Born from immigrant parents, Janet Paredes knew of her parent’s struggles and wanted to make them proud. Getting accepted into UCLA and graduating with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and business was the beginning of her story. Upon graduation, Janet passionately dove into the mortgage industry and never looked back.
Today, with over 21 years’ experience in the real estate industry, Janet is a fully licensed real estate broker, NMLS licensed loan originator, branch owner of two locations, and seasoned flipper with a California General Contractors License. Her newest venture, Luna Staging and Design, helps realtors stage their listings to earn top dollar. Janet consistently closes over 150 loans a year all while buying, renovating, and selling her properties in her free time.
Janet most enjoys spending time with her fiancé and business partner, Robert Colangeli. She loves having a partner who supports her dreams and goals. Together, they search for investment, commercial, and residential properties and enjoy traveling to exotic locations to unwind. Janet’s biggest motivation in life is to care for her mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, along with her stepfather, her siblings, and four dogs. Understanding the sacrifice her parents endured to bring about so many amazing opportunities to her is what keeps Janet going. Her motto is “Never Stop Learning” and “Never Stop Dreaming.”
“Never let stereotypes limit what you can become. Let’s break through those paredes(walls) together!”
