Suzy was great with communication and came back to me with a true gauge of the leeston market... She helped out in every aspect including staging for photos. I had full trust in her advice. With weekly reports on marketing results and strategies to meet the market that worked for everyone. I praise her for her honesty and understanding through what would of be a very stressful period.. Buying or selling Suzy is the lady you want on the job

Suzy was amazing; being both out of NZ when I put my house on the market and a first home seller she guided me through the process, and truly went the extra mile from start to finish.

Above and beyond in every way

We had an exceptional experience working with Suzy throughout both the sale and purchase of our home. She truly goes above and beyond in every sense - nothing is ever too much trouble, and she isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and get stuck in with whatever needs doing to achieve the best result. Her honesty and integrity gave us complete confidence at every stage of the process, and her in-depth local knowledge was invaluable in guiding our decisions. Suzy is incredibly hardworking and we would highly recommend her.
