Janice has been nothing but a joy to work with over these last several years, both buying and selling houses.

She was very attentive to our wants and needs, giving her absolute best effort throughout the entire process. Her insight on all things real estate is a true wealth of knowledge and was always on the money when making decisions that would ultimately be in our favor. Although I'm no longer in the area, I will continue to refer her to friends and family whenever the opportunity arises. She helped shaped our llives, both present and future, and if singing her praises is the least I can do, then I'll do so by shouting said accolades from the rooftops! Thank you, Janice. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family.

Thank you for attending our housewarming party!

We can never thank you enough for finding us such a wonderful home.

Anika and Pavan M.

Janice, you're the answer for a busy professional!

Being out of town as often as I am, I couldn't have done this without your amazing level of attention and willingness to help. I never hesitated to leave the house in your hands--and I always came back to great progress as we got the house ready for market. You provided more than I could have ever expected, and as you know, we got a great price in great time. Thanks again!

Janice is a simply amazing experienced professional.

The staging she performed enhanced the appearance of the property. She managed to present a contract that was better than I could have imagined. My entire experience was quick, seamless and totally smooth sailing. You can trust Janice implicitly to manage your sale or purchase!

This was part 2 of my 2022 trifecta of selling two house and buying one.

What a whirlwind that was only possible thanks to Janice. So far Janice managed a sale and purchase for me and we have one sale left. I implicitly trust having Janice in charge. I have never met a better prepared or more organized agent.

Harry L.

Janice is extremely knowledgeable and thorough.

She managed some extremely complicated transactions involving two other realtors. Overall she saved us over $65,000 that we may have forfeited without her.

Paul C.

Janice was great during my entire home buying experience.

She was very quick to schedule viewings of places I was interested in and was always well prepared with information about the property and the surrounding area. At every step of the process she was great at communicating, very clear about what the next steps were, and always offered great, objective advice and I never felt pressured at any point during my home buying experience.

Kristen T

I have worked with a total of three realtors in my life.

I have been amazed at how Janice Cairns has outshined all the others. I worked with her to both buy a house and sell a house. There were some very stressful times. Janice always kept her cool. Furthermore, her work ethic and dedication has been unmatched. When combined with her competent, shrewd negotiating and organizational skills. What you have is a realtor who knows the ins and outs of the field and has the ability to navigate with strategic skill. Janice is not afraid to get in the nitty gritty and even help out with needed touchups that her clients may have overlooked or otherwise be unable to accomplish. To anyone looking to buy or sell a house, I would strongly recommend Janice. She is superb. You will be in good hands.

Joseph F.

This was my third real estate transaction with Janice in 2022.

This journey included a sale in a booming market, a purchase in a slowing market and now a sale in a declining and challenging market fraught with rapidly rising interest rates. She has managed my current sale with a wonderful palate of ideas and a exquisite sense of timing for the market conditions. Janice mitigated my stress levels by controlling the process, the contractors, the house preparation and the resolution of the buyer's inspection report requests. She was totally vested in my success. Not only is she a smart, organized, experienced businesswomen but a wonderful person well.

Harry L.

Janice is the perfect balance of professional real estate expert and personable caring human.

She kept us informed every step of the way. This is our third transaction with Janice.

Melanie G.

Janice is the best!

She is so thoughtful and thorough and always looks out for your best interests. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor.

Amy M.

You were able to move us in the right direction!

Thank you for sharing your smarts, skills, patience and sense of humor with us!

Emily C.

I have worked with multiple realtors over the years.

Janice has been my best, by far. She continues to impress me with her soothing charisma and overall competence. (I am both buying and selling with her.) She is a shrewd yet kind negotiator. Her years of experience are evident. Her wise advice and general knowledge with things real estate related is valued greatly. Janice goes the extra mile helping out with both the big picture and the small important details. Simply put, I love my new house and I am not certain I would have won it without Janice’s strategy and skill.

Joseph F.

