Her warm personality and unmatched diligence have earned her the respect of colleagues and clients alike. Her list of contacts is unquestionably one of the best in the industry, enabling her to be among the first to learn of new and exciting purchase and/or rental opportunities in Beirut's most sought after buildings."

"I took a leap of faith and rented an apartment in Beirut online without any real knowledge of the different parts of the city. I was relocating from New York City to Beirut with my 5 year old daughter.

I corresponded with Janmarie via email and she understood my concerns and my needs.
She guided me, even telling me no to certain areas I was looking at, and I could not be more pleased.
 
I went directly to the apartment and signed the contract and it was that simple! More than a real estate agent, Janmarie has an incredible feel for Beirut. She took the time to explain the way thing work and what to expect, and very kindly gave pointers and locations, even a great school for my child.

If I had to do it again, I would only work with her."

"Janmarie was the first of several realtors I spoke with in Beirut.  With the others I spent days looking at houses and apartments they thought I should see, but which often had little to do with what I was looking for.  Janmarie took the time to find out what my needs were - with two kids and two dogs I wasn't an easy customer - and to zero in on the properties that would suit me.  The house she showed me on my first day in the country is the one I ended up renting.  I can't say whether Janmarie is actually magical or not, but I do know it was a pleasure to work with her."

"Janmarie found me a sprawling marble Ottoman villa with what I estimate to be about 50-foot high ceilings, at an affordable price. Before and after, she steered me to good neighborhoods, good restaurants, good shopping and fine art performances."

- Ellen Knickmeyer (The Washington Post)

"Janmarie was a perfect agent for us, she seemed to know exactly what I wanted, she did not waste our time with overpriced properites or wrong locations. Because of Janmarie we now have a perfect home in
Beirut."

Although I was a lowly freelance journalist with a small budget when
I arrived to Beirut, Janmarie took me under her wing. She escorted me to various one and two bedroom apartments around town, helping me negotiate prices with landlords.  After a few days of searching, she found a great one bedroom apartment at a very affordable price in a neighborhood I wanted to live in -- with a view of the sea AND the ountains.  It's been my home for the last three years, thanks to Janmarie.

Janmarie found my dream home in Deir al Qamar, one of the most picturesque villages in Lebanon. She also found my high ceiling sea-view apartment  in Clemenceau, which was an investment property for me. After renovation she also rented it out for a very reasonable price.  In addition, she found  me an apartment on the blueprint in the heart of Hamra.  Her greatest attribute in my opinion is her professionalism as a Westerner, always being on time and talking directly, and at the same time, her ability to communicate in Arabic with all of the doormen in the buildings.  She understands Lebanon and can help anyone find a home and acclimate quickly in this special and very beautiful country.

"Janmarie helped me to find an apartment in Beirut on multiple occasions when I visit Lebanon during research trips ranging from three to five months long. I was always very comfortable and at ease during my stays there - in no small part due to Janmarie's efforts to find me pleasant and well-situated living arrangements. She works with an extensive network of landlords who rent out clean and modern apartments and, perhaps most importantly, deal fairly and responsibly with their tenants. If there is ever a problem, Janmarie is always available to sort things out. Even after her clients are placed in an apartment, she is very generous with her vast knowledge of all the destinations and events going on in Beirut and throughout Lebanon. Most importantly, she is a lovely person and a real pleasure to work with."
