We chose Ray White because they are strong brand and a reputable Real Estate company in the Bream Bay area. They have a strong team with excellent resources and back up. We appreciated the weekly updates and very impressed their communications. We were very happy in working with Hayden Jones and pleased with a successful outcome. Don & Elaine Mann
Eleven years ago, Janine showed me a section that inspired a vision. A month ago, after Janine showed 40+ people the fruits of our labours, new owners are now creating their own dream. When Janine first shared her proposed advertising heading, we knew she was the best choice for us and "got it". As we had already bought elsewhere, Janine skillfully devised a plan to meet the challenge of selling quickly. We entrusted our move in to Janine's expert care as authenticity and consistency are values we hold sacred. Janine's understanding of people makes for a buoyant force that is extraordinary and inherently comforting to give over to. Her presence and laugh is disarming and resets your mental state in an instant. Selling is tiring and quite a vulnerable time. Janine always knew when and how to reflect the purpose back to us to keep the much needed buoyancy aligned. Here we sit in our new home, reflecting on our whirlwind summer, deeply contented and grateful. We adore you and your team Janine, thank you a thousand, no a million, times!!
Janine recently sold my Bream Bay rental property. She is very approachable and offers common sense advice. She recognises that buying and selling a house can be stressful and emotional time therefore respects the clients pace. Janine and her team keep clients updated with progress and signs of interest. Quick to respond to emails and phone calls within reasonable timeframes. Professional signage outside home for sale. Regular Open Homes and prior notifications. Janine knows her community well and how the Bream Bay area markets heart beats. She sent through regular updates on number of website views and email enquiries of my property. Once my house sold, the lawyers and Janine worked easily together for smooth legal transactions and finalisation. Highly recommend.
Janine is down to earth, easy to deal with, reassuring, and always rings for updates. She is excellent, supportive and works outside the square. She gave discounts, high valuation, good selling price
Highly recommend Janine & Francie, who helped us purchase our home in NZ while we are living in Australia. Their communication has been outstanding, and they made the entire process stress-free and smooth. Thank you for all your help!
Hayden had to really show his talent when dealing with me as I tested his patience on our first meeting by being too late for the appointment Fortunately for both of us we came together again where he showed us the property we loved the way he marketed it right down to the easygoing nature he has combined with a professional passion to help without being forcefull in the negotiations Never judge a book by its cover or a man being late we bought the property and his advice and support along with lots of humour was always appreciated and he was available 24/7 I’m very happy that we had Hayden as our agent I still think of him as our agent for any future endeavours and I’ve made a great new friend I would recommend him for any business his local knowledge and contacts are fantastic He’s the type of sales person who is selling you your dream without having to try he has the ability to put you at ease
Janine was great to deal with from the beginning. Very personable and made the process fun, easy and simplified in amongst the house hunting and buying stress. Nothing was too much to ask or do. Thank you Jeanine, from the Hallidays
Can't speak highly enough of Janine and the team behind her at Bream Bay Realty. When we purchased our rental in 2020 we needed to find a trusted rental agency in the local area and this is when we were introduced to Janine and team. They found the best tenant for us which we really appreciated because after 5 years, we can honestly say the tenant was indeed exceptional! Now 5 years on, it's time to sell and again, Janine and the team have managed the whole sales process from start to finish. A successful sale was negotiated and I think both vendor and purchaser are walking away happy. Its been a great experience, start to finish and can't speak highly enough of Bream Bay Realty and of course Janine!!
Janine has a wealth of experience in the industry and it shows. She is down to earth and a pleasure to deal with. She executed the deal very efficiently under a tight deadline just before Christmas. We were very impressed. She welcomed us warmly into the area and was so helpful. Highly recommend her as an Agent.

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.

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.
