We would 100% give Janet Oberholtzer a 5 star rating! She has been excellent to work with and it can't be easy for her because we live in Minnesota. Janet keeps us updated on what is available on the market, patiently answers all questions and goes above and beyond to provide us with support as we go forward with making a purchase. She is the best!
Janet is wonderful. She helped us every step of the way. We love her
Janet wAs very prompt and dependable for all appointments. She went out of her way to accomodate us for all appointments and inspections I would want her for an agent again. Jack Newsom
Janet was great to work with. She kept my sister and I up to date through the process ( we both live in New York). She went above and beyond to help. There was some bumps in the process( our fault not hers), that didn't slow her down. Would absolutely recommend her!
Janet Oberholtzer is an experienced, competent and highly organized real estate agent. Her conscientious efforts to learn about clients’ needs and preferences, along with her prompt and assertive approach to arranging showings, make the search for a new home a most enjoyable experience. Janet will also educate, inform and guide clients through the entire home-buying process. Don and I are truly grateful to Janet for helping us to purchase a home in Venice, and we consider her a friend.
Janet is truly an agent who can be trusted to do what she says she is going to do. Excellent communicator, reliable & gets the job done! One of the very few professional agents in Venice FL!
I cannot say enough about Janet, she truly listens to her customers. As a customer service representative myself, I take customer service extremely seriously, and that means “listening to the customers”. Janet truly heard my husband and me, she didn’t push us, she listened. When Janet knew we were on the verge of walking away from Bellacina, she intervened and told them “they will walk away if you do work with them”. She understood who we were, and where we wanted to be, as well as what we wanted. Customer Service and listening is so important, and I truly felt Janet was an excellent listener. If it wasn’t for Janet truly helping us through the entire process, I don’t believe we would have purchased when we did. Listening to us pointed us in the right direction to make the best choice for us. Janet is wonderful and MSC is lucky to have her, and as I have already done, I will continue to recommend Janet and MSC to friends/family.
Janet Oberholtzer went above and beyond to make our buying process seamless and enjoyable. Her patience, dedication, and attention to detail were remarkable. Janet truly listened to our needs and wishes, which allowed her to find the perfect home for us. Even though we were shopping remotely from Maine, Janet made it easy by providing frequent updates and creating detailed videos of properties. Her expertise in negotiations and her guidance throughout the entire purchasing process gave us confidence and peace of mind. We highly recommend Janet Oberholtzer and Michael Saunders & Co. to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate experience. Thank you, Janet, for making our dream a reality!
My husband and I were very fortunate to have Janet Oberholtzer as our real estate agent. We wanted to find a home in the Venice area that we love so much. And we found the perfect home with her help. She is very knowledgeable, dependable and patient (as we had many questions). She guided us through our closing with no problem. Her areas of expertise in the housing market is vast; she has done her "homework" so to speak. And most important, to us, is her personality which is warm and friendly; always smiling. We highly recommend Janet; you will not be disappointed.
Janet has focused on our needs from the beginning and is narrowing our search for a new vacation home in Venice. We are very pleased with her attention to detail.
We all know what a difficult market this has been for Buyers. Not only did Janet deal with this market, but she had to deal with our frustrations of losing offers we submitted. Her explanations and advice were always superb. Janet always graciously set up appointments, pointed out the positives of the property, and allowed us to make up our own minds. I will recommend Janet to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is an outstanding agent and very knowledgeable of the market.
Janet is a true professional, always on top of everything. She is wise and personable. She has worked very hard to make buying a property a journey with as few problems along the way as possible. I cannot recommend her too highly.
We met Janet through a friend who highly recommended her. I am very grateful for the friend that recommended her and for Janet who is one of the most professional realtors I have ever worked with. She is extremely knowledgeable, insightful, patient and honest. I would highly recommend Janet for anyone looking for a house in southwest Florida!
We just cannot say enough about Janet. She was recommended to us by friends and we could not be happier. Our original plan was to purchase an existing home. We toured a dozen or so homes guided by Janet and then stopped by a builder's model home. It became very clear to us that this was the way that we wanted to go. So Janet went to work assisting us with locating the perfect lot. All the while knowing that the commission would be far different than if we had purchased an existing home. She never made us feel any different in this quest than when we were looking at the existing homes. Janet receives a 5 star review from us and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch real estate agent!
