Janette is one of those people that make you wonder if they have more hours in the day than most everyone else. Not only is she a successful multi-million dollar sales producer providing great service to her clients, but she is a leader in the MCC Board of Realtors and our local community, and an emerging leader in real estate at the state level.
“Janette was a godsend to us for her guidance, timeliness, and instructions, or we wouldn’t have made it to the closing. Our house was nothing fancy, but it was OUR house and it was important to us. There were many ups and downs and there are truly not enough words to explain what she did for us,” states one of her clients. “I love real estate because no day is the same and every client is different, with different wants and needs,” Janette notes. Her desire to meet any challenge has led her to earn special designations and certificates from the National Association of Realtors such as the Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), At Home with Diversity, and Military Relocation Professional certificates. “I do love working with senior citizens in real estate and I have a strong pull to help with estates because they are at an end, and I believe it is one of the most emotional transactions we deal with,” she states.
“I love where I live, so it’s easy to market and sell properties here. Our community sells itself,” she adds. Janette has certainly been an active participant in making her community strong. She has served as Board Chair of the Murray-Calloway County Chamber of Commerce in 2020-2021 and served on the Board prior to that. She participated in the Leadership Murray Class of 2017-2018 and has been a Leadership Murray Coordinator from 2019 to the present. She has also been President and board member of the Calloway County Alumni & Associates of Calloway County Schools.
At the state level of Kentucky Realtors, Janette serves in many positions. She has just been elected KY Realtor Director at Large for the 2024-2026 term. Reflecting her commitment to ethics, she serves as a Professional Standards State Ombudsman and is on the state Professional Standards Committee. Janette was class president of the Leadership Kentucky Realtors’ Class of 2019 and has continued to work with the program since and will serve as the 2024 Chair of the KYR Leadership Academy. Janette’s focus on leadership programs in Murray and at the state level is because she believes in developing leaders for our local community and statewide.
At the local Realtor level, Janette has served on the MCC Board of Realtors and was President in 2020 and 2022. She was recognized as the Hoyt Roberts Award winner in 2019, which is given for significant service to the board during the first three years as a member.
Janette’s commitment to her own education and professional development is reflected in the other designations and certificates she has earned in addition to the three mentioned earlier. She is a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), which places her in the top 2% of Realtors nationwide, and has also earned her Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI). In addition, she has earned the Commitment to Excellence (C2EX) endorsement, which empowers Realtors to reach their highest levels of professionalism.
Janette’s current pastime activities include “whatever my son, Ryan, is doing, which currently involves a lot of Trap Shooting.” Ryan is a senior at Calloway County High School. Along with her husband, Jody, the HR Manager with Saputo Dairy Foods USA in Murray, the family loves boating and relaxing on Kentucky Lake, Janette is an active member of the Glendale Church of Christ. She also adds that she does love a good book.

Janette DeWitt is THE BEST!! It was our 1st time buying a home (in a crazy market may I add) and we needed someone who would be on their A game while advocating for us every step of the way. Janette went above and beyond to help us find an amazing home and get everything done RIGHT. She's a wealth of knowledge & would recommend her to everyone & use her services again.
Janette is awesome! She looked at houses with us all summer until we finally found our home.
I worked with Janette DeWitt with Kopperud Realty and was very pleased with my experience. Great communication and her local networking was a benefit to the deals that we worked together on. I appreciate her advice and experience and we will work together again in the future!
Janette was a fantastic partner with us through both the home-buying and selling process. She understood our family’s needs, answered all of our questions, and really helped to take a lot of stress out of the process. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in the area who’s in the market for a new home!
Janette is honest, kind and hardworking. I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.
Janette is a fantastic realtor! She knows all the ends and outs about her job. Janette started working with us in 2018 when we were living out of state and wanted to retire to KY. She found us our perfect dream home in 2021. We fall in love with our mini farm the first time we saw it. Janette is the type of person that goes the extra mile to make sure her clients are happy. There wasn't a time that we had a question that she didn't get right back to us with an answer. If you want a top notch realtor ask for Janette. If I wanted to sale our home tomorrow and buy another I would call Janette.
We had a great experience with Janette. What was so great? First, we weren't sure what we wanted to do, build or buy. She helped set up a meeting with a local builder after showing us those neighborhoods. This meeting wasn't something she needed to do and if we chose to build it wouldn't have benefited her one bit. Second, we relocated from a few states away not knowing the local area. She knows the local Murray market way more than anyone should and wasn't afraid to call other realtors who knew something about a specific property if she wasn't familiar with that listing. Last, after a long grueling day, we needed the humor she brought to the process. I appreciate that she didn't push, complain, or show the least bit of favoritism towards a home. She asked great questions, pointed out aspects to consider, and helped us through the process. In the end we made a new friend and yes if we move again she will definitely be our agent.
Janette DeWitt sold us two homes and sold one for us. She was able to make the purchase of one and sale of the other fall on the same day, which meant we went from one to the other without having to find an interim home. She made the process as stress free as imaginable. Not that I plan to sell or buy another home, I often recommend people to her because of how at-east we were during what can be a stressful exchange.
Janette Dewitt is amazing, I moved from the area and she helped me sell my home. She was able to assist in getting quotes. I am convinced she uses every contact she had to get things done in a timely manner for both the buyers and myself for a quick sale. Thank you Janette!
Selling a house is not for the faint at heart. We had never dealt with a realtor buying a house as we had done 3 private buys. This was our first time selling a home so this was all a new experience. I can guarantee that we would have not sold our house without Janette DeWitt with Kopperud Realty's help. This is a FACT! She was a godsend to us. If it wasn't for her guidance, her timelines, and her instructions we would have never made it to the closing. Our house was nothing fancy it wasn't a house that was going to sell for a high dollar amount but it was OUR house and it was important to us that it all went good and we were able to sell it. I don't feel like we were ever treated differently because we were selling a house that wasn't going to bring her a huge payout compared to many others that were on the market at the time. We were selling as is and with that brings some challenges. We dealt with each challenge as they occurred and she continued to encourage us through every challenge. I HIGHLY recommend Janette as a realtor!! There truly are not enough words to explain what she has done for us. There were so many ups and downs and then of course it had to be 100 degrees for at least the last month while we were trying to show it. Her famous words were we had to go through the bad to get to the good! She was so right! Thank you, thank you so much for all of your help!
Janette DeWitt was our realtor when we moved from out of state. We were here looking for a home for a very short period of time. Janette took the time to get to know us and what our needs and wants were and we were able to put in an offer, which was accepted, before we left. All paperwork was completed with us in another state. She also had information about banks, insurance agents and any other moving issue we might have. We continue to work with Janette even 3 years later as we are looking for something with a little bit on land. Her dedication to her clients are amazing and we would recommend her on any given day.
