Janet is extremely professional and thorough. She knows the Great Neck market quite thoroughly, and proved very insightful in how to prepare and stage our house for sale, as well as appropriate pricing strategies. We sold the property quickly and for much more than our asking price, and the house needed some significant work. We would absolutely recommend Janet Marcus as a seller’s agent.

Janet was a marvelous and attentive agent for us. She did everything to perfection, from staging our home, working with contractors, solving knotty problems, and, of course, finding us a buyer. She is eternally upbeat and conscientious. She is the consummate professional - unflappable, considerate, and knowledgeable. Janet is also fun to work with. My only regret is that we don't have another property to sell. I miss working with her.

I rarely write reviews but we had such an amazing experience with our real estate professional Janet Marcus, that it warranted it. We were under the gun to find something fairly quickly as our other place was being sold and Janet was on top of finding us as close to what we wanted as possible, and she was completely on point. She was responsive, intelligent about the area, sweet and stood by our side in every step of the process, especially with an extremely difficult seller. In fact, she did everything in her power to make us feel comfortable with our purchase. I can't recommend her enough.

Janus Marcus is not only highly skilled at her job but also one of the most caring people I have ever met. She truly has the clients best intentions in the forefront. Prior to my putting my apt. on the market, she helped me pick a neighborhood by showing me potential areas and coops that I might like. Janet sold my house at an amazing profit as well as got me the coop of my dreams, Anyone would be very lucky to have Janet represent them. Ellen and Dani

When we decided to sell our house in South Strathmore, Janet provided sound advice around marketing strategies and pricing, leading to multiple bids that led to a sale price over asking. Janet also represented us on our purchase in Munsey Park. She knows the neighborhood and the market conditions, and would make sure we knew what was coming on before it was on MLS. She helped us navigate a very competitive bidding process and we ultimately purchased the house we wanted.

We had the pleasure of having Janet represent us in the sale of our home, and what a marvelous experience that was! Not only is Janet professional and dependable, she is also a personable and caring individual who goes above and beyond the call of duty to get the job done. With her accurate sense of the market, Janet listed and sold our house in one weekend (with multiple offers on the table). We were most impressed with her high level of integrity, which she had demonstrated throughout the negotiation process. We've dealt with many real estate professionals through the years, and Janet is a keeper for sure!

We decided to return to Great Neck Plaza after twenty years of living in NJ. After contacting brokers at several major real estate firms, I could not quite settle on anyone. By sheer luck, Janet happened to return the phone message I left at Daniel Gale. As soon as we started speaking, my gut instinct told me I found the right person. And sure enough, I was right! Janet has extensive expertise not just of all North shore communities in general, but of Great Neck in particular. She has a genuinely friendly, yet professional demeanor and is very tactful in dealing with sellers. She led us through the entire buying process seamlessly. We are now happily living in a beautiful co-op on a much-desired street in the Plaza and could not be happier. Thank you, Janet, for your time, patience, and know-how! You are definitely the BEST!!!

Janet is a true professional. She is very experienced and extremely pleasant to work with. She is always smiling, and was diligent and patient during our many open houses! She also understands how to stage and present a house and had great suggestions to help us sell our home. When it came time for negotiation, she was patient, creative, and respectful of all parties involved. Thank you, Janet.

We have known and worked with Janet since 2013. She is knowledgeable, honest and professional and patiently guided us throughout our long search until we found the perfect (dream) home. We are very grateful to have found such a talented agent and now a good friend!

Ann Hance and Janet Marcus are two of the most incredible real estate agents we have ever had experienced in the process of selling our home. From start to finish, from the original listing, the marketing, the staging, overseeing minor repairs, from attending every single potential showing, for selecting the most promising purchaser, from negotiating the final contract, Ann and Janet have performed an outstanding and incredible job of taking this home from the initial listing to a final sale. These two agents are incredibly knowledgeable, joyful and a wonderful experience to work with. I only wish I had another house for them to sell. Anyone would be be very fortunate to have them as their real estate broker.

Janet is a premier broker (and person) on the North Shore of Long Island. She has represented me on the buy-side, sell-side and rental markets and always is a step ahead of her counterpart. I trust her like family.

We can't say enough good things about our experience with Janet. As first-time house sellers, working with Janet made the daunting task of selling our parents' house as easy as possible. She guided and assisted us throughout the entire process from day one through the closing. We trusted her completely. Janet gave us great advice about things we could do to our house to make it look brighter and to accentuate its size and all its positive features, and she was cost-conscious in all of her suggestions, many of which cost us nothing at all. As a professional stager, Janet put time and care into making our house look warm and inviting and brought many of her own personal items for accents. She expertly advised us on all aspects of selling our home including paint colors, contractors, arranging for a grass cutter, securing required documents from the town (Janet even did the leg work on this for us, as we live a distance away), timing for entering the market, and most importantly, pricing. Janet was always available and extremely responsive to all of our questions, needs and concerns no matter how often we called her. Even during her most busy days and when away on personal time, she always got back to us right away. Janet was professional and a friend throughout, and we feel very fortunate to have had her as our agent.

