Personally, I would never work with Beccy Janis or recommend Beccy Janis to anyone. Upon initial meeting with Beccy she seemed to be knowledgeable, professional and have many connections in the Real Estate Industry. However, after working with her for only two days, we found her saying things that were not true. "I'm just taking these photos for reference, they won't be on the website." The very next day, those unprofessional photos were posted on all of our listings. Then, we asked for recommendations for handy men to help with some specific items. She said she would get back with us regarding some recommendations, she never got back with us. There were also a lot of items promised that she never fulfilled on. She also never discussed items that we needed to leave in the house upon closing. She just assumed that we knew, even though this was the first home we've sold. Overall, we are highly highly unsatisfied with our experience with Beccy and ask anyone who's considering her to do your research before signing on the dotted line. There are much more qualified Agents in the area that will be honest to you and no lie to you, as Beccy did numerous times to us. My recommendation, do your research before choosing an agent. Less

Beccy was helpful showing me homes in my price range and also recognized my budgetary constraints. She also developed a good feel for what types of homes would fit my needs. Recommended a very good home inspector also.

Our experience has been that Beccy Janis sincerely loves her job! The Traverse City area is her home and she proudly shows you all of its assets and beauty, and hopes that you appreciate it as much as she does. She answers calls and emails promptly and sets up appointments that work into your schedule. After you have met with Becky a few times, you think of her as a friend, because she is friendly, honest and completely approachable. We have debated relocating to the TC area and she has never given up on us, even though we seem to give up at times. While we have debated, she has sold our daughter and family a cottage on Duck Lake. They were so impressed that she sought out answers to numerous questions about the property and worked to get them the best buy possible. I would highly recommend Beccy to both buyers and sellers. She works for your best interest. Wanda Lord Less

Beccy was wonderful to work with. I received multiple recommendations to use her when selling our house, and I'm thrilled to say she met and exceeded all expectations. The thought of selling our house was extremely stressful for me, but Beccy really helped me relax. She pointed out exactly what was important for me to do to prepare the house for showing. She helped me make choices on what I needed to do and what I didn't need to, which saved money and still got our house "showing ready." She pushed to get the house on the market in time for a key showing weekend, which resulted in many, many showings. Beccy gave great advice on pricing. She knew her market well and she priced our house perfectly. We got our asking price for the house, even in a depressed housing market - even when houses around us were selling for less or just sitting on the market. When we negotiated with our buyers, Beccy was great. They put in a low offer to start with, and then countered when they found a slight issue with basement footings during their inspection. Both of these times I asked Beccy to give me her opinion on how we should proceed. She gave me her professional opinion and the wisdom of her experience. We took her advice both times and ended up with a great situation with our buyers. We helped a little with closing costs and got our asking price. Everything went smoothly for us. Beccy was an excellent negotiator and her experience in helping sellers (even first-time sellers like me) was very apparent. She made what was a nerve-wracking experience so much smoother. Our house sold after only days on the market! Thank you Beccy!!! Less

Becky showed us several condos in the Traverse City area that she thought we would like based on our interview with her prior to starting the searching process. She listened to our critique of the visited units and adjusted her choices until we found one that we liked. With her help we settled on an offering amount below the asking price and the owners accepted it. She then helped us through the closing process and we have been the owners of our condo for the last 5 years. I would not hesitate to use her services again, if we ever move again. Less

Our home was on the mkt w/another Realtor for 12+/- mos and went nowhere. We then hired Beccy and she did a complete review of the mkt, remarketed our home aggressively and it sold in 3+mos. Beccy's professionalism, attentiveness, availability was second to none. We would suggest her(and have) to anyone, anytime, and any price-level home. We would use her services again.

I also have used her as my Buyers Agent and she will not let her client make a wrong decision. She will point out good and bad features so that you are aware of any problems with a particular home.

Beccy handled our delicate situation with care and professionalism. She was determined to find something that fit our family, our budget and our limitations and she did! In fact, the house that we are happily living in is one that Beccy kept suggesting we look at, even though we didn't think we thought were not interested in it. We would, and have, happily recommend her.

Very professional, sold our house quickly after it sat stagnant on the market with a previous Realtor. As soon as we listed with her, our house started getting a steady stream of showings. She was always available via phone or email to answer any questions, and she continually pushed to get info from the buyer's agent and bank without needing any prodding from us.

Beccy is the most professional real estate agent that I have ever used. She is responsive, knowledgable, knows the market, and she is very enthusiastic. Beccy listed my home for $100,000 more than one of her competitors suggested that I list it for and ended up selling it for more than I would have asked for it myself. Obviously, I am very happy with Beccy and would recommend her highly. Coincidentally, I got her name as a referral from another Realtor who only works as a Buyer's agent. He used her to sell his house and found her equally competent, knowledgable and enthusiastic. Beccy gets results by doing what she says she will do. I couldn't ask for anything more. Less
