Jana brings more than 30 years of real estate experience to every client she works with. She began her career as a lender in the 1980s, navigating a market with double-digit interest rates and learning early on the importance of educating and truly advocating for clients. That foundation led to a passion for helping buyers—especially first-time buyers—understand the process and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. After years in residential, construction, and commercial lending, Jana expanded her experience by working closely with home builders, gaining firsthand knowledge of new construction from permitting and framing through closing and the warranty period. This well-rounded background allows her to anticipate challenges and guide clients through a smoother, more confident real estate experience. A mother of four grown children, Jana enjoys traveling and kayaking with her husband, Roger.
