Professional, fun, and got the job done

Professional, fun, and got the job done

We couldn't recommend Dave & Leah highly enough! From the very first open home, their communication was consistent, clear, and reassuring we always knew exactly what was happening and never had to chase them for updates. Despite receiving an offer after the first week, they remained fully committed to seeing the process through properly, continuing to present the property brilliantly at every open home, private viewing and even securing a backup offer along the way. That kind of dedication really showed their professionalism. What made the whole experience stand out, though, was how enjoyable they made what can otherwise be a stressful process. We had a genuine laugh with Dave and Leah throughout, and that lightness made all the difference. Thank you team!

High recommendation. Michelles made the experience enjoyable.

I cannot recommend her highly enough. Buying a home can be incredibly stressful, but from the very beginning she made the entire experience feel manageable, positive and genuinely enjoyable. She was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and reassuring throughout the process. Her legal background was also a huge advantage, as she understood the finer details, explained everything clearly and made sure I felt confident and protected at every stage. Most importantly, she took so much of the pressure and stress away. She listened to what I wanted, found me the perfect home and guided me through every step with warmth, professionalism and genuine care. I am so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy a home.

Modern Style with Huge Character - Dave McCartney

Modern Style with Huge Character - Dave McCartney

Dave and his entire team have been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Selling a house can be daunting however team McCartney made it very easy. Realistic numbers and no “smoke and mirrors”. Dave and Leah’s analysis of the market was spot on so we knew what to expect when negotiating with potential buyers. The results speak for themselves - We were under contract within 3 weeks from listing. Dave and Leah didn’t stop working there, a second backup offer presented the following week which gave us certainty our home was sold. By this time we have been searching for our next home for a few months and it seemed all the best listings around Howick were listed with Team McCartney. Dave knew exactly what we were looking for and presented us with a shortlist of properties to suit along with insights on each home and surrounding areas. We fell in love with one and are now a week away from settling on our new home. Dave and Leah guided us through the process from door to door and put up with all our late night phone calls and silly questions. If you’re looking to sell or buy in East Auckland, you’d be stupid not to give Team McCartney a call.

Very professional, experienced and has great knowledge of the local market.

He gave us full explanation about the local market and showed us some recent cases. Kept on non-stop looking for buyers one after another sale agreement failed due to various reasons. He is a trustworthy person, very reliable.
