  • Without Janis’s superb initiative and follow through, my husband and I probably would not have been able to purchase the house we now love in Denver. Throughout the process, Janis showed exceptional judgment, valuable knowledge of houses and the Denver market, and excellent negotiating instincts. And on top of that, she is a wonderful person. You can’t go wrong working with Janis!

  • Buying a house in Denver can be a real challenge, because there are so few houses available. I decided to buy a new build home. Janis was on top of the building process, and she tracked the minutest details. She handled the design process with practiced skill, and I have a beautifully appointed home as a result. She was able to help me make all the design center decisions in a few hours.

  • We've worked with Janis to purchase two homes. From the moment we let her know we were thinking about moving, she kept us informed about the market. I don't know anyone that knows as much about the market or is better at predicting trends. Janis listens and offers timely advice and honest feedback. She's always friendly, but she's willing to fight to get you the best deal. I'm writing this review from the front porch of a home I thought I'd never be able to own. My family couldn't be happier, but if the time comes that we need to move again, Janis will be the first person I call.

  • Janis Carey just finished assisting us with the purchase of a new home in Denver, where the real estate market is red-hot and where sellers have great leverage. Janis, however, was superb when it came to helping us find and move through the process of purchasing a home that we love. This was the third time that my wife and I have purchased a home, and Janis was heads and shoulders above any other realtor we have ever worked with. Her negotiating skills are tremendous. At one point we almost lost the home that we wanted because of a competing offer. Without needing to increase our offer price, Janis was able to convince the sellers that we were the preferable buyers even though our competition was highly credible and was offering cash.

  • Janis was wonderful to work with. Buckle up because we have so much to say about how great she is! First, Janis has a sincere focus on getting to know your preferences. She was enthusiastic about going to a variety of showings with us, seeing and hearing our reactions, and using this information to better tailor our search. She was incredibly patient with us as we sometimes exhibited reactions that were inconsistent with our stated preferences, and she used her exceptional analytical abilities to guide us toward better understanding of what we were looking for.

  • I had an excellent time working with Janis. I highly recommend her and will certainly work with her again in the future. I was a first time home buyer in an extremely competitive sellers market. This meant that I needed a lot of guidance from Janis on how to move quickly but not foolishly. Janis was available to answer all of my questions and also pointed me to information for questions I didn't even know I should be asking. Janis worked closely with my lender and the seller's agent to make a competitive offer and to keep the entire closing process on track. I was able to buy the first home I made an offer on which was rare for that period in the market. In addition, Janis has a good eye for homes. She has a sense for what issues need to be fixed before buying and what issues can be remedied later. She also has good style and vision for what a home can be transformed into.
