I have worked in residential real estate sales in the Westwood area for more than twenty years. As a Boston native and a REALTOR®, I've assisted buyer and seller clients in Westwood, Medfield, Canton, Sharon, Easton, Dedham, Walpole, Norfolk, Wrentham, Norwood, and neighboring communities. I thrive on helping first-time homebuyers as they make their exciting entry into the market, and working with seniors and their families making important moves.

Through my extensive experience, I’ve met and navigated a wide range of challenges to help my clients find and purchase the home they want or sell their currrent homes to make a desired move. I thrive on exceeding expectations, and welcome the opportunity to work with you. I proudly hold REALTOR designations of ABR® [Accredited Buyer Representative] and SRES® [Senior Real Estate Specialist]. Additionally, I have been committed to the Greater Boston Association of Realtors [GBAR] and Massachusetts Association of Realtors [MAR] as a past member of the Board of Directors for both REALTOR organizations. 

My passions include travel wherever it leads (especially in France), my love for dogs, and spending time with family. Having traveled and lived in Europe, I appreciate the French language, food and wine. As a member of the UMass Club in Boston, and a graduate of UMass Amherst, it's always a pleasure to join fellow members in the city to socialize.

TESTIMONIALS:

  • "Our entire experience with Janis Urbanek was excellent. Her personal attention to detail continuously reinforced our confidence that she was working with our best interest in mind. Janis had been recommended by a friend who was another of her satisfied clients; we have already recommended her to friends."   Bob, Westwood MA
  • “We loved working with Janis! She went above and beyond for us. Any time we reached out, she got back to us right away. Janis was able to secure us the first viewing for the house we purchased. This allowed us to be the first offer on the table ultimately leading us to be chosen for the property, despite higher offers being placed after ours.”    Grace, Wrentham MA
  • "As first time home buyers, my husband and I could have been discouraged by the lack of homes on the market. Janis walked us through each step, helping narrow our search that led us to purchase a home that we love. Janis is a great communicator - she is clear, timely, efficient and thorough. This is what makes her a wonderful agent to work with."   Randi, Sharon MA
  • "My wife and I met Janis when we were seriously entering the market to buy. With prices continuing to rise and interest rate hikes on the horizon, the market seemed out of control. Janis helped guide us through the market, the towns, and the stresses of it all with level headed thinking and professionalism—second to none. With the market prices rising, we had basically given up. However, when a truly promising listing came up that delivered on more than we ever thought we could find, Janis worked tirelessly and was incredibly responsive. She worked with us on our approach to make a fair offer and wisely told us, “In real estate, time is of the essence.” Not sooner than one hour after our offer was accepted, a better one came in. Janis guided us through closing and beyond. Janis was more than a real estate agent. She grew to be a friend to our family and we truly feel like we found “the one” with our house and we could not have done this without her."   Patrick, Medfield MA
  • "As first-time homebuyers the experience can be overwhelming, but not with Janis. My husband and I were impressed with her knowledge, experience, and the amount of time guiding us through the process. She comes with a team of experts -from the moment we met she provided us with a helpful buyer's guide, connected us with a mortgage broker and an amazing lawyer. This made the process smooth and easy as everyone worked together." Kathryn, Millis MA
