Let’s be real—real estate isn’t for the faint of heart.

I’m Janell McILwain, Associate Broker and Team Lead of The McILwain Group, and I help new and rising real estate agents turn uncertainty into confidence. With nearly two decades in the business, I’ve done the deals—but these days, my favorite wins come from mentoring agents as they find their voice, build their brand, and create careers they genuinely love.

I remember what those early days felt like—figuring out contracts, juggling a million tasks, and trying to look like I had it all together when I really just needed guidance. That’s exactly why I make it a point to support new agents. Whether you need help navigating a tough transaction, setting up systems that work, or simply someone to keep it real and walk alongside you—I’ve got you.

As a team lead, I’ve worked with agents at all stages, and I can tell you—watching someone grow from unsure to unstoppable never gets old.

If you’re ready to grow with a little more clarity, confidence, and community, I’d love to be part of your journey.

Let’s build something great, together.
