Janie Alston was outstanding to work with and made our move to Maryland stress-free!! We highly recommend her to others looking to move to Baltimore and the surrounding areas!! Janie was extremely responsive and helpful from the start and throughout the search process, giving us a variety of homes to tour and information on all of the neighborhoods. She has outstanding communication and interpersonal skills which made our search easy and fun!!! She has great relationships with other realtors and the local community which helped arm us with all the necessary information to enhance our decision-making process. She consistently went above and beyond in communicating with us, our lender, the title company, and others to ensure that our loan was processed and ready for closing. We could not have asked for a better realtor to introduce us to our new life in Baltimore “Charm” City! Thank you, Janie!

Janie and her amazing team (loan officer, transaction coordinator, inspector, movers, title company) did an amazing job from start to finish for our move from a 4 bedroom home in the suburbs to a condo in the city. Her experience, attention to detail and knowledge of the real estate market is unparalleled. She sold our home in the suburbs in 24hrs with an offer above asking!!!! That has to be a record. There’s no way to encapsulate the meaningful relationship we develop with Janie through the entire process. Despite running her busy, successful company, we always felt like we were a priority. We are Blessed to have had the expertise of Janie and her team that made a stressful transition/move a great experience!
by Jovonsia TaylorWorking with Janie was an absolute blessing. She listened to everything I wanted, guided me with patience, and made the home-buying process smooth and stress-free. Her professionalism and genuine care helped me find a house I truly love. I highly recommend Janie to anyone looking for a dedicated realtor!
by Mark JacksonThe best realtor ever!!! My experience was nothing short of incredible!!! It was a roller coaster ride, but Janie and her team made it a smooth ride!!
by Tiesha BainesJanie and her team have been the most helpful and supportive in the home buying process. Despite not purchasing due to unforeseen circumstances she continues to encourage and advise me in the process. The Empress team does it all for all things home buying and not in a cheesy way. They make the process seamless and convenient . Janie’s extensive knowledge and support for her clients is immeasurable. When she says she’s your realty for life she means it… from purchasing to maintaining and even decorating.
