★★★★★
"Janet is a smart, engaging, dedicated professional that did a fantastic job throughout our process. Her active business leaves her with intimate knowledge of the market and how to position and price to get a deal done. Janet was a delight to deal with for both us and prospects. She finds a way to always be positive and calm, even while being objective and critical of evolving facts. Finally, Janet is a relentless professional. Her commitment never waned, regardless of ups and downs, until a deal was completed. Janet is simply a very good person who will do everything she can to help you succeed. I would give Janet my highest recommendation." - C. Joseph

★★★★★
"We recently had the opportunity to work with Janet Karabas when we sold our real estate in Winnetka. Before selecting Janet, we interviewed her and we were incredibly impressed with her knowledge of the real estate sales process, her knowledge of the Winnetka real estate market, and her sales track record. During the sales process, Janet advised us on the right sales price, helped us prepare the property, created an outstanding marketing document, held numerous open houses, and then helped us negotiate a very good sales contract. Janet's leadership helped sell the property very quickly. We felt very comfortable knowing that Janet was representing us with potential buyers. Overall, we could not have been more impressed with Janet and the value she provided. Many thanks Janet!!!" - E. Carey

★★★★★
"Janet has successfully sold our houses, three times now. I keep going back to her for help as I can confidently rely on her to treat it as her own. She's knowledgeable, professional, kind, and always goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her!" - H. Hong

★★★★★
"I listed my contemporary residence with Janet. The house was unique because it was designed by my dad, a well known Chicago architect, and occupied continuously by my family since 1969. I live out of state and Janet was of immense help in preparing the house for showing by arranging for cleaning and maintenance services. All of this was above and beyond what I could have expected of any other agent. Janet enlisted an architectural writer to publish a piece on the house in Chicago Business that produced 3 immediate offers, and we sold for more than asking. The end result was truly outstanding and I highly recommend her." - S. Fujikawa

★★★★★
"Janet and her team are true real estate professionals. Very knowledgeable, capable, and responsive." - N. Katsinis

About Janet

Navigating the complexities of the real estate market with a personalized approach rooted in care and expertise is at the heart of what I do. I’m committed to making your buying or selling journey seamless, rewarding, and empowering, helping you feel confident in every decision. My focus is on providing the guidance, attention to detail, and market knowledge you need to make the best choices for your future.

I began my real estate career managing residential properties in Chicago’s Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, and Lakeview neighborhoods. This hands-on experience gave me invaluable insights into homeownership and market dynamics, shaping the thoughtful and strategic guidance I provide to every client.

A longtime North Shore resident, my husband and I raised our three children in Winnetka before recently downsizing to Wilmette. My deep ties to the area, combined with firsthand knowledge of local schools, park districts, and community amenities, uniquely position me to help you find a home that fits your lifestyle and needs.

In 2019, I partnered with Noah Levy to form The Noah & Janet Group. Together, we bring over 30 years of combined expertise, rooted in integrity, transparency, and a strong work ethic. Our client-focused, results-driven approach ensures you are our top priority every step of the way.

For me, real estate is about building relationships that last far beyond the closing. Whether it’s checking in after your move, offering advice on home improvements, or simply staying connected, my goal is to be your trusted resource for years to come—a lifelong partner for all your real estate needs.
