Excellent experience from start to end

Excellent experience from start to end

We could not have been happier with Sonia Dufty from start to finish in our purchase journey. What could have been a complicated and stressful process, particularly with the body corporate and a number of other complexities along the way, was made so much easier because of Sonia’s calm, professional and genuinely caring approach. From the very beginning, Sonia was incredibly responsive and always available when we needed her. She never once made us feel pressured or rushed into making a decision. Instead, she gave us the space and confidence to work through things at our own pace, while always being there with guidance and support when we needed it. What really stood out was how resourceful and relentless Sonia was in finding answers to our questions. Whenever something came up that needed clarification or further investigation, she went the extra mile to get the information we needed and kept us informed throughout the process. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. Most importantly, we genuinely built a strong sense of trust and connection with Sonia throughout the journey. We always felt that she understood what was important to us and was genuinely invested in helping us achieve the outcome we wanted, rather than simply trying to get a transaction over the line. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sonia to anyone looking for an agent. She was exceptional to deal with, and we are extremely grateful for everything she did for us.

Nothing short of exceptional

Nothing short of exceptional

We were on the buy side with Sonia and dealt with her on two properties. She was incredibly professional, genuine and proactive. We found her a delight to deal with and breath of fresh air which is rare with real estate agents especially on buy side matters. We are delighted with the house we purchased from Sonia and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth even after moving in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sonia to anyone looking to sell their home and she’s one of the best agents I have ever met. Thanks Sonia.

A pleasure to work with

A pleasure to work with

Cristina was with us for a 3 year process on our house sale. As the market worsened and sales were hard for all in Auckland Cristina kept positive and managed to find a buyer so we could move forwards with our new life in Christchurch. Always courteous and passionate about her role despite a roller coaster ride, it was a pleasure working with Cristina.

Knowledgeable, well connected and a pleasure to deal with

Cristina was a pleasure to deal with throughout the sale of my property. She has a strong knowledge of the market and made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. What particularly stood out was the strength of her network and her ability to connect the right buyers with the right properties. She was professional, approachable and easy to work with, and communicated well throughout the process. I was very happy with the outcome and would have no hesitation recommending Cristina to anyone looking to sell their property.

We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. It was a challenging sale with some difficult circumstances, but she handled everything with professionalism, patience and care. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We’re so grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend her!

Ed’s simply an outstanding agent

Ed ran an excellent sale process for our home and was a pleasure to deal with. He provided direct and measured feedback at every stage and was, without exception, professional and responsive. Ed has an incredibly deep understanding of market dynamics, which translated into a perfectly-curated sale process.

Honest, Empathetic and Results-Driven

We have sold several properties through Blair and have always appreciated his honest, straightforward approach. He is a great communicator, doesn’t sugar-coat things, and is upfront about what to expect. Blair follows through, delivers results, and handles the process with genuine empathy and professionalism. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property.

Campaign leader, trawled the market, kept us involved, great result!

Campaign leader, trawled the market, kept us involved, great result!

Blair’s engagement to sell our apartment in Freemans Bay clearly demonstrated his professional reputation for market knowledge, a broad client and prospect base (many fostered over decades), integrity, openness, respect, clear and concise communications, and a diligent and focused work ethic. He interacted positively and proactively with us, showing genuine care and empathy, keeping us fully informed of market conditions, prospects, campaign plans, activities and progress, providing us with prompt and relevant feedback and advice, while managing our expectations, never overselling. Our successful sale encapsulated all the above factors. Blair pursued an opportunity through one of our open-house attendees, who in turn recommended our eventual purchasers. While their apartment was not actively on the market, they presented an acceptable offer to us, conditional on its sale. They engaged Blair to market their property, leading quickly to a successful sale at auction, concluding with an unconditional purchase of our apartment. One initial engagement, two sales! For the latter part of these activities Blair was travelling overseas, and worked seamlessly with his Bayleys colleague Dominique to achieve a successful project and outcome for us. We highly recommend Blair as your make-it-happen representative!

We chose Cristina for her warm, engaging style backed by a deep understanding of the market and proven results in the area. She was easy to work with, gave us good sales direction, and we were very happy with our final sale in what is a tough market right now.
