After Janelle was raised in the beautiful Bay of Plenty she moved to Auckland after finishing at Tauranga Girl’s College to join the work force and to further her career. Janelle has vast experience in customer service after leading a team for an international appliance company.

Sales was the next step for Janelle when she became an Account Manager for a worldwide organization, she then developed a strong passion for creating relationships with her customers.

With Janelle’s adventurous personality she then joined the Superyacht industry as a Stewardess and Crew Chef where she travelled all over Europe, America and the Caribbean for eighteen months.

After returning home Janelle was excited to settle down in her home town and started a new role as Media Sales Consultant for the Bay of Plenty Times but missed the opportunity of building relationships with her customers.

Janelle is now thrilled to be starting her new career in Real Estate and is excited to be working alongside her mother Kay Ganley who has been in the industry for 14 years and is in the Top 20 Nationwide.
Together Janelle and Kay will provide their vendors and buyers the highest level of service helping the entire selling process to be a positive and smooth transaction – That is what “great service” is all about.

I genuinely care about people – and they know it. Approximately 16 years ago when I was at a crossroads not knowing what to do with my career, I was inspired to join the real estate industry and quickly fell in love. Coming from a background in public health and private business management & administration, I was no stranger to hard work and long hours. Real estate is my passion!! I have been fortunate to have worked alongside two major brands in the industry and have remained with the one brand - Ray White. I have almost come full circle – having sold real estate, owned and closed our own franchise and over the past two years enjoyed my role as a team leader to some amazing and talented salespeople Stepping up from sales into a management role has been one of my greatest achievements and I am continually striving to be one of the industries main leaders and role model.

The industry is constantly evolving and with that comes opportunity to continuously upskill and pass on what has been taught to allow agents to become the best versions of themselves. I love seeing new agents grow into successful salespeople and I absolutely thrive on guiding and assisting experienced salespeople in growing their existing business.

In 2020 I joined Crockford Real Estate and assisted the family transitioning from a well established Tauranga family-owned business to two new Ray White Offices taking on the Branch Manager role of both offices – the values of both the Ray White and Crockford families align – traditional with a modern edge – never losing sight of the present and future relationships - and they fit so well with me personally and professionally.
