Our Story

Back in the 1980's, Janet Loveland and Sue Carr migrated from Louisiana and New York respectively to raise their families in the "coolest" neighborhood in LA. After several years of community involvement, each chose to build a career in real estate serving in the local neighborhood they knew and loved. Today, their 49+ years in the business almost equals their ages. Their daughters, Anne and Courtney, made the wise decision to join the "Family Business" in January 2005. Having literally "grown up" in the world of real estate, Anne Loveland and Courtney Carr-Macker have watched their mothers in action for decades, a fact which translates into a "leg up" on the competition among other new agents. Janet and Sue may have many years of experience, but the daughters have been paying attention and taking notes! Anne and Courtney bring their skills, energy, enthusiasm and love of their "home town" to the family business and to you!

Janet Loveland

Janet brings a wealth of experience to each new client having closed hundreds of transactions over the last 25 years. She has also gained valuable hands-on experience while restoring the six homes she's owned in the past twenty five years. Not only does she live to tell these stories with a healthy sense of humor, she has a long list of trusted service professionals that can help make your house a home. Janet's degree in home economics has greatly benefited her clients in all aspects of prepping, preparing and marketing a home. Her historical perspective of architecture coupled with her background as an interior designer make her an invaluable consultant in the "mental remodeling" that happens before a sale. Since Janet knows the intricacies of what it takes to remodel and properly maintain a home, her approach to pricing and promoting your house will be different and more thorough than the typical agent. Janet has been a resident of Windsor Square for 25 years. Her local community leadership and involvement remain strong. When she is not running 100 miles an hour, she can usually be found singing gospel tunes with her choir or cooking for the next broker's open house or party at her home.
