Janis and the team at Living In Lenawee Realty were extremely helpful in finding me the perfect home. Looking for a forever home from long distance is not easy, but Living in Lenawee advised me at every step, they were always available to show me homes via video and they took the time to understand my needs and preferences. When the perfect home came on the market Janis knew immediately. I am very grateful for them and can't endorse them enough!

I cannot say enough great things about Janice, Ed, Constance and the whole team at Living In Lenawee Realty. My husband and I were looking for a home for many years through the tough market and had switched realtors a few times during that process. Once I contacted Janice, she and her team were determined to find us a home. They weren't scared about our past experiences, and wanted to make sure we would find exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I just closed on our first home with the help of Constance and the team. The communication was superb and kept us updated as soon as they would hear/find anything. Being first time homebuyers, we had lots of questions and they were so helpful in answering them and helping guide us through the process of buying a home. We highly recommend this team no matter who you work with!

About Janis Montalvo
Janis Montalvo — Your Trusted Lenawee County Real Estate Expert
Hi there! I’m Janis Montalvo, and I’m so glad you stopped by. Real estate isn’t just my career — it’s my passion. Helping people buy, sell, and invest in homes across Lenawee County has been one of the greatest joys of my life.
I started my professional journey in sales and management, where I learned the importance of great communication, strong relationships, and putting people first. In 1996, I took a leap into real estate — and I’ve never looked back. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible clients and amazing companies, all of which have helped shape me into the agent I am today.
In 2014, I co-founded Living in Lenawee Realty, built on a simple belief: the client always comes first. Since then, we’ve created a team and a system that makes buying or selling a home as stress-free as possible. From tried-and-true marketing strategies to the latest tools and technology, we’re always looking for ways to make the experience smoother and more enjoyable.
What truly makes my job special is the people I get to work with. Most of my business comes from past clients referring their friends and family — and that means the world to me. Knowing that people trust me enough to recommend me is the best compliment I could ever receive.
When you work with me, you’re not just getting years of experience — you’re getting someone who genuinely cares. I stay up to date on the latest market trends, strategies, and education so I can give you the best advice possible. Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or investing, I’ll be by your side every step of the way.
