WE MAKE THE MOVE.
Because I don't believe in collecting contacts.

I BELIEVE IN WHAT'S NEXT.

START WITH YOUR BROKER, JANA.
Recovery & Re-entry is reconstructing your life
I Don’t Just Know the System. I’ve Had to Navigate It.
There’s a difference between knowing resources exist and knowing how to actually access them.
I know that difference firsthand.
I’ve experienced recovery from multiple sides—as a former Al-Anon wife, through my own short chapter with substance abuse, and most significantly, as someone who served time in federal prison and had to rebuild her life afterward.
What I discovered was surprising:
There are incredible resources available to help people rebuild.
The problem is, nobody gives you the map.
Coming home means figuring out housing, employment, education, treatment, healthcare, government programs, family, finances, and a hundred other things—often while you're still trying to figure out what comes next.
That's where I come in.
I became the resource broker I wish I had.
Through my own experience and professional relationships, I’ve built access points to an incredible network of
- Case managers
- Probation and Parole Departments
- Correction Office
- Department of Labor
- Supportive Housing Association
- Government officials
- Universities
- Clinicians
- Food banks
- Housing authorities
- Shelter programs
- Recovery professionals
- Community organizations.
I’ve partnered in and now fully operating sober living homes in New Jersey, giving me firsthand experience at the intersection of recovery, housing, and real estate.
Because recovery doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Housing matters. Community matters. Opportunity matters.
RE-ENTRY IS MORE THAN COMING HOME.
It’s rebuilding a life.
It’s finding housing.
Finding work.
Reconnecting with family.
Navigating government systems.
Maintaining recovery.
Finding purpose.
And figuring out how to become the person you know you can be.
I believe successful re-entry requires more than telling someone to “do better.”
Give people resources.
Give people access.
Give people a legitimate pathway forward.
Because if we expect people to successfully return to society, we have to give them something meaningful to return to.
A home.
A job.
An education.
A community.
A purpose.
A chance.
THAT’S WHY I BROKER ACCESS.
I'm not here to tell you to “Google it.”
I'm here to help you figure out who to call, where to go, and what conversation needs to happen next.
Need recovery support? Let's identify the right resources.
Need housing? Let's find the appropriate programs and providers.
Need food, education, employment, or community support? Let's find the people who can help.
Need re-entry resources?

That's the advantage of Your Broker Yana™.
My past gave me perspective.
My relationships give me access.

You just need to know who can help you find the right one.
That's Your Broker Yana™.

TALK TO ME ABOUT: REAL ESTATE -
Because property is only the asset. The opportunity is what you do with it.
Real estate gets marketed as square footage, cap rates, listings, contracts, and closing tables.
I see something bigger.
I see access.
- Access to property.
- Access to capital conversations.
- Access to developers.
- Access to lenders.
- Access to investors.
- Access to professionals.
Access to opportunities that aren't always sitting on the front page of the internet waiting for someone to click “Buy.” Because real estate isn't just about what's for sale. It's about understanding:
- What's available?
- Who's buying?
- Who's funding?
- Who's building?
- Who's selling?
- Who's looking for a partner?
- Who has the property?
- Who has the capital?
And perhaps most importantly—who needs to meet whom?
That's where I broker.
My focus extends beyond traditional residential real estate into opportunities involving commercial real estate, development projects, hotels, small-business development, surplus-fund matters, and funding conversations.
A building isn't just a building.
It can be a business.
A hotel can be an investment.
A vacant property can be a development opportunity.
A small business can become an institution.
And sometimes a financial opportunity is sitting inside a process that most people don't even know exists.
The opportunity isn't always obvious.
Sometimes you need someone who knows where to look.
My role is to help identify potential opportunities and connect people with the appropriate licensed professionals, funding sources, investors, lenders, attorneys, real estate professionals, developers, and other specialists needed to move a legitimate transaction forward.
I don't promise magic.
I broker access.
I don't sell dreams.
I look for the people who can help turn viable ideas into viable conversations.
I want to understand what you're trying to accomplish, identify what you're missing, and help determine who needs to be at the table.
Because sometimes the difference between:
“I have an idea.”
and
“I'm building something.”
is one conversation.
REAL ESTATE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO THINK BIG.
Maybe you're looking for a property.
Maybe you're trying to develop one.
Maybe you're sitting on an opportunity and don't know what to do with it.
Maybe you're building a hotel.
Maybe you're expanding a small business.
Maybe you're looking for commercial financing.
Maybe you're trying to understand whether there is a surplus-fund opportunity worth pursuing.
Maybe you have capital.
Maybe you need capital.
Maybe you have the property.
Maybe someone else has the money.
Maybe someone else has the expertise.
Good.
That's exactly why relationships matter.
Because the real estate world doesn't run on property alone.
It runs on people.
And I happen to like people.
Especially the ones who return phone calls.
