Janet Larrain: Princeton, New Jersey Real Estate Agent

Where I Work
Princeton & Central New Jersey
If your town isn’t listed, please reach out anyway. I’m
happy to talk about it.
Finding the Right Town, Not Just the Right House
A home is more than the property. I help you look at the whole picture: public and private schools, your commute and NYC train options, restaurants, parks, farms, hiking and biking, and the feel of the community.
I’ll help you compare Princeton with neighboring towns like West Windsor, Plainsboro, Hopewell, and Montgomery, including how property taxes change the picture, and whether a townhome, single-family home, or adult community fits your life.
- Schools, public & private
- Commute & NYC trains
- Property taxes by town
- Parks, farms, trails
- Restaurants & community feel
- Townhome, single-family or 55+
A Strategy Built Around You
I don’t believe in one size fits all. Every home search or sale starts with a real conversation about where you’re headed.
We start with your bigger goal.
Before we look at a single house or talk about a listing price, I want to understand what you're really trying to accomplish. Is this about a better school district, a shorter commute, downsizing, growing your family, or building long-term wealth? Your answer shapes every decision we make together.
Then we build your strategy together.
Whether you're searching for a home or selling one, we map out a plan that fits your goals and your timeline. For buyers, that includes an offer strategy for each home you love: how to price it, what terms matter, and how to stand out without overpaying. For sellers, it means pricing, preparation, marketing, and how we'll handle offers when they arrive.

I walk you through every step.
We review the process together from the first conversation through attorney review, inspections, appraisal, and closing. When something unexpected comes up, like an inspection surprise, a low appraisal, or a tight timeline, we look at your options and work out the best solution together.
I see this as a partnership. My job is to bring the strategy, the market knowledge, and the experience, and your job is to tell me what matters most to you. Together, we make decisions you feel confident about.

"Speaking from experience, not theory."
A Real Estate Investor's Perspective
A Real Estate Investor’s Perspective I’ve invested in real estate for 20 years. My husband Craig and I own 19 properties with 39 rental units, a mix of single-family and multi-family homes.
We’ve used a range of financing strategies over the years, and conventional and DSCR loans are only two of the options. There are many ways to structure financing for a successful purchase, and the right one depends on the deal and your goals.
When I work with investors, we look at the financing strategy together, along with cash flow, repairs, and tenants. I’m speaking from experience, not theory.

New Construction
I represent buyers purchasing new construction from builders like Toll Brothers, K. Hovnanian, and Pulte. A strong offer can do more than win the home.
I’ve helped clients secure builder credits toward owering their mortgage interest rate and covering closing costs, and negotiated upgrades in finishes and appliances. I can also help luxury custom builds reach the right buyers.

Serving the Law Enforcement Community
I’m proud to serve law enforcement officers and their families. I help with buying and selling, interest rates, and relocation decisions, and I explain the process in plain language.
My work is rooted in New Jersey. If an officer is relocating or buying out of state, such as Florida, I refer the family to trusted local real estate professionals and stay involved through the process.

I enjoy mentoring newer agents and helping them build their business with integrity.
