Linda was great to work with when buying our new home. Her experience really showed, and we appreciated her honest, no-nonsense approach. She’s a straight shooter and made the process feel clear and manageable throughout.

We had a truly wonderful selling experience with Helen – she has high integrity and went above and beyond to assist us throughout the process, also stepping in during the settlement period to help when an unexpected issue arose while we were out of town. Her communication was always excellent. If you are seeking a professional agent in the Devonport area, we would highly recommend her services.

We recently bought our new home and then sold with Howard & Ian from Bayleys, Devonport. The experience was outstanding from both a buyer and seller perspective. Everything was handled with professionalism and care. The sale achieved a great result in record time and the new purchase process was stress free. Highly recommend Howard for anyone buying or selling in Devonport.

Emma recently handled the sale of our property in Devonport and we could not be more pleased with the effort she put in, and the outcome. Our property needed work to be done to show off its true potential and we valued Emma’s advice on what steps to take to bring this about. She also assisted with staging and put together a comprehensive marketing plan which was effective in reaching the widest possible target audience. The photos and video were particularly effective and Emma’s personal role in the video undoubtedly helped when it came to showing off the property in the best possible light to out-of-town and overseas buyers. Emma also showed strong focus on following up potential bidders to ensure every question was answered, and legal or council issue resolved, in a timely manner so that by the time auction day arrived, there were no red flag issues to jeopardise a successful sale. On the day, we had six bidders and a sale price achieved ahead of our expectations. I would have no hesitation in engaging Emma to sell another property in the future.

Helen was great to deal with. We immediately warmed to her. We loved her frankness. She's the kind of person that never sugar coats anything. I found her realism refreshing to deal with on the sale of our house. She has a level head. She's pragmatic. She's also charming and calm. She's the antithesis of some agents we've dealt with over the years whose superficiality beggars belief. Helen is honest. She is real. But she exerts silky skills when it matters. When it came to the final negotiation with the buyers, she really impressed us. She got us the price we wanted. At the same time I think she seemed to get the buyers the price they wanted. She made both parties feel like they got a good deal. No mean feet!

We were lucky to have Lynda Betts marketing and selling our house under auction last month, as she knew the market very well and we could not fault her excellent communications and efficiency at all times throughout the process... we were very well informed as to the interest in our property and she showed very good positivity in everything she did! We thank her for making a difficult time as easy as it could be with a very good result and would not hesitate to recommend Lynda to anyone selling a house on the North Shore of Auckland.

We recently bought our new home and sold our previous one with Ian & Howard from Bayleys, Devonport. The experience was outstanding, everything was handled with expertise and care. The sale achieved a great result quickly and the new purchase process was stress free. Highly recommend for anyone buying or selling in Devonport.
Ian Cunliffe
When deciding to sell our home we interviewed potential Agents looking for a person we could trust, who understood the market and understood the potential buyers for a home such as ours. Ian impressed us with his knowledge of the area, understanding of the home and garden we were selling. He assisted with sourcing trades people to do the small things that needed attention around the home and garden. His communication was fabulous. He was patient with the market and with our expectations. He was endlessly positive. He found the right people to purchase our home and worked with them and us to accommodate settlement dates, and all the other little things required in the last flurry of a sale. We were very impressed. We can't speak highly enough of him.
Ian Cunliffe
Very pleased that we went with Ian to sell our property. He went above and beyond expectations to achieve a sale in a very difficult market, achieving our target sales price.

Lynda took an active interest in the preparation of our property for sale from the start of her agency. She even assisted with trips to charity shops. She also encouraged us to invest in the sale process including a broad marketing campaign, staging, site clean-up and clearing advice. Feedback from potential buyers in the lead up to auction however suggested that a much lower price would be achieved than was envisaged in the months beforehand. The final result however was much better than expected (by $300k). This, in addition to marketing and presentation of the property (per her advice), is also attributable to her hard work in on the open homes and follow-ups to bring multiple bidders to the auction. The dispensations given to the successful bidders for the auction (as negotiated by Lynda) kept them engaged and ultimately drove up the price. We placed our trust in Lynda that this would work out OK - and it did. Overall - Lynda was a pleasure to work with and she has done an excellent job for us.

We recently purchased a property at auction sight unseen, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of Emma Lynskey from Bayleys Real Estate. Emma’s professionalism, transparency, and deep knowledge of the market gave us the confidence to move forward with what could have been a daunting process. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision from afar. Thanks to Emma, the entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and ultimately a great success. We are also grateful to the Bayleys auction assistant team. Many thanks ! We highly recommend Emma Lynskey and the Bayleys team to anyone looking for a trustworthy and proactive real estate partner. — Linda Nel and Marc Nel

Linda was extremely knowledgeable about the local market, guiding us through the process of selling our current home and purchasing our new home. Our circumstances were unique, and she took this in her stride, all the while showing great care and warmth. We'd highly recommend Linda to anyone wanting some heart along with good real estate advice.
