Walter Group Testimonials
Janet Walter and Steve Walter are EXCELLENT realtors. We have purchased many properties in many states during our marriage and have never experienced such an easy and enjoyable transaction ---Janet and Steve are true professionals who really work for their clients. They are fantastic communicators and really listen to what you need and want. Every detail was taken care of and they were so wonderful to work with. We trusted them and highly recommend them. We appreciate all of the hard work they did for us!
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!
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.
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 [...]
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!
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.
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.
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!

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
