We selected Janet after reviewing the online profiles of a number of Sarasota area realtors. Janet’s casual, professional, no-pressure approach was the reason we entrusted her with the job of finding a luxury condo for our family. The fact that Janet has lived on Longboat Key for almost 20 years and is closely connected to the community gave us confidence that she had the local awareness to guide us through the process of finding the perfect Longboat Key Waterfront vacation home. Although we were not in a hurry, and were prepared to spend months to find the right luxury Longboat Key condo, Janet helped us find the perfect property in less than a month. We could not be happier with our decision to hire Janet to facilitate the purchase of our Positano penthouse!

I was not familiar with Sarasota when I contacted Janet and she listened to my needs and asked good questions about my preferences to help narrow down a search. I needed to sell my CA house so for 9 mos we kept in touch and she updated available houses the entire time. She worked hard to scout out appealing choices and I bought a wonderful house not on the market due to her dilligence in locating the perfect place. A dedicated professional, Janet is a gem!

Janet and Steve have been incredible to work with and their attention to our search has seen much appreciated. They quickly led us to the unique property on Jessmyth. We all saw the potential and with their considerable help moved quickly. As we contemplate the demolition of the existing home and construction of a new home, they continue to be a great resource for us. We feel very lucky to have connected with them and consider them friends whose company we will hope to continue to enjoy! We're looking forward to becoming part of the LBK community!Fritz Merizon

There is no better agent. Period. Janet will go the extra mile every time. My family and I are looking for a home and she knows EVERYONE in town. She has helped with schools, playdates, restaurants and has shown us brilliant listings... should be in contract this week - we just have to decide which wonderful home to choose.

Janet deserves 5 stars. She works very hard And is the best real estate I have ever had.

The Walter Group did a fantastic job managing and advertising our listing in Golden Gate Point. We will refer them to future buyers and sellers!

Janet Walter worked on selling our condo in Longboat Key from December 2016 until it was sold this past October 2017. All of us who were in contact with Janet during that time felt that she worked very hard for us and did everything possible to market, show and negotiate the sale on our behalf. At all times, Janet was not only warm and friendly anytime we spoke to her, but she maintained the highest level of professionalism to us and could not have reflected better on your company as a whole. You are truly lucky to have such a superior real estate professional working for your company.

Janet was an exceptional professional in our real estate transaction. Janet was the seller's agent and we, the buyers, but she always made us feel that she was doing everything to facilitate the deal for both parties. The inspection issues we raised were immediately addressed and resolved by Janet. I never hesitated to call her directly with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Janet, from both a seller's and buyer's standpoint!

We are so excited about our new home. We truly believe that had it not been for Janet Walter's hard work and diligence, this purchase would not have happened. Janet's tenacity and patience were exactly what we needed to make this big decision. She is a true ambassador for Longboat Key. We consider her a valued resource and friend.

By listening to and getting to know her clients, Janet Walter uses her intuition to match the client with the right property. Additionally, her widespread relationships allow her to draw from many sources both from the sellers as well as buyers. Her professionalism and attention to detail combined with her relaxed, welcoming manner make Janet Walter my first choice in realtors on the Gulf Coast. I know she is always looking out for my best interests.

Janet Walter was an outstanding agent and deserves 5 stars. She was delightful to work with and successfully sold my house in a very short period of time. I highly recommend her.

All in all, Janet and Steve were phenomenal to work with. They were both professionals at all times, ethical, keep us well informed, and treated us like we were their top priority.  We could not have asked for a better experience and are so thankful we chose Janet and Steve to sell our home. Kind regards, Cheryl

Janet did a great job for us! She was always thinking one step ahead as to what my needs were. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their property sold quick!

Janet has been our neighbor in Sleepy Lagoon on Longboat Key for 15 years. We finally decided it was time to sell our home and based on our long-term relationship, chose Janet as our Sleepy Lagoon - Longboat Key listing agent. We didn’t realize how much was involved in listing, staging, and marketing our home, but Janet made the selling process easy and had our Longboat Key waterfront property sold, for a great price, within a week! Janet also helped us to purchase our new home and coordinated all of the details of coordinating both contracts – almost simultaneously. Janet acted quickly on a property that came back on the market after another deal fell through and treated us as if we were her only clients. She expertly negotiated the best price, leaving us room to make improvements and move within our time frame. We would definitely recommend Janet to both sellers& buyers!

Janet surpassed our expectations as a realtor in every possible way. She was always professional and brought her extensive knowledge of Longboat Key with her, while at the same time was sensitive to the fact that the decision to sell our home was a very emotional and difficult one for us. Janet never pressured or hurried us to do anything we weren't comfortable with during any part of the sales process. When it came time to list our home, she presented our home beautifully, and didn’t overlook any detail along the way to make sure that we were happy with every aspect of the marketing and sale of our home. Living out of town, we were not sure how we were going to get all of the things done to get our home ready to sell. Janet eased our minds by making sure that everything was taken care of. We don’t know how we would have been able to sell our home without her incredible personal touch and attention to detail. The fact that our home sold in just two days and for full asking price is the final proof that Janet was absolutely the perfect person to sell our home. If you decide to list your home with Janet, you will not be disappointed. She takes care of her clients and works tirelessly to make sure that they are completely satisfied. It is a pleasure to be able to give Janet Walter the highest possible recommendation as a realtor.

I was honored when Janet requested that I write on this wall. I found her to be engaging, intelligent and defenitely knows the real estate market in and around Sarasota, FLA. Also, she was able to direct me so I did not have to work so much. I was able to conclude a successful search and put my purchase on hold. I will be following this young lady!
