Janet’s connection to Austin began early and it’s only grown stronger over the years. Arriving just after high school, she built her life alongside a city that was still finding its footing. She’s watched Austin transform from a quiet, laid-back town into the vibrant, fast-growing city it is today, while still holding onto the sense of community and approachability that make it special.
That long-standing perspective gives Janet a deep appreciation for Austin’s many lifestyles. She understands that a home is more than an address; it’s where life unfolds. Whether you’re relocating, upsizing, downsizing, or simply ready for a change, Janet focuses on listening first and guiding second, ensuring each client feels informed, supported, and confident throughout the process.
Before entering real estate, Janet earned a Bachelor of Science in Education from The University of Texas and spent nearly two decades working in public service and the legal field. Her background includes time with the Texas Railroad Commission in the Oil & Gas Division and thirteen years as a legal assistant. This experience shaped her meticulous attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and calm, steady approach.
Janet lives in Northwest Hills and enjoys lap swimming, cooking, great movies, teaching herself to crochet, and participating in a book club with friends. She treasures time with family and friends and is a proud mom to her daughter, Julia.
Janet believes that finding the right home is a deeply personal journey. She is honored to walk alongside her clients during that process offering steady guidance, thoughtful advocacy, and care that extends well beyond the closing table.
Client Testimonials
“Wow! Lemme tell you about my experience with Janet Cloudt. It was amazing! She was so personable and knowledgeable and just downright kind. I feel so lucky that my client Angie Wolf gave me her info and told me that Janet was the absolute most honest and kind person not to mention agent. I can't imagine going through this process with anyone else. She was there every step of the way, not only did she get back to me super quickly when I had questions but would preemptively reach out. I felt so comfortable and confident in Janet that I purchased a home out of state and without ever seeing it in person. I can’t wait till we move out there and I can work with Janet again to buy our forever home.” — Karen W