We met Janet at an open house and liked her style immediately. Professional but warm and pleasant . Knew the area well and gave us lots of info. She has always responded quickly to any questions we had. My husband and I feel comfortable dealing with her.
While our move has been stymied for the past year, Janet has been kind enough to keep us apprised of events going on in the Venice area. We're looking forward to finally meeting her face-to-face this summer. Thanks for keeping in touch, J.
Janet Oberholtzer is a energetic,helpful and knowledgeable agent- Janet stays on the cutting edge of all new applications in a fast paced industry- she is a pleasure to work with and i refer all my clients and friends to Janet- she is truly the BEST
Janet is a GEM! She is very knowledgeable, patient and an excellent real-estate agent. I know she is an asset to the Michael Saunders Company. I would certainly recommend my friends and family to Janet and definitely would contact Janet in the future if I decide to buy another home. I give Janet a 5+ rating...that's how wonderful we think she is!
Janet went above and beyond the call of duty to help my husband and myself determine the best possible living situation in a State that offers a myriad of choices. She asked pertinent questions that focused on issues that would be important to buying a home in the State of Florida. In addition, Janet was very informative about the areas we were looking in and if she didn't have an immediate answer to a question, she provided the information in a timely manner.

Janet has been great! She has listened carefully to our needs and responded immediately every time we have emailed or called her. She is smart, kind and witty. We are so thankful that we are get to work with her. Janet has kept us in the loop since we first communicated. We look forward to meeting her in person next week and seeing the properties we have become interested in!
Many thanks to Janet. We cannot imagine a better realtor. Although our budget was modest, Janet was always available, providing new ideas and good insights into the potential of houses available. Janet listened to our wishes for a home and was able to find the right properties for us to consider. She is friendly with a good sense of humor, knowledgeable, intuitive, and very competent. We give Janet our highest recommendation. Vern and Ann Hill
Janet is a thorough Real Estate Agent. Janet is clear, concise and follows through on all details. Any time there was a hiccup in a transaction Janet always has a sensible solution.
If you are looking for an honest, hard working realtor, Janet is the one! She was very patient with us, and never exerted pressure on us to buy. We would highly recommend her, if you are looking to buy or sell a house.
Janet is amazing, easy-going and very sweet. She was in tune with what we wanted and took the time to get to know our preferences. She was responsive to our questions and made the home buying process incredibly smooth. We highly recommend her.
Janet was a pleasure to work with. She is thorough, answers all questions, and was instrumental in resolving problems that occurred -- even when they were not directly her responsibility. I highly recommend Janet in making your purchase or sale of your home a more pleasurable experience.
Janet was the perfect realtor that you wish every realtor was like. She answered all our questions and went out of her way to help in any way she could. It was a good experience dealing with her.
Janet has been a wonderful Real Estate Agent. She went above and beyond to get me what I needed and to help with all the bits and pieces to get this place closed. She is warm and personable and you soon feel as if you have known her forever. I believe her to be very aware of the the current market and the specific developments. I would whole heartedly recommend Janet to any of my friends and if buying or selling would reach out to her again.
We feel so blessed to have had Janet Oberholtzer as our realtor when searching for our FL home! Not only did we end up finding a new house that would be finished by the time we needed it, but it was also only a few miles from beautiful Gulf beaches . . . an area we thought would be out of our budget. Janet is a true professional! She is always on top of each development along the way & responds quickly to questions or concerns, even if it is late in the evening or on weekends! We highly recommend working with Janet if you are looking for a home in her gorgeous area of SW FL! She will work hard to make your dreams come true!
We can't THANK YOU enough for all your efforts & all with a smile! We enjoyed working with you - you're a TOP NOTCH Realtor! Would highly recommend you to our friends and family. Michael Saunders is lucky to have you represent them.
