Janet is an outstanding realtor. This is the second time she has assisted us in buying a home and selling a home. She was there for us every step of the way. She made sure we were taken care of and was always a phone call away. She is a great person and
has become not just our realtor but a great friend. Please do not hesitate to work with Janet for all of your real estate needs!
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.
I highly recommend Janet Nowlin if you are looking to buy or sell a home. She was outstanding in getting me top dollar for the sale of my home. We had numerous offer’s on my home within a 4 day showing period. She also assisted me in buying a new home.
She was with me from the beginning of these transactions, and even after they were completed. Her knowledge of the real estate market is exactly what you need when looking for an agent to assist you in buying, or selling your home. She goes above, and beyond
to help you. I not only found a great agent, but made a new friend.
I live out of state and Janet's help was invaluable. From the initial offer to the day I got keys (and after) she kept me informed and educated every step of the way. I always felt secure and that she was on top of things. I'd definitely recommend her
to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and friendly agent.
I was very pleased with all that Janet Nowlin did in helping me sell my house. We had many offers on my house in a matter of 3 days, and it sold with a great offer to my liking. I would highly recommend Janet to anyone looking to buy, or sell a house.
She is very knowledgeable, and goes above, and beyond to get the job done. She is also there for you after the sale is finished to help in any way she can. I not only had a great Realtor, but gained a new friend.
Janet was a pure delight to work with. She sold my house and helped us find a new one. She goes above and beyond her duties as a realtor. I would recommend her to all my friends and family.
My wife and I first met Janet when we were looking to purchase a condo. She went above and beyond in helping me close on my condo. There was a delay on the part of my bank as the underwriter was suddenly replaced. Janet helped me get into the condo by
arranging a rental deal so that I could have my furniture delivered in a timely manner. She also made herself available any time I had a question, and I had lots of questions. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!
I used Janet to sell my condo recently, and she was always willing to do the little bit of extra work to benefit me. I simply cannot say enough good things about her. She is a consummate professional.

Our experience in the homebuying process with Janet was wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. She was extremely attentive to our unique needs and accommodating in our search. She was very responsive and great at researching every quirky
detail regarding the property that we ultimately purchased. Her communication style is very open and down-to-earth, and she was always able to quickly realize and communicate our needs. We cannot recommend her enough!
Janet is the best realtor anyone could ask for. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home! Great realtor even better person!
Janet did so well helping us sell our house to move out of state. It felt like chaos trying to coordinate everything but she made it turn out so easy & simple!
We met Janet when we moved from FL to VA for a job transfer through our realtor in FL. From the beginning, she was professional and knowledgeable on all levels. She talked with us about our needs and then set out to find the right home for us. She is an
excellent negotiator and she knows in the ins and outs of both pre-existing and new construction homes. We highly recommend her! She is a great agent and has become a real friend to us.
Janet's help with the sale of our home was outstanding. She is not only knowledgeable, but also responsive to questions and quick to find answers. Even in this hot sellers' market, she created a comprehensive plan for the sale of our house, and got it
in front of as many prospective buyers as possible. We ran into a snag with one potential buyer, and she was able to quickly turn things around to re-list the house and get it sold. Throughout the entire process, we always felt that the sale of our house was
getting excellent attention from Janet.
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 amazing for the process of not only buying our first home, but our dream home. As a home inspector in Richmond, I meet different agents every day and Janet Nowlin was my choice. She knocked it out of the park with who she referred me to for lending,
answering all my questions, meeting me when I waited last minute for paperwork, and working behind the scenes. Highly recommend!
Finding Janet to help us find our new home was a godsend! We are new to to the RVA area, we weren't familiar with the different neighborhoods, areas of town, city offerings etc. and Janet was an expert in all. She made what was one of the most important
decisions in our life actually fun and easy. Yes, she was immediately responsive, did an incredible amount of homework on every house we found and came to every appointment we requested with more information on the home/area than we could have ever thought
of.....but it was her approach and personality that made this more than a transaction. She quickly learned our style, needs/wants and proactively began finding us options. Janet is the utmost professional, but her ease, approachability and commitment to developing
relationships is really what drives this review. She became a friend. and isn't that who you want by your side making one of the most important decisions of your life? Thank you Janet, we love our new home!
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.
