Janet Banken

Being the youngest of a large farming family, I learned early that you had to work hard to be successful. I surprised many by attending college and majored in real estate. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I started my real estate career as a commercial appraiser and after 10 years, I made a bigger change to be a stay-at-home mother. When my youngest was in school full-time, I knew my return to real estate was imminent. I had always liked to view homes and look at floor plans so I decided to sell them. The flexibility allows me to spend time with my family and get back into real estate. I enjoy meeting new people, working to achieve their goals in the sale or purchase of a home, being a resource to the current market and making their transaction a smooth one until the closing. I enjoy being a Realtor more and more each year.
