We’re welcoming a new agent to the team, Jonna Janzen! We’re so happy she’s here! Let’s get to know her a bit more!
1. What made you want to get into real estate? And What is your role on the ABG Team?
I’ve wanted to be in real estate since I was in high school. Shamefully, it was HGTV. But… Since being in the business, I’ve learned it’s so much more than showing a person 3 houses and having them choose. I love the whole process of connecting with my clients and helping them in their Real Estate endeavors and dreams.
I’m a buying and selling agent for The Andy Blake Group.
2. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my three kiddos, Sam (8), Emelyn (6), and Juliana (almost 4). When I get free time from them, I enjoy going to the gym – not necessarily to be super competitive, but to have a chance to let off steam in a healthy way laughing with friends!
3. Why do you love Kansas City? And what are your favorite KC spots?
I’m still discovering what my favorite places and spaces are. I honestly enjoy driving around Leawood, Prairie Village, and older neighborhoods looking at the homes! I’m a Real Estate nerd!
Fun Fact: I was on the Wichita State Rowing Team. I also rowed two marathons!

THEIR MISSION:
To Radically Change the lives of drug addicts, alcoholics, and those that love them.
THE vision
A program in which 100% of their graduates are still sober for the rest of their lives, where they have homes all across the United States in which their graduates lead these programs and lead men/women to long-term sobriety each and every day.
Where their men/women have changed the face of recovery worldwide. Where each of their graduate’s stories has been told thousands of times, written about, and followed by other men/women like an instruction manual to radical life change.
The Hope is Alive Program is responsible for millions of months of sobriety, and thousands of lives saved. They will redefine the way people get and stay sober. They will radically change the way, on a basic level, humans interact with each other, always offering grace and kindness, but not backing down on holding others accountable.

There are many ways to get involved with HOPE IS ALIVE. There are volunteer opportunities, ways to adopt a house, and donation opportunities too.
