Janessa was a true blessing I did not know I needed! She was extremely kind and knowledgeable in one of the most crazy times of my life. My short story to my experience with Janessa: I decided to accept a wonderful job opportunity and move to Florida after living all of my 37 years in Texas. Not quite the easiest decision I've made but one I felt I could not pass up, Since I was new to the state and area, I felt that renting was really my only smart decision until I knew where I wanted to purchase a property. So, I originally had a rent home set up through a friend's recommended realtor and unfortunately was completely misled about the actual condition of the property. I was given a video walkthrough and decided to sign the lease since the place fit my needs and budget perfectly, Without going into all of the negativity of this story, I was extremely unhappy with the place when I got there and was forced to either live in a house with potential mold issues, and a horrible amount of cigarette smell in the master bedroom, or go live in an Extended Stay until I could find another place. After one night there and a splitting headache from the stench, I chose to do the latter. Luckily for me, Janessa was friends with a friend's friend! It was a very Small chance of finding her with the amount of other realtors out there, but I am more than happy that I did! That first night around 10pm of the day I got here to Florida, Janessa messaged me through Social Media about helping me find a better place. In 2 hours she had a list of places for me to look through and Within 24 hours, she had me scheduled to view the place I am in now. This place is amazing!! It is Closer to work, in a much better neighborhood, and included weekly yard work for the exact price of the first house I had signed in. It is honestly much more than I could've asked for! She was even able to get the move-in date pushed forward since I was now living in an Extended Stay with my dog and a full Uhaul I was paying each day for since I had nowhere to unload it. I could not have asked for a better experience from her and she even kept me relaxed and confident things would work out quickly. Considering the stress of what was such a horrible start to my new life here, that last part she did for me was extremely appreciated. It will take me a year or two to be ready for a house purchase here in Florida, but I will absolutely be calling her to assist me when I am ready. And I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a new place in this area!! Do yourself a huge favor and choose Janessa Heyward to help and handle finding your new home! read more

Here is the bottom line up front: Janessa is everything you're looking for in a real estate agent, and more. She will provide you with excellent communication and a never ending work ethic. Look no further, and hire Janessa. You won't be disappointed. We recently hired Meyer Lucas real estate to sell our home in Palm Beach County. Holly Meyer Lucas had Janessa work with us. This was the first house we've sold, so we had lots of questions. Janessa was always patient with us, and got back to me extremely quickly. I knew that she was busy with other clients, but I never felt that I was ignored. She responds to text and calls almost immediately. We appreciated this very much. Our home sale required the use of a relocation company (through my wife's employer), and Janessa worked with them flawlessly. If you're not already familiar with relocation companies, you may not know that they can create a LOT of work for the real estate agent. Janessa didn't bat an eye. She handled it with exceptional professionalism - even when it had to have become annoying. Another thing that we loved about Janessa is that she works to hard to sell a home. Open Houses happened almost every weekend, and even if there was slow traffic, her team provides a detailed report on all of the traffic and what the comments were. This report helped us adjust our price to fit the market's demands and to help sell our home quickly. Perhaps the best part about Janessa is that she is surrounded by an incredible team at Meyer Lucas. Everyone there is tremendously passionate about selling and buying real estate, and they put your needs over their own. In the end, my wife and I will absolutely hire Janessa again. She is everything we had hoped for in a real estate agent, and I think you should work with her too read more

Janessa is the best agent I have ever had. I just retired from the Army after 24 years and been living in FL while my family finished out the school year in South Carolina. She went out of her way to make sure she maximized the short amount of time my wife was able to spend here. She had tons of knowledge and put 100% in throughout the entire house hunting and buying experience. She listened to everything we had to say and always pointed out the pros and cons to every house she showed us. She had a ton of patience and encouraged us to reach out and ask as many questions as we needed, not just about the house but the community and schools we were looking at. If she didn't have an answer she got back to us right away with one. She has a whole network of people in the home buying process to recommend like pool experts, house inspectors etc. each one is as valuable and professional as her. One of the things I hate the most when buying anything is being rushed or pressured into anything and you will not get that with Janessa. I highly recommend her, especially if you are active Military or a Veteran. read more

After three days of looking at multiple houses spread out over a few months and weeks' worth of negotiations, my wife and I have closed on our dream house. Traveling from NJ we relied heavily on our realtor's expertise and guidance. The simple truth is a good realtor makes a big difference. In our case, we got a GREAT realtor who made a TREMENDOUS difference. Janessa Hayward is experienced and does her homework which made our job so much easier, especially since we were not familiar with the area. She got back to us quickly and suggested things that we never would have though of that had an impact on our purchase. I'm sure there are plenty of good realtors out there, but if you want a shortcut, just call Janessa. You can thank me later! read more

I am giving my highest praise to Janessa! Buying a property during COVID was an extremely tough process, especially since I was residing in Connecticut.  From the beginning she went beyond all my expectations.  She did multiple virtual tours and zoom appointments to ensure that I saw every property that I was interested in.  She did all the legwork that was needed to make the process as smooth as possible before I even arrived in Florida.  She was calm and poised through a very difficult negotiation and process.  I cannot express how efficient and diligent Janessa was.   I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy property in the South Florida area.
