Exceptional Real Estate Expertise

I recently worked with Jev and Matt to sell my home in Hobsonville Point, and the experience was consistently excellent. They were quick to reply to every message, often within minutes, which made the entire process smooth and efficient. Their approach was highly analytical, backed by sound statistics and clear market data. Every recommendation — from pricing strategy to timing — was supported with evidence, giving me confidence in each decision. The appraisal of my home was thorough, well‑reasoned, and aligned with current market trends. Because they live locally, their understanding of Hobsonville Point’s lifestyle, community, and buyer appeal was genuine and practical. That lived experience translated directly into the marketing strategy, adding a level of authenticity and insight that’s hard to replicate. They brought a natural flair to positioning the home in a way that truly reflects what makes this area special. Overall, this is a professional, responsive, and data‑driven team who combine strong analytical skills with real local knowledge — a standout combination for anyone selling in Hobsonville Point.

More than agents — Partners who lead with integrity and truly put your best interests first

Working with Jev and Matt has been an exceptional experience, especially in what is currently a very tough and unpredictable property market. Their communication was consistently timely, clear, and transparent - we felt supported and reassured at every stage of the campaign. They kept us updated regularly and provided valuable, insightful advice that helped us navigate the challenging market conditions with confidence. One thing we truly appreciated was that they never pressured us into accepting offers that weren’t in our best interest. Their focus was always on achieving the best possible outcome for us, and that integrity made a huge difference. Their marketing was outstanding, particularly the catchy and beautifully produced video that showcased our home perfectly and helped it stand out despite the difficult environment. Jev and Matt demonstrated a deep understanding of current market dynamics and consistently went above and beyond throughout the process. Beyond their professionalism, they built a great relationship with us, making the entire journey smooth, positive, and stress free. We’re incredibly grateful for their dedication and highly recommend Jev and Matt to anyone looking for agents who combine expertise, care, and exceptional service in a challenging market.

Amazing support, guidance, accessibility, and excellent local knowledge

As a first-home buyer, I was nervous about the process, but Lea made everything feel straightforward and manageable from start to finish. She was always accessible, friendly, and happy to answer any questions along the way. Her local knowledge was incredibly valuable and helped me feel confident in my decisions. Having someone so approachable and knowledgeable guiding me through the purchase made a huge difference. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first-home buyers!

Exceptional support from start to finish

It was my very great fortune to have Léa to sell my house. Her qualities were evident from the outset. Léa’s drive, enthusiasm, and unstinting support proved invaluable to me in the quest to sell my home in a very flat Auckland market. Léa has remained a constant positive and energetic presence in supporting me through this daunting journey. In fact, Léa has continued to support me well after the actual sale of my property, providing tangible assistance in securing a new abode. I cannot speak highly enough of this remarkable young woman.

Positive energy, with realistic expectations

Matt and Jev made us feel confident that we would find the right buyer for our property. Despite what proved to be a difficult market, they communicated well with us and clearly explained when we had to pivot our marketing plans to give us the best chance of a fair price and timely sale.

Can't go wrong with these guys

Very belated review sorry guys, still sorting out the house... and we got a puppy, if you know what I mean... We were few viewings into our rookie buying adventures that we stumbled upon these two "Hobsters", plus Operations Manager, Oreo Haines. (Matt's well-behaved dog). Throughout the process, it was very evident that, whether being the buyer or seller, there was equal dedication and a fair approach to both sides involved. Communication was always clear, and open, whenever required. A fun and personable approach, too. Thoroughly recommend, and we hope they continue to have further success in their field. See you on the footpath!
