ZillowVERIFIEDIf Janene is anything it's responsive. She constantly kept on top of the things to do once we found our house and signed a contract. She was flexible through many days of walkthroughs while we searched for a property. And every step of the way she responded within 10minutes of a text of email.

ZillowVERIFIED Janene helped me find the perfect house in just one day! Not only that, but because I live out of state, she did all the leg work for the purchase of the home for me. She answered my questions truthfully, returned phone calls/text messages almost instantly (no matter the time of day or night) and got a reduced purchase price for me. I highly recommend her to ANYONE looking to buy or sell a home. Janene is just amazing!

ZillowVERIFIED Janene was referred to us from my husband's coworker and he had nothing but amazing things to say about Janene. We made a move from the west coast to the east coast and she made it so smooth and comfortable for us especially as first time home buyers.

ZillowVERIFIED Janene was absolutely amazing to work with. She helped our military family find a lot and a highly reputable builder in the local area to build our dream home. She was familiar with building processes, VA lending processes and was actively involved throughout our lengthy buying/building process. She facilitated us all the way to closing and continued to check in on us after. I would give her 6 stars if I could. If you want to work with a realtor that you can rely on to meet your needs pick Janene.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Janene to sell our townhome in October was an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, she demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping us achieve the best outcome. Janene is incredibly personable, timely, and organized, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. She patiently answered all our questions and guided us every step of the way, always making sure we were comfortable and informed. Thanks to her hard work, we sold our home quickly and for an impressive profit! We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Janene to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIED Janene was great. As I had never bought a home by myself she held my hand all the way. I had no idea what it would be like buying property in another state. She was in contact with be for any changes/updates etc. I never looked for a home on my own, but within 2 days she for exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend her to anyone looking for their own place. You can be sure if I or a friend needs a realtor in the future, it will be Janene!

ZillowVERIFIED Went through a very stressful out of state move this year. Janene was 100% on top of everything we needed. When she is working with you, you really are her top priority. Night time questions, weekend calls, or asking her to go virtually tour the same property for the third time ?? aEUR"her answer was yes. Highly recommend.

Review for Member: Janene Smith
ZillowVERIFIED Listed and closed in 49 days! In the last seven months we've had a number of ups and downs, preparing and planning to get our house on the market. Janene was remarkable with her prompt and clear communication. She was understanding of our needs and played a huge role in helping us get our house together. Being in California and selling a home in North Carolina, we thought we would be headed towards difficult waters, but no doubt when we thought we were in over our heads, Janene was there to assist and had all the answers we needed. No thanks to all of Janenes expertise and experience to guide us from start to finish. I know we had a million questions, but thanks to Janene's patience, we had a successful two weeks of showings and went under contract in no time! We are beyond thankful for Janene and all she has done for us. If you don't hire her, you're sorely missing out. Janene is definitely a master of her craft! Kristin and I would absolutely have her as our realtor again, and recommend her with the highest regard.

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot say enough positive things about Janene and the exceptional service she provided us over the past few years. In 2021, Janene guided us through the process of purchasing our first home with a level of professionalism and expertise that was truly remarkable. We were under a tight timeline because I am Active Duty and because of her deep knowledge of the market and keen eye for detail ensured that we found a home that checked off all our boxes while meeting those deadlines. Fast forward to 2024, when circumstances led us to sell that same home. Once again, Janene was our first and only choice. Her dedication to our needs, combined with her strategic approach to selling, resulted in a quick and seamless transaction. Janene went above and beyond to market our property effectively, leveraging her network and resources to attract the right buyers. Throughout both processes, Janene demonstrated unwavering commitment and integrity. She was always available to answer our questions, calm our concerns, and provide expert advice every step of the way. Her friendly demeanor and genuine care for her clients make her not just a top-notch realtor, but a trusted partner in the real estate journey. We are incredibly grateful for Janene's hard work and dedication in helping us navigate the complexities of buying and selling a home. If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in your best interests, look no further than Janene. She has our highest recommendation!

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot say enough about Janene. From the day we first spoke, over a year ago, to the day of our closing, she was right by our side. It is not easy navigating a move from one state to another, but with Janene's help and expertise, she made the process and transition so much easier. I genuinely cannot think of a time that we reached out to that she didn't either answer, or respond very quickly. If you want a realtor that is real, knowledgeable, honest and fun, then Janene is your person. I would recommend her to anyone! She is phenomenal and knows the industry.

ZillowVERIFIED I met Janene on the beach in September 2022 and asked her to help me find a house. I am currently stationed at Camp Lejeune for 4 years and grew tired of paying someone else's mortgage at various rentals and apartment complexes. Although the search took almost 10 months, we finally found the house I was searching for in the neighborhood I wanted to be in. Throughout the process, Janene taught me more than I ever thought I would know about buying a home and stuck by my side throughout the entire process, handling all the important business. Happy to say she is not only a great realtor but now a great friend. I would highly recommend Janene and her firm for your buying/selling needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Janene was outstanding in the journey of selling our house. She was highly recommended by a family member, and I have no regrets. From the moment we started the process I knew I could count on her as she caught things in our house that I didn't even know would be an issue for a sale. She was very responsive, and her expertise in the market and surrounding area was spot on. Highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIED Janene just helped us close on our first home and it was the very best homebuying experience I could have ever asked for. Janene was professional, prompt, and seemed to care just as much as we did about purchasing the right home. She was incredibly diligent, helpful, and kind, but above all she is an exceptionally talented real estate agent who makes things happen when no one else can. Her willingness to do whatever it took for us to find our home in a very competitive market is truly remarkable. She is an absolute must if you're looking to buy in the Onslow County and greater area.