I was referred to Janet Marcus by good friends who sold a Coop apartment in Great Neck a few years ago and who had nothing but great things to say about the job Janet did with selling their apartment. I reached out to Janet in August 2018 to introduce myself because I was looking to sell my apartment which I was subletting to a tenant until October 1, 2018. I cannot express how great of a job Janet did from my first conversation with her to the closing with the sale of my Coop apartment in January 2019. Janet is extremely knowledge, professional and went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every aspect with regards to the sale of my apartment. She provided me with great advice on the situation with my tenant, she provided tremendous feedback on what upgrades and repairs I should make to the apartment, she referred me to a real estate attorney she works closely with who also did an exceptional job with assisting me and who works very well with Janet. Lastly, Janet worked very well with the buyer, the Coop board and I with regards to the application process to sell the apartment, which is integral for any Coop or Condo sale that has a board who needs to review and approve the application. In addition to Janet’s professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market, she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. My friends could not have made a better recommendation to me for a real estate agent and I pass along my recommendation for Janet Marcus with the highest accolades possible. She helped to make what can be a very stressful process in selling a home a very easy one and was a sincere pleasure to work with. Janet, thank you so much for all your help advice and just for being a tremendous individual to work with!

Janet Marcus is an amazing real estate agent and I highly recommend her to everyone and anyone. She helped my husband and I navigate a very challenging Manhasset real estate market in the middle of Covid where there was little to no inventory. She is transparent, honest, proactive, informative, well connected etc- all the attributes you need for a big purchase like this in a competitive market. Beyond that, her work ethic is impeccable. Along with helping me buy my new house, she also listed our old house in Great Neck- timed everything to perfection and catered to every detail without us asking because she thought of it first. We sold our house very quickly and it was nice to be able to let go and let her lead. She treated us like old close friends / family when she didn’t even know us well. She had our back - advising us every step of the way. Given the inventory wasn’t great during Covid, it actually took us a lot longer than we anticipated to find our home…over a year. She never lost patience with us and stood by us for our benefit, open house after open house. One of the homes we loved fell through due to a failed inspection so we had to pass. The next one, the home owners were emotional/volatile and changed their minds during the contract process and again we had to start over. Without Janet, it would have been so much harder and finally third try was the charm and that’s the current home I’m in. I appreciate her so much, beyond words in a review. She’s high caliber support and A+++ broker. If you’re looking for a home, or selling, definitely reach out to her. She is amazing.

Janet was amazing to work with. Upon meeting her I felt an instant connection because of how kind she was, and I knew I could trust her in my search for a new home. I had very specific requests of what I was looking for, and she found THE apartment that fit all of my needs and wants (and in a short amount of time too)! As a first-time home-buyer, I was really appreciative of her willingness to answer questions and walk me through this process. She made this experience extremely special, and I could not recommend her enough.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Janet to purchase the perfect home for our family. Janet was referred to us by someone who was very experienced with the Manhasset real estate market. From the beginning, Janet made us feel like a priority. Janet went above and beyond to educate us, support us, and fight for us when we found the home we knew we wanted. She has a great eye for what each property has to offer and I felt confident that she only wanted us in a house that was right for our family. Janet knows the Manhasset market inside and out! She made sure we were well prepared to make our offer, and she knew just the right way to negotiate to make sure we had a chance in this exceptionally competitive market. Our closing went extremely quickly and smoothly, which is a testament to Janet’s knowledge and guidance. She anticipated each step and prevented any issues that could arise and cause delays. Janet was always available to discuss questions and concerns. She is deeply connected in the profession and is extraordinary at communicating with other agents. She has a wealth of trustworthy referrals to confidently get you through all of the necessary steps in purchasing your home. Janet earned our trust and I am so thrilled we had her in our corner! You can feel confident that Janet will do what is best for you, and she will do all she can to get you the house of your dreams!

Janet is by far the most patient, kind, knowledgeable and dedicated real estate agent I have met. I am beyond grateful I was introduced to her just when I needed her most. She expertly marketed and sold my father's home and achieved results that exceeded my expectations. I am looking forward to recommending Janet to anyone I know looking to sell or buy on Long Island. Janet is the best in class!
