Janet Hays

In 1994 I became a Kansas and Missouri licensed real estate broker selling everything from Sears kit homes in the Ward Parkway neighborhood, to new construction property. Following a few more corporate relocations with my family, we moved to DesNn from Virginia in 2013.


My experience, and routinely taking courses, keeps my real estate knowledge current. Through coursework from National Association of Realtors I have earned multiple certifications. These include specialties in electronic media marketing (e-Pro), Military Relocation Professional and a certification focusing on real estate property sustainability (Green Designation). Along with corporate managerial, sales and technical training courses, I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Ask me about how this education and background has benefited my customers. I would love the opportunity to talk with you about the scope and variety of real estate involvement I have had with my customers.


When it comes to comprehensive real estate practice, I can work with my customers’ unique challenges having requirements such as builder’s custom contracts, lending as well as FHA and VA loans, insurance and other relevant topics. I also enjoy working within the community on another level.


My transfer of nature-loving interests has also evolved from Coral Reef Conservation and Underwater Naturalist into community involvement that has thus far included 2022 President of the DesNn Garden Club and Okaloosa County Master Gardener Volunteer Educator of the year in 2024. I also speak on key naturalist topics such as pollinator gardening and “petscaping”, on avoiding toxic plants that can harm pets.


If you are considering buying or 1031 swap of real estate, I look forward to helping you whether you are purchasing a condo as an investment property, a primary residence or the forever beach home that you have been dreaming of for years.


Please contact me if you are considering selling your real estate. I will diligently pursue the opportunity to market your property accurately, emphasizing the special features that are most valuable in today’s market for the best return on your investment, in the timeframe that meets your needs. I look forward to assisting you with moving on to the next goal in your life.