ZillowVERIFIED This is the second home we have brought with Janene. Nine months ago she helped me buy an amazing home for my family. Now she has helped me purchase a home for my mother. Janene is amazing, dedicated, patience, hard working, and knowledgeable. I would recommend her to any friend or family wanting to buy in the area. Will be using her to purchase my third home.

ZillowVERIFIED First of all let me personally thank you so much for representing us in the sale of 507 Chadwick Shores dr. , Sneads Ferry NC. We couldn't have been more pleased by our association with you and the professional way you conducted yourself while working alongside us as we struggled through the ups and downs encountered. I consider your optimistic enthusiasm and experience to be the best we've ever encountered while working with any other real estate agent we've ever been associated. The energy that you exhibited while working with us was well beyond what was expected. During the time we were working together you were not only a great representative of the Oceanaire realty but we considered you a friend which we will never forget. We will do our best to encourage all our friends and family to support you in your future endeavors. You have taken a very difficult situation to say the least and turned it into a great success. Traveling in the middle of the night to gather a due diligence fee was really over the top. Again we are so pleased with your keeping us abreast of every little detail of this transaction. You were only a phone call away at any time of the day even while transporting your children to soccer games. We wish you and your family our best. God bless you sweet lady!

Throughout the looking process, we changed our minds several times, anywhere from location to the style of home we were looking for, and she was always ready to shift directions with whatever we wanted. Every time I messaged or called she replied in a few minutes ( and we messaged a lot)! I highly recommend Janene for any of your real estate needs. She is the BEST!

ZillowVERIFIED My desire was to find a home near my daughter and her family and I began looking online for homes in the area. Areas of interest included several different towns or cities and I thought to myself, "wouldn't it be nice to find a realtor that could help me with ANY of these locations?" Along came Janene Smith from The Oceanaire Realty (Coast). She was quickly able to assess what I wanted in a home and tailored my search accordingly. I was anxious about a real estate purchase in this strange, heated market but Janene understood how to work in this environment and guided me into a great home. I wholeheartedly recommend Janene to assist you with your next home purchase, she is professional, friendly, courteous, understanding and super quick on the returned calls!

ZillowVERIFIED Janene was so helpful to us since we had to manage everything on a virtual basis - 1900 miles away. Her willingness to keep communication and feedback going at all hours was superb.

We have already recommended her to many friends and family as the person to have in your corner. Thanks so much Janene!!

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot say enough wonderful things about Janene! Over a year ago, my husband and I called Janene (we knew each other through our kids) because she had a bold, confident personality and felt she would be a great agent. We are SO glad that we did!! Janene has been a wonderful partner, advisor, and friend - helping to guide us through multiple offers and get us to the closing table. She was always available to answer questions and hear our concerns (especially when I had to navigate working from home and all the different appointments and such). She couldnt have been more supportive!! We are grateful for you and your expertise! Thanks Janene!

ZillowVERIFIED Our agent Janene Smith went above and beyond to help us find and purchase our home in North Carolina. We moved to the state a few months ago and got extremely lucky to meet Janene and her team and let them do what they do best. From scheduling viewings on short notice, staying on top details, getting back to us in a quick manner every time we had a question all the way to the day of the closing. The amount of professionalism, experience and dedication from Janene and the Oceanaire Realty - Coast is second to none.

ZillowVERIFIED Janene was simply awesome. We called Janene once we knew we had to relocate with a short timeframe to do it. Janene was in our home the next day discussing all options, helping us understand the current market, and started lining up appointments. Throughout the entire process she kept us up to date, never hesitated to act on any request, and explained in detail anything we didnt understand. Janene literally took all the stress of a short fused relocation off our shoulders and aggressively handled the sale with ease so we could focus on finding our next home. Highly recommend Janene. You wont be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIED Janene Smith made the process not only smooth and straightforward but enjoyable. I was able to close early on my home with no snags and she made the process seamless despite the fact I was not in state for any part of the process. She was always prompt with responses and readily available for the countless questions I had and sacrificed her personal time and effort to assist with the property matters I couldnt complete in person. She kept me informed and of any changes and was the perfect coach for this first time home buyer. I will be recommending her to any and all service members I know in the area. A top notch professional!

ZillowVERIFIED Janene has been working with us for over a year. When I had a question she would say.....I am here when you need me. There was no pressure. When we said to pls help us look in Holly Ridge, She found a home and we put an offer on it the next day. The rest of the process was easy and quick. Lots of realtors blow off the final walk through. She stepped up and asked selling realtors all the questions we/ she had. Her customer service, the best.

We went in fully aware of what we were getting. We love her and highly recommend Janene to anyone moving to the area!!!

ZillowVERIFIED I am happy to have connected with Janene through my previous Real Estate Agent, Tanesha. Janene was very responsive. Although we went with a builder she was not familiar with, she stood by my side and supported me through some very tough moments. She encouraged me when I wanted to give up, and kept a positive attitude, from contract to closing.A She represented herself as more than a realtor to my family and I.A We were treated like family.A I am appreciative of everything Janene did to help us get to the closing table. My family and I were able to close on our first home because of her dedication to keep me on track. Words cannot express our gratitude.

ZillowVERIFIED Janene Smith from Oceanaire Realty is the best realtor my wife and I found down here when we moved to NC. She definitely stands out from other realtors in this area and elsewhere. If a problem affects you, it affects her and she will actually answer her phone and get back to you unlike a lot of others. She's never too busy too take time for you.She sold our house in a day with multiple offers and is currently helping to find my parents a house and she is ON IT. Janene has become a good friend and is just that friendly to deal with.If you want to look for a realtor, then you really can't go wrong by using Janene. She will make your experience enjoyable and easy
