Real Estate in Retirement Is a Journey — and You Don’t Have to Do It Alone.

Buying or selling a home is more than just a move — it’s a major life transition.


Especially for seniors, it can feel overwhelming, emotional, and uncertain.

If you're looking to downsize, relocate, or transition into a 55+ community or assisted living, you may be feeling:


  • Unsure where to start or who to trust
  • Overwhelmed by repairs, showings, or packing
  • Stressed about finding honest, reliable help
  • Emotionally drained at the thought of letting go


That’s where I come in. As a certified SRES® (Senior Real Estate Specialist) Realtor®, I specialize in helping Seniors navigate these transitions with confidence and care.


From vetted movers, handymen, and liquidators to Senior Living Advisors and in-home care resources — I bring the right team to support every step of your journey.


Let’s make your next chapter smooth, supported, and full of peace. You’ve worked hard for this life — now let’s help you enjoy it.

Testimonials

Eileen, Florida First Time Home Buyer

"Jana helped us get a home when no other Realtor® could. As a millennial with a young family, Jana moved mountains to get us the right lender, approvals, and negotiated to get us everything we needed so we wouldn’t be taken advantage of as first-time homebuyers. I initially thought we’d be lucky to find a 3-bedroom, 2-bath under $400,000... Jana found us a 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 4,000 sq. ft. home for under $475,000. It’s our DREAM forever home. I cannot recommend Jana enough. She will find you the right home — no matter the odds." – Eileen P.

Janice, Senior Liaison

"Jana Schautz is the perfect combination of Realtor® and Advocate. When I refer her to my clients, I know that they will receive her dedication to selling their home quickly at the best price possible. If contractors are needed to address any home repairs, she has a list of trusted resources to ensure the homeowners are treated fairly and honestly.


Her ability to use social media sets her apart from others. I recently referred her to a family whose house was on the market for over 200 days without an offer. When Jana stepped in and did her magic, the house was under contract in 14 days. 


I am so glad to have such a trusted partnership to serve our seniors in central Florida."


- Janice Martin, CPRS
Owner of Senior Liaison of Central Florida Inc.

"I’ve had the privilege of knowing and admiring Jana Schautz for many years. Her dedication to helping others is unmatched, and she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout every step of the home buying or selling process. Jana is dependable, trustworthy, and incredibly knowledgeable. She takes the time to thoroughly educate her clients, empowering them to make the best decisions for their future. Giving 100% is simply who she is, and it shows in everything she does. I highly recommend Jana to anyone seeking a caring and committed real estate professional." -Edie Iles

"Jana helped us buy our first home in February 2025. Before working with her, we had no idea where to start or what to expect. Jana educated us on every aspect of the home-buying journey and went above and beyond for us in every way!

She was incredibly accommodating to our needs and patient with our timeline. When we found our dream home, she was on top of everything and fiercely advocated on our behalf.

Even now, months after our purchase, Jana still checks in to make sure we’re settling in and loving our new home. She truly cares about people, families, and helping them find the perfect property.

We feel eternally grateful that we chose her as our Realtor®!" - Josie
