Janet Souza

I am a REALTOR® with Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno, specializing in the luxury real estate markets of Los Gatos, Saratoga, San Jose, and the surrounding Silicon Valley communities. My signature concierge-style service—paired with a steadfast commitment to excellence—defines every aspect of my client experience. Known for being thorough, thoughtful, and trusted, I provide high-touch guidance rooted in deep local knowledge, strategic negotiation, and refined marketing tailored to one of the most competitive and desirable regions in the country.

As a third-generation Californian raised in Almaden, Los Gatos, and Saratoga, I offer a genuine, first-hand understanding of Silicon Valley’s neighborhoods, lifestyle, and market nuances. My global background, including years living and working in Italy, Brazil, New York, and Connecticut, adds a unique dimension to my work with clients relocating to the Bay Area—allowing me to anticipate their needs, bridge perspectives, and serve as a true adviser throughout the process.

Beyond my real estate practice, I am honored to be one of the Northern California hosts of The American Dream TV, the award-winning national program airing across major networks and top streaming platforms. Through ADTV, I feature the best of our region—premier local businesses, the arts, cultural experiences, lifestyle highlights, and the distinctive real estate that reflects the heart of our community. My segments are designed to elevate our local stories, celebrate the people who make this region exceptional, and bring visibility to the lifestyle that defines Silicon Valley.

My career foundation includes more than 27 years at IBM in engineering, management, and executive sales, where I developed a powerful skill set in negotiation, project oversight, client service, and strategic communication. These strengths, combined with my creative marketing approach and passion for storytelling, allow me to provide a dynamic and well-rounded experience for clients seeking exceptional representation.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy baking for clients, spending time exploring local restaurants and trails with my family, and singing—both personally and with local ensembles and churches throughout the South Bay. My love of the arts and community engagement continually enriches the relationships I build and the work I do.

For clients seeking a trusted partner, elevated service, and a bespoke real estate experience, I am dedicated to delivering results that are seamless, high-touch, and truly personalized.
