Janet Holt

Janet began her career with a degree in Interior Design in 1977. She became interested in the business aspects of real estate and went to law school, and in 1981 joined the Minneapolis law firm of Larkin, Hoffman, Daly, and Lindgren. There she represented such clients as Northwestern Banks (now Wells Fargo), the Minneapolis Park Board, and various commercial interests instrumental in the redevelopment of the Minneapolis riverfront. She began her own small practice after 2 years in order to spend more time with her children, and also became a real estate broker and began teaching at a local college. Janet spent 9 years teaching for ProSource, the Midwest’s largest real estate education firm, and was also a training manager for West Publishing, the world’s largest provider of computer-assisted legal research. In 1994 Janet came to Stafford and began teaching as an adjunct faculty member at Georgetown University, where she obtained an advanced degree and taught until 2006. She was also Associate Editor of TRIAL magazine in Georgetown but decided to give up the commute and focus on the real estate business in her own community. Janet has been married for 40 years to Dennis McEvoy. Dennis is a recently retired engineer who consulted on various construction projects around the country. Daughter Meg, 39, is a graduate of UVA and William & Mary Law who resides with her husband in Northern VA.

He resides with his wife in Richmond VA. Janet is an active member of the Greater Fredericksburg Area Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Women's Council of Realtors, and a past President of the Fredericksburg Area Chamber of Commerce Leadshare#1 group.

When she is not working, she loves puttering in the garden, sailing with Dennis on their boat "Silhouette," spending time with their two grandchildren, and traveling anywhere.
