Janis Collier - Sarasota Real Estate & Sarasota FL Homes For Sale

Meet Janis Collier

HIGH ENERGY. High performance. Those words describe Janis Collier. For more than 22 years, this dynamic real estate professional has helped clients find their ideal property or sell their existing home.

“Each client has a lifestyle, with specific needs and tastes,” says Collier. “My job is to translate those needs into reality.” She listens well and builds the client relationship by being both thorough and efficient. “My clients’ time is valuable, so I do a lot of work behind the scenes and make sure the time they spend with me is 100 percent productive,” she says.

Collier specializes in beach, bay, downtown, golf course and country club communities, and is familiar with Sarasota’s cultural offerings, educational, recreational and employment resources. She and her husband, Ron, consider philanthropy to be vital. They have been active in the community since 1978 and continue to work with several area nonprofits. “The town has been generous to us, and that’s one way we can give back,” Collier says.

In a long career that has seen the highs and lows of Sarasota real estate, Collier has a large percentage of repeat customers. “Trust is the operative word,” she explains. “Clients call me because they trust that I listen to exactly what they want.”

It’s a trust well-earned. Collier was honored as the single top-producing sales associate at Michael Saunders & Company’s downtown Main Street office for four consecutive years.

Collier attributes her success to the fact that “in this market, listening skills are essential combined with a proactive strategy tailored to the client’s needs.” It’s what makes so many clients return and rely on her for their next “smart move.”
