manatee and has received various designations, including Accredited Buyer Representative, Accredited Seller Representative, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, Certified Relocation Professional, Graduate, REALTOR® Institute and Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist. She received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Georgia.
Janet and Robert Sherman brought their skill sets together in 2018 and formed a team to offer exceptional service to the Sarasota lifestyle. They have been recognized by RealTrends Verified among America's Top 1,000 agents for two years in a row and ranked in the top 25 three years running. Janet is now branching out in a new direction, mentoring newer agents and adding to her personal real estate team to expand their services and benefit her customers.
Janet loves Sarasota, from the waters of the Gulf and white-sand beaches to the art, culture, dining and shopping. Outside of real estate, Janet's interests include church service, mission work, group fitness as a Certified Group Fitness Instructor at EoS and the YMCA, reading, book club and boating. She is also an avid wine connoisseur. Janet has two Frenchies, Savanna Grace and Sadie Lane, and an Irish terrier mix rescue, Luke.
