About Me
Full Agent Bio
Originally from Westchester County, NY, I attended Stony Brook University on Long Island where I completed my bachelor’s degree in Economics with a minor in Business.
I actually started in the real estate field quite by accident. I started working for a high-end developer on Long Island in 1988, showing the newly created summer vacation co-ops in Westhampton Beach, NY. I knew right away that the real estate field was a perfect fit for me. I quickly got my real estate license and worked for the next two years on that project until it was sold out. I transitioned to Manhattan where I specialized in the high-end rental market of the Upper West Side.
Several years later, in 2002, my family was relocated to Lakewood Ranch. My children were small, and I chose to work part time in both the insurance and financial fields. Returning to work full time in 2015 and to the real estate field that I love, I became a Realtor® and joined the leading brokerage on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Michael Saunders & Company.
Owning homes in both Lakewood Ranch and the West of Trail neighborhood of Sarasota, it has been such an unexpected gift to watch these communities grow and develop into the multi-dimensional neighborhoods they are today. They are a destination for so many families looking for that special new place to call home.
Dedicated to giving back to the community, I actively support Sarasota’s Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s and Michael Saunders & Company's MSC Foundation. I enjoy spending time with friends and family and planning "staycations" several times a year, one of the many perks of living in this fabulous area!

Testimonials
JJ is extremely professional, patient and thinks of everything. Not only did she find me the perfect home and location, she also goes above and beyond with helping with the transition into my new home. She is also a great negotiator. Recommend her very highly.
The sale of a home and moving out of state can be a very stressful experience--and in my case, it was especially difficult as I was doing it alone. I was leaving behind my husband with advanced dementia in a care home. This meant many stresses on several fronts. JJ was with me and beside me the entire time. I could have gone with any number of other agents--there are a few who live in my neighborhood, and some who approached me about listing with them. I never doubted my decision to have JJ as my agent. She kept me informed of everything I needed to know and did not bother me with the items she knew I didn't need to be bothered with. She monitored every open house, strategized as the market changed rapidly this past spring, and was always the optimist and the realist at the same time. Under her care, my home looked better than I could have made it myself. She has an eye for what will appeal to buyers and made sure my home reflected its best side. I would recommend Jennifer Williams to anyone who wants to have confidence in an agent who knows the business, understands the laws and the process
JJ was great from day one! Her local knowledge and experience definitely made it easy finding the perfect place and house. Thanks JJ
JJ, We truly cannot thank you enough for all the guidance, support, patience, flexibility, and love you have shown our family during the buying and sale process. You are truly a godsend and we are forever grateful for you!
JJ your a blessing to take the time out and go way over and above to help out in the decision process. All of the info you've been sending has helped immensely! You define every detail of the listings , area, & price point without me asking like you're a mind reader. Your videos are quick and informative to the point with great power points. Thanks for your patience. Best Anthony LaZar aka Tony. Lol.
