Excellent

From our very first contact with Gareth at an open home we went to, he's not just an agent, he's a friend. For the following 9 months he guided us through a very stressful time, and at no time did he hassle us. His knowledge of the market helped us determine a selling price, nd be guided by an overinflated price that wasn't practical. It was hard to leave Catherine Street after 25 years but Gareth helped us find our perfect home nd helped us navigate both buying nd selling. The most impressive attribute Gareth has is his on going contact with us, not just as agent but the friend he has become. We would certainly recommend him to anyone looking at selling, for his excellent communication and very cheerful personality which made him easy to get on with.

Exceptional and professional

Nikki helped us sell a property in difficult circumstances. As strangers to the NZ property world we got the help, support and advice from Nikki we needed to help us navigate this sale. Nikki's advice and knowledge was reassuring and very much appreciated - she 'held our hand' throughout the process, and particularly when we encountered some 'bumps' along the way. I didn't think we would be able to sell as swiftly and smoothly as we did, and this very much down to Nikki and her colleague. Nikki felt very much as a wise friend in the process and I will be forever indebted to her for her professionalism and empathy at a very difficult time. Thank you Nikki.

Easy, professional, honest

We met Gareth as buyers and found him honest professional, down to earth and genuine, which made choosing him to sell our house so much easier. The entire experience was a breeze, he took all the stress away and made our first time selling smooth. To put the cherry on the top he showed us our house that we brought to so not only did he sell our old house he introduced us to our new home to, everyone we met through bayleys were so lovely and easy to deal with and we can’t thank them enough for going on this journey with us.

Excellent communication skills, Market knowledge was very good and Nikki was very Professional

I found Nikki to be very professional when needed not frightened to tell me the truth about my property while supporting my decisions and doing the very best for me at all times. The marketing of my property was very well done and video was excellent. I am very happy with the outcome and would recommend Nikki again as I felt comfortable with her and trusted her advice

Highly Recommended!

Amazing to work with! The communication was wonderful and our house was under contract within the first week. I put this down to the exceptional videography and photography utilised, and Nikki's hands on approach and communication with her buyers. This felt easy - such a smooth process. Highly recommend.

Comprehensive, informed and professional.

Gareth proved knowledgeable, efficient and professional in his work with us. We met Gareth at a difficult time, and throughout he demonstrated both his knowledge and insights of the real estate situation in the area we were selling in. In addition, Gareth's advice and support recognised our particular situation and his empathy and understanding were much appreciated. On more than one occasion Gareth went beyond his remit, in helping us with many practical matters. When our first sale offer fell through, Gareth was there to help us consider the options, and secure a second offer, and subsequent sale for which we are extremely grateful. Thank you Gareth.