From the moment that we met her to look at 13 homes in one day, she made us feel like we were the most important clients that she had ever had. She took her time and answered all of our questions with great knowledge and we never felt rushed. She even had additional properties for us to view that we had not selected but that she thought might meet our criteria. After spending most of the day touring properties we went to visit a model home at Fireside Builders. This was at the request of others that were with us that is working with another builder to compare what Fireside had to offer. Well....once we had toured the model home we were absolutely convinced that our money would be better spent purchasing a lot an building our dream home. We let Janet know that this was going to be our course of action and she offered to assist with finding the lot as well. She was available to us all along the way until we found a lot that we were interested in which was not listed as for sale. She went above and beyond for us by locating the owners (which was not an easy task) and contacting them on our behalf. She was able to secure a price and did everything that we needed to have done in order to purchase the land at a very small commission for herself. She then referred us to the title company and as of January 18, 2019, we are the proud owners of our land in Venice Beach. We then reached out to her again to ask for her recommendation for an insurance company to supply us with an estimate for homeowners insurance which was required by our lender for the purchase of our home. Of course, she was happy to oblige and we are absolutely thrilled with her recommendation. We just cannot say enough about this woman and her customer service.
I recently bought and sold my homes with Janet. She is an outstanding agent who is very patient, thorough, and very knowledgeable regarding the area and housing in general. She is interested in making sure her clients are getting what "they need" and always has the best interests of her clients in mind. With the additional challenges of Hurricane Ian, I never felt rushed or uninformed of the process along the way. I have already recommended Janet to other people and will continue to do so in the future. Additionally, the office staff that assisted with both my purchase and sale was pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable, making my overall experience seamless and stress-free. I would be happy to do business with Janet and Michael Saunders again in the future.
We purchased our first condo in Venice, FL in 2015 and worked with Janet Oberholtzer. She was great to work with and made it a pleasant experience. When we decided to sell the condo and look for a house we wanted to work with her again. She sold the condo in record time and then helped us find the house we were hoping for. Janet was very helpful in both transactions. Neither of us is very computer savvy and she walked us through each step while we were back here in Indiana and everything went smoothly. We would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone. In fact, we did recommend Janet to one of our friends and they were also able to purchase the house in Pelican Point last year. In addition, the MSC Title Company was great to work with. Thanks!! Sincerely, Doug and Jan Hite
I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how pleased I am with the job Janet Oberholzer did for us with regard to the sale of our mother's home. She is the ultimate professional. She was meticulous with the details. She sold the house in what I felt was record time and for much more than we thought it would sell for. I felt very comfortable with her as she is honest and a sincerely nice person. I can't say enough nice things about her. I'm also very grateful for the hardwork and good job she did. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
From the beginning, she was receptive to our wants in a home, showed an extreme amount of patience and related Venice's history and what Venice has to offer. Janet always responded to emails and text messages - even when she was on vacation!. We were never pushed off to someone else. We felt "taken care of" from the first time we met to even after the closing, when she stopped in to see how we were settling in. She also provided us with a list of personally recommended furniture vendors, handymen, etc., which we have used extensively.All in all, working with Janet is an easy, smooth and amazing experience.
During our first week of home shopping we ran into Janet at an open house. At the time we were concentrating on locations. We asked a lot of questions about Florida and she gave us good advice even though we were not particularly interested in that showing. A couple of weeks and a dozen or more open houses/agents later we decided to ask an agent to lead our search. We remembered Janet from the early open house and contacted her. We found Janet to be very knowledgeable, persistent and patient and we would highly recommend her and Michael Saunders & Co. for all the services that they provide. Happy in our new home, Richard & Carol
Janet is an exceptional Real Estate Agent. She is truly knowledgeable and loves her job! She was very patient with helping me find the "right" house for me. After a year of looking, I just settled on my Condo and couldn't be happier. This is not my first purchase or sale and Janet has been by far the best realtor experience I have had.
Janet has stuck with me for over 3 years while I was trying to find my dream home in FL. She has walked me through every stage - and calmly answered all my questions, doubts, fears and excitement through the whole process. It has been wonderful getting to know her and will definitely recommend to any of my friends looking to buy in the area. She is a true god-send, and I appreciate all she has done for me to make this a smooth & painless process !!!
Outstanding experience with Janet. She is knowledgeable, helpful, untiring, and "tuned in" to our needs. Very honest and factual. We recommend her highly. We feel blessed to be working with her.
