Janelle Forst

Barrett Real Estate

Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
I'm Janelle Forst, a proud Arizona native with deep roots and a lifetime of local knowledge. From Mesa to Cave Creek and everywhere in between, I know the neighborhoods, the hidden gems, and the market inside and out.

For me, real estate isn't just about transactions; it's about matching people with homes that fit their lifestyle. Whether you're buying your first place, upgrading, downsizing, or selling to start your next chapter, I'm here to make it easy, stress-free, and even fun.

With my hands-on approach, strong negotiation skills, and connections to trusted contractors, lenders, and stagers, I guide my clients from "just looking" to "keys in hand."

If you want a Realtor who's not just local but truly part of the community and who will treat your goals like her own, I'm ready to help.

JANELLE AND HER GREAT TEAM ARE FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!! THEY MADE THE BUYING PROCESS SO EASY AND HELPED MY HUSBAND AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
WHEN WE FOUND OUR DREAM HOME, THERE WAS ALREADY ONE MORE OFFER ON IT AND JANELLE HELPED CONVINCE THEM TO NOT GIVE UP ON US.
JANELLE HELPED US FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO POSITION OUR OFFER AND WHAT PRICE TO GO IN AT TO GIVE US THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHANCE THAT THE SELLERS WOULD ACCEPT OUR OFFER OVER THE OTHER ONE, AND WE WON!
JANELLE IS VERY WELL VERSED AT DEALING WITH OTHER REAL ESTATE AGENTS. WHEN THERE WERE DISAGREEMENTS ABOUT CERTAIN VERBIAGE IN DOCUMENTS, JANELLE WAS PATIENT AND WORKED THROUGH SOME TOUGH SITUATIONS WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT. HER COOL, CALM MINDSET KEPT OUR ANXIETY LOW AND GAVE US THE CONFIDENCE SHE WOULD GET THE JOB DONE - AND SHE DID!
JANELLE AND HER TEAM MANAGED TO GET US INTO A HOME WITHIN 3 WEEKS #.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GREAT REALTOR PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE REACHING OUT TO JANELLE AND HER TEAM,

Janelle is the best! This was my first home buying experience on my own and Janelle made it feel so easy. She did all the hard work, fielded every phone call and text, and was available for all my calls and texts no matter the time or day. She worked around mine and my kids schedule and listened to everything i had concerns on. She helped us get into our home and became a part of our family in the process. I would highly recommend Janelle to anyone needing a realtor!

This was my fourth property purchase. Janelle was excellent.
She worked very hard to get us what we wanted. Her personal, caring nature made this a great experience. And ours was a complicated situation, moving states, etc. | highly recommend Janelle for any of your real estate needs.

Janelle is the consummate professional.
Superlatives apply across the board
l...best
listener, incredibly hard working, meticulously thorough, the definition of honesty. Awesome communicator..the list is endless. We have worked with many real estate persons, but Janelle is at the pinnacle of realtors. She has gone way above and beyond. I did not know her before she listed and sold our home...fact is I have never met her. Everything she did was via phone and FaceTime. She could not have done more. She found pros when we needed them and then supervised their work. We moved out of state and zhe made our sale a dream. She is amazing...you will not go wrong with Janelle.
