Janis and the team at Living In Lenawee Realty were extremely helpful in finding me the perfect home. Looking for a forever home from long distance is not easy, but Living in Lenawee advised me at every step, they were always available to show me homes via video and they took the time to understand my needs and preferences. When the perfect home came on the market Janis knew immediately. I am very grateful for them and can't endorse them enough!

Best in Lenawee County! I had the pleasure of working with the team at Living in Lenawee and I highly recommend them. Within a few short weeks, we found our dream home. We signed within 2 months of “starting to look”. The staff was helpful in our original search and considerate of the requirements my husband and I each wanted. The house we fell in love with had more than a few red flags; but Constance worked with us to get estimates with multiple contractors to ensure we were going to confidently take on our little “fixer upper”. She never made us feel foolish for loving the house, regardless of its condition. She worked with us and the sellers to cover some of the costs of the repairs, so everyone was happy. Their team was knowledgeable, and responsive to all of my (sometimes silly) questions! Even the home inspector they hired went above and beyond, explaining every aspect of the inspection and what we could look forward to in the future. Although we plan on living in this home until we’re old and grey, if we ever decided to move again, we would use Living in Lenawee!

Living in Lenawee Realty helped my fiancé & I purchase our first home. Everyone there was so kind & professional. We were helped by everyone, but Constance was our person. She worked hard doing virtual tours & guided us through the whole process. Living in Lenawee Realty cares about their clients.

I cannot say enough great things about Janis, Ed, Constance and the whole team at Living In Lenawee Realty. My husband and I were looking for a home for many years through the tough market and had switched realtors a few times during that process. Once I contacted Janice, she and her team were determined to find us a home. They weren't scared about our past experiences, and wanted to make sure we would find exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I just closed on our first home with the help of Constance and the team. The communication was superb and kept us updated as soon as they would hear/find anything. Being first time homebuyers, we had lots of questions and they were so helpful in answering them and helping guide us through the process of buying a home. We highly recommend this team no matter who you work with!

Absolutely the best realtors I’ve ever dealt with. Sold my house and my mom’s house within days for more than I ever imagined. Honest, hardworking and went above and beyond expectations. Really nice people.

Janis and Ed both worked to support us every step of the way! We've now purchased two homes with their support and sold one. They did a great job of listening to what we wanted and provided sound advice regarding price, inspections, etc. We would highly recommend them!

This group is great to work with. Communication is a big deal for me and they do it really well. Constance was knowledgeable and patient through the entire process. She was so good about responding to texts, answering questions, and offering recommendations for inspections (which provided some much needed peace of mind). Thank you Living in Lenawee Realty for helping our family find a place to call home.

Living in Lenawee Realty is a wonderful realtor group. They were very sweet and attentive to our needs to help us find our dream home. Very amazing, giving, fun people to be around. However, you won't find anyone who knows their stuff better. Thank you for helping us find our dream home!

Janis Montalvo and her team went above and beyond in the sale of my parents' home. My elderly parents were not ready to move but their health made it impossible for them to live in this big house. Janis was so good with them and meet with them in their new home for all of the paperwork including the closing which could have been very difficult. I would recommend living in Lenawee Realty and Janis Montalvo to anyone looking to sell their home.

Janis and Ed helped us sell our home in Tecumseh and buy our new house Saline. They were really easy to work with and answered all of our questions. We looked for a house for about 8 months and when we finally found one, they were able to sell our existing house right away at a great price so we weren't stuck with double mortgage payments. 10/10 We would use them again.