I've worked with Janice on three separate occasions; buying my first home, selling my first home, and buying my second home.

She is fantastic to work with and really tries to understand what you are looking for. She will not push you to do anything you are uncomfortable with, which is rare in a realtor. She has a great understanding of the competitive market and how to bid on houses - both houses I've bought were the one and only offer we made - in this latest case, we offered less money than competing offers but still provided a stronger bid. I will certainly work with Janice again and couldn't recommend her enough.

Keith M.

"Janice has been assisting my friends and family with real estate for years. This was my first experience with her after hearing nothing but fantastic stories about her and her work.Janice made us feel comfortable and confident with our first home buying experience. She was polite and ensured at every turn that we understood the process and guided us around any common pitfalls that new buyers might run into. She was very insightful during the entire process and I can’t recall how many times she would catch something that sounded or looked off and would immediately go to bat for us. For instance, there was one frustrating incident surrounding an employee of the builder on closing day that she managed to smooth over as professionally as could be. We were lucky to have her there. Quite frankly I couldn’t imagine buying a home without Janice as our agent. We wish her the very best!"

"Janice did an amazing job for us as we were looking for a new home! It took us 6 months to find THE house but Janice was incredibly patient and continued to send us option after option and even opened us up to new ideas. During the buying process, we ran into many obstacles with the house and seller. Janice dealt with every one of them and kept us updated along the way. She really went above and beyond! We like her so much that she is currently helping us sell our town home."

"I've worked with Janice to both Buy and Sell a townhouse in Centreville, VA. It was my first experience on both sides and Janice was there to guide me through every step. She was patient and listened to what I was looking for when buying. She even sold my house before it hit the market by being proactive and taking a look at comps and finding a family. I will be calling her again when I'm ready to buy again."

"Janice Cairns is a realtor whose success in selling my home in Arlington and finding me a wonderful new home in Fairfax City in 2018 evokes the characteristics I associate with a true professional.Over the past four decades, I have bought and sold eight homes, representing 15 real estate financial transactions. All transactions involved a realtor and most were helpful and friendly. Janice stands out among other realtors because of her in depth knowledge of every aspect of the residential real estate process. She is skilled and knowledgeable. Janice knew how to differentiate my home in Arlington from other properties on the market. She developed a price point that resulted in a quick sale and better than average gain. She did a phenomenal job of staging. Her keen eye for small and large staging details led to a rewarding experience. She kept every aspect of two transactions on schedule. Perhaps most of all, it was her character that left the strongest impression. I mean, purchasing a home is the biggest financial transactions we all make in our lifetime. You need to trust your realtor partner. Janice earned my trust. You will come to trust her as well because Janice is a "professional" realtor."

"Janice Cairns is truly a 5 star Realtor! We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an extremely knowledgeable and caring agent. We can’t “sing her praises” enough! Janice was very instrumental in the successful purchase of our new home in Leesburg, Virginia. Her expertise, advice and guidance enabled us to acquire our beautiful home while bidding against another perspective buyer. We appreciated Janice’s knowledge as well as her caring and calm demeanor. She inquired about property issues that hadn’t occurred to us. Janice was our son and daughter-in-law’s realtor as well. They competed against 8 other prospective buyers for the same home last spring. It is because of Janice’s astute skills and years of experience that they were able to buy the home they wanted. Our other son will soon be working with Janice to purchase a home. We have no doubt that they will be successful in finding the home of their dreams with Janice’s help. Our family would never consider working with any other Realtor and you shouldn’t either."

"With my odd schedule I have a certain insistence that things get done smoothly, correctly, on time and assertively - I couldn't be happier with how things worked out with Janice. She allowed me to move on to the details I needed to focus on in my life during the listing and sales process, freeing me from having to worry if things were being taken care of. If you need someone to shoulder the burden of the big stuff and still require that they posses an acute eye for the finest of details - you simply need to contact her. You'll be grateful that you did. Thank you for all the hard work J..."
