Janet has assisted us in a number of real estate transactions over the course
of the last 8 years. She has been exceptionally patient and helpful in not only
the process of these transactions but in the tough decisions that preceded
them. While others might have rushed us, Janet’s ultimate goal was to keep
her clients happy. With us, she has achieved that goal!
- Erin and Bryan Lackaye, “ZILLOW”
With Janet’s guidance we closed on a beautiful new construction home in
Newton, MA. As out-of-state buyers Janet was our Newton/Boston insider
and her expert, consummate knowledge of the region helped us to focus on
a wonderful neighborhood in which to live. We were thrilled start to finish
with the expert advice and professional service that Janet provided us. Her
positive and enthusiastic personality made working with her a joy and we
would highly recommend Janet to everyone looking to move to the
Greater Boston area. - Bob Romeo, Newton, MA “LinkedIn”
Janet was our agent when my husband and I were helping my son look for a
condo in the Brighton, MA area. It had been many years since we had looked
to purchase real estate. Janet was patient with us through the whole process.
Offering advice and reassurance when we became frustrated and discouraged.
The condo market was brisk and we were outbid on several properties before
finding our son’s dream condo at a price he could afford. I would
enthusiastically recommend Janet for her professionalism as well as her
caring attitude! - Fran Jencks, “ZILLOW”
Janet helped us through purchasing our first home together. Not only did she
guide us through the stages of buying our beautiful new condominium, she
also provided a tremendous amount of support and advice. She continuously
advocated for our best interests and we are extremely thankful to her!
- Melissa and Joe Garlick, Roslindale, MA
Janet is an absolute dream to work with. Personable, honest, not pushy, and
incredibly perceptive. She knows the Newton area like the back of her hand,
and gives amazing advice. She is prompt at returning emails and phone calls,
and always makes sure you have all the information to make the most
educated decision. She makes searching for a home, an otherwise stressful
venture, significantly easier, and downright pleasant. It goes without saying, I
very highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. - Jesse Pino, YELP
Janet, has been helpful in providing advice regarding co-ownership of property
that was in dispute. Her knowledge of the marketplace and how to negotiation
towards an equitable solution was valuable to me in ways beyond what I have
come to expect from a realtor. I would recommend Janet to all I know.
- Liz Cacciatore, Harwich Port, MA “ZILLOW”
Janet managed the sale of my two condos in Boston for me while I was living
in CA. Thanks to her, the process was smooth and easy.
- Andrew McCormick “Real Satisfied”
Finding a single family home (while being out of the state) in this rather
aggressive Boston area market was frustrating to say the least. Janet was a
huge help during this process in closing the deal on a location that met our
criteria: Good schools, and close proximity to our new places of employment.
She is very committed to finding what you want, and her knowledge of the
Newton/Brookline area is impressive–both key considerations when
shopping for a realtor, no?- Aron Sakarow, Brookline, MA “LinkedIn”

David Williams, Washington, D.C.

After Janet sold my home in Jamaica Plain, I was able to buy my dream condo in Florida. This is a picture taken from the living room looking out to the Gulf. I have seen many dolphins and a great variety of sea birds. It’s a million dollar view. Thank you for helping me make this dream a realty.

Hard-working. Trustworthy. Resourceful. Compassionate. Knowledgeable. Professional. Courteous. Helpful. Honest. Committed. –These are all words I can use without reservation to describe Janet Porcaro as a real estate agent.

She is thoughtful and full of ideas. I felt like she was my personal “House-Selling for Dummies” guide.
