Janet Carpenter

Janet Carpenter joked that if her husband had bought the right house in Las Vegas, maybe she would not have become a realtor more than 30 years ago. Carpenter, the managing broker for the Summerlin office of Signature Real Estate Group, was the 2019 president of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. A self-described Navy brat, Carpenter never had a home for long and attended thirteen schools, including one on Midway Island. When she married her husband Jerry, an Air Force pilot, they never stayed in one city for long. They were married in Austin, Texas, and have lived in Florida, Virginia, Alabama, and Alaska over the years. There were even three separate stints in Las Vegas starting in 1983.
