For Craig Croson, real estate is about much more than buying and selling homes. It’s about people, relationships, community, and helping others find a place where they can truly feel at home.

Craig and his wife, Janet, made the decision to move to Florida full-time in 2013, bringing with them their two grown children and a desire to embrace the Southwest Florida lifestyle they had grown to love. Over the years, they have called several communities in Englewood and Port Charlotte home, giving them a unique perspective on the area and the many different lifestyles it offers. Eventually, they found their place in the Riverwood community, where they are proud to call home.

Today, Craig and Janet are known as The Croson Team, serving buyers and sellers throughout Charlotte and Sarasota Counties. Their personal experience of living in different communities gives them something that can't be learned from a map—a genuine understanding of what it is like to live here.

Craig especially enjoys the lifestyle that makes Southwest Florida so special. Fitness is an important part of his life, and he enjoys staying active and making the most of Florida’s beautiful surroundings. Some of his favorite moments are spent at the beach with family, enjoying the sunshine, water, and time together. His faith is also an important part of who he is, and Craig values the opportunity to serve in his local church and give back to the community he calls home.

That same commitment to people carries over into his real estate career.

Craig and Janet specialize in helping clients discover the unique opportunities throughout Southwest Florida—from gated golf course communities and pool homes to waterfront properties and resort-style neighborhoods. Their knowledge of Riverwood is particularly valuable, including an understanding of the community's neighborhoods, amenities, market trends, and the pricing nuances that can make a significant difference when buying or selling.

But their expertise doesn't stop at Riverwood. Whether you're looking to purchase your first Florida home, sell an existing property, build a new home, invest in real estate, relocate to Southwest Florida, or find the perfect snowbird residence, Craig and Janet are ready to help guide you through the process.

One of the greatest strengths of The Croson Team is their local knowledge and strong referral network. Their experience with Southwest Florida developments, communities, builders, and real estate professionals allows them to connect clients with the resources they need while providing personalized guidance every step of the way.

For Craig, every client has a story, a reason for making a move, and a vision for what comes next. He believes the best real estate experience is one where clients feel informed, comfortable, and confident—not pressured.

Whether you're searching for a home near the golf course, a pool home for enjoying the Florida sunshine, a place close to the beach, or simply a community where you can begin your next chapter, Craig and Janet are ready to help.

Meet Janet Croson: Real Estate with Heart, Community & a Personal Touch

For Janet Croson, being a Realtor is about much more than helping people buy or sell a house—it’s about helping people find a place where they can truly feel at home.

Janet and her husband, Craig, made the decision to call Southwest Florida home full-time in 2013, bringing their two grown children along for the adventure. Over the years, they have lived in several communities throughout Englewood and Port Charlotte before discovering the Riverwood community, where they are proud to now call home.

Today, Janet and Craig—the Croson Team at Riverwood Realty—combine their love of Southwest Florida with their passion for helping others discover the lifestyle they’ve come to cherish.

Janet brings a warm, personal approach to real estate. She believes that getting to know her clients—their dreams, priorities, and what truly makes them happy—is just as important as knowing the local market. Whether someone is searching for a Florida retreat, relocating permanently, looking for a pool home, dreaming of a gated golf-course community, or preparing to sell, Janet strives to make the experience comfortable, informed, and enjoyable.

Away from real estate, Janet enjoys the simple things that make life special. She loves getting lost in a good book, spending quality time with family, discovering new restaurants, and serving in her church. These interests reflect the same qualities she brings to her business: curiosity, connection, generosity, and a genuine desire to serve others.

Living in Southwest Florida has also given Janet and Craig an intimate understanding of the communities they serve. Their experience extends throughout Charlotte and Sarasota Counties, with particular knowledge of gated golf communities, resort-style neighborhoods, pool homes, new developments, and the unique real estate market in Riverwood.

As members of the Riverwood community themselves, Janet and Craig understand that buying a home isn't simply about square footage, bedrooms, or a list price. It’s about finding the right lifestyle, neighborhood, amenities, and sense of community.

Their strong referral network, knowledge of Southwest Florida developments, and understanding of Riverwood’s pricing nuances allow them to provide clients with a personalized, guided experience from beginning to end.

For Janet, the greatest reward is seeing a client find the place where they can imagine making memories—whether that means enjoying a quiet morning with a cup of coffee, gathering around the pool with family and friends, discovering a favorite local restaurant, or simply feeling that wonderful sense of “We’re home.”

Janet Croson isn’t just helping people find Florida real estate. She’s helping people find their place in Southwest Florida.
