Janet Nowlin

When my Mother decided to sell her home of 31 years, there was a lot to do. One of those tasks was to hire a Realtor. Being an active Realtor myself, I flew down from Massachusetts in March of 2023 to help her with that process. We interviewed three Realtors. All were highly qualified with a lot of local experience. The final decision was my Mother’s and while all three were impressive there was only one who we both felt would truly meet her needs as an elderly down-sizing widow.

Janet came to the meeting prepared and made a warm, instant connection with both of us. She was the last Realtor we interviewed and my Mother had been leaning strongly towards someone we had already spoken to prior to Janet’s arrival. Janet didn’t know it, but she was going to need to really impress and she did. She brought expert local market knowledge and was very flexible in setting up a plan to help my Mother get her home to market.

I remember Janet stating, and I’m paraphrasing, that she takes the time to get to know and work intimately with her clients. That gave comfort to both me and my Mother. We knew that we had someone on our “team” who would help in any and every way she possibly could. And she did. Never once did she disappoint and trust me, there was A LOT to do to get that house ready.

She had local vendors lined up who could assist with the decluttering process and cleaners who made the home shine. When open house weekend arrived, we had many parties come through the home and had multiple offers all above the list price to consider.

Janet was also able to negotiate a free lease-back period with the buyer so that Mom could stay in the home and take the time to find her new home.

If I could give Janet 6 stars I would. When you are looking to make your next Real Estate move in the Richmond area, please consider speaking with Janet. And then hire her. You will be glad that you did!

Thanks to Janet Nowlin's hard work, it took less than two days to sell each of the homes I had put on the market (one a rental, the other where I was living). Janet advised me on preparing the properties for showing, spread the word about the listings, negotiated with prospective buyers during the ensuing bidding wars, and guided me through the closing process. Both homes sold for more than we expected -- and went to deserving families. I couldn't be happier with NextHome Integrity Realty. Count me as, in Janet's words, a #Client4Life.

Our experience working with Janet has been nothing but amazing! She worked with us throughout the process of buying and selling our home. It is a very, very tough market for buyers but she still managed to find us our perfect home! She also helped us sell our house in less than a day. She was there every step of the way, and we were able to contact her at any time. Janet is a true professional and she always puts her clients first! We always felt like she had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Janet! She will always go above and beyond for you!

I was moving from another state so 2 years ago I just started browsing the real estate markets for locations and pricing on what was available. When I knew I was getting closer to move time my Email and phone number was picked up by Janet Nowlin. She was the most Responsive person I've ever met 'over the phone'! I was coming to Virginia with no family or friends here because the location and cost of living seemed to be a fit for me. Every couple of months Janet would check on me and my progress. I made plans to move then Covid hit us with a 3 month lock down so I decided to push the move out. Janet kept in touch the whole time. She was able to find affordable temporary housing for me until we could find a place. The affordable part of this was not easy which I didn't realize until later. She set me up with a fabulous mortgage company. I even had emergency surgery which delayed us! Janet stayed in touch the whole time always offering to help me. While looking at places she asked how I felt about them not pushing me into anything, just to narrow down the right locations and styles for me. When I found 'the place' she is so well connected in the community, that I felt confident to proceed in buying the property with all of the future work it needed and the negotiation of the proper price. She always protected me and 'had my back' paying attention to details and answering questions. The closing was smooth and professional. She developed such a partnership with me that she actually stayed with me on move in day giving up her time so I wasn't alone, as I had 2 trucks of stuff to deal with. So she is highly recommended by me and saved me so much extra stress! Please contact Janet Nowlin for all your real estate needs, she will Work for you!

Janet was absolutely GREAT to work with. She is patient and understanding of clients wants and needs and can be counted on to act in their best interests. She found the perfect home for me after a long house hunting process with many changing factors. After we got a contract, when things did not go exactly as planned from other parties, she sprang into action working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the transaction got back on track and closed as scheduled. Her network of lenders, home inspectors, insurance agents and even local restaurants helped make moving across country much less painful. If you want an agent who treats you like a friend and listens to your priorities, then I highly recommend Janet. I'm proud to say she is my Realtor and first friend in my new area.
