A positive, comforting, stress-free experience where I felt both my needs and wants were a priorityy

I can confidently say that as an older, independent first-home buyer, having Phillip support me through the purchase of my home far exceeded my expectations. ​Phil showed excellent communication skills with an empathy that reflected deep understanding, and an honesty that gave me complete confidence whenever I had a query or uncertainty. His background as an established professional builder gave me immense trust in his insights into every property I viewed with him. ​Any questions I had were answered in an objective, informative way that took into account my personal situation, my needs and wants, the practicality of what I was asking. He was able to give any potential outcomes—both seen and unseen that left me feeling completely confident in all my decisions. ​His knowledge on the administrative side when I was dealing with the legal, insurance, and any bank issues that could arise plus his above mentioned expertise, helped me finalize the biggest purchase of my life, which I'm eternally grateful.

As buyers, we found Elissa to be professional, honest and had great communication. The thoughtful gifts and card on settlement day was a lovely surprise.

Positive reviews are often over inflated, vague and don’t adequately provide the sort of real feedback that assist people when deciding whether or not they’ll act on the information contained therein. I hope this review is different because if all real-estate agents were as diligent, conscientious, honest and straightforward as Elissa Fisher the entire industry would be better for it. From our very first phone meeting I was gauged for my expectations and then sagely counseled with a balanced opinion on the market without any embellishment or fanfare. The final result matched that first discussion. Elissa picked up the ball that had been dropped horrendously by my previous agent and tirelessly worked to achieve a result at the upper end of my expectations. I was promptly informed of every relevant detail that I needed to be kept abreast of throughout and was provided with direct guidance when decision making was required and asked for. Elissa worked multiple options in parallel, never backing off with complacency and when Plan A fell over she simply enacted Plan B immediately, allowing complete continuity of process. Elissa was friendly, genuine, knowledgeable and simply a delight to deal with from the beginning to the very end and I could not recommend her more highly to anyone needing to either buy or sell a property.

The Best REA

Shanthi has provided us with such wonderful service and has always been professional, helpful, patient, and so easy to communicate with. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and care she put into making the entire experience as smooth and positive as possible. Her guidance and support meant so much to us, especially as first-home buyers, and we’re incredibly grateful to have had her as our real estate agent. We would highly recommend Shanthi to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She genuinely went above and beyond throughout the entire process, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide and support us on our journey to finding our first home.

Excellent communication and with us every step of the way.

Selling in this market? Trust Qiao and Leo. We were very unsure about the process going in, having heard how difficult selling was going to be in this market. Qiao and Leo were the best from start to finish. They always had time for us and were with us every step of the way, answering questions and keeping us informed. Thanks to their hard work, our house went unconditional within four weeks — something we were told was practically unheard of right now. We highly rate Qiao and Leo, and you honestly can’t go wrong with them. Highly recommended!

Elissa’s experience and knowledge guided us throughout the whole process, with a great outcome.

We knew that we needed an agent with local knowledge, a good track record and great communication skills. For us, being first time sellers, Elissa ticked all the boxes. She answered all our questions honestly and at any time of the day. Any problems along the way were resolved quickly due to Elissa’s experience and professionalism. We have no hesitation in recommending Elissa to anyone looking at selling their home.

Backed her instincts and delivered a better result than expected

Backed her instincts and delivered a better result than expected

I had actually met Elissa when she was the selling agent on another property, I was assisting a first home buyer with the purchase and met her during the viewing process, and then through the negotiation process itself, I was really taken by how good she was with the buyer I was helping and how while working for her vendor, she was doing everything she could to also help the purchaser. I told myself when I sold in the future I'd use her without going to anyone else. Been a guy, and not a designer, I sought her advice on what should be done to present the house and what should be done differently, she was completely right. She also arranged the staging for me and I let her have full control over all of that and I couldn't have been happier with the result. The sales campaign went extremely well despite the tough market, she fought tooth and nail to get me the best result while also helping the new buyer get the best they could from the deal. The end result was a result I'd hoped for, and a buyer who genuinely loves the house.. I'll use her again when I sell, and I'll recommend her to people I know

Another amazing result with Elissa

Another amazing result with Elissa

This is our second time working with Elissa on the sale of a property in Te Atatu Peninsula, and once again it’s been a fantastic experience with exceptional results. Thanks to Elissa we’ve sold two properties this year, in a tough market, within three weeks of listing. Elissa is so knowledgeable, professional and has an incredible understanding of the local market. She makes the process straightforward, is reliable, trustworthy, and overall just really really good at what she does! If you’re looking for an honest agent who will go above and beyond to get you a great result, Elissa is the one.
