Ms. Owen is a consistent top producing agent specializing in high-end residential real estate.

"We congratulate Janet, who operates as an individual producer, on an outstanding month, including the highest condominium sale in the city to date," said Rick Sobin, Senior Vice President and Managing Broker of the Prudential Rubloff Mag Mile office. "She works extremely hard on her clients' behalf. These are impressive results from an impressive agent. I believe it points to bright dates ahead for the real estate market."

"People who are waiting for the real estate market to bottom out, may have already missed the boat," said Owen. Ms. Owen closed six transactions totaling $17,713,500 in the month of July.
