As we are not based in Twizel, Jess kept us informed with the progress of the sale of our section throughout the process. She gave great, helpful advice and was always available for us to call her sometimes it had to be in the evening.

Soffe answered the phone promptly, fielded a myriad of questions, answered our questions comprehensively and read our reactions to her information accurately. Additionally, Soffe also met us at short notice whenever we asked.

Being local I feel makes a big difference. I have had a long and happy association with Karan and knew that she would be the person to sell my property. Her assistant, Soffe, is an asset to the business.

We first met Steve when he helped us purchase this property nearly six years ago, and we've appreciated his professional, diplomatic approach and valuable advice ever since. Choosing him to sell the property was an easy decision. Steve and his team were dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome, and we're very happy with the result. What really distinguishes Steve is that his service doesn't stop once the sale is complete. From our experience as both buyers and sellers, he continues to provide support long after settlement, thoughtfully mediating between buyer and seller where needed and helping ensure a smooth transition for everyone involved. Thank you for all your help and support over the years.
