With a keen business sense and a lifelong passion for design, Janine Fields has curated a career that was a natural progression of her favorite things!
Given her love of architecture and art – including oils, acrylics and watercolors, which she continues to enjoy as a hobby – Janine’s creative eye nudges her to see treasures in a prospective home that a buyer might miss. That knack for making perfect matches means she pairs individuals and families with that one sacred place they will call home – a retreat from the stresses of the outside world. And, as a fun incentive to waterfront home buyers, Janine offers the ultimate experience of looking at potential properties not only by car, but by boat, as well!
Originally from Grefrath, Germany, Janine, her husband, Jimmy, and their much-loved rescue dog, Milo, make their own home at Trilogy Lake Norman. There, they surround themselves with various indoor and outdoor activities – relishing a good book, admiring art and a few antique treasures, or simply taking in that fresh North Carolina air. In fact, Trilogy neighbors regularly see Janine out walking with Milo, enjoying the outdoors!
Janine is also known for working tirelessly with clients to help them find their own personal retreat – no matter what the location, making the entire process as smooth and personable as possible!
“Buying a new home is an emotional experience,” said Janine, adding that clients often turn into friends, which is a very lovely bonus. That special bond often leads to referrals of other friends and family members.
Janine goes beyond the role of a mere REALTOR® for her clients, thanks to her wealth of knowledge, unwavering integrity, deep commitment and friendly demeanor. Ranked among the top seven out of 274 agents at Southern Homes of the Carolinas, Janine made a successful transition from a 22-year career in business management to real estate. Her professional strengths shine through with an honest, hands-on approach, extending from the initial consultation to move-in or move-out day and beyond. Janine willingly assists with any moving chore, providing invaluable support that eases her clients’ experience.
From first-time home buyers and new construction to glorious waterfront homes, Janine is a master of creative solutions, no matter how large or small the issue.
“My end goal is to see everyone smiling – that smile when you know you’ve found the right home!” she said.
Always the consummate team player, working side-by-side with other agents and mortgage brokers gives Janine the opportunity to encourage her colleagues in their professional efforts as well, a trait she holds dear.
“I think we all need to be there for each other and support each other,” she said.
Co-worker, mentor and close friend Ed Sink shares why Janine’s commitment to her clients is stellar. “As a person and broker, Janine is highly motivated to achieve not only her personal goals, but will easily transfer her energy and motivation to ensure her customers achieve their goals and aspirations, as well. She manages her real estate business with a soft, yet firm hand, while providing solid advice and sharing her vision with her customers regarding their real estate needs,” said Ed.
You’ll find Janine’s clients feel the same way – with five-star reviews and firsthand experience to remember fondly!
“Janine came highly recommended to us and was truly amazing. From the moment she came to look at our home, she was a true professional, detail oriented and a master of her craft. She was on top of everything from start to finish. We had a worry-free, lightning fast sale of our home due to her diligence. I cannot thank her enough, and anyone considering selling their home, Janine is the best of the best!”

“From the get-go of our home buying experience, we were told our strenuous requirements and time frame were not possible, and I had talked to many agents. I was put in contact with Janine, and I explained our situation. Within a few hours, she had seven homes for us to view – one of those being our recent purchase. Without Janine, I believe we would still be searching. She went above and beyond to help us. She met every situation we found ourselves in throughout the process head-on. We will forever be grateful for her, and she will be the only REALTOR® we will use if the need ever arises again.”

“While writing a review of our experience working with Janine as our REALTOR®, we are pleased to have a chance to brag about her for sure. She has been great to work with, very knowledgeable and competent, and she made us feel she always had our best interests as her goal. It was nice to work with someone who also lives in the community and seems to be happy with her choice to live at Trilogy. Janine always made us feel comfortable and seemed willing to go the extra mile to take care of our concerns.”
