Can’t say a bad word. Easy as! Highly recommended.
Local knowledge and experience, very hard to beat...
This is our second house purchase with Janice and once again we received the best service you could get when selling and buying a property. We all know it can be a stressful time but Janice was always there to help us thru this with her knowledge of the process and of the region within she covers. It was a seamless sale and purchase all because of Janice's Knowledge and skills but mostly because here heart is in the right place , she genuinely wants the best for you .
Janice was very professional. She was always available to talk and assist with excellent advice. Her reassuring manner made a stressful process so much easier. I appreciated her patience and support.
Janice was absolutely fantastic every single step of the way. She was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, caring and went above and beyond many times throughout the process. I can’t speak highly enough of Janice and her manner and professionalism. We are very grateful to have had a seamless and stress free process thanks to Janice. Would absolutely recommend Janice to anyone looking for an Agent who genuinely cares about her clients and consistently goes the extra mile, and is the full package.
She did a great job.
Janice was always available and very supportive. When times were difficult Janice would be there to help and was positive and honest
Janice was there for us every step of the way and more than happy to answer any questions we had, no matter how small. She helped us get a good price for our first home. Would recommend anyone looking for someone to help them get into their first home, to pop in and see Janice.
Quick responses, clear communication Janice the potential for purchaser to go from rental to owner. Initially over valved property, would have liked to realise a bit more out of property but outcome was satisfactory in the timeframe.
Janice was very thorough and kept us informed through the whole purchase process. She has a great knowledge of the Kaikoura market, was helpful and we enjoyed working with her.

The RateMyAgent Experience
Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
