I originally emailed Daniel from overseas because I saw a listing he had that was identical to one I had seen earlier that suited me . I assumed I would not hear back from him as It was clear I wasn’t going to be buying soon. However he did respond and when I returned I wanted to just look to see if anything in Papamoa appealed to me before placing my house overseas on the market. I wasn’t really ready to buy but my daughter wanted to house hunt for fun and information . Daniel listened carefully and before we even looked he knew exactly what I needed. The result was - the first house we looked at was The One! So knowing that I was able to find a lovely choice I put my house on the market overseas , fronted up to the daunting experience of arranging buying at auction in N Z , all just as the Covid 19 hit. Needless to say the stress and complications of pulling all this together without a home office, no international travel and no international mail moving was horrific. I cannot say I am sure I did the right thing because I didn’t really understand currency exchange workings. No one knows what actually is the right thing to do at this weird time, However what I can say is Daniel’s attitude, upbeat personality and willingness to discuss the multiple pros and cons made it possible for me to move ahead . He was very kind and willing to find creative though time consuming ways to get the documents and paperwork printed, scanned and emailed to my attorney and financial advisor back and forth to the states. I am 73 , have been in N Z a great deal of the past 26 years and am a permanent resident here. I felt if didn’t make the leap now I certainly wouldn’t want to do it as more time passes, Daniel took the pressure off and made it fun and an adventure in a very ‘unfun’ season .
