Fantastic experience

Janet really, really listened to me and only showed me properties that met my criteria. She was extremely helpful in selling my farmette that had some challenges which enabled me to buy my current home. She always kept me in the information loop, offered excellent suggestions about financing and closing, giving me a strong feeling of confidence in her advice. She has followed up with me after I moved in, making sure I had all the documents and information I needed to enjoy my new home. She made what could have been an extremely stressful experience into one that transpired smoothly and quickly. I am very pleased with my dealings with Janet and would not hesitate to recommend her services.

Janet is the epitome of what you look for in a realtor

We first met Janet 17 yrs ago, in 2004, as young, first time home buyers with a terrible pre-approval that nobody wanted much to do with….except for Janet! Janet told us from the outset it was going to be a challenge (we liked that about her right away, she wasn’t going to give us false hope) but she worked hard EVERYDAY to get us into our first home, and she got it done! After 17 years, raising both our kids and 2 grandkids in this little house it was time to let it go and our first call was to Janet! Janet met with us and right away we could tell her tenacious approach and attention to detail hadn’t wavered at all in the last 17 yrs! Within 48 hrs Janet had gotten us 3 legit offers on our home, and we ended up selling it for full asking price! Janet’s professionalism is apparent from your first meeting with her and it’s refreshing in todays world for sure! We truly recommend Janet for anyone looking for a pro that really knows the ins and outs of the real estate industry, she gets it DONE!

Great experience

Janet found the perfect buyer for my little farm. She turned what seemed like a nearly impossible task into a reality. She was always there for me, answering questions, making thoughtful suggestions and giving excellent advice. No task, including moving furniture for better pictures for the listing, was unimportant or beneath her. It was a real pleasure working with Janet and I look forward to continue working with her in buying my new home.

From realtor to “relative”

A friend recommended Janet to me as a buyer’s agent. I did not know her before the process began. I was living in the Midwest looking to return to Adams County. Janet’s outstanding professionalism and incredible knowledge of the area as well as her follow through on details large and small allowed us to seamlessly complete all of the necessary steps for me to purchase a home from 860 miles away. She even handled closing for me without a hitch. If you’re looking for a realtor who you can trust as much as a relative, as my friend did for me I can now also highly, and without reservation, recommend Janet Short.

The Perfect Agent

Janet sold a home for us a few years ago and was perfect for the job. We called her again when we were moving back and I would never use anyone else again! Janet knew the markets that we were searching in. We were looking in a very large area and she knew what to look for and where to go. Janet is hard working and a go getter. In such a competitive market, her knowledge and experience made the difference in us getting the house we wanted. Janet was always available (I mean always)! She was determined to help us find what we wanted, where we wanted and for the price we wanted. She searched tirelessly to find our home and then helped us to make it happen. She seems to know everyone, everywhere!

My wife and I moved up here 20 years ago and used Janet Short to find a builder.

We moved from MD 20 years ago and used Janet to find a builder and we were very pleased with her efforts. Most importantly, they are both ethical and professional. After 20 years, it was time for us to sell the house and they performed once again to very high standards. You cannot go wrong using them!! In fact, you cannot do better!! AND, why am I qualified to recommend them? Over 62 years of marriage, my wife and I have purchased four houses, three of which we had built. While working for a Federal S & L, I used to do construction draws, inspections and appraising. I have degrees in accounting and law. I have been licensed in MD as a real estate broker and my wife was licensed as a real estate agent. We have known and observed a number of real estate agents and these two are among the best. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!

Need a real, honest professional realtor? I found one!

When my Aunt needed to sell her house in Littlestown, I immediately called Janet Short. She sold a house for me years ago and I found her to be honest, forthcoming, and very knowledgeable. This transaction as no different. She was very patient with my elderly aunt, taking time to explain the whole process in terms that she could understand easily. She posted very nice photos online and she as very accurate in her description of the property. It sold within a week and closed within a month. Janet knows the Adams-York Count market. Highly recommend her .

Best of the Best!

Janet sold several plots of land and our home. We have used other real estate agents in the past but have been underwhelmed by their performance. Janet, however, went above and beyond marketing, showing and selling our properties. She went so far as to follow up on buying agents to ensure there were no snags come settlement. She is the most hardworking, thorough agent I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. She is the only agent I will ever use again and I have 2 agents in my family. I highly recommend her for all your real estate need.

Great Experience

Janet’s years of experience is in the business is a huge asset, not to mention her customer service is top notch. This isn’t our first time using her, in fact our entire family has used her numerous times over the past 20 years. She’s quick to respond, even while on vacation. She had my house listed and sold in less than a week.
