Dear Sir/Madam, Alison and I go back to 2012 when my husband and I started looking for our first home in Auckland to raise our two little boys in. I immediately struck up a good relationship with Alison due her warm smile and her sincere genuine understanding of our goals. Her excellent knowledge of the market, her expertise in negotiations for the best price, her attitude of going above and beyond in helping us find that perfect home and keeping it real made me want to seek her out again when it came to sell that same property nearly eight years later. With out her I don’t think we could have got the job done as in the end it became quite a sad and challenging property to put to the market. Her expectations were spot on and she was always there to reassure us that we were on track, her feedback and research was outstanding and we felt safe in her very capable hands. Alison worked very hard for us and bent over backwards so I can only express nothing but the highest of recommendations as she continues to help people buy and sell real estate. Sincerely, Emma Hamilton.

I first came across Karen when I was hoping to purchase a property which I missed out on. Karen worked to try to find me something else by approaching people on her database that might have suited my requirements. When the apartment came up again Karen helped me to secure my dream place, and I then listed my property with her. I've never seen such efficiency in getting a property ready for listing in about three days, yet not one corner was taken. She then delivered the sale within seven days of the first open home, getting me a price I was really happy with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen for any purchaser or seller. She will treat you as much more than just another listing.

Alison is professional and easy with a delightful personality. She managed the sale of my house extremely well, with a total of 8 offers presented at the end of the deadline sale process. What could have been a very stressful time was made streamline and simple with Alison's consistency and attention to detail. Alison was happy to listen to my thoughts and requests during the process, whilst sharing her knowledge and experience with courtesy and consideration. Thanks Alison!

Dear Barry and Grant It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to you both, but I'm well aware that as a friend of Alison's it will not hold quite the value I wish it could. I entrusted Alison (and Robert) to sell our family home in Stonefields, while we were effectively half a world away in Amsterdam. And as I expected it has been the easiest and most pleasurable experience possible. I knew Alison as a real estate agent would be gentle, professional and relentless when required and she has surpassed all expectation. Alison (and Robert I suspect) went above and beyond the requirements of a real estate agent and friend by vacuuming cat hair, picking up rubbish blown into the garden, collecting the mail, feeding the cats in the weekend, covering the staging furniture to ensure the cats don't scratch it, the list is endless. I'd like to think all of the above is because of our friendship teehee, but in reality it's both that and the fact the Alison is the consummate professional. I cannot recommend her and Robert enough and please feel free to post this letter to the public in whatever medium you both wish. Thank you Barry and Grant for your part in the sale of our home. I wish you and the UP family all the best, and of course most of all the biggest thank you and appreciation to Alison and Robert for such amazing work and result.

Kind Regards Marion & Kevin Etches

Karen is proactive, hard working, and always ready with a solution so nothing ever seems like a problem. Despite living in another city, I felt connected to the process and well informed. I had complete trust in Karen’s professionalism.

We cannot speak highly enough of Alison’s marketing and sale of our property. With no final inspection of renovations we carried out over 20 years ago, to say the process was complex is an understatement. All the qualities you would wish for in an agent Alison has – She is experienced and knowledgeable, honest, unflappable and true to every other adjective previous reviewer’s have used here. Alison’s advice on the approach to marketing proved spot on and saw unprecedented numbers of potential buyers view our home and ultimately, 5 bidders take part in the auction. This outcome was wholly down to Alison’s understanding of the market, her advice and her sheer hard work. Our review would be incomplete without also mentioning Alison’s husband and 2IC, Robert. His enthusiasm and positivity were a great antidote to any trepidation we were feeling and he too played a pivotal role in selling our property. Alison and Robert are a class act and, if we were in the habit of regularly buying and selling property, we would have them on speed dial. If you are selling, do yourself a favour and give Alison a call.

I’ve been meaning to email for some time, to say how much Carol and I enjoyed our interaction with you over the recent purchase of our apartment in the Bellus complex in Stonefields. As someone who works in Real Estate, you’ll know how stressful the process can sometimes be for buyers and sellers, but I have to say we were pleasantly surprised at how seamlessly the whole transaction was conducted, due in no small part to your caring and professional approach. We are thoroughly enjoying the apartment lifestyle in Bellus as well as the convenient location, which has been life changing for us. With warm regards Carol & Allen Miller, BELLUS-Stonefields

Wei Wei Elder was chosen from a shortlist of three top performing Real Estate Agents to sell our Family Trust owned property, in a three week campaign, culminating in an auction. Wei Wei listened to our requirements and provided excellent advice. Her well designed advertising and marketing campaign attracted maximum exposure. She provided guidance and regular updates throughout the sale process, from time of listing until the property was sold. Wei Wei has a wealth of industry knowledge, especially in residential real estate in the Epsom area. From her first appraisal to the final hammer, Wei Wei worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. In this softening market, we were impressed with the pre auction offer after the second week, and the property was sold at auction the following week for an excellent price. We found Wei Wei to be passionate and totally committed, well organized, reliable, hard working, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. We have no hesitation in recommending Wei Wei to others contemplating selling their Epsom properties.

Lorraine was always the consummate professional – calm, organized, clear and concise in explanations, provided regular updates on progress and went the extra mile in following up leads and securing offers on my property. She came to me highly recommended by friends who had sold 2 properties with her as their agent. I would not hesitate to endorse her to my friends and family in the future and in fact have already done so.

I couldn’t be more happy with my experience with UP. Josh Nixon and Graeme Miller advised, guided and supported us through the sale of my mother’s house, in a difficult market. They managed to get a result that seemed out of reach at one stage, and I was extremely impressed with their skill, expertise, and very hard work on our behalf to get that result. For a process that can be very stressful, I was glad to be in their very capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this awesome team to anyone considering selling their home. Karen Sproul
