Friendly and professional agent with great communication skills, motivated to help me reach my goals

I recently had the pleasure of working with Josh throughout the sale of my property, where he made what can be a stressful experience into a smooth and positive one. From my initial meeting with Josh he made me feel welcome and excited for the journey ahead. He had a very good understanding of the housing market and was able to explain it to me so that we could both come up with a game plan that suited. Throughout the process Josh was very sharp and timely at communicating every update big or small and every bit of new information so I was never left in the dark and was able to make decisions and adjustments when we needed too. Josh also had a great balance of professionalism and also being a very friendly and positive presence which was always welcome. Ultimately Josh helped me reach a deal through continuous negotiations which I was impressed with and got the sale over the line for an overall positive outcome.

Five star service, went above and beyond all the way.

Five star service, went above and beyond all the way.

Excellent communication throughout the entire process. Josh and Deb supported us by managing the sale of an estate property by going over and above their remit to ensure a successful end result. They organised everything needed to prepare for the house sale from cleaners, staging, gardeners etc, with minimal stress to us. Josh and Deb communicated fully with us as a family in NZ and overseas in different time zones. Josh and Deb maintained a professional approach at all times and answered any questions or queries promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Josh and Deb for marketing a property

Selling our section in Lyttelton with Alison Carter was a genuinely great experience.

Selling our section in Lyttelton with Alison Carter was a genuinely great experience.

Alison's experience and knowledge were invaluable. She was calm, honest, and the voice of reason throughout the whole process, giving us confidence every step of the way. Her advice was always thoughtful, and we felt she genuinely had our best interests at heart. Jo Hoogervorst brought great energy to the team, and together they complemented each other perfectly. Having them both at the auction was a real support. If you're looking for agents who are experienced, genuine, and keep you informed every step of the way, we'd highly recommend Alison and Jo. Thanks again for all your hard work!
