After Janice’s father passed away from ALS in 2015, she has been passionate about raising awareness about the disease. Not only does she raise awareness, she personally donates and hosts fundraisers to support the Emory ALS Research Center. Some of the biggest events (Celebrity Poker Night and the ALS Art Show) have both been held at her real estate office in Marietta. Since her father’s passing, she has raised and/or personally donated over 200,000 dollars to the Emory ALS Research Center!
In August of 2016, Janice and her husband purchased a Cobb County landmark, Hollycrest Hall, and converted it into a business office. The Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team isn’t just a business to her, it is a community center and she does all she can to provide for our community. Her office sits on the corner of a huge intersection, with over 60,000 cars passing daily. In addition to her fundraising and personal donations, she hosts many community events at this office. Some of these events include: First Responder/Military Appreciation Luncheon, Coffee with a Cop, Pictures with Santa, pet adoption events, art shows, women’s empowerment events and so many others throughout the year. Not only is her goal to raise money/awareness/hope for important local endeavors, but to bring our community together and she will always find ways to give back to her local community.
The Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team, with Keller Williams Atlanta North, consists of real estate professionals and a full-time administrative staff.

To bring it all full circle, Janice started a non-profit 501c3 charity, JO Gives, in 2016 and currently raises money for programs she is very passionate about. These programs are the Homeless Pets Foundation, Emory University, Chin Up Foundation, and Project Mexico.

She holds many events at her real estate office, such as poker nights, wine tastings, art shows, pet adoptions, low-cost vaccination clinics, and more to help pour into her charity.
