We have been dealing with Linda for many years trying to find a house to fill our family needs . Through the highs and lows of the market trends she always listened with patience and care until she found the house of our dreams that ticked all the boxes . Now living in it – we still can’t believe how many of those boxes she ticked 😊 She helped navigate the sale of our existing home and made the whole process seamless . We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation

Great knowledge of the area!

Great knowledge of the area!

When it came to selling my home I had no hesitation in going with Sam. I'd seen him at open homes and around the neighbourhood and could see he was doing a lot of business in the area and knew his stuff. Actually going through the process with him I can see why he is successful, he created trust quickly and I felt like he had my best interests at the fore. Sam negotiated a great result and I was really happy with how everything turned out, much less stressful than I had anticipated at the start!

Great experience - will use again

We chose Sam to market our three newly completed houses and we could not be happier with the outcome. With three to sell, we wanted to be sure of the agent we chose and from initial meeting we knew that we had made the right choice. He presented us with a detailed plan of his strategy to gain the best result and followed that through from start to finish. We felt in the loop at all times and confident in making decisions with his feedback and knowledge of the market. We ended up selling before our deadline for a great price, something we were very glad of in this market. Thanks Sam for a great experience!

Throughout our interactions, I found Sam to possess an impressive level of market knowledge. They demonstrated a deep understanding of current trends and nuances within the real estate market, which was invaluable in guiding me through the selling process. Communication with Sam was consistently prompt and clear. They were readily available to address any questions or concerns I had, and they provided regular updates on the status of our transactions. I appreciated their proactive approach to keeping me informed every step of the way. In terms of professionalism, Sam exceeded my expectations. They conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism at all times, maintaining a courteous and respectful demeanor in their dealings with both myself and other parties involved in the process. Overall, my experience with Sam Bowen was extremely positive. Their market knowledge, communication skills, and professionalism contributed significantly to a smooth and successful transaction. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone in need of real estate services.

Better communication needed
about 2 years ago
Better communication needed

I had to request Sam share contract docs, he thought he'd shared them with us He didn't provide an update after the open homes. I had to follow him up each time We sold our house well under his estimate, he should have been more realistic When we sold our house there was no clear comm from him that the sale had been completed. I had to ask if the house is now sold. No congratulations message Unclear around the terms on the title - he said the house is unconditional but there's still the title condition which made it very confusing He got frustrated with us asking valid questions, felt like he was forcing the sale and not acting in our best interests. Felt like we were just another transaction and he was working for his benefit. Not a very positive experience and I would not recommend him to any friends

A true specialist in the Eastern Bays!

A true specialist in the Eastern Bays!

Having had our unique St Heliers property on the market with several notable agencies for some time, we were fortunate when a well-dressed gentleman strolled up “The Rise” to see us. A specialist in large land holdings in the Eastern Bays, Charles Benedict was confident he would be able to find us the right buyer. We were impressed from the start with his knowledge of the market, understanding of buyers’ needs and wishes, as well as those of the vendor, and with his obvious experience. And he succeeded, going the extra mile to achieve a sale for us in just over two months! On the personal side, he was always discreet, polite, respectful, professional, and very helpful in guiding us through the final negotiations. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Great support provided for sale of family home

We engaged Peter over the course of 15 months for the sale of our family home. We had delays and some unusual contract challenges on our side however Peter provided great support, communication and professionalism throughout. This included maintaining effective communication with me while I was based overseas. The marketing campaign proved successful in generating a lot of interest, resulting in several offers and a successful sale.

Linda Reid is fantastic to deal with. She’s knowledgeable, professional and personable and we knew instantly that she was the perfect agent to sell our home for us. Her networking delivered a great result and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Linda to our friends and family and to anyone wanting to sell their home. She’s more than fabulous!

A true real estate gem!

A true real estate gem!

We spent almost a year finding a home and out of the 20+ agents we dealt with in Auckland, Mary is by far the best. She is genuine, caring, honest and we felt like she had our interests at heart. Truly a refreshing difference from the typical Auckland agent. Great communication and even after the sale had gone thru still checks in to make sure we are satisfied. I would not think of using anyone else if I am needing an agent in the future.
