Alina and Her Team are Elite

Alina and Her Team are Elite

To be honest, by the time I handed the keys to Alina Yang, I was exhausted. I had already listed my property with three different agents over the past year, and after months of "waiting and seeing" with no results, I was starting to lose hope. Selling a brand-new build in this market is incredibly tough, especially when first-home buyers are spoiled for choice and every second house on the street is a new townhouse. From our very first meeting, Alina didn't give me the usual real estate fluff. She was direct. She pointed out exactly why the previous campaigns had failed and gave me a crystal-clear strategy on marketing and positioning. Her years of experience in the Auckland market really showed—she knew exactly who our buyer was and how to reach them. The difference in energy was night and day. Alina and her team didn't just "list" the property; they actively drove it. Even in a market where buyers have all the power, she managed to bring multiple offers to the table. She knows exactly how to handle the nerves of first-home buyers and how to negotiate them up to a price that actually makes sense for a vendor. If you’ve been sitting on the market feeling stuck, or if you're trying to move a new-build project that just isn't budging, Alina is the one you call. She turned my "last hope" into a done deal, and I couldn't be more relieved.

A Truly Honest Agent Who Not Only Met but Exceeded Every Expectation

Neil provided a refreshingly honest approach, setting clear and realistic expectations from the beginning—and then surpassing them. His strong grasp of the local market and his professional, steady guidance made the entire journey incredibly easy. We genuinely enjoyed the experience thanks to his insight and support.

The Team That Brought My Sale Back to Life

The Team That Brought My Sale Back to Life

I’m writing this because I was at the point of giving up. Over the past year, I had listed my property with three different agencies, and it was a total disaster. I had poured thousands of dollars into marketing with zero results, no decent offers, and a lot of broken promises. By the time I met Alina and her team, I was beyond frustrated—I was honestly hopeless. But from the moment they took over, the energy completely shifted. It was like they breathed new life into a "dead" listing. Alina didn't just recycle the old ads; her team came in with a fresh, high-impact marketing strategy that actually cut through the noise. Their presentation and the way they positioned the property made it look like a brand-new opportunity to the market. What impressed me most was their sheer proactivity. While previous agents just waited for the phone to ring, Alina’s team was out there actively hunting for buyers and driving interest. In the shortest time imaginable—and after months of failure with others—they secured a deal that finally met my requirements. If you’ve spent a fortune on advertising with no luck and feel like your property is "stale," do yourself a favor and call Alina. They are the specialists you need when you want a team that actually delivers instead of just making excuses. They truly brought my sale back to life!

Excellent communicator with a great balance of friendliness and professionalism

Sophie was great at communicating, honest and upfront. We could feel that she genuinely cared for us and wanted the best for us but at the same time made sure that we understood her position where she had to take the vendor's interest in to account as well as ours. Sophie was a pleasure to deal with, and was always ready to help in every way possible.

We found Stephen to be both personable and professional when he secured our new home for us in Orewa. He answered our questions quickly and accurately. Nothing seemed to be a problem. We would thoroughly recommend Stephen if you are buying or selling a property. Peter and Judy

An exceptionally professional agent

An exceptionally professional agent

Working with Alina Yang to sell my property was easily the best decision I made. From day one, the communication was spot on. I’m the type of person who likes to know what’s happening, and Alina never left me guessing. Whether it was a quick text after an open home or a detailed weekly report, I always felt like I was her top priority. What really impressed me, though, was her problem-solving. We hit a bit of a snag during the due diligence phase when a potential buyer raised some specific concerns about the property's boundary lines and some minor maintenance bits. Instead of just passing the problem to me, Alina jumped straight in. She coordinated with the right people to get the facts straight and sat down with the buyer to talk them through it calmly. She didn’t just "find" a buyer; she managed them. She handled the back-and-forth negotiations with total professionalism, eventually bringing in multiple offers that exceeded my expectations. Even through a tricky settlement, her and her staff were all over the details. If you want a team that actually rolls up their sleeves and gets the job done—while keeping you sane—Alina is the one.

Gemini said The Ultimate Team for New Builds: Alina and Kiny Delivered the Impossible!

Selling new-build townhouses in today’s market is notoriously difficult. With so much stock sitting on the market and buyers being incredibly picky, I knew I needed a team that could actually close, not just "show" the property. Alina Yang and Kiny Zhu did exactly that. What sets this team apart is their sheer intensity and communication. They didn't just wait for buyers to walk in; they hunted down leads and managed to sell a duplex for me when the market felt completely stagnant. The most impressive part was how they handled the "tough" buyers. As a developer, I know buyers can get really fixated on the smallest details or try to "nitpick" their way into a lower price. Alina and Kiny were absolute pros at problem-solving. Every time a buyer raised a concern or tried to push back on a technical detail, they were already ten steps ahead with a solution. They shielded me from the stress and handled the high-pressure negotiations with total grace. They have this unique ability to turn a skeptical buyer into a committed one. If you have a new development and you're worried about it sitting on the market, I cannot recommend Alina and Kiny enough. They are sharp, relentless, and they get the results that other agents simply can't in this climate.

Highly recommend Mehran and Geraldine

When we went through the process of selecting an agent there were many things that was important to us and we wanted to ensure that any agent we picked not only worked for us but were good with prospective buyers. Mehran and Geraldine made really good recommendations for presenting our house, had great marketing suggestions and even came and helped our stager with staging the house. Their communication was honest, straight forward and the service they provided was very professional. They worked with us for outside of open home viewings ensuring that we could meet the request and also cater for our elderly dog. The auction proved to be very successful and we sold the house in 9 days at a price that surprised us which reflects on the quality of the marketing campaign and the effort put in during the time the property was on the market. Would not hesitate to recommend them to any seller.

Professional and pleasant.

Stephen was very well mannered, presentable and pleasant to deal with. He worked well with ourselves and the vendor. Negotiated well and I think both parties were very happy with the price. He travelled across Auckland to meet with us personally on two occasions.

Amazing agent, outstanding results.

Amazing agent, outstanding results.

Raelene and Colin were absolutely amazing from start to finish. This was our first time selling a property in New Zealand, and we completely trusted their judgment every step of the way — which made the whole process so much easier and less stressful. Raelene’s knowledge and calm approach were a huge reassurance, especially when we hit a few bumps with our property title. She was always available to chat, pop by, or answer any questions, and we really appreciated the detailed feedback after every open home and private viewing. She also did a fantastic job keeping potential buyers engaged and informed throughout the campaign. Auction day felt daunting, but Raelene handled everything with confidence and calm, guiding us through a tricky bidding situation and helping us achieve the best possible outcome. We’re so grateful to Raelene and Colin, thank you again for all your hard work, support, and expertise. We really appreciate everything you’ve done for us and wouldn’t hesitate to work with you again! Highly recommended!!!
