Janie Tuft is one of the most experienced and respected real estate professionals in the Moab area. With multiple decades in the local real estate business, she brings a depth of knowledge, steady judgment, and calm confidence that only long-term experience can provide.
Janie has lived in the Moab area since 1954 and knows the region first-hand — not just the properties, but the land, the history, and how this market truly works. Over the years, she has successfully negotiated transactions of all types for both buyers and sellers, from first homes to major investment properties.
Clients value Janie for her patience, integrity, and ability to listen. She takes the time needed to help clients find the right property, even if the process takes longer than expected. At the same time, she is a strong and effective negotiator who protects her clients’ interests while guiding them clearly from start to finish.
Janie holds her Broker’s license (earned in 1999) and has completed her GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) designation. She also brings more than 15 years of professional experience in mapping and surveying, giving her exceptional insight into land, boundaries, and the physical realities of property in southeastern Utah.
Giving back to the community has always been central to Janie’s life and career. She served nine years as a commissioner for the Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah and was instrumental in bringing affordable housing to Moab. Her community involvement has also included the Moab Rotary Club, Seekhaven Shelter, the Moab Museum, mentoring at the local elementary school, and leadership on the Moab Chamber of Commerce Board, where she served as President in 2000.
Janie currently serves on the Utah Association of Realtors Grievance Committee, a role she has held continuously since 1995, and is the education chairperson for the local MLS board, coordinating continuing education for area agents.
Outside of real estate, Janie enjoys time with her family, including her seven grandchildren. She loves music, walking, camping, hiking, fishing, and traveling — especially throughout southeastern Utah. While she enjoys exploring new places, returning home to Moab is always a joy. Janie feels fortunate to call this area home and loves helping others do the same.
