Tirelessly professional, great communicator

There’s no doubt Janelle is a seasoned professional agent. She’s got great knowledge of the local Lifestyle market, she’s a great reader of people and she knows how to have those conversations that keep the transaction alive. We achieved an excellent result with Janelle and never had any doubt she’d get it across the line for us.

She came prepared

Janelle was given minimal notice for a listing appointment. She came prepared, knew her stuff and had a strategy in mind. No follow up appointments and meetings like the other agents I engaged. My property was on the market for only 4 days before she had a firm offer to present. Definitely recommend Janelle if you’re wanting hassle free sale of your home.

Professional and honest communicator

Carlene sold our lifestyle property in the Papamoa Hills by Auction in November 25. Carlene has a strong work ethic and is always contactable. She achieved a fantastic price for us on the day with a number of buyers in the room. She has a wealth of real estate experience and has expert knowledge of the Tauranga area and what’s going on with the market. An excellent communicator and in no way does she mislead you or get your hopes up with her potential buyer feedback. I would highly recommend Carlene for a no nonsense approach and someone who is very dedicated and passionate about selling real estate. Thank you.

Just kept at it

In a very hard sales market, Janelle didnt relent, she just kept at it. Janelle was certain we would get a sale eventually, even though we didnt quite get the price we had hoped but we had to sell & Janelle did her absolute best to bat for us and managed to land an acceptable offer. She also kept us well informed of progress, answered all my silly questions as though they were serious questions and managed us well through what could have been an even more stressful situation. No hesitation recommending Janelle as a leading agent.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. That was our experience with Janelle

When we decided to sell our investment property of twenty years while living at the other end of the country, Janelle came recommended as the agent with experience and knowledge of selling in the area. In a tricky market we followed her advice and adjusted to the feedback we got from buyers. Nothing was a problem for Janelle who kept the open homes moving along and when a sale was in sight she kept the place tidy for us, communicated well and got the job done. I highly recommend Janelle to anyone ready to meet the market and seriously looking for a result.

A true professional with a wealth of experience.

We were keen to meet with Janelle as we bought our home through her 10 years ago and saw that she is now part of the Barfoot & Thompson brand which we knew and trusted. Janelle came to our first meeting with all the information we needed to hear and gave us good advice to present our home in the best way for buyers. After only 3 weeks of open homes, Janelle bought us an acceptable offer. Thank you Janelle for your honesty and professionalism.

Great Communicator and sales person

Janelle was highly recommended from friends after she successfully sold their property. She did not disappoint. A delightful person, very professional and respectful of boundaries. Our late parents house was sold in 2 weeks after going on the market and very happy with the price.

Professional, honest and efficient

From the first meeting Annabel was always honest and professional. Annabel gave us a thorough appraisal of our property and we valued her professional opinion. Her communication throughout the selling process was excellent and the marketing was such that every open home was a busy one. We didn't expect to sell so quickly but we are happy with the result and have no hesitation in recommending Annabel to sell your property.

Kept on working

We probably couldn't have picked a worse market to sell in, but we were impressed with Janelle. We went with her when she changed agency as we were impressed with the way she kept on working seeking a buyer. While we got less than we had hoped for, Janelle worked hard to get us the best deal available in the difficult market. Thank you Janelle.
