We are extremely happy with the purchase of our new home for our daughters. Right from the initial contact our experience was positive with Steve. We appreciated Steve setting up a viewing time of the property ahead of the scheduled open home to accommodate our daughters' work commitments. We found Steve to be very authentic and easy to talk to, he genuinely listens and is not overbearing. Steve was prompt with communication and willing to go the extra mile to answer our questions regarding the property and the process, before and after going unconditional. Steve is professional and considerate of both the buyer and vendor. I would definitely recommend Steve Bill.

Steve Bill

From the first time we met Steve, we found him to be both professional and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble as he responded to our questions. He took the time to really listen to us, and he quickly understood our needs. Throughout the whole process, he kept in regular communication with us. Steve is an amazing and trustworthy seller advocate who worked hard to obtain the best outcome for us. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

To whom it may concern. My recent choice of Team Connie and Mel to market and sell my house was fully justified in the professional manner they operated in. I was kept in the loop throughout the process via ap site texts phone calls and emails. I recommend them to anyone seeking to sell or buy housing.

Team Connie & Mel

The customer service bar is set very high with Team Connie & Mel. There are a number of people behind the scenes working for the vendor. The team works in sync and all aspects of the process are covered professionally, respectfully and with a sense of humour.

It has been a real pleasure to again have Connie Cawood and her team take our lovely home through to the point of sale. They are very professional, caring and thorough. The photography of the home and the written comments were presented extremely well and this presentation attracted the prospects in a difficult market. As vendors, we had high expectations in a market that was producing sales below QV. However, after a full six week sales period, Team Connie brought a buyer who not only met our price but achieved a price over 8% above QV when other realities were not. As vendors, we had high expectations, and Team Connie meet these 100%. For this reason we would give Team Connie the highest possible commendation of 5 Star rating.

I could not speak highly enough of Fiona and her really industrious team of Sheree and Katrina. They were ever polite, interested, conscientious, sensible, cheerful, alacritous, and I noticed, last but not least, always greeted me with a comforting and welcoming smile. It is a worrying time selling your home; there is every reason to feel anxious about it, and you need to have confidence in those you have entrusted with your interests in that sale. I could not help but feel they had my best interests at heart, though I was too, always conscious that they must have been sorely burdened with the needs and demands of their many other clients. They are honest, sincere, candid and direct. I felt totally confident in my dealings with them. Perhaps most importantly, when you are selling your greatest asset, as I was, they always came across to me as consummately professional; exactly what an unknowledgeable ingenu like me, very much more than a little lost in the esoteric intrigue of property marketing, required. I would not hesitate for an instant to recommend Fiona, Sheree and Katrina to anyone who sought my advice on the matter. Fiona was recommended to me by close friends; they most certainly did not ‘steer me wrong’. How they always managed to stay so calm, always look so professionally well presented, and always answer my constant enquiries so patiently and speedily, will ever remain a mystery to me. They were, simply put, pretty amazing.

Fiona was great to deal with, she seems to know Havelock North better than any agent from my experiences.

Fiona Horne

Fiona is very experienced and she knows the market well. Fiona will always endeavour to get the best price for the vendor. We appreciated her honesty and open communication through the whole process.