I have dealings with realtors before and our experience with Janet has been outstanding far above my expectations.From the start of our search, Janet took the time to understand our goals, showed us what the greater Venice had to offer, and then began to show properties that fit.Janet was very sincere that and conveyed a personal association where Linda and I felt a building level of trust in her judgment.Janet took the time to find the right purchase and at no time tried to “sell” us on an adequate but not quite right property. She was just as forthcoming in pointing out the positives of a property as well as less desirable features. Very patient, never rushed us.Once we decided on Renaissance, Janet was involved in the negotiations on our side of the table taking the side of her buyers. Janet got involved with recommendations for insurance providers. Assisted with certain issues with the builder. Showed up for the walkthrough noting areas the builder needed to correct.To Linda and I Janet is the Michael Saunders agency and we are quite pleased with our experience and will not hesitate to recommend Janet to anyone who wants a higher level of a real estate professional.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Janet. She was a very generous person with her time and worked us into her schedule to meet our needs. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market in the Venice area and we found her to be a wealth of information. She went out of her way to thoroughly explain things to us, was patient with us as we were looking for a home and was always gracious. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new residence or vacation home - she was fantastic!
It has been a year since we purchased our home and Janet continues to surprise us. Thank you for the Happy 1st year anniversary card!
Extremely great !!
Janet is very dedicated as a real estate agent. She goes above and beyond her job and always with a smile! We feel she is very knowledgable . Also very prompt in finding answers and returning calls. Thank you, Janet I would recommend you to friends and family!
Janet was great! Exemplary! We admit our criteria for a home was nearly impossible to find. Janet worked very hard to find a perfect place, expand our knowledge of the current market, and show us homes we might consider. Janet was patient, always available, always replied to questions, and she was sensitive to our wishes, always steering us to homes and locations that we might consider. Janet worked hard for us every step of the way. She was delightful, cheerful, with a great sense of humor. She guided us to the home which matched our criteria. We are very happy with our home in the Venice/Nokomis area and especially grateful for Janet’s knowledge, understanding, and guidance on our search for our new place. Thanks, Janet. You are the best. We can’t thank you enough. Ann and Vern Hill
Janet was great. She was patient with us , we had many demands, and found us the right home. Even after the closing she continued to help us get settled ,find the right contractors for painting , and minor repairs. We highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a home in Sarasota County.
Janet, has been great. She is always quick with a response and is always ready to help.
Janet was incredibly attentive and diligent in helping us find our home in Nokomis. We were under a very tight timeline and she pulled it off! She was also a true pleasure to work with and we enjoyed her company along the way. I was very impressed with Jon as well! He and Janet worked really well together pointing out various details to pay attention to. They struck a great balance in giving us individual custom attention but also the space we needed to make a decision. Great folks. So grateful for them!
We were very happy with Janet. The photographer that she choose took excellent pictures of our home and included all of our upgrades in the description of our home. We were very happy with the price that she suggested in listing our home. Our home sold in four days, first person that looked at it and we got our asking price. Janet also accompanied us when we looked at the home we wanted to buy. We were building the home and she helped with picking out things and was helpful in final walk thru. You can not go wrong with hiring Janet as your realtor.
If you are looking for am extremely flexible and fast communicator, Janet is it! We had very good communication with Janet prior to our move but boy did she pull out all the stops once we arrived!!! She responded to my 6:30am texts when we found a house that went on the market! Now that is service! No problem seeing houses on the same day and returning later on in the day for a second showing. Once the contract was ratified, she continued to guide a smooth process and we couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you so much!
We could not be more pleased with Janet. She had a thorough knowledge of the area and properties we were interested in looking as well as selling our home. She went the extra mile in so many ways. Highly recommend her. With many choices in the realtor market, and has been in sales meeting lots of realtors in the past I knew I wanted to work with Janet when the time came for us to purchase our next home. We can't thank her enough!
Janet. As a RE broker in Massachusetts since 1979 I have met many people over the years, Both Barbara and I were extremely comfortable with your friendliness, punctuality, and knowledge of your market. Most importantly you did not try to sell us anything, but listened and found just what we were looking for. You are a true professional. Be sure that we will recommend you to all our friends and/or customers coming down from the Boston area. Sincerely, Barbara Sweeney and James Gilmore, Owner/Broker
