She has been named a local real estate expert and has also been featured on the following: Wall Street Journal, 11 Alive News, WSBTV Channel 2, and Real Estate Radio Atlanta.
At age 29, she was selected by the National Association of Realtors as one of the ‘30 Under 30’ rising stars in the real estate industry. Janice has also served on various real estate panels across the state as a top producer and real estate expert. She has served on the Georgia Association of Realtors Grievance Panel since 2015.

After Janice’s father passed away from ALS in 2015, she has been passionate about raising awareness about the disease. Not only does she raise awareness, she hosts fundraisers and personally donates to support the Emory ALS Research Center. Some of the biggest events (Celebrity Poker Night and the ALS Art Show) have both been held at her real estate office in Marietta. Since her father’s passing, she has raised and/or personally donated over $$320,755.57 to the Emory ALS Research Center!
In August of 2016, Janice and her husband purchased a Cobb County landmark, Hollycrest Hall, and converted it into a business office. The Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team isn’t just a business to her, it is a community center and she does all she can to provide for our community. Her office sits on the corner of a huge intersection, with over 60,000 cars passing daily. In addition to her fundraising and personal donations, she hosts many community events at this office. Some of these events include: First Responder/Military Appreciation Luncheon, Coffee with a Cop, Pictures with Santa, pet adoption events, art shows, women’s empowerment events and so many others throughout the year. Not only is her goal to raise money/awareness/hope for important local endeavors, but to bring our community together. She will always find ways to give back to her local community.
The Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team, with Keller Williams Atlanta North, consists of real estate professionals and a full-time administrative staff. They have received many awards over the years, from local and national levels. There are too many awards to mention, but in 2018 and 2019, they were awarded the #1 Real Estate Team in Cobb County, GA by the Cobb Association of Realtors. Their expertise is in listing homes and getting them SOLD all while ensuring that the client has a five star experience. Janice and her husband are also avid house flippers and have been flourishing in the market since it tanked in 2007. Despite the economic downturn, their business continued to grow successfully and they have flipped over 120 houses to date!
To bring it all full circle, Janice started a non-profit 501c3 charity, JO Gives, in 2016 and currently raises money for programs she is very passionate about. These programs are the Homeless Pets Foundation,
Emory University, Chin Up Foundation, and Project Mexico. Project Mexico was a special initiative to spay
and neuter over 2,000 pets in Mexico for those that may not be able to afford to do so. Mexico has an overpopulation of animals and Janice made it her goal to help them out. By the beginning of May 2021, Project Mexico spayed and neutered 2,130 pets!
The thing that drives Janice the most is the ability to give back to the community she loves and adores so much, and with the help of JO Gives Inc. she’s able to do just that. She holds many events at her real estate office, such as poker nights, wine tastings, art shows, pet adoptions, low-cost vaccination clinics, and more to help pour into her foundation. As of spring 2023, JO Gives Inc. has raised over $408,116.30.
Janice and her family attend church at Mount Paran North. In Janice's spare time, her first priority is to spend time with her children. She loves to write, and is always exploring her passion for educating others on the plastic crisis that the world faces as well as climate change. The Overbeck family has a chicken farm and Janice finds great joy in caring for her chickens. She is also a Peloton fanatic.

What Our Clients Say
"I LOVED working with Stefanie Venable. This was my second time selling and building a new construction home with her as my agent and I had an absolute wonderful experience both times. She was always available to take my calls no matter the time of day. She helped me find the perfect home in a great location and made sure I got the best deal. Stefanie is simply AMAZING!!!!"
"Desiree went above and beyond to help us sell our home. She was patient and kind, explaining each step throughout the process. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable regarding the current real estate market. I would highly recommend Desiree to help you sell or buy a home."
"I had the pleasure working with Desiree to sell and buy our new dream home within the given time frame. She was very professional and reachable throughout the process and made our experience on both transactions go smooth and less stressful. Furthermore, she worked hard with seller’s agent to assure that we closed on the house we fell in love with."
"Valerie has been the consummate professional in assisting with the purchase of this property. Her knowledge of market dynamics, responsiveness to requests and purchase process were top notch. The home buying process can be quite stressful and during the times where we wanted to quit, her patience, understanding and empathy kept us in the game as we have finally been able to find the perfect home. We are excited about the upcoming closing and could not have done it without her. I highly recommend her and would use her again."
"Tanner was incredible throughout the entire process. As first time home buyers, he made the experience much smoother by being able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner! He went above and beyond to find us a home in our area of interest that had what we were looking for. He was extremely professional, showed up on time, and was always willing to help in any capacity. I would highly recommend!"
"Had a great experience with Lynne as a first-time home buyer! She is an excellent communicator and is very transparent. She stays on top of things as you make offers, and ensures the contract process moves forward without issue. I highly recommend Lynne as a buyer's agent!"
