Having worked with Nina as both purchaser and vendor we would not hesitate to recommend her. Nina’s experience in real estate shines through in every step - The administration and documentation required all handled very smoothly by David James, making these two a well-polished & exceptional team. Communication was always prompt, clear and friendly, and the whole process felt calm and very well managed.

The communications we had with Michelle throughout the purchase of the property was excellent. Her knowledge on the area was outstanding. We would not hesitate to contact Michelle again if needed.

Katy was the agent for a number of properties we were interested in. Katy was always happy to help with our many queries, was very patient, worked hard, and responded quickly and efficently. We were glad that she got the sale in the end. Well deserved.

Bruce was a good neighbour and friend to my mother. I decided to go with Bruce and the Bayleys team as I found him to be extremely professional, hard working and highly knowledgeable and experienced. Because I am from Hawkes Bay, Bruce called me one day and said he had some leftover paint from his house and would it be okay to paint the inside of the garage which he done a fabulous job. That is the type of guy he is. Thanks to Bruce and his team member Liz Woodall we managed to sell the house within 6 weeks being on the market. To the new owner you will love mums house as much as she did and have many happy years. It is a awesome place to live.

I recently sold my home in Nelson through Michelle, and I couldn’t have asked for better agent. Even though I was managing the sales remotely, she made the entire process smooth. Her professionalism,kindness and genuine attention made all the difference. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Nelson area

If I was ever to sell this home in The Wood that I've just made my own, through Michelle Sowman, I would ask her to be my sales agent. While real estate agents are, of course, working to get the best price for vendors, I found Michelle was sensitive to my personal situation and the hopes and plans I had, as someone buying 'solo' for the first time. I quickly fell for this wee corner of the city, and, to my delight, I've found myself surrounded by the good, old-fashioned care of great neighbours. Michelle certainly did her job, securing a price for these vendors that was well above the expected estimate. So, while I stretched my budget, the past three or four weeks here have shown me it has all been worth it. The Wood is Good - and Michelle's knowledge of this neighbourhood is excellent! Very happy!

We'd planned to 'interview' several agents when my mother decided to put her house on the market, including one that I thought my mother would eventually be best to go with. Then a friend suggested we talk to Michelle as well. We were instantly very impressed and decided she was the best. From the beginning, Michelle's down-to-earth tactful honesty, friendly approachability and professionalism made the selection of a marketing package, a sales strategy and how to best present the property, very straightforward and even logical. Then, when the house had only been on the market a short time and we got a very good offer, Michelle advised us on the how to negotiate a "best" price. Finally, she also made it easy to decide on dates for settlement and possession along with small details like what to do with the fridge and which potplants the buyer wanted (etc). In short, from beginning to end, Michelle made what could otherwise have been a very stressful experience into a straightforward almost rewarding challenge that both we as the vendors and also the buyers ultimately benefitted from.

I am sure Michelle had more than just us buying one of her listings, but it felt as we were the only one. As first home buyers we asked many questions, and never it felt that it ‘took too long’ to get an answer. Communication was clear, to the point and helpful. Michelle was flexible and accommodating. I will go as far to say that if we ever are to sell she will be my first contact to make.

Michelle was very approachable from the out-set and we were comfortable with the way she handled any queries we presented to her prior to an offer being made; and at the critical time from pre-settlement viewing until settlement. We could work with her again on any future purchases, or sales.
