THis agent cares about you as well as selling your house

THis agent cares about you as well as selling your house

At first meeting I was very impressed with Sonia's professionalism. She was very careful and thorough especially about disclosure (important to all Aucklanders after Anniversary weekend flooding!). She led me through this process as well as the staging (which I was initially against) but once done, was superb. Because I was under pressure to sell I also appreciated the fact that Sonia sensed my stress and went out of her way to bring me some nice cooked food. She also provided excellent photos of the property and regular feedback on potential buyers. Altogether Sonia is very open, professional, and caring. I recommend her highly (11/10)

A true professional

We first met Sonia three years ago and have seen her in action as an agent in a number of different listings over that period when we were house hunting ourselves. We have always been impressed with Sonia's ability to connect with buyers, her professionalism and her knowledge of the market. She was a natural choice when we decided to list our own property. Sonia provided exceptional advice from the moment we considered listing, and was fantastic at ensuring we presented our house to its full potential. She is extremely generous with her time and was always willing to discuss our options in depth. Sonia took the time to learn everything she could about our home in order to be able to share with potential purchasers. Sonia ran an excellent campaign for us - open homes were very well attended and we received multiple offers shortly after going to market. Sonia kept us well informed throughout and we were delighted with the outcome of the campaign. We are very pleased to recommend Sonia as an agent.

Blair made the process of selling our home so easy, from assisting with getting it ready for market, through to a great looking marketing campaign and getting lots of prospective buyers through. His experience and knowledge of the local area was so helpful and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Pawel was fantastic to work with throughout our home-buying process. He was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about our new house and the surrounding area. Couldn’t recommend him enough especially for first time buyers like us.

Blair Haddow -The Gold Standard of Real Estate

Working with Blair Haddow has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Blair is not only highly professional and deeply knowledgeable about the Auckland market, but he also brings an energy, confidence, and commitment that truly sets him apart. What impressed me most was his honesty, his attention to detail, and the way he genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. Blair communicates clearly, follows through on every promise, and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free. You can feel his passion for real estate and his dedication to people. Whether you are buying or selling, Blair brings a level of expertise, trust, and personal service that is rare to find. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for a top-tier real estate professional who delivers real results with integrity, Blair is absolutely the one you want on your side.

Seamless Service, Integrity and Respect from Start to Finish

Seamless Service, Integrity and Respect from Start to Finish

Pawel is truly unforgettable - not simply because he sold my house, but because he is a remarkable human being who treated me with respect and dignity throughout the entire process. In the past, I had difficult experiences with other agents, but Pawel and his partner Jock Kooger stood out for their honesty, transparency, and professionalism. From the very beginning to the final settlement, our conversations were respectful, clear, and free of any miscommunication. Their approach to selling property was thoughtful and effective, and I felt supported every step of the way. I cannot praise Pawel and Jock enough. Even though I no longer live in New Zealand, I will aways remember their support as a key part of starting fresh in my new country. I wholeheartedly recommend Pawel and Jock to anyone seeking trustworthy, respectful professional real estate agents.

Couldn’t have asked for better

I feel very lucky to have had Sonia as my agent and honestly couldn’t have asked for better. She is super knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, organised and just a lovely person to deal with. I am super stoked with my new house and wouldn’t be in it without her. Thanks so much Sonia!

Excellence beyond expectation.

Excellence beyond expectation.

Having previously used others, this time we chose to be more thorough in our search for the best agent for our locale. We chose Cristina Casares of Bayley's Real Estate, only to then have our decision further reinforced by numerous friends and friends of friends. The open home and auction attendances greatly exceeded the current norm, testimony to her diligence and work ethic. The result achieved was both timely and above expectations. As an added bonus Cristina was an absolute delight to work with for which we are truly grateful. Thank You Cristina.

Beyond the call of duty all the way

We have both purchased from and had Cristina sell a property for us. On both occasions she literally went beyond the call of duty - working all the hours it took, communicating constantly and realistically and, most importantly, achieving a great result for us. We could not fault Cristina. She is the consummate professional.

Nick was highly credible. His knowledge of the property was exceptional, he was always available to take us through the house (a number of times), he answered every question we had with honesty and if he didn't have the information we needed, he went away and found it out. Nick is very professional, knows his market and goes above and beyond to deliver a premium service. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Nick again.
