Maria Janata
I can honestly say I love my job and have a deep passion for Real Estate. As a child my dream job was to become a real estate agent and I have been lucky enough to make that happen. I am married to a wonderful hard working man named Korey and we live west of West Point on a Farm with our daughters, Kyla & Aleea. I am a native of West Point and graduated from West Point Central Catholic High School. After High School I attended Northeast Community College where I earned a degree in Rural Agribanking. After graduating from college, I started working at a local bank while completing real estate classes through Randall School of Real Estate. In August of 2011, I earned my Real Estate Salesperson’s license and in October of 2012 earned my broker’s license. I have been so blessed to have the opportunity to working with so many buyers and sellers since receiving my license. I truly love my job and want every individual I work with to feel comfortable with their real estate buying and selling experience!

Joanna Covarrubias
I am originally from Gardena, Ca. I graduated in the summer of 2011 and moved to West Point NE right out of high school. Many people ask, “Why West Point?” Well, if you live in town, you know that’s an easy question to answer. The community and people are very welcoming to anyone new and I felt right
at home.
My parents have always instilled an appreciation for family, community, and being able to achieve any goal with hard work and dedication. Their love and guidance shaped by belief structure to set goals, work hard, be fair, honest, give back to the community, and live life to the fullest.
I’ve always wanted to be a part of something that made dreams come true; then realized one of peoples biggest dreams is owning a home. I set a goal on attaining my real estate license and now am fortunate enough to have one.
I strive to be a helpful person in this community and surrounding areas through the knowledge I’ve gained at VanEd school of Realty. I want to contribute to helping the diversity of this community grow by making it easier for people buying and selling homes.
