My purchaser had rather a long list of non-negotiables. Must have water view and a separate income. After much viewing and an unsuccessful offer I took Gael out of her comfort zone and quietly pleaded with her to view a specific property with me. She subsequently bought it and is very happy with her purchase. Canoeing around the harbour her property borders is the icing on the cake. We have become friends also...and now I have also sold her ex-partner a new home.

These owners were advertising privately some years back but then decided not to sell. They didn’t want to be pressured by an agent so I just touched base annually. Eventually they decided a move was on the cards to be closer to family. The husband loved the location though and was unsure if he wanted to give this up. It took some time to find the best buyer as it also fell into a potential flood zone. Although council has remedied all these problems a lot of buyers remain wary. As it happens, I was a neighbour and in turn eventually sold to a lovely young couple who were my neighbours. It was initially out of their buying range however after much research they found nothing compared and so decided to skip the gradual process of purchasing in steps. They decided to make their dream property become their reality.

Living in Australia and wanting to sell our NZ home we were referred to Carol at Eves Tauranga. Following initial discussions with Carol we decided to list our Papamoa home with Carol and Eves. We liked her honest, and upfront approach and decided to follow her recommendation to sell via Auction. Carol worked well with the tenants and no issues were raised during this time to complete a successful marketing campaign. Pre-Auction Carol was there to help us with every step and the information provided was informative and accurate. This property was in Papamoa so I worked with the Papamoa team in this instance. As it happened, another agent came up with the best buyer on auction day and we sold for a very ‘happy price for the vendor’. Team work is important. On Auction day, Carol and her team advised us how to get the best price possible, and they achieved a result which was extremely satisfying!! Having Carol working for us was a breeze, she is down to earth and easy to do business with and we are most appreciative of all the effort and hard work she put into achieving the “Best” price possible for us and our family. Many, many thanks!

I would recommend Carol to anyone who wishes to sell their home.  If Carol wasn't available she always came back to me when she was free. I was happy to Auction my home and even though I didn't sell at Auction, after our next Open Home we had three contracts.  In two days time my house was sold. Carol always kept in touch. The information I was given before and during our marketing was very satisfactory.  Even though Carol had many more listings to care for, she took it in her stride. I am certainly a happy Vendor.

We chose Carol to market my mums house first and then mine because of her local knowledge and network. We felt comfortable with her and the team bringing potential buyers through during open homes etc. We were impressed with the marketing material published in various publications and online. Both sales were achieved in the projected time frame and returned good results from their auctions. We would not hesitate to recommend Carol Dovey to sellers and buyers and have bonded with her cat.

A pleasure to deal with. Carol is very personable and approachable. No question too silly or too much trouble. Very knowledgeable. Helped us navigate the auction room/process. Thanks Carol.
