Janet Sylvester

Janet and her team were knowledgeable, professional and very helpful. I was buying my first home--a process that should be filled with unknowns, anxiety, and questions. Instead, Janet walked me through the process and made everything flow smoothly. Janet is super responsive, super helpful, and an excellent resource.

Thanks to Great Island Realty, we have found our dream home in less than two weeks. Their team was so pro-active in finding houses that met our requirements it made the house-hunting process smooth and stress-free. Thank you Janet and Margaret, I cannot recommend you more! 

Janet and broker-partner Margaret are the best! We confined our house search to Portsmouth and New Castle--their specialties. They really know these markets--both are extremely well connected. They quickly sized us up and directed us to properties that suited our needs and tastes. We wasted no  time. All the viewings were worthwhile. Our agents' offered very frank, detailed advice--advice that was on target every time. After three two-hour tours--about 10 homes in all--we found the perfect home for us in Portsmouth's South End. Janet skillfully handled all the negotiations for us. Margaret covered the closing with us--the smoothest closing we have ever experienced. My wife and I have been involved in a lot of real estate transactions in our lifetimes. As an attorney with 35 years experience, I have also done a lot of real estate transactional work. We can honestly say that Janet and Margaret are two of the best real estate professionals we have ever known. They earned our highest recommendation!

It's obvious that Margaret and Janet know the market, the people in the industry, the comps and the trends. But when they really added value to our situation was when they looked out for our best interests during the buy/sell process and leading up to the closing. For example, they inserted  language in the P&S to protect our interest, they advised us how to best handle certain concessions the other side requested, and they helped coordinate various details we needed to close. They always replied to questions immediately, even if it meant they had to go find the correct answers. I felt like they really had our best interests in mind every step of the way. They went way over and above just listing the home - they got it sold.

Two professional dynamic women who had a detailed multi- week plan and executed it with perfection. They helped stage the house, hired a professional photographer to take pictures and immediately scheduled multiple showings. They provided excellent feedback to me and sold the house within a week. It was a pleasure to work with them and I recommend them without any reservations

Based on my personal and business experience, whether buying or selling, “Great Island Realty” is the Seacoast’s premier real estate agency. Their determination and efforts in marketing a unique property for us, all the way to a successful closing, was more than admirable. I can say unequivocally that no one will ever regret allying with Margaret and Janet for their real estate acumen, professionalism, and success rate.

"Janet & Margaret, Thanks for all your help. As always you went out of your way to help protect our interests. You're the best real estate team in NH!"

"Janet and Margaret are the Ying and Yang of the BEST real estate sales team ever. No one works harder and is more accommodating than this remarkable pair. They will clean your house, walk the dog and eat your chocolate, but most of all they'll stay focused on selling your house!!"
