Here are a few of Jan's Client's Testimonials:

-Real Estate at its finest!!!!
Shoot, where do I start? If I said that Jan was patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and just plain awesome, I’d be falling way short of telling you about Jan. Patient, organized, thoughtful, and honest, ready to fight for her clients.
When we conducted reviews of realtors in the Venice area Jan came up with 5-stars. As it turns out, if there were such a thing as 15-stars, Jan would be above that. She took us to well over 30 properties, some several times. Never frustrated with us. Super supportive. As it turns out, we finally settled on the third that we saw. Nevertheless, Jan was right their spending countless hours with us, supporting us. NO Pressure.
Now we bought many houses but never with the support and patience that Jan demonstrated throughout the search.
Jan has become our dear friend, and part of our family. So special and caring.
Honestly, if you need a true realtor to make certain that you find the right house for you and you family, Jan is the only one to work with.
Thank you Jan for being an advocate for us and way more.

Simply the best!
The best decision we made in selling our home and purchasing was to hire Jan as our agent. This current market is not for the faint of heart. Jan guided us through the sale and purchase of our homes with professionalism, efficiency, patience, determination and dedication! She goes above and beyond for her clients. She zeros in very quickly with her clients to know their likes and dislikes. Her skills and experience shined on both ends of the deal : buying and selling. With Jan in your corner and working as a team you will get the best $$$ on both sides. We would not think twice about recommending Jan to anyone to make sure you have the best agent that will work for you! If there were 100 stars we would give it to her!

More Testimonials:
We just closed on a home in Venice, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Jan’s assistance. When we began our search we were uncertain of what we were looking for. Jan’s patience and persistence help us understand the Venice real estate market. She showed us many homes and new construction in various areas. Even after returning to Indiana without finding a Florida home, Jan continued to follow up and send us listings. She screened houses for us and arranged FaceTime showings. After we found the perfect home, Jan expertly aided in the offer negotiation process. Jan was the ideal realtor for us. We would definitely recommend Jan to anyone wishing to buy or sell in the Venice/Sarasota area. Janet B.

Jan Hlywa made our entire house buying experience stress free! She helped my older mother purchase a place sight unseen. Jan was extremely responsive and has extensive knowledge on what is going on in the real estate market. Did I mention just how patient she is? She answered every single question asked of her by my whole family and made moving from NY to. Florida a snap! Jan is a pleasure to work with! She then jumped right in to help when other members of the family moving to the area! 2 houses purchased with Jan’s help, I highly recommend reaching out!! Laurie S.

Jan was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, giving us the guidance and support needed in order for our home buying experience to be as smooth as possible.
