Introducing

Jane Simonson

Owner/Licensee in Charge
Ray White New Plymouth

Proud owners of the 173rd Ray White office in New Zealand, Jane and Carey Simonson bring with them not only years of Real Estate experience, but an outstanding selling track record in the Taranaki region along with a strong family focus that make them the ideal choice when selling your home.

That experience and the support from the wider Ray White network has seen the Ray White New Plymouth office take an immediate place among the region’s market performers and it is not surprising when you realise the extensive combined experience between the team members.

Jane and Carey themselves are a couple with different, but complementary, skills and experience when it comes to the Real Estate Industry.

Jane has been involved in sales and marketing since leaving school, while Carey’s careers include survey draughting, construction, house building, and offshore surveying. 

Both of them place emphasis on always going the extra mile - whether it’s a lawn that needs mowing before an open home, cleaning a dirty deck or getting a fireplace going on a cold day when they have buyers coming to a property - nothing is too much trouble. 

Add to that their superb negotiating skills and the fact that they leave no stone unturned in finding the “right” (not necessarily the first) buyer for a home and it’s no wonder that vendors love working with Jane and Carey.

The amount of referrals that come in offer tangible proof of their dedication and accompanied by a superb team of like-minded sales people, admin and marketing staff, they ensure that EVERY client gets the VIP treatment and the best possible result - often far above the client’s expectations!

And that’s why “you shouldn’t hand your keys out to just anyone”…

Jane was lovely and easy to deal with. She had a good understanding of the market movements. In regard to room for any constructive criticism, it would have been nice to have one point of contact as speaking to Carey, Nikki and Jane caused some confusion and ended up with some misunderstandings e.g Carey turning up for a viewing that was unavailable through Nikki etc

From our first enquiry Jane and Carey were nothing but exceptionally helpful and went out of their way to ensure the transaction went as smoothly as possible. Excellent correspondence and communication and when we experienced some settlement day issues with the carrier employees, Carey was there to support and assist us which was appreciated. We would highly recommend Jane and Carey. Their friendly, professional service made the whole purchase process almost stress free.

Gary Mills

The team at Ray White New Plymouth headed by Jane and Carey Simonson have been a pleasure to deal with leading to the recent sale of my property. Their efforts resulted in significant numbers of potential buyers viewing the property and the weekly activity reports they produce keep the vendor fully informed as to the level of interest being generated throughout the marketing process. I would happily recommend anyone with a property for sale to contact Jane or Carey before making the all important decision of which agents to enlist in order to sell their property.

Jan and Brian Graham

WOW! Everything dropped into place for us really quickly on our recent purchase in Bell Block, thanks to the efficient and professional service provided to us. Carey and Jane offered expert advice prior to us viewing the property as both ourselves and the vendor were located out of town. Due to their efficiency and promptness in collating the purchase documentation and negotiations, we had the purchase agreement unconditional within six days. We found the whole process stress free and enjoyable, enhanced by Carey and Janes very friendly and welcoming demeanour. We would give them the highest recommendation.

Matt Rilkoff

Jane has a passion for real estate that shines through her enthusiasm and having Simon as a backup for the finer detail is a great combination.

Cheryl & Patrick Sole

Our family home for 25 years was our biggest asset and the auction was one of the most nerve racking things we have done but Jane helped settle the nerves and was professional throughout. Jane gave us good advice on marketing, presentation and photos/drone to promote the property. She gave us confidence in the selling process - always honest, kept us up to date with feedback from open homes and the current market.

Chris & Julie

Our purchase of 345 Mangorei Rd was actually done through Neville Lester one of the very dynamic team led by Jane Simonson.

Desiree & Tim

Only dealt with Jane from a purchasers point of view -however found her to be a very nice person.

Chris & Katherine

Totally unreliable and very concerned with the misleading comments made to before the sale as she had basically lied regarding certain parts of the house.

Madelon White

I wanted a fresh approach to “Real Estate” in the Inglewood area to sell my home. I wanted an agent who did not have a preconceived cap on the value of my home. I wanted an agent that would take my home to the market and let the market dictate what the home was worth. Ray White’s Jane Simonson used a professional photographer. She ensured the property was well presented both inside and out - attention to detail is her motto. Jane opened the home three times in the first week and worked her buyers to obtain an unconditional offer by the second weekend. The result is happy vendors, happy purchasers! A job well done. Engage Ray White to give you a new “fresh approach “for your sale.

Ali and Lance Girling-Butcher

I have nothing but praise for the staff at Ray White New Plymouth in the way they handled the recent sale of our heritage villa in the centre of the city. No effort was spared in assistance with preparing the house for sale, advertising it and escorting the many people who responded to those advertisements through for an inspection. On the advice of Jane and her team, we decided to sell the house by auction because it was an unusual building in unusual circumstances and we were not sure how else to attract the sort of buyer we wanted. It had been a wonderful family home and we wanted it to go to someone who would carry on this tradition. I was most impressed with the advice and briefing by the auctioneer prior to the auction. We were thoroughly questioned on expectations and were able to brief the auctioneer and we were so delighted with the number of people who turned up - and the fact we actually achieved a sale! Selling a house is not an easy thing and Jane and Carey made it so simple with the sympathy, intelligent listening, understanding, knowledge of the market and their whole general approach. It removed a lot of the stress and made it a far more rewarding experience.

Their honesty and commitment made the process easy for us and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or to engage them again.

I would have no hesitation in utilising them again for any future Real Estate requirements. Well done!

Colleen Deegan

Jane and Carey were highly motivated and positive throughout the whole sales process, offering advice on how to effectively market the property. Although issues with the house delayed an early sale they never gave up and remained consistently pro active with the sale.

Michelle Thompson

Both Jane and Carey dealt with me on a very personal but professional level. We cannot fault the service before and after the sale of my house. They went out of their way to support me. Nothing was a bother for them and I am most grateful. I would refer them to family and friends without hesitation. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Mark Garner and Inese Marsh

Carey and Jane Simonson helped us by being very open, calm and friendly in all our dealings with them. The result was that buying this house was considerably less stressful than other experiences. One thing I liked was their straightforward and genuine manner. It was always a pleasure dealing with Carey, be it in person or on the phone. One felt at ease, which is no mean feat when buying a house. I found the experience as smooth and stress-free as buying a house could be. I would recommend Carey and Jane to people who want to buy or sell property.

Marg Fairhurst

We were so impressed with Jane & Carey’s professionalism, friendliness & enthusiasm. Their knowledge, experience & honesty in the sale process was important to us as vendors. I would highly recommend them to family & friends.

Geoff & Barbara Miller

We were in a pressure situation having put an offer on a home without having ours ready for the market. However, Jane & Carey were more than up to the challenge of selling our place within a month. Working as a partnership they impressed us with their professionalism, optimism and integrity and it wasn’t long before we felt we were in the hands of trusted friends. If you are looking to sell your home or purchase another, we can in full confidence recommend Jane & Carey as professional, enthusiastic and fully committed agents. What an awesome team!

Lisa Corrigan

I was pleased to use the services of Jane & Carey Simonson recently when selling my house. Their understanding of the current property market, attention to detail and expertise was excellent.

Jane and Carey have been amazing to deal with during the sale of our property, from the get go they have been positive, supportive and made things easy for us.
