Nick provided first class service over the entire sale process. He knew the market and neighbourhood very well and was highly communicative throughout, always giving transparent and realistic advice. The marketing strategy was clear and well-defined, and a lot of effort was put into open homes and comms with potential purchasers. It was a great pleasure to work with him and we have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Having successfully worked in the real estate industry myself for over 25 years in Tauranga, I believe I am well qualified to comment on a salespersons competency, skills, and character. Elliot Barnes is a rare breed. His friendly, good humoured manner, combined with his personable, polite personality means this gentleman can quickly and easily assimilate with any situation or circumstance. Add his substantial experience in real estate and the skills and competencies required to be effective, efficient and successful, and you have Elliot Barnes- a wonderful caring person dedicated to helping others in an honest, open and completely transparent way. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and even through the challenging process of selling our home, he was always there for us.

We had a great experience working with Brent, Hunter and the team. They sold our home off market before we were even able to list it and achieved a good result. Their advice throughout the process was clear which gave us a lot of confidence in every decision. Communication was easy and timely, and the whole process felt smooth and well managed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

These guys delivered. On everything! We weren't sure where to start but the guided us through the entire process and they really worked for us and filled us with great confidence. We were very busy ourselves, but these guys advised us what to do, we did it and never worried. The home staging advice, the price point and the final outcome, the teamwork and repore they have together.... was amazing. We are beyond grateful and would totally recommend them. So enthusiastic and reassuring. Life happens along the way but these guys carried the can for us....and delivered! Well done Team Bastin Group.

Deborah made the experience of having our home on the market simple and straight forward. From the first meeting having us understanding the market at the time to the portal app that the company uses for feedback it was easy. Deborah never missed an open home and I know she would of been welcoming to any prospective buyers that came through our front door. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Deborah to friends and family

We first met Elliot when we were on the other side of the fence as buyers. We didn’t end up with that house, but we did walk away thinking, “Well… if we ever sell, that’s our guy.” Fast forward to selling our own home, and Elliot absolutely delivered. He’s professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and refreshingly positive with a great sense of humour that made the whole process far less stressful than it could have been. He kept us informed, guided us confidently through every step, and somehow remained incredibly patient and tolerant of all my questions, ideas, and last minute thoughts/changes (a true skill). Elliot is the kind of agent you trust completely, enjoy dealing with, and would happily recommend to anyone whether you’re buying, selling, or just need reassurance that everything is under control. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to sell our home.

Elliot has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He had a clear plan for the sale of our home from the start and executed each step without any issues. Elliot kept us updated throughout the entire process. Made the whole process stress free, also went above and beyond for us. Thank you Elliot for your professionalism and patience with us.

Working with Elliot has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His professionalism stood out immediately and every detail was well thought out and handled with care, clarity, and confidence, making the entire process seamless and well‑managed. What really sets Elliot apart though is his genuine enthusiasm and optimism to get the job done which meant he approached every viewing, conversation, and challenge with continual energy and excitement. He consistently brought a positive, solutions‑focused mindset that kept everything moving forward. That attitude made a huge difference helping me to feel supported every step of the way and, along with his excellent and frequent communication, it allowed me to leave the sales process entirely in his competent hands. He delivered the result he set out to achieve and also went above and beyond to help us secure our next home which we are incredibly grateful for. I highly recommend Elliot for his ability to get the job done.
