Reviews of Haro Group - Engel & Völkers Vancouver Island (Real Estate Agency)

Shane Moore

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Mike Janes. With this being our first time buying a new home and buying in general, we had a lot of questions (many of which were probably silly). He was responsive, professional, patient and respectful of that fact that we were new to all of this. Because of him, we found an amazing home and neighborhood to raise our child in, and my wife and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend going with Mike Janes if you're looking to sell or buy - you won't be disappointed!

These folks have been with me through my three year (!!) journey in buying a condo. They have been super responsive, professional, friendly, and are not afraid to stick their necks out for you. I'm so happy that I had their guidance through this entire process, and if I buy or sell in the future I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thank you!

Kaley did a superb job helping us find our home. Very happy with what we ended up purchasing. Neither of us had bought property before and so we both felt a bit lost going into it. Kaley really put us at ease by answering our questions and keeping everything on track. She was also able to steer us clear of some red flags. I would use Kaley again but I don't plan on moving for a very long time.

My experience working with the Haro Group, in particular Miss Walls, was exceptional from start to finish. I was nervous to feel pressure or that I would feel that I was wasting our realtors time as we were in no hurry to purchase and I tend to ask a lot of questions. I found an incredible patience and professionalism with Haro Group and when we did find the home we wanted to purchase we were walked through the process step by step. We have since referred Miss Walls on to other family members who share in our appreciation for her knowledge of real estate trends in Victoria. Thank you Haro Group!

Mike is a fantastic realtor who I would recommend to anyone. He made buying a home fun and stress-free, even in the midst of a pandemic. I never felt pressured to make a decision. He persuaded me to take my time until we found the perfect place, and now I love my new home. He is so diligent with his research that I felt totally comfortable making an unconditional offer, which I'm sure is why I got such a wonderful place at a great price. He was always there, even when I texted inane questions at 5 in the morning.

We had the pleasure of working with Mike Janes on our hunt for our first family home. At the time, the market was challenging for buyers as sales happened quickly and most homes sold over asking. Mike navigated the market like an expert, he was extremely knowledgeable and kind and was always available to show us properties with very short notice. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for at a fair price despite it being a “sellers market.” Mike also took the time to walk us through the purchase process in detail and even helped with looking into district regulations to ensure we got a property that would work for us. I would recommend Mike Janes without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I can’t speak highly enough about Mike at the Haro Group. I have sold and purchased multiple properties with Mike over the years and wouldn’t consider using anyone else. He is honest, helpful, and very knowledgeable - 5 stars!

Mike has helped us carry through 2 purchases and 1 sale and each time he has proven to be reliable, diligent and solution oriented. He has sound judgement and an in-depth understanding of the real estate market. We find it easy to lean on him while making important real estate decisions. While advising us, Mike has always ensured that the long-term safety and value of our investment is a significant contributing factor. We love that approach. We have also worked with Kaley and have always found her very energetic, prompt and professional.

What impressed us most about our experience with Kaley was her professionalism and her excellent follow up. My partner and I recently moved from Vancouver to Victoria and were so pleased to have her help finding our new home. She was extremely knowledgeable with the pre-buying process and the city of Victoria making the experience easy and stress free. Even after the purchase of our condo she still made herself available for questions and concerns. Thank you for the great experience Kaley and we will be recommending you to friends and family should they ever need a realtor in Victoria. Katie and Geoff

Thanks to Rodney, he helped me find exactly what I was looking for - for a GREAT deal. With expertise, professionalism and patience while house hunting during this covid market for the past year, he skillfully navigated me through many multiple offers, showings, highlighting places to consider and pointing out things that I wasn't aware of led me to THE BEST deal on the perfect property for me - without overpaying - which is rare in this market. A true partner you can count on, and a gem who always had my best interests at heart. To have Rodney by my side while buying, selling and investing in real estate is invaluable. Thank you!

Noelle Hagan

We've worked with Mike Janes on both buying and selling real estate in Victoria. He is great! Mike has that magic combination--knowledgeable yet very personable. We highly recommend him.

Emily Moore

We had a fantastic experience working with Mike Janes when buying our first home. He was professional but also really personable and patient with all our questions. Initially we were looking for a townhouse but he worked with us to refine our search so that ultimately we found an amazing detached home with a yard that we never thought we could afford! We were so grateful to Mike and the Engel and Volkers team. Finding a home can be stressful but they really helped us enjoy the experience.

My Ques

My experiences with Rodney Henderson over the past five years have been exceptional. During those years he continually assisted me in researching the market and making informed decisions with the purchase of two homes. I continue to work with him as we prepare for another purchase. His advice has been invaluable and he is always generous with his time. I have referred Rodney and the Haro group readily to anyone who has asked, and I am certain you’ll be happy with the result, whatever your him-buying needs are!

Mike Janes helped us buy our house in 2019. He did a great job guiding us through our journey. He listened to our needs and helped us truly understand what was important to us. He provided some great suggestions that led us to finding the home of our dreams. He was very responsive and always there for us. Highly recommend.

Andrew Gregg

My wife and I just worked with Mike Janes (for the second time) to purchase our new house. In an extremely difficult market, Mike and the group still managed to find us the perfect home for the best price. We definitely feel they are the most professional, knowledgeable, and organized group in Victoria. If you want an easy experience finding the perfect home, this is the group to choose.

Reference Letter Hello, Purchasing and selling real estate is a very big decision. Financially, it has been very good to us. When spending a large sum of money you need to make a solid decision based on many factors. It is very important to find a realtor who has his/her clients best interest in mind. Before meeting Rodney, we had used other Realtors in the past. We met Rodney at a couple open houses, years ago and it was immediately clear to us that he was on a different level than any other Realtor we had previously used. He is honest, educated, smart, respected by his peers and knows Real estate. We have bought 2 Condos and sold 2 Condos in Victoria with Rodney representing us as a Realtor. As parents we were happy our daughter also chose Rodney as a realtor and she has recently purchased a house in Saanich with Rodney's assistance. If you are thinking of buying and/or selling Real estate in the future, we strongly suggest you contact Rodney to discuss the Market. We guarentee you will not have any regrets. We had sent many emails regarding certain listings before we actually were ready to move forward on a purchase. We work hard for our money and we don't spend it without alot of thought and information. Perry and Susan Minaker
