About the host
Hosted by Janet Kohl
Hi, I'm Janet!
I'm, a real estate investor and developer with 20+ years of experience flipping houses and I hold awards in both restoration and design. I'm driven by a single goal: to help people who've struggled with difficult challenges in life start over. After going through the highest of highs as a successful real estate developer to the lowest of lows as the market and my marriage both crashed, I discovered what it takes to rebuild your life and become truly happy and passionate about life. Now that I'm back in the game, my mission is to help others create a home and a life they love!
I look forward to meeting you and hearing about your adventures and passions and I hope you love my home as much as I do!

Why they chose this property
This neighborhood offers the perfect balance of academic vibrancy and charming city life, making it the ideal place to call home.
I chose this location for its incredible walkability and convenient access to the best of Evanston. We are just a short, pleasant stroll to the heart of Downtown Evanston, meaning world-class restaurants, boutiques, and theaters are always within easy reach. The proximity to Northwestern University adds a vibrant, intellectual energy to the area, and being near Lake Michigan provides the unique luxury of escaping to the beautiful shoreline and parks whenever we want.
It’s a friendly, tree-lined scene that feels residential and quiet, yet offers the pulse of a dynamic city right around the corner.
